We arrived a few hours early and was allowed to check in as our room was ready. We have stayed here before and know the area well. The room was clean and had a very large balcony to sit and relax. Because we requested a balcony we were given a smaller room than before so we had a hard time with our luggage. Lucky for us we spent little time in the room. The bedding was nice and comfortable. The breakfast is ok, could use more variety. All the staff were pleasant and very helpful. The area is within a 10 minute walk to the Acropolis and Palaka where there’s plenty of cafes and shopping. All in all I highly recommend the Philippos hotel.
The staff was super friendly and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. Small roof top area with view of Acropolis. Sister hotel (Herodion) a block away had an amazing roof top restaurant and bar with view of Acropolis and was amazing. All the sites were close and walkable and area was relatively quiet. Breakfast had plenty of options (could have used some warm eggs).
Very impressive. Staff were very friendly and very helpful.
Incredible location. Less than a 10 minute walk from the Acropolis.
Big spacious room with fantastic aircon!
Hotel was perfectly clean and tidy and the breakfast was nice with a good range of options.
Would stay here again no question.
For what we required being central to Museum/Ajropolois/Monstiraki/Ermou served purpose very well.
Only comment when checked in was asked for an additional 5Euro as a staff service charge - paid in cash...Amount was insignificant but not sure whether was a requirement or just an amount pocketed by the receptionist. Overall if want something basic, clean, for a limited period - very small living area - quite good
The best thing about the hotel is the location. Staff were super helpful . Thank you Elias. Other than that the hotel is just meh. Nothing stands out either way.

This is your basic kind of hotel. The rooms are extremely small and the restrooms even smaller. The showers aren’t even big enough for one person. Our restroom has a potent sewage smell the 2 nights we were there. One positive was the comfort of the bed and the pillows. Having to overcome the musty, sewage smell, I did sleep very comfortably. The staff was excellent. Breakfast was good. Acropolis Museum and other attractions are within walking distance. Laundromat also very close. Overall, it was an alright experience. Nothing terrible about it, just a little older anda lot smaller than some others in the area.

The Staff was really nice! the hotel needs some updates…AC didn’t work well, room smelled, bathtub and shower too small. Rooftop has a great view and it was empty
EFI, Stamatis, and all the front desk staff were great. Lady in charge of complimentary breakfast was wonderful. Property is conveniently located.
Very close (5-10 minute walk) to Acropolis and to Acroplois museum and subway. Great location to tour this part of Athens on foot.
