First the good: The hotel itself is alright and all of the staff we met spoke English well enough. It's in a convenient location to many local attractions including the Acropolis. The rooms and lobby were not a bad size either and were kept clean. Now the bad: It's not in a great section of town--but this would be fine... more

Got put in this hotel when the original planned hotel was overbooked. Although smaller than most small greek hotels it was a good, clean hotel with an above average breakfast and the ideal location. I also stayed at the Electra Palace during this trip, but if you can't afford that you would be perfectly fine here. Walk to the Acropolis... more

The hotel is in a great location, near the Acropolis. It is fairly easy to walk to from the subway, which I took from the airport. The hotel itself is nothing special, but the staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean, but fairly small. I would definitely stay there again but it is definitely not a luxury property. more

We absolutely loved this hotel. The staff were friendly, the breakfast was awesome & the room was clean & new (even the bed was comfortable). It was within walking distance of everything. Just a short distance up the street was the best 'all you can eat' Greek food for so little money. The food was incredible. We wanted to move... more

My boyfriend and I ended up staying in 3 different rooms at this hotel-- we stayed for 3 nights initially, went island hopping for about a week, and then planned1 last night in Hermes (before our flight back to NYC). We cut our trip short on the island of Paros (found it boring) so booked another room at Hermes (so... more

A good centrally placed hotel near everything that needs to be seen only a few minutes walk from Syntagma Square and the fast metro connection to the airport and all of Athens. The hotel itself was in a quiet street near the Cathedral,modern, clean and well-kept, having recently been refurbished. The breakfast was adequate and plentiful, but some fresh fruit... more

We truly enjoyed staying at this hotel in Athens. Location is everything when choosing your hotel in Athens and Hermes Hotel is right in the Plaka - near restaurants and a 15 min. walk at most to the Acropolis and all the other sites you will want to see. The staff are friendly, breakfast was more than ample and they... more

Hotel was available with Cyprus Airways package. We were wondering what to expect after reading some negative comments on Trip Advisor. (We always check out hotels before going, and sometimes before booking!) However, overall we were pleased with the Hermes for a city hotel. It is very easy to find, even on foot from Syntagma Metro station. The whole refurbishment... more

Conveniently close to Plaka area and Acropolis, modern clean rooms every thing new although room a little small but to be expected in Athens more
