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

It’s worth paying extra for a suite.
Rough Guide "Right in the heart of Pláka, this luxurious hotel has excellent facilities, including indoor and rooftop pools, plus a gym and sauna."

Not all Superiors have balconies so be sure to request one in advance.

The Telegraph7.0
"This five-star hotel in Athens is a peaceful base for visiting the city’s top attractions — it’s a five-minute walk to Syntagma Square and 15 minutes to the Acropolis." Full review
U.S. News & World Report4.0
"For classic Greek decor, top-notch service and close proximity to many of central Athens' shops, restaurants and attractions, visitors recommend staying at the Electra Palace Athens." Full review

To avoid these issues, upgrade to a superior room or suite – which all have views of the Acropolis – on a higher floor.
