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...

American style hotel with very good facilities but rather bland if you enjoy local character. Chosen because of location. Strike day we arrived but no problem getting taxi. No trouble or demonstrators encountered in tourist area.Breakfast european style with the best yoghurt in 6 hotels on 4 week trip. Excellent bedroom with view of the Acropolis. Other with balcony for... More

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

Arrived at bus station to find strike on, caught Taxi to hotel and could not believe how cheap it was. Great reception in English and we tried out our Greek and they understood! Lovely room with a view of the Acropolis, great buffet breakfast and then just up the road to the Acropolis, Piaka district (nice cheap food) and the... 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

We stayed at the Herodion (a sister hotel) on our first trip eleven years ago, and it is more upscale than the Phillippos, but also cost more. As you are probably there to visit the Acropolis and the new museum, this is a great location. The staff was friendly and helpful (especially the night clerk!). Yes the rooms are small,... More
