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.

Frommer's "This hotel is popular with Greeks, who prefer its modern conveniences to the old-fashioned charms of most other hotels in the area." Full review

"In an excellent location for sightseeing... the rooftop lounge is the highlight of the hotel with its comfortable seating and stunning views of the Acropolis." Full review

"Perfect for visitors to Athens who want to do the sights without any fuss, Plaka offers comfortable, modern rooms and an open-air rooftop bar, close to the Acropolis." Full review
EuroCheapo "The three-star Hotel Plaka is not a flashy place. First and foremost, it's a capable hotel located at the edge of Plaka, bordering Monastiraki.
Room furnishings are comfortable if plain." Full review
Frommer's "Great location, inspiring Acropolis view from rooftop café, and perfectly decent...balcony rooms on the fifth and sixth floors have fine views over the Plaka, while some have Acropolis views." Full review
Lonely Planet "It’s hard to beat the Acropolis views from the rooftop garden at this refurbished hotel, which you also enjoy from the top-floor rooms." Full review
