Expert reviews
“Behind its elegant neoclassical facade, this boutique hotel was totally rebuilt. But the formal interior design stays true to exterior style, with lots of brass and dark wood.”

Great location and friendly team for short Athens stay
Very close to Acropolis and Museum. Staff very friendly and approachable. View from restaurant. Was excellent and staff happy to adapt the menu for gluten free. The bar staff worked really hard and kept their excellent customer service throughout. Breakfast was good with range of foods including continental and bacon etc.. Room very clean and tidy.. Full marks to housekeeping staff.. Reception really helpful with ongoing journey info and adapting the fact I had managed to book for one person not two!
Air conditioning switches off when not in room which with exceptional heat meant tit took a while before room was comfortable. Although any card seemed to work in the slot :_;

A pleasant experience
Excellent location with an abundance of shops and eating establishments close by. It's a mere footstep away from the Plaka, Acropolis Museum, Hop on Hop off buses with the Acropolis in the background. The staff was friendly and helpful. Air conditioning worked great in the July heat, and they served a full buffet breakfast. I plan on returning and will definitely book with them again.
Had no issues.

Perfect hotel for a city break in Athens
Excellent location. Staff were also excellent throughout hotel. Good breakfast service to start the day. We had a room on higher floor with small terrace which was perfect for evening drinks looking on to the acropolis and really nice of Parthenon. Athens is huge but central Athens is walkable and hotel near to everything. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful place to stay for our group of two elderly mothers (also sisters) and their daughters
Location was perfect for visiting Acropolis; loved the roof top restaurant (with view ) and its very friendly staff. Breakfast was excellent too.
Not a big deal, but the hair dryer did not work in our room. Otherwise rooms were clean and comfortable, with lots of charming elements

Great location with substandard amenities.

Is a very dated hotel. They’re working on replacing floors in the rooms, but attention and money should first be devoted to replacing the tattered bath towels and acquiring quality sheets that fit the beds.

Ideally placed quiet hotel in excellent location
Location is great. Off the main roads within walking distance of the Acropolis, Acropolis Museum, Hadrian’s Gate and Plaka. Hotel is quiet, while rooms are small which is the norm I believe, they were comfortable. Would definitely stay again and recommend
Lift was very slow and small.

It was good after the hotel turned the AC on.
Excellent location. Comfortable room. Very good breakfast.
The AC was off upon arrival. We had to contact booking.com to make a complaint. The hotel refused to turn it on. Finally on our third day at the hotel, they turned on the AC.

We felt very much at home at Hera Hotel and will be recommending it to family and friends.
The staff were so friendly and welcoming. They made suggestions about what to see and where to eat. The facilities were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent, as was the hotel restaurant for dinner. The location was perfect. Walking distance to the Hop On/Off bus stop, the Acropolis, Acropolis Museum and Plaka.

Amazing location and staff
The location is perfect just under the Parthenon, next to the acropolis museum, a few minutes walk from Plaka and in the vibrant neighborhood of Koukaki full of restaurants and bars. The room was large and clean. Very quiet. What really made me appreciate this hotel is the kindness of the staff. They really went above and beyond to make my stay very pleasant. There was a general strike on my departure day and they provided a private taxi to reach the airport. They also allowed me a late checkout at 3 PM free of charge. When the driver couldn’t reach the hotel to pick me up because of a demonstration, the gentleman at the reception (possibly the manager) personally walked me to the meeting point 5 minutes away and carried my luggage so as to make sure that I met the driver safely. All the staff at the reception (even at night time) and at the breakfast lounge were really kind and helpful.

one night in a comfy bed and quiet surroundings
location is excellent we arrived late but staff made us feel welcome
breakfast could have been better more like a continental rather than a full choice
19 February 2024
Very good hotel with incredible location, perfect for short stays.
Location is excellent as its walking distance from the Acropolis and archeological sites, 2 min from Acropolis station and many bars and restaurants in Plakas. Friendly staff, very comfortable bed.
A bit old, the building needs some renovations, also it wasn’t completely clean, found some dust in certain areas of the room.

Perfect small hotel in the heart of Athens.
The location was fantastic for Athens. The staff was good and special thanks to Dimitri. It was like having our own personal tour guide. Dimitri is amazing!

Comfortable place in a wonderful location
We were in Athens for the first time for 3 days on New Year's, but next time we will stay at this hotel again without a second thought. A great location for exploring the sights of Athens - both historical and culinary. The staff at both breakfast and reception are genuinely cordial and responsive.

Clean, comfortable, good value, good location for historical place lovers
It was a comfortable stay except for the soundproofing issue explained below
Unfortunately we were given a connecting room without being asked. And we could hear everything about the people staying next door, which made the room very noisy. Since we were only staying for 3 days and had already settled in the room, when we realized this problem we didn’t relocate to another room. Also there were no hooks in the room to hang stuff especially in the bathroom.

Great hotel, very clean, lovely staff, breakfast is great and the location is the fantastic.
Location is superb for exploring the Acropolis and ancient part of the city. Close to lots of nice cafés, restaurants and shops. Very close to the metro station - 2 minute walk. The breakfast was excellent, plenty of variety and all quality produce, especially enjoyed the traditional Greek breakfast.
The room was a little small, but for a city hotel, this is what I would expect, so I don't fault this.

Great stay in heart of Athens
Unbeatable location. We had 2 connecting rooms - one was in much worse wear than the other. Both faced street and had good soundproofing (even though there was a bar next door and we stayed over a weekend night). Beds super comfy
