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

Be sure to take full advantage of the hotel's location and ask for a room with an Acropolis view.
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"This smart four-star hotel is geared towards the well-heeled traveller and businessperson." Full review
DK Eyewitness "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."
Star Service "Sitting just above the excellent Athens Gate, consistent maintenance and strong service standards keep this modest hotel moving toward the top of its league." Full review

Those who want the view will do best to request Rooms 411, 412, 414 or 415.

Fodor's "Just around the corner from its sister hotel, the Herodion, the Philippos shares its good qualities: a quiet location convenient to the Acropolis and friendly, efficient service." Full review
Lonely Planet "Philippos offers small, well-appointed rooms near the Acropolis." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The Philippos, sister hotel of the Herodion around the corner, is probably better for families as there are many quad rooms."

As with the Herodion, book online for best prices.
Rough Guide "Three-star sister hotel to the Herodion... the Philippos was completely renovated for the 2004 Olympics, though the interior is much less dramatic than the new facade."
Star Service "In a sedate residential neighborhood two blocks from its sibling...this family-run hotel is, like its relative, an inviting small operation in a surprisingly quiet and convenient location." Full review

The word is out on this one, so book early and request discounts.
