About
Herodion Hotel
Herodion Hotel sits on Rovertou Galli Street in Athens, a quiet lane just off the main tourist circuit. The Acropolis Museum and the Acropolis metro station are around the corner, and the Plaka neighborhood's shops and restaurants are within easy walking distance. Guests rate the location an 8.8—among the highest of its categories—and note the area stays peaceful despite the proximity to major sights.
The hotel's standout feature is its rooftop terrace, where two jacuzzis (available for a small charge) and outdoor seating frame an unobstructed view of the illuminated Parthenon at night. Rooms are soundproofed and allergy-free, with air conditioning, tea and coffee facilities, and flat-screen TVs. Breakfast is served in the on-site restaurant, offering a traditional Greek spread alongside the Acropolis view.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths

- Prime location for sightseeing — A short walk to the Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum, and the metro, with Plaka's shops and dining nearby—all while staying in a quiet area.
- Attentive and friendly staff — Many guests praise the reception and service teams for being knowledgeable, polite, and eager to help, contributing to a smooth stay.

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Jacuzzis come at an extra cost — The rooftop jacuzzis are not complimentary—guests mention a small charge of 5 euros to use them, which may come as a surprise.
- Acropolis-view rooms may be worth the upgrade — Some guests without a view room recommend booking one with Acropolis views for the full experience; standard rooms lack the signature panorama.
- Pets not allowed — The hotel is not pet-friendly, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 23:59, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals or early flights.
