Quaint and touristy, Athens’ oldest residential quarter sits in the shadow of the Acropolis. Plaka’s narrow cobbled streets are lined with bougainvillea-clad neoclassical mansions, souvenir shops and pseudo-traditional tavernas, some with live music. A village atmosphere prevails, despite the crowds. Close to all the top sights, it makes the best base for a short stay.

"Great hotel for center of Athens"
The hotel is very clean and well maintained. Is located convenient to central Athens activities...Acropolis, museum, Parliament Building, Syntagma Square, etc. VERY small elevator but it works! Nice afternoon set up for tea, coffee, cookies. Free wifi all over. Nice young woman came to each table at breakfast to help with travel questions. Encouraged […] us to take the train out to National Museum. Patiently explained how the procedure worked. We did it! Also showed us how to ride the X bus to airport for 5E instead of taking taxi for 50E! We did that with no problems. Easy walk from hotel to bus stop. Good eating places and shopping nearby. Big breakfast with eggs. Room rather small but beds were comfy. We would definitely stay there again. All the desk helpers were excellent. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great location"
The hotel is located in a central and touristic part of Athens the "Plaka" area. It is a few steps away from any attraction. It is cosy and nice. The staff is very helpful and the Manager Dorina is here every morning to welcome you and suggest you the best way to visit this beautiful town. We really enjoyed our stay in this hotel and warmly recommend […] it . Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Hermes is a reat little gem in a great location."
Hermes is a clean, basic hotel in a great location. I would absolutely recommend it.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice, friendly and comfortable hotel"
Very nice hotel, great views and breakfast. Good location, just a 10 minute walk to Mykonos town, but be prepared for coming back on foot up the hill pretty tired. Rooms are clean and spacious with nice balconies and sea views; only remark is that all rooms have two single beds together that cannot get close enough to really have a big bed; thus not […] the most comfortable experience when sleeping in couple. Staff is friendly and helpful and they give you free shuttle to pick you up upon arrival and take you to airport/port at your check out. Staff was so friendly that they gave us three different room options for us to decide which one we liked best. We would definitely come back and/or recommend to friends.

"A nice place to stay."
I had a very pleasant stay. The breakfast was good. The location is ideal. My only dislike is that the elevators are tiny.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Excellent!"
This hotel was a delight. A competent and friendly staff, a hot breakfast every morning and plenty of hot water for showering, which is sometimes rare in Greece. The room was Spartan but served us well.Genuine Expedia guest review

Good location walking distance to the Acropolis and restaurants. There is no good street in Athens, all streets dirty, graffiti walls, smelly. Hotels is clean and modern, better than most we've seen in Athens. They don't have free Internet, got to pay $2 EU per hour and then wait an hour fornthe page too load.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"nice hotel for the price"
the hotel was very nice in a great location...walking distance to everything.however, the room was a little bit small. there was just a queen bed. Not even a chair or a table. If the hotel had those 2 things in would have been greatGenuine Expedia guest review
"There is nothing wrong with it but would not go back."
I would not recommend this hotel to a friend. There is nothing extremely wrong with it, but there is nothing great either. The rooms are small, the bathrooms are extremely small, but if you are going to visit Athens, you will not spend a lot of time in the room anyway. The neighborhood looked dangerous at first, but then I realized that most of downtown […] looks the same. The staff is helpful and you will be very close to the Plaka, the Acropolis, Syntagma Square and major touristic places, but there are many hotels in the zone. So I would probably try another one.

"Clean, comfortable, friendly!"
Great hotel! Less than 10 minutes to beautiful black sand beach, restaurants, tour operators, etc. Located on a quiet street with parking lot, breakfast included. Charming hotel painted white and blue. Smelled nice, very clean. Had everything we needed for a relaxing stay.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Plaka location, reasonable price..."
We were very happy with the Hermes Hotel. It was centrally located in the Plaka, near all the sights we wanted to walk to. A great little local restaurant with an outstandingly friendly owner was just steps from our door. The rooms are small, but the price was right & location ideal.Genuine Expedia guest review

