EuroCheapo review print this page

We'll be the first to admit that Hotel Hera isn't an orthodox Cheapo pick. A crisp, elegant hotel in Makrygianni, just a short walk from the Acropolis, Hera's least expensive double room sits just above our Athens price range.

That acknowledged, we consider Hera splurge-worthy for its relative affordability, its great location, and its inviting high-end atmosphere. Hotels like Hera are so often accompanied by wallet-destroying rates; happily, Hera's doubles are priced between €130 and €150.

Did we say high-end atmosphere? Yes, we did. Hera's elegant entryway is dripping in marble and darkwood paneling. Rooms are dressed in neutral tones, with cushioned headboards, swank overstuffed chairs that invite a swivel, fluffy pillows, and quilted duvets. The overall feel is luxurious though never hedonistic. Some rooms veer ever so slightly into overdone territory, though most are on the more restrained, modern side.

Business people are an obvious demographic at the Hera, which has a sizeable conference room on offer and free parking facilities, but couples and families on vacation comprise a sizeable share of the Hera's guests as well. The location is ideal (about a seven minute walk to the entrance of the Acropolis) and yet insulated from busy Syngrou Avenue, just one block away.

About the Hotel Hera neighborhood

Quiet Koukaki, to the south of Filopappou Hill, is a residential neighborhood of quiet hillside avenues. Leafy pedestrian street Drakou, lined with restaurants, cafés, internet cafés, and gelaterias, forms the core of Koukaki. Syngrou-Fix is the metro station closest to Koukaki. Makriyianni, adjacent to Koukaki, is right at the foot of the Acropolis. It’s a more touristy area than Koukaki, with streets of shops bulging with tschochkes and restaurants groaning with tourists. Despite this, pedestrian street Dionysiou Areopagitou is pretty charming in places. Akropoli is the metro station closest to Makriyianni.
