Hera Hotel

just a great hotel

Our Junior suite was ready for us early when we checked in. The view from the balcony was absolutely fantastic. This hotel is situated within just a few minutes walk from the entrance to the Acropolis, it is also in a perfect spot for lots of different restaurants and bars. The room was nicely decorated and all members of staff were very polite and friendly. We ate in the restaurant 1 night and the food and wine were very good. Would highly recommend this hotel for a visit to Athens but make sure that you get one of the high rooms at the front.

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.

Great location next to the acropolis! A nice spread for breakfast served in a beautiful room!

If you are gong to Athens you most likely want to see the Parthenon and Acropolis. If you are fortunate enough to be able to stay a few days the best view and most comfortable lodging is at the Hera Hotel. My beautiful bride and I got to spend two stays at Hera this month. Our room had the perfect balcony view of the Parthenon and it was such a charming place to stay. We stayed in room 501 and 502, a Junior Suite. The rooftop restaurant was fantastic, the morning buffet breakfast was plentiful and varied. And the staff, the staff was friendly and helpful. They arranged transfers from the Athens Airport (twice) and the transfers to and from our cruise ship. Centrally located to the tourist area, the Acropolis itself, the museum as well as the delightful old town Placa were just minutes away by foot. The highest recommendation goes to Hera Hotel in Athens.

Charming elegance. Our rooms were lovely. Our balconies were so spacious and looked out directly on the Acropolis, and other monuments were visible as well. The hotel is within walking distance of the Acropolis. The staff was open and friendly and always ready to help. We planned to visit the Acropolis, of course, and the manager gave us extensive advice on how to enter (there isn't just one way and the two are very different!) and what to see. The top floor restaurant is first class! Excellent food with unique dishes. Perfect service. I can't say enough good things about this hotel. Okay, one bad thing. The elevator is reeeeaaally slow.

This hotel exceeded all of our expectation. The staff were fantastic, the location was fantastic and the eating options both in the hotel and nearby were delicious. I would recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Athens.
