"This is an attractive hotel a block south of the Acropolis, near the Herodes Atticus theater." Full review

"The Herodion scores most points for its common areas: the café-restaurant with conservatory seating shaded by wild pistachios... and the roof garden with two Jacuzzi tubs and eyefuls of the Acropolis."
Fodor's

"The Herodion has lovely common areas: the café-restaurant with patio seating shaded by wild pistachios, and the roof garden with two Jacuzzi tubs and the Acropolis a stone’s throw away."
Rough Guide
"This lovely four-star hotel – albeit not quite as luxurious as the exterior and lobby might lead you to believe – enjoys an enviable position right behind the Acropolis."

"The closest design hotel to the town centre, Fresh combines minimalist chic with shockingly vibrant colours, right down to the balcony partitions."
Rough Guide
"Glossy, high-end hotel in the heart of the market area. Lavish use of colour, elegant furnishings and great lighting and bathrooms, though you do wonder how long it will stay looking fresh."
Star Service
"Around the corner from Kotzia Square and the central food market hall, 300 meters from the Omonia metro station, this is one of the city's most notable recent arrivals." Full review
