Frommer's "This is an attractive hotel a block south of the Acropolis, near the Herodes Atticus theater." Full review
Insight Guides "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 "A good compromise between the area's budget venues and deluxe digs, this hospitable hotel is down the street from the Odeon of Herodes Atticus." Full review

Ask for a room with a balcony overlooking Syntagma Square, the Parliament building, and the Acropolis.
Insight Guides "Perhaps the most famous hotel in Athens, oozing history and class, the Grande Bretagne on Sýndagma Square dates from 1846."
Concierge "While some might argue for the Parthenon, more modern types agree that the most enduring luxury address in Athens is this 321-room hotel on Syntagma Square."
Fodor's "The landmark Grande Bretagne remains the most exclusive hotel in Athens... you may very well think it is the very best." Full review
