The hotel for the last three nights on my recent trip to Athens, Greece was the Herodion hotel, near the Acropolis. It’s only a few hundred meters from the Acropolis metro station, and within walking distance from all of the major attractions in Athens, Greece. When entering the hotel, you’ll get a feeling of warmness and quaintness. I loved the lobby! Just past the lobby is their Atrium Bistro, which you can read about in another article.

After a smooth check in process, I headed up to the second floor to see my room! The room was moderately sized with a large sliding-glass window. The view looked out to the green area next to the hotel, as well as the Acropolis. The room was fairly standard and included a bathtub, instant coffee station and desk area. Clean and comfortable indeed!
What I would say sets the Herodion hotel apart from its competitors would have to be its rooftop and restaurant. Their bistro is located on the ground floor and it’s phenomenal. The food is fantastic with reasonable prices. The dining room is gorgeous and the service was excellent! If you’re staying at the hotel or just in Athens, you should definitely try the food, it’s worth a separate trip and you can read more in my in-depth review in a separate article.
The second amazing feature was the rooftop. On the rooftop, you can find multiple hot tubs and a superb view of the Acropolis. It looks great day or night and is completely unobstructed. I must mention that there is no gym or pool on this property.
The next morning at breakfast I was happy to see an assortment of Greek and international food items. Everything tasted quite nice and the staff were pleasant as well.
Overall, I truly enjoyed my stay at the Herodion hotel in Athens, Greece! The property has a great location which is a good starting point for exploring Athens. Some other notable points were the great service, tasty bistro food and large rooftop. On your next trip to Athens, don’t forget to pay a visit to the Herodion hotel for a stay or meal!
