Hermes Hotel was amazing! The staff was super helpful. The property was very clean. The room was lovely, and I even had my own balcony! The complimentary breakfast was lovely. Everything about the place is great. It is located very close to many of the main attractions of old city Athens. Aspro Alogo is a lovely restaurant just down the street. Lycabettus hill is merely a stroll away. There is no reason not to stay here!
