Philippos Hotel

Great location

This hotel was in a great location - within walking distance to the New Museum (not open as of 6/09) the Acropolis and all the sites. There was a lot of shopping and resturants nearby. I did not feel afraid to go out at night by myself. The front desk staff was extremely friendly and accommodated me even though I arrived 4 hours earlier than check-in. The rooms were very clean, but also very small. However, you don't really expect to spend alot of time in the room. My only recommendation is to make sure you have a map of where the hotel is when you arrive in athens because it was hard for me to find!

good location, nice people, clean place, but too small room

Overall I am happy with it, but what I paid might have got some more upscaled places. Still, it is a pretty good place, very close to the Acropolis, Olympia Zeus etc. The room and bed are very clean; air condition is in good order; breakfast is decent; the manager on duty is quite helpful. The only complaint is that the room is very small, essentially about 1 meter from the bed (a pretty large bed though) to the three sides of the walls or furnitures. I would only recommend it if you don't mind too much the size of the room.

breakfast

This part of our stay was our 7th, 8th & 9th day in Greece. If I see one more hard boiled egg and plain bread, rolls, more bread and rolls I would vomit. Maybe some cereal - different types. Or possibly a breakfast type quiche. (I know we weren't in France - but the hard boiled egg and bread thing gets real old, real fast.

Philippos Hotel Mykonos

Quick trip from airport and hotel had van there for pick up and arranged return trip for us. Beautiful hotel with clean rooms, great views, beautiful pool, varied breakfast. Easy walk down to beach area. Need to take a taxi to downtown area. Friendly, helpful staff. It was a great experience and a wonderful place to stay for the price.

Philippos Hotel

We just got back from this great hotel. It is situated in a very nice part of Athens. We booked early and were so fortunate to have room #701. This is a great, albeit small room, and the only one on the top floor (no neighbors) with a large terrace/roof deck which is private. It was so quiet. The view is stunning and looks directly up to the Acroplis. It was kept so clean. The breakfast is standard fare. The staff is efficient and friendly. This was a great value for the price. We just loved hanging out there. Greek TV is beyond fun. Efharisto.

Excellent location

We selected this hotel because of its location - 5 min walking from Acropolis and Plaka - and were happy with our choice. The room was clean, rather small and windows and balcony were facing another building very close. The staff was friendly and helpful, breakfast very good.

Great little hotel in an outstanding area

With the Acropolis at one end of the street and the Plaka nearby, what could be better? Very convenient location, clean rooms, generous breakfast, helpful staff. One warning, street address was not well known to taxi drivers -- take a map with you if you plan to take a taxi!

Great Location

The hotel is within easy walking distance of the Metro (Akropoli stop) and the Acropolis. Very convenient and a safe neighborhood to stroll around in. The breakfast was also very good (assortment of pastries, sausage, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, fruit , & drinks). We would definitely recommend it.

Acropolis within 5 minutes walking distance

The room was very clean and confortable. The Acropolis is a stone throw away. Very helpful staff. Would defenetely recomment to all my friends.

Excellent price for your money.

Extremely clean, centrally located near the Acropolis. Five minutes walk to the Parthenon. The staff couldn't be more helpful. I would defenetely recommendent it.

Mixed review

Stayed in 2 different rooms. Highly recommend Room 701. Do not recommend Room 411.

Awesome location!

The location of the Philippos Hotel is awesome if you're wanting to see the ancient Athens sites. It is only four blocks from the Acropolis and a few more from the Temple of Zeus and Ancient Agora, and it's very close to the Plaka for good shopping and restaurants. Also, the staff are extremely friendly and helped with some common Greek words. I have only two minor complaints: the room is tiny (but I wasn't there to spend time in the room, anyway), and one of the two days I did not receive my wake-up call (fortunately, I had a backup).
