Herodion Athens

Honeymoon 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.

Nice 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.

Close to Everything!!

The staff was outstanding and very helpful. The facilities are very relaxing and the breakfast was way beyond the normal "continental breakfast" you get in the states. The Olive Garden and rooftop gardens were phonomenal with a nitetime view of the Acropolis that is very romantic. The only complaints I would have is that you have to pay to use the jacuzzi and the beds were on the hard side, but I'm an American & used to more lavish facilities. Compared to what some other American have told me concerning places they stayed at in Athens, this was a really nice hotel. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

great location

The hotel is in a great location just about 5-8 min walk to the Acropolis and about the same to the metro and Plaka. Awesome view of the Parthenon from the hotel roof. You do have to pay to use the hot tube though. Room is a little small but it isn't like your staying in the room all day.
