Trip Type: Overnight Stay Review 1 of 30Excellent location
A very short walk to the New Acropolos Museum, which is highly recommended, although it was very crowded on Saturday afternoon in early October.

Trip Type: Family Review 2 of 30Great Room, Great Location right outside of the Plaka
While the front desk can be grumpy and you have to pay for the jacuzzi the amazing views from the roof deck, the ambiance of the hotel, and the great location more then make up for it.

This hotel is of very good quality and very close to the plaka. Room with view on the Parthenon is a must to ask.

Trip Type: Not Provided Review 6 of 30Great Location
We looked for a hotel that we could see the Acropoles from the hotel roof garden and it would be easy walking distance to the acropoles and the museum and this hotel was the perfect fit.

Trip Type: Romance Review 7 of 30Honeymoon in Greece...
This was our first trip to Greece and we did lots of research online to find a hotel that was convenient, affordable, and in a great safe neighborhood. We were only going to spend 2 nights in Athens and then travel to Crete, so we wanted a hotel that was walking distance to the Acropolis, and the New Acropolis Museum. From the moment we arrived at the Herodian,(after traveling 16 hours from Los Angeles and taking the bus from the airport to Syntagma Square) the staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was perfect for what we were looking for. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean and up to date and the a/c worked great. We really enjoyed the roof top deck, we sat there in the evenings, ordered drinks and enjoyed the view of the Acropolis after each long day of site seeing. Our last night we ate at the hotel restaurant, the food was better than what I was expecting, since we ate at a few great restaurants in the area. Also, the breakfast has a large selection of items to choose from, it is on the better end of european breakfasts I have encountered. Overall, I would return and recommend this hotel because of location, cleanliness, helpful staff and the rooftop deck.

Trip Type: Special Event Review 8 of 30Excellent location
As others have said, this is in a great location with a stunning roof garden. Rooms are clean, newly renovated, with large bathrooms. My only complaint is that we were next to the maids' closet and they started making considerable noise at 7am.

Trip Type: Overnight Stay Review 9 of 30Herodion
The hotel was fairly well located. From what I read and have now experienced, Athens is not a well kept city. You go there for the sites. With that being said viewing the sites lit up at night was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. The hotel itself was modern and attractive from the lobby as well as the street. Not at all over the top though. So if that's what you want you'll need to go to the five stars. The hotel was well kept and clean and the staff was not rude but not overly friendly either. Breakfast is not fancy but met our expectancy of the average B&B breakfast. Our room and bathroom was small. But most in Athens are. The hotel location was in what felt like a bad area, not well kept, graffiti and building repair everywhere. This is also typical I have heard so I wasn't dissappointed or surprised. The hotel is a 5 minute walk to the New museum and the outside edge of the Plaka. If your looking to be in the thick of the Plaka this is not the location you want.

Trip Type: Romance Review 10 of 30Nice Enough
This hotel has a great location. We stayed in a room looking out at the Acropolis. That was very nice. It seems like this was a business type hotel and the service was not overly friendly or personal for a vacation stay. Breakfast was very good. Our shower was broken and we reported it immediately. After two nights stay, they still had not fixed it. For the price, I would have expected more.

Trip Type: Not Provided Review 11 of 30next to new Acropilis Museum
Good location near walking distance of Acropolis and next to new Museum. Walking distance to Plaka region ( resturant section). One stop on metro south of Syntagma Square,( but check the metro schedules as we found that it was closed from Athens Airport due to construction of 3 new stations). Staff was very nice and helped us book tours and even printed our boarding pass when we asked. I would stay there again.

Trip Type: Family Review 12 of 30Great location
We were pleased with the location of the Herodion. It was close enough to walk to most of the things to see in Athens. The view from our room was terrific. The front desk staff was not friendly or very helpful but the rest of the staff was great. I would stay at the Herodion again and would suggest it to friends.

Trip Type: With Friends Review 13 of 30Great stay, but details need work
Location was fantastic and we loved the rooftop Jacuzzis. Service was friendly and helpful, and the place has a nice design. On the downside, the Jacuzzi policy of 5 euros and only 15 minutes seemed a bit bogus. The pillows were way too firm. The shower design meant water goes everywhere unless one is really, really careful and the cleaning staff start vacuuming at 8am. I'd recommend the place, but these are the sorts of things that keep me from giving it a 5.

Trip Type: With Friends Review 14 of 30Great stay in Athen
Postivie: Location: Great location, safe and close to metro station acropolis. 5 minutes walk to acropolis and 15 mins to flee market. Safety: There are 2 girls in this trip and we feel safe around the neighborhood. Noise: Pretty quiet. (March) Room: Clean, comfortable, great breakfast. Can buy Euro in reception. Negative: Staff: Not very helpful with an attitude. A little short on patience. But that is about everywhere in Athen.
