The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is absolutely fantastic (a huge selection of foods both hot and cold). Most of all though, this hotel could not be in a better location! You are within a short walking distance to Syntagma Square and metro station, Monastiraki shops and metro station, Plaka, a plethora of restaurants, Hadrian's Library, the ancient Agora, and are just down the hill from the Acropolis. Also, the rooftop patio is incredible with an amazing view of the Acropolis. The rooftop restaurant at the sister hotel, Hotel Plaka, was fantastic. Nice lounge area and lobby.

The size of the room was quite small and the elevator was also very small (we couldn't fit the two of us and our small son and three small luggages in it at one time). The pillows weren't very comfortable. The kids play area has been well used and there are not many toys remaining. The ones that are there are in poor shape. But nice to have that kind of space though.

The hotel is well placed to easily access the acropolis, and the tourist sites around Plaka and Monastiraki. Buses and metro station nearby. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly.

Amazing hotel, Friendly staff. Perfect location, close to everything, clean rooms. Have stayed before and definitely would stay again. breakfast was good as-well.

We recently stayed at this hotel in Athens and had an excellent experience. The location was absolutely perfect, making it convenient to explore the city. The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable and the customer service was outstanding throughout our stay. The breakfast was of top quality, offering a wide variety of delicious options to suit all tastes. A special highlight was the kind gesture on our return when they served us coffee in the lobby free of charge, which made us feel truly valued as guests. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Athens. A big thank you to all the staff for their exceptional efforts in making our holiday fantastic. We can’t wait to return. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Travelled with 1 unrelated friend. Superior twin room with a balcony (18m2 according to Bkg.com) was a bit tight, but adequate. Balcony would be great in high season; a bit too cool in Nov. Breakfast buffet was ample and had most choices you would want (though after visiting many hotels subsequently, the specific items are forgotten). Location is exceptional! 10 minutes walk from airport bus or metro, and same or even less to the Roman Agora and other ancient archaeological sites. 1 - 5 minutes to a grand assortment of restaurants and shops in Plaka. Other hotels might be as good, but none are better. Hotel not lavish, but quiet, clean, comfortable, and convenient. Recommended.

Some people want luxury - a cocktail bar, a pool, a spa, entertainment. None of that in the Hermes Hotel, just everything you need for a comfortable stay.

The location was very good. Easy to walk everywhere. Although in a very central location, it was very quiet outside. The staff was very pleasant. Specially the lady at the reception was very helpful. She managed early check-in for us and provided lots of information. We had a bottle of wine in the room which we enjoyed. The breakfast was good. We found everything we looked for. And the hotel had a baggage scale at the reception. It was very useful while checking out. I did not see this in other hotels, but very useful for not paying overweight in the airport.

The corridor was very narrow, rooms too close to each other. Although we heart no noise from the outside street, it was very loud inside the hotel with opening/closing hotel doors of other customers. The toilet had a ventilation which starts automatically once you switch on the light. And it was very loud. It would be ideal if there were two different buttons, one for electricity, the other for ventilation. The toilet has a sliding door which is normal for saving space in the room, however it also made noise specially once you use the toilet durlng the night. Very disturbing for the other who sleep.

The hotel’s location is fantastic, perfectly situated close to the main attractions, making it super convenient for exploring the area and even for reaching the Acropolis. Everything was impeccably clean and the buffet breakfast was excellent, offering a selection of both Greek specialties and continental dishes. There were several options for vegetarians, but I would suggest adding a few more vegan choices to make it even better. Everyone from the staff was exceptionally friendly, but a special shoutout goes to Dimitra. Her warm smile and attentive care in the breakfast room in the morning made all the difference. She ensured every guest was well taken care of and was always ready with helpful suggestions for sightseeing. Well done to the entire team at Hermes Hotel. I would highly recommend this hotel and look forward to staying here again!

Hermes Hotel is in a great location in Plaka and we walked everywhere. It was a clean hotel, very nice and surprisingly quiet. The bed was comfortable and we slept great. The breakfast was good and included in the room rate. The hotel didn't have a rooftop bar, but the sister hotel did (Plaka Hotel) and we went there to view the sunset over Acropolis. We were very happy to stay here and would stay here again.

Everything was good. No complaints at all. The only negative was that the hotel charged us twice for our stay. But when I discovered it and contacted the hotel, it was fixed within a few days. I am glad I checked my credit card on my trip rather than wait until I got home. Even though that happened, it would not affect decision to stay again.

Having not stayed in a hotel in Athens for several years (the scourge of AirBnB), it was a nice discovery to find a decent, centrally-located place. On checking in, I could see my room had obviously been upgraded (to a top-floor terrace room), which was much appreciated. But it was very windy during my stay and I physically could not fully close the door on exiting the room. Luckily the lovely man at reception promptly helped with that and I knew that I had to be forceful henceforth! All the staff were very nice, with someone checking during (the very decent) breakfast how my (and other guests') stay was going. It was very comfortable and I would have no hesitation to book here again. Ευχαριστώ πολύ!

Perfect central location yet quiet and clean. Kind and professional staff at reception Many restaurants and bar close by . Not fancy but clean, and well appointed . A good choice for an Athens stop over and in walking distance from Syntagma Square and airport bus .

The breakfast is plentiful,but could have been a little more “ exciting”. Staff started removing food from buffet before 10.00 am ( end of breakfast time ) , while we had not finished breakfast - would have appreciated more flexible hours , or at least the time to relax and enjoy breakfast .
