About
Hera Hotel
Hera Hotel sits on Falirou Street in Athens, a quiet lane that still puts you within a 7-minute walk of the Acropolis and a short stroll of Plaka and the Acropolis Museum. The boutique property occupies a classic building, well preserved, with a polished interior and an inviting rooftop bar and restaurant that frames the Parthenon at dinner.
Guests consistently point to the location as the standout – central enough for sightseeing, yet peaceful and relatively undisturbed by traffic. Rooms are soundproofed and air-conditioned, with some offering balconies for a direct view of the Acropolis. Breakfast runs until 11am, and the staff are repeatedly praised for being helpful and smiling.

In brief
What works, what to weigh

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms can disappoint on view — While some rooms have Acropolis-view balconies, others – like room 305 – have no view at all. Book a view category if that matters to you.
- Restaurant prices above local average — The rooftop restaurant is a good option, but it's a bit expensive compared to other eateries in Athens.
- Breakfast variety is limited — The breakfast spread is adequate but not extensive – though it runs until 11am and the rice pudding comes recommended.

8.5Verified guest“The location was fantastic, right next to the Acropolis and surrounded by lively cafés. The room was spacious and well-kept. I particularly loved the amazing view of the Acropolis each morning during breakfast – a real highlight.”
8.5Verified guest“It's a classic building, the rooms are well-appointed and beautifully decorated, with an Acropolis view from the balcony.”
8.5Verified guest“Very helpful and patient staff on site. Private parking on site was provided.”
8.5Verified guest“Boutique hotel, functional and elegant. I stayed on the third floor, room 305; leaving aside the view, which was the worst part, the room had everything for a very pleasant stay and suited our purpose of visiting Athens. The double bed was quite large, there was a very spacious wardrobe and a normal bathroom with a bath and a screen. Cleanliness was notable, and they provided several gels, creams, shampoos, and even slippers for the room and shower. The hotel is not new, but you wouldn't notice any deterioration – it's well preserved. Breakfast was not very varied but had more than enough to start the day well. We highly recommend their rice pudding. The service was kind and always willing to help, and the location was key – quiet area, steps from the Acropolis and Plaka, 10 minutes from Syntagma Square. The restaurant is a bit expensive by Athens standards, but it's a great option if you arrive at night because the Parthenon views are worth it. We found the food and service quality to be great.”
8.5Verified guest“We've stayed here twice now, both times for a one-night stop on our way home. This time they upgraded us to a room with a large balcony and Acropolis view. The best thing is undoubtedly its proximity to the Acropolis and Plaka. Secondly, the rooftop bar and restaurant. It's also reasonably undisturbed by traffic. The staff have been very helpful with small arrangements both times.”
8.5Verified guest“The venue is cute and small, fairly clean, and the location is magnificent and ideal – close to the Acropolis, the metro, the Acropolis Museum, and several restaurants. The staff are extremely friendly and lovely, always smiling, and they offer very efficient services.”
