Classic, historical, beautiful boutique hotel. Perfect location just down the street from the Acropolis. This street is also filled with restaurants, gelato and coffee. Short walk to the Plaka for shopping. Rooms were stylish and comfortable. Very clean. FYI, bathrooms are equipped with tubs with handheld shower heads. Take care if you have any issues getting in and out. Don’t know if they have a handicap room available. Ate in the rooftop Peacock restaurant twice! Incredible views! And delicious food. They also include a buffet breakfast downstairs each day that was the perfect start to a day of sightseeing and shopping. Stayed here before AND after our cruise!

We try to stay at the Hera on our visits to Athens, and are never disappointed. The room is quiet, a balcony with chairs is provided, the air conditioning is self-controlled and quiet, and breakfast is included. The staff is always professional and friendly. If you have any questions, they speak flawless English. You can't beat the location for the Acropolis Museum as it is a short block walk to the entrance, and there are tavernas nearby if you don't want to eat at the hotel restaurant. You are in a neighborhood area instead of touristy Plaka, so you will see locals at the tavernas, and many very good restaurants clustered together a short walk toward the Fix Metro. Breakfast is very good with something for everyone, and the breakfast room is charming. Our room was clean and comfortable with cool sheets and comfortable pillows. The bathroom is all black marble. A couple of things to note in the bathroom: the tub wall is really high, so if you have mobility issues, you should ask if they have rooms with walk-in showers. Also, something we noticed in many hotels on our tour of Greece this time, hotels are not necessarily providing bar soap. We used shower gel to wash our hands, and housekeeping could easily see that is what we were doing, but no bar soap appeared. The room provided plenty of storage for hanging clothes. We had an excellent stay and look forward to returning soon.

This is a hidden gem of a hotel! We initially selected it because of its proximity to the Acropolis, the new Acropolis museum (2 blocks), and the old town or Plaka for dining and shopping. We were not disappointed. We are older adults and can’t walk long distances. The location was perfect!! The restaurant on the top floor has a stunning view of the Acropolis and Parthenon as well as delicious and reasonably priced food! In the morning they serve a full and delicious breakfast downstairs. The real gem of this little hotel is Dimitri and the staff!!!! Unbelievably accommodating and kind!! They arranged our transfers through Welcome Pickups and arranged two private side tours for us. I just can’t say enough good things about this little hotel including a very fair nightly rate. The room was small but nice and marble bathroom with shower looked as if it had been recently renovated. The only caution I would give is that our room overlooked the street and was noisy late into the night. We were there the last 3 days of November, it was quite warm that week and the air conditioning had already been turned off so we opened the door to the balcony to get cool air in the night. We were so tired the noise didn’t bother us but if you have trouble sleeping if it’s noisy, you should request a quieter location.

So stayed in the Hera with two teenagers. It’s an older city centre hotel so the rooms are quite small but you aren’t going to get enormous rooms in the middle of a city. The kids beds were pushed together when we arrived so we just separated them as daughter didn’t want to sleep right next to her brother. Wasn’t a problem to sort out. The bathrooms are small and it’s a shower over a bath job. Husband 6ft 5 so always finds that arrangement slightly challenging but everywhere was clean and housekeeping seemed to come in like secret ninjas to make beds and change towels. The location is brilliant. Literally down the road from the Acropolis and the Acropolis museum and everything was very much on our doorstep. Great cafes further up the street too so no shortage of places to eat etc. breakfast was ok. Not the glorious spread that other reviews lead us to believe but that said, they had loads on offer and you can separately order some egg dishes to feed growing teenagers. The view from the rooftop was amazing. Literally my only complaint was that one of the female members of bar staff got our order wrong one night and then seemed to have a mini grudge against us for the remainder of our stay and trying to get served by her was more or less impossible. I will say this was only one member of staff and the rest were absolutely lovely

We were in Athens for 2 nights after a cruise, and chose the Hera because of its location and reviews. It did not disappoint! The hotel made arrangements for the 12 of us to be picked up from the port in 2 vans. Upon our early arrival, our luggage was stored while we went off for the day on a city tour. We checked into our well appointed rooms after our long day touring, and we’re happy to find that the A/C was in full gear and the view of the Acropolis from the balcony was lovely. The staff were very helpful and the rooftop restaurant was small but offered an outstanding view and wonderful menu. The breakfast was held in a room down stairs and was more than we could ask for. The hotel is located in a perfect location for touring, shopping and dining…all just a block or two away. The only con is the tub/shower- it is very high to climb into, especially for someone with short legs or physically challenged. We would definitely recommend the Hera.

This hotel is in a great location; just a couple minutes walk from the Acropolis museum, the Acropolis metro station and the Acropolis main entrance. Apart from the hotel's own roof garden restaurant (which offers a great view of the Acropolis especially at night), one is spoilt for choice from numerous restaurants along the street. The room was clean and comfortable; breakfast adequate and had a good choice. The only negative note we had was the view from our room; aircon compressors and shafts. Otherwise, a good value for money.

We recently stayed at this hotel after a cruise. It was a wonderful stay. The location could not be better - a block away from the Acropolis Museum and entrance. It was also close to the Plaka district. The front desk staff were excellent - all of them and I'm sorry I didn't get names. They gave us suggestions as to what to do, directed us to a pharmacy, printed our boarding passes, and arranged a box breakfast for our early flight. We used the car service option to pick us up from the cruise terminal and, a couple days later, take us to the airport for an early morning flight. Both drivers were extremely punctual and professional and it was a stress-free option that was reasonably priced and could be simply added to our hotel bill. The roof top bar/restaurant was wonderful as was the room's balcony with the view of the Acropolis. All in all, next time we travel to Athens we will definitely return to the Hera Hotel.

We were greeted by business only front seat people. No happy face. I booed single adult as when I booked it was same rate as 2 so didn’t wish to add info. Then they inform me I have to pay 30 per night for additional adult and then an extra 10 for the “free” breakfast! And with all that they gave me a room with twin beds! How romantic!
I then went and asked for a manager. They would get me one. I showed them how the rate was same for 1 and 2 adults and they just ignored me. And we’re very rude!
Room was small with disgusting alley view. Tub was high up and difficult to enter. Anyone of age couldn’t stay here.
The “free” breakfast was just ok.
I won’t come back to this place

We were enchanted as soon as we entered the elegant lobby of the Hera Hotel. Our room was ready early so we checked out our Junior Suite Acropolis View Room on the 5th floor while our bags were delivered. A complimentary bottle of wine bearing their rooftop Peacock restaurant label awaited us. We popped the cork enjoying a glass on our balcony as we took in the view.
The room was clean with a very comfortable bed and linens. The staff was helpful in making our reservations for visiting the acropolis and arranging our transfer to the airport in 2 days. Breakfast was included but our flight was early so they provided us with a nice breakfast bag to take to the airport.
The location of the hotel was convenient to many cafes and restaurants, just steps away from both the Acropolis Musuem and the southern entrance to the Acropolis and easy walking distance to Syntagma Square, the Ancient and Roman Agoras as well as the Botanical Gardens.
We loved the Peacock Restaurant. The food was so good we dined there both nights. Soup, appetizers, salad, entrees and dessert were outstanding. The appetizers, salad and dessert were easily large enough to split which we did.
