Michelin Guide "Friendly hotel in small street... Spacious, comfy bedrooms."
Frommer's "The Achilleas (Achilles), on a relatively quiet side street near Syntagma Square, has good-size guest rooms that are bright and cheerful." Full review
Fodor's "This hotel options combines modern amenities with the friendly, personal service that comes from being family-run—and a price at the lower end of its category." Full review
Lonely Planet "This conveniently located business-style hotel has a sleek lobby with marble checkerboard floors and well-appointed rooms, some of which open onto garden balconies." Full review
OysterMid-Range
"Spacious, homey rooms at the hotel, though the bathrooms in some only have handheld shower heads... the hotel does serve an American breakfast buffet included." Full review
EuroCheapo "The three-star Achilleas provides mid-range beds in a comfortable, beyond adequate setting, just a short distance from Plaka's heavy action." Full review
Frommer's "The Achilleas (Achilles), a few short blocks off Syntagma, is a moderately priced, family-owned and -operated small hotel in a reasonably quiet place" Full review

Frommer's "The elegant Peacock Lounge has become one of the most popular bar/restaurants in the city -- especially a little after sunset for its breathtaking views." Full review
Fodor's "Attention to elegant detail—the lobby's marble floors, wood paneling, and leather sofas—reigns at this boutique hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Refurbished as a boutique hotel, the Hera’s rooms are on the small side but lack for nothing; it’s worth paying extra for fifth floor suites with bigger balconies."
Star Service "This exemplary small hotel has an elegant traditional spark and standout service that make it one of the more attractive small hotels here." Full review
OysterUpper-middle-range
"An upper-mid-range boutique hotel located on the edge of the Plaka neighborhood... the main draw here is Peacock, the rooftop restaurant offering great views of the Acropolis." Full review
Jetsetter "Cozy crash pad in the shadow of the Acropolis with a rooftop restaurant overlooking the Parthenon." Full review
EuroCheapo "We consider Hera splurge-worthy for its relative affordability, its great location, and its inviting high-end atmosphere." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"This elegant boutique hotel, a short walk from the Acropolis and Plaka, was totally rebuilt but the formal interior design is in keeping with the lovely neoclassical facade." Full review
