"Attention to elegant detail—the lobby's marble floors, wood paneling, and leather sofas—reigns at this boutique hotel." Full review
"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."
"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
Upper-middle-range

"Cozy crash pad in the shadow of the Acropolis with a rooftop restaurant overlooking the Parthenon." Full review
