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
