We stayed in this hotel during the week end of the Athens problems and you might as well have been in another City. This small hotel is tucked away in a little street situated in a great location for most of the attractions and restaurants. The staff are friendly and helpful, and although the rooms are on the small side... More

We only stayed here for a couple days, and the location cannot be beat. I wouldn't wait around for the breakfast though, it gets really crowded and really not worth it- feels like a college cafeteria. I'd rather go to one of the lovely cafes not far from here More

This is a great hotel and this is the 4th time we have stayed here. We had a quad room overlooking the Acropolis. This is a basic, neat and clean hotel which you can get at a very good price. Location is great, very close to the Acropolis. To get to the hotel catch the metro from the airport, change... More

Tiny rooms, spotlessly clean! Ask for a room with a balcony. More

This hotel is in a perfect location just beside the Acropolis and a short walk to Plaka the shopping area. Also only 5 minutes to the excellent metro system. The hotel is pretty basic but very clean and perfectly adequate. I was in room 602 which had a partial view of the Acropolis and a huge balcony, it had an... More

Reasonably nice room and balcony, good breakfast, but very stingy with the internet. A colleague and I there for a meeting over several days and we were supposed to get wifi included, but the staff were very reluctant to give us codes the evening of our arrival (they wanted us to pay extra but relented after some arguing, and pointing...

Fantastic location, the acropolis is so close! Much closer than I expected. Everything that you would want to see in central Athens is within easy walking distance. Spotlessly clean. I am not a fan of air conditioning so it was good to be able to open the doors to the small balcony. Staff could not have been better. They were... More

The Philippos is in an excellent location and offers a great value for travellers not looking to spend a fortune. The hotel is modern and comfortable, but falls a bit short on some key factors, especially for those accustomed to the size and ammenities of American hotels. The staff was very friendly, meeting us at the airport, and attending to... More
