This hotel is very convenient for Syntagma square/metro, 200 meters, to get the metro to the airport and all metro lines. Also, close to Plaka: it's the northern bit of Plaka but its immediate neighborhood is not so nice, though not grungy, however the picturesque touristy parts of Plaka start just a couple of streets to its south, and the...

Stayed at the Hermes Hotel for 3 nights recently (June 2013) and it was a great location, walking distance to everything. Clean and modern rooms, nice breakfast. The Manager (Dorina) was excellent and personally took the time to talk to us and other guests about options for sightseeing and restaurants which was very helpful. After arriving home she contacted us... More

The Hermes hotel is nice but as a hotel not very special. The rooms are good, but no better than in many other hotels. What is nice about the hotel is the location, walking distance from many ancient sites and Syntagma square with transport to en from the airport. The breakfast ok, but what is special is the personal attention... More

My husband and I stayed here for 1 night. Its a lovely hotel, rooms are modern and well decorated and have air-con and a balcony (though the roof terrace is a better option for sitting out). Staff are very helpful. Breakfast was very good with hot and cold selection. Its in a great location with the main attractions a short... More

The best thing about the hotel is the location. Short walk from both Zyntagma and Monastiraki makes it easy to walk everywhere in central Athens as well as reach all the main metro/tram/train stations. The room was small but nice. Some noise did come through the walls from other rooms and the corridor, which may bother a bit if you... More

Wonderful location within easy walking distance to the Acropolis, the New Acropolis Museum, Plaka district, the botanical gardens and central to the Metro, tour bus lines and hundreds of restaurants and shops, yet because it's on a side street, quiet and sheltered from the traffic and commotion of the city. Spotlessly clean and well lit rooms. The hotel even has... More

A few minutes closer to Syntagma sq. and you are saving $30 a night for a comparable experience. Good location, walking distance from transportation, major attractions, shopping and dining. Small but comfortable rooms, our bathroom even came with a bathtub. Bring your own hair conditioner though. Great breakfast buffet, with eggs, greek yogurt, jello cups and more. There is a... More

Went to Athens on our Honeymoon to start a cruise and booked this hotel because of the positive reviews on TA, it did not disappoint. We stayed two nights. Great location, close to all ( Plaka. Acropolis (use the south entrance - no tour buses and more ruins on the way up), Ermou Street (Shopping), Parliament Building) and more. Very... More

We had a great stay at the Hotel Hermes. It is conveniently located to the train from the airport and to the major tourist sites in Athens. The neighborhood is safe and the street it's on is quiet-- full of interesting religious vestment shops actually. The room is functional and clean-- we had a balcony that was a lovely treat... More
