What guests think

Across many reviews, Hermes Hotel stands out for its central Plaka location that is walkable to major sights and transit, generally friendly staff, clean premises, and a well-liked breakfast that many find varied and good value.

Rooms tend to be small, with some dated furnishings, soft mattresses, and occasional bathroom maintenance issues. Guests appreciate the quiet side-street setting and a rooftop terrace with Acropolis views, though there is no on-site restaurant and the rooftop bar has been closed in recent stays. Overall, expect a simple base with strong essentials for exploring Athens.

Staff was welcoming and helpful. Elevator was crazy and did not accommodate well but other than that the property was good and in a good area. Tneir sister property has an amazing rooftop bar that they told us about that made our whole trip to Athens wonderful.

Para uma passagem rápida em Atenas, o hotel Hermes atende perfeitamente. Muito bem localizado no bairro de Plaka, da para fazer tudo a pé e o metro da praça de Syntagma fica bem próximo. Além te ter uma varanda no último andar com vista para Pathernon, que a noite é linda e da para apreciar tomando um excelente vinho grego. Recomendo!

Situation à proximité de la place Sintagma et du métro, proche de la rue Ermou où sont les grands magasins, nous avons été tres bien accueilli et avons pu avoir la chambre plus tot. Nous avons apprecie le rooftop et la vue sur l acropole. Le petit dejeuner est vraiment complet avec beaucoup de spécialités grecques. La chambre etait tres confortable. Nous avons pu laisser nos bagages le jour du depart.

Good location for exploring the Plaka area of Athens and visiting the Acropolis. Liked that it was just a couple streets outside of the main tourist area. Great breakfast. Only one side of the hotel has Acropolis views, but I enjoyed our view of the city and rooftop restaurants.

My favorite thing was staff was very helpful. The day before checkout they were making sure we would get breakfast before we left.

The hotel staff was great, location perfect, breakfast was very good but could use a bit more variety… such as fried eggs or soft boiled instead of hard boiled and scrambled every day, etc.. but what they had was very good. Beds were comfortable and the pillows too. This was very important to me as I recently had a total hip replacement and will be having total knee replacement surgery back to back over the next few months. Hotel was very clean and the coffee and tea station in the lobby was always enjoyed and appreciated. It would be nice if they had an on-site restaurant or sandwich area that served Greek coffee or beverages. The only thing I am unsure about is our room, I had booked a superior room with hopes of having a balcony with chairs and a table to sit and have coffee at. We did have a balcony but it was not big enough or have any seating or a table so I’m not sure we were given the room we actually reserved. We were delayed by a day on arrival due to the Athens/Greece transportation strike so we arrived at 3:00-3:30 in the morning the next day. Regardless it was a good room and we will be staying there again as we go regularly and still have family and friends there. I also booked a separate room (standard) for my daughter and her boyfriend as we took them as a Christmas present to see where her grandparents (my parents) came from and to meet that side of our family. Their room was wonderful! They also loved the breakfast, coffee/tea station, staff and amenities.

Everything about the place is great. It is located very close to many of the main attractions of old city Athens. Aspro Alogo is a lovely restaurant just down the street. Lycabettus hill is merely a stroll away. There is no reason not to stay here!

The room was small and the air conditioning was too cold, but it was very clean and quiet with a nice little terrace I cannot comment about the surrounding area, the service and the breakfast as we had to rush out of bed to catch our cruise ship. If I were to return to Athens, I would definitely go to this hotel again

This hotel was really beautiful in design, cleanliness, and an incredible location right near the main Plaka in Athens. It was fantastic for all of those things. That being said, the staff at the front desk both when we checked in and departed were really unpleasant and, as a result, unprofessional. It was as if we were bothering them. The facility itself is perfect but they need to work with their staff on courtesy and kindness to customers.
