Fodor's Expert Review Herodion Hotel

A good compromise between the area's budget venues and deluxe digs, this hospitable hotel is down the street from the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, where Athens Festival performances are held in summer, and a few minutes from the Acropolis. Guest rooms are done in light-wood furnishings and muted olive-color, pale pink, or crème walls. The complimentary buffet breakfast is served in the ground-level restaurant. The adjacent light-filled atrium is home to a bar and coffee shop where fine antiques, Greek works of art, and cozy, pillowy chairs offer an intimate vibe. On the roof, there is a terrace with two Jacuzzis (extra charge) and a wonderful Parthenon panorama that you can enjoy while dining at the Point α bar-restaurant. Be sure to take full advantage of the hotel's location and ask for a room with an Acropolis view.
