Room was clean and very nice. I was definitely impressed with the breakfast the next morning and the staff on hand to get you going in the... More

Situated in an excellent place, so there is no need to take a taxi or public transport, because you are in city center. Beautiful design, and very good prices. More

A good quality "family" hotel in the Plaka area. I needed to work in Athens as well as enjoy all the tourist "stuff".The Hermes allowed me to do both! All the staff are great - they do their job properly and are very accommodating. This place is definitely good value for money in a great location. More

In popular Plaka area ( old Athens) with close proximity to food tavern's, Asian food and beautiful narrow streets of quaint shops selling everything and anything a tourist would look for, one can't ask for more. Plaka is a must see in Athens. Absolutely interesting! I am glad I made the right choice. We had family... More

At the time I was assured they would be opened on time. Sure enough 4 weeks before I got an email from Easyjet saying that we were... More
