Lock in a great price for Hermes Hotel – rated 8.8 by recent guests!

to get started.

Hermes Hotel is a good hub for anyone that wants to see Athens on foot. It is just a short walk away from Plaka district, Monastraki and Syntagma. Breakfast had many options, enough for a kick-start of a touristic day. Our room was very clean, good-sized and a had a lovely little balcony. The staff were amazing, very friendly and informative. Thank you to you all, we will be back.

Hotel staff very friendly and helpful Hotel situated very close to the Acropolis

Fernando, Brazil

We really enjoyed this hotel during our three-night stay. The rooms appeared to have been recently renovated, everything was clean and comfortable, the breakfast was excellent, and the staff were very professional and pleasant. The location in the Plaka is excellent, yet there is no undue traffic noise and the rooms are quiet. If you arrive via the airport metro to the Syntagma station, you simply walk straight a few blocks, then left a block, to get to the hotel. During the day, water/coffee/tea and cookies are offered in the lobby, along with a small bar. We also went to their "sister hotel", the Plaka Hotel, to enjoy rooftop cocktails with a perfect view of the Acropolis, especially near sunset. The Plaka Hotel is just a few blocks away, in the direction of Monastiraki.

There was no kettle in the room to make a cuppa in the morning but everything iléale was smooth. Great location, easy to walk everywhere and friendly, helpful staff.

Stephanie, Australia

I loved our room on an upper floor with a spacious balcony. Perfect location; we never took a bus or metro. All of the sights we wanted to see were within walking distance. Complimentary coffee & tea with biscuits were available until 8 pm. There’s a travel agency in the next block if you need to book ferry tickets to the islands. Rooms were cleaned promptly.

You are fully capable of getting anywhere from here through walking and public transportation. And the breakfast!! It is amazing.

“Great Plaka location, wonderful rooms and staff”
- • Leisure trip

눉Over three days and multiple showers, we simply could not find a way to take a shower without getting the bathroom floor wet. There was a gap between the glass wall and the bathroom wall, which was apparently done by design. They provide plenty of towels so it was not a problem, more of an amusing quirk.
눇We really enjoyed this hotel during our three-night stay. The rooms appeared to have been recently renovated, everything was clean and comfortable, the breakfast was excellent, and the staff were very professional and pleasant.

눉Minor Wi-Fi issues. I'm sure that going forward the Wi-Fi quality will be faster and better.
눇Hermes hotel is situated in a quiet street in the very heart of bustling Athens. It is very easy to get to the hotel by taking the metro from the airport to Syntagma square. The picturesque Plaka neighbourhood with its traditional restaurants and little shops as well as the Ermou shopping street are just a stone's through away. All main attractions (the Akropolis and the Akropolis museum, Monastiraki, the Ancient Agora etc.) are easily reached on foot and the friendly, polite and courteous hotel staff are more than happy to give you guidance and recommendations re your stay and the area. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and the main hotel area is very well kept (true to the spirit of Greek hospitality they offer their guests an open bar with coffee and treats until 8pm!). The balcony offering a view to the Athenian skyline is also a great plus! The breakfast is rich and the staff take extra care to keep replenishing the buffet. I had a great stay and will definitely be coming back! Thank you!
