The price/quality ration of this hotel can't be beat. The staff is friendly, the rooms comfortable and immaculate, every day a full breakfast, location is central but the street is quiet. What else would anyone ask for at the prices that Hermes charges? I think that we paid €105 per night for a double room.

Hermes hotel is right in the heart of Athens. Very clean very cozy friendly and helpful staff. Room was big enough with a nice balcony. Breakfast was nice and tasty. During the breakfast you could get any information in many languages for anything you could possibly ask from a very polite and friendly lady working there. Great value for money... More

Located in the heart of the historical center, close to the main attractions. The room was spacious and clean with a balcony. A bottle of wine was offered upon our arrival. The breakfast was good, and during the day coffee, tea and sweets were available in the lobby. Kind and helpfull staff. Good value for money.

We didnt find anything special about this hotel (no charm to speak of) but we have no complaints either. The room was clean, quiet, and had free wifi, safe, hair dryer, a/c, and a decent buffet breakfast is included. We had two twin beds pushed together but they're still made up as separate beds. If you want a double, maybe... More

This area is very good for tourists: the Syntagma Metro station is only five minutes walk away, the idyllic streets of Plaka are nearby, just like the shops of Ermou and its side streets. I arrived in the evening without a reservation. The first two hotels didn't have rooms available, and in Hermes they said they only have room for... More

No one knows how to welcome a frequent traveller like Dorina, the manager of the comfortable Hotel Hermes in Plaka, central Athens. Her smile is enough. But she adds so many little touches to her welcome. It truly is like coming home when I walk through the doors of the Hermes. Margarita and Stelios behind the reception desk are like... More

We could not have asked for anything more in central Athens – a clean, modern, reasonably priced, safe hotel within walking distance of the Acropolis and all the sights, restaurants and shopping of Plaka and surrounding neighborhoods. We used the directions on the hotel website to take the Metro from the airport to Syntagma Square – easy to do if... More

We were a group of 7 and was expecting 2 rooms with a few beds. But lo and behold! We were given 2 adjoining rooms for one family and another set of adjoining rooms for the other family - a total of 4 rooms with their own bathrooms! And the rooms were beautiful and super clean. The hotel is in... More