"good clean friendly hotel for short stay."
Shower was attached to taps and not on bracket on wall so therefore showering was quite difficult. Hotel quite centrally located for nice shops and restaurants. Staff very friendly and good choice at breakfast.Genuine Expedia guest review
"A good choice"
Stayed for ten days, and it was a comfortable experience. Staff are exceptionally pleasant, and the hotel is clean and well equipped. Very well situated for eating out in Plaka, and for access to all transport in Syntagma Square. just a few yards from the main shopping street, Ermou. All round, a very good choice.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great central location"
Condition of the hotel overall was very good. Staff were friendly and helpful. When we first arrived we asked for a change of room and the hotel changed our room without issue. Breakfast was very good and set us up for the day. Only point was the soundproofing of room which wasn't too good. All in all great hotel with superb location to explore Athens […] sights; with top sites - Acropolis, Archealogy museum & Agora - within walking distance. Note: Staying here gives free access to sister hotel - Plaka hotel - with roof terrace that gives great night views to Acropolis. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Great location"
A good hotel in the centre of Athens and I would stay there again. Breakfast was wonderful in particular, and I the cleanliness of the rooms was top rate. My only negative points were that the lift was too small. No more than two people could really fit in there, one if they had a suitcase. Also the shower wasn't great. After a minute or two it would […] flick back to bath but otherwise a great hotel and a very enjoyable stay. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great value!"
Great location. Easy walk from Syntagma station (under 10mins). Woman at front desk was extremely nice, helpful and welcoming. Safe, quiet, clean, in a great location. Very pleased with our short stay. Coffee, tea and water available all day is a really nice touch. Go to Greece! It is a beautiful country...great sights, great food and the most accommodating, […] friendly people...and they need our tourist dollars! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"very close to the sights a walking distance"
the staff was very nice and helpful. the room was nice, please make sure if you order a double bed that is not to beds attached to each other. Breakfast could be a little more abundant. OVER ALL IS A VERY GOOD HOTEL!!!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"OVERBOOKING"
I stayed once a year in the last 2 years in this clean, modernized nice hotel and had a confirmed prepaid, non cancelable reservation again this year.We arrived heavily loaded with luggage and were surprised learning at reception that they were overbooked and could only accommodate us for 1 night.as we did not want to move, they refered us to their […] much less attractive sister Plaka hotel at the same prepaid rate.We had to schlepp again there but at least they helped securing a decent lodging. Unfortunate experience, probably related to a lack of updating with Expedia by the hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"family run hotel"
This is a family run hotel with outstanding service. The owners went out of their way to make sure that everything was very comfortable for our stay with a 6 month old baby (e.g., loaning us a big bucket to give our baby a bath on the balcony). We had a wonderful room with a balcony overlooking the outdoor pool. The breakfasts included in the price […] of the booking were truly delicious, and unlike many hotels, breakfast was offered until noon everyday (which is a huge help when you are working on the schedule of a baby and a different time zone). My only criticism is that while the hotel room was very clean when we arrived, it did not get well cleaned during our stay. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hermes"
Hotel was fine and staff excellent, however one member of the staff [on the front desk] kept recommending a friends Resteraunt which overpriced the food and they added extras not ordered on to the bill, we spoke to many people at the hotel who had the same experience - message is ignore any Resteraunt recommendationsGenuine Expedia guest review

"Good people make a good hotel..."
We chose the Hermes Hotel based on very positive feedback from previous travellers. We were looking for a convenient, city-centre location that was clean, comfortable and reasonably priced. We were certainly not disappointed by the Hermes. VERY conveniently located within a few minutes walking distance of Syntogma Metro station, we couldn't have been […] more "central" in Athens. All sights and facilities in this bustling capital city were at hand (walkable) and yet the Hermes itself is situated in a quiet back street that affords a peaceful stay. The room we had was clean, modern and comfortable and provided us with all that we needed for our five-night tourist stay. The general condition of the hotel (lobby, common areas, lift etc) is good and welcoming. The breakfast arrangements were just right for us. A self-service buffet in an informal and friendly setting with a good choice of hot and cold food never failed to provide a positive start to our day. Having praised the structure and facilities at the Hermes, however, all that can very quickly be forgotten in the event of poor service or uncaring staff. Nothing could have been further from the truth!! From the moment of our arrival until the time of our departure we were extremely impressed by the warmth, friendliness and efficiency of all the staff. Nothing was too much trouble and special mention must go to Maria, the Assistant Manager, who was unfailing in her efforts to ensure that our stay was special. And it was!

An excellent value hotel in a superb central location. We arrived in the evening during the demonstrations and got caught up in the tear-gas being fired by the police in the main square.

The next day everything was back to normal and we had a great holiday seeing the fantastic […] sights of Athens Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Hermes Hotel in the heart of the Plaka"
We only stayed one night at this small, convenient hotel, but were very pleased with it. The taxi driver who drove us there said, "Oh, Hermes is nice hotel, very clean" - and he was right. The reception staff was extremely helpful with directions and let us store our luggage before we checked in. We didn't try the Continental breakfast, so can't give […] it a rating. The room was a decent size (not much view, but opening window), updated, tiled bathroom with tub, two single beds pushed together, and a pleasant Scandinavian look to the furnishings. The walls weren't thick, but I doubt if the usual clientele would be rowdy types. Rates were reasonable and there was an elevator (small!) to get you to the upper floors. Work is being done on the roof to allow a good view of the Acropolis. And if you want to be near the "fun" part of Athens, the Plaka district is the place to be. You can walk out the Hermes Hotel door into all the shopping and eating places you'll ever want or need. The only downside is the ever-present Athens traffic. We're in our late 60's, very fit, but even so had to remember that streets in this old part of town are narrow and traffic doesn't stop for slowpokes. We'd definitely go back to the Hermes again if we were in Athens. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location, Great staff"
Great Location Hotel Hermes has a great location and is where you would like to stay if you want reasonable comfort and a good experience. The staff is really friendly and all the essentials were present in the hotel I was traveling from Dubai and needed an adapter for my phone chager. In the middle east the sockets are different than the ones in Europe. […] The had all sorts of adapters to choose from and were more than happy to lend me one. Over all if you are not going to spend a lot... for a 5 star experience, I would highly recommend it . Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"A little gem!"
The Hermes Hotel was situated in a backstreet not far from Syntagma Square. First thoughts were that the street looked a bit dingy but once in the hotel we were pleasantly surprised. We were given a warm welcome, our room was clean and functional and our breakfast each morning was good. However the best thing about the hotel was that it provided very […] easy access to all of the areas we wanted to visit eg Acropolis, Plaka, Hadrians Gate, temple of Zeus. We would definately use this hotel again Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
