Traveling solo, sightseeing & experiencing local food
Pros:

All of the staff including the booking staff have been amazing. The friends I planned to travel with had health issues & needed to cancel their booking, they were refunded 100%. For me travelling they have also been so helpful arranging tours & restaurant bookings. Great location, spotlessly clean with all facilities a traveller requires. I highly recommend The Philippos Hotel ,Athens

שקט במיקום מעולה בלב של ההתרחשות הקולינרית והארכיאולגית באתונה.
Pros:

ארוחת בוקר פשוט הונהדרת, קפה טוב,
צוות מקסים - כפי שזה בא לידי ביטוי החל מהצ'ק אין ודרך כל האינטראקציות למשל המלצה על מסעדות, הסבר לגבי התמצאות במקום וכדומה.
מרפסת מהממת עם נוף לאקרופוליס.
מרחק דקה ממזואון הארכיאולוגיה של האקרופולס, עוד דקה לארקופוליס ועוד דקה לאגורה. פשוט מדהים.

Cons:

החדר היה מאוד קטן - בעיקר השרותים מאוד קטנים

Il mio hotel preferito ad Atene in pieno centro
Pros:

Frequento il Philippos da anni, é sempre stato il mio hotel del cuore a Serifos…peccato che spesso sia full. Colazione ottima, personale super gentile soprattutto la signora del bar che mi prepara L’Espresso a colazione…già lo sa. L’arredamento nel parti comuni , nella hall è molto piacevole e confortevole.

Cons:

Questa volta ho avuto una stanza un po’ piccola, soprattutto il bagno era micro.

Parfait pour deux jours à Athènes car idéalement situé.
Pros:

Emplacement idéal au pied de l’acropole et au début de Plaka mais sans le bruit

Cons:

Pas grand chose si ce n’est le papier peint des chambres un peu vieillot

Lovely hotel in central city
Pros:

Fabulous hotel very close to Acropolis and Acropolis museum. Walking distance to many other shopping & tourist areas. Excellent staff who go out of their way to help with anything. My husband needed medical supplies on our last day and the hotel staff was so helpful with translations and arranging delivery. The breakfasts here are fresh, varied and unique. I especially loved the variety of vegetables, homemade pies, pastries and fruit every morning. The staff take great pride in the preparation and presentation. This hotel is in the older part of Athens, so room and bathroom size can be small. Closet space is very good and rooms include a mini fridge and a safe. Everything is very clean and well maintained. Bathrooms are modern. I definitely will return.

Pros:

Η τοποθεσία, η ταράτσα του ξενοδοχείου και το προσωπικό στη ρεσεψιόν.

Cons:

Το δωμάτιο ήτανε δίπλα ακριβώς στη ρεσεψιόν και στην κουζίνα και είχε πάρα πολύ θόρυβο, ειδικά στις 7 το πρωί όπου ετοιμάζανε τα πρωινά με αποτέλεσμα να μην μπορέσω να κοιμηθώ.

Phillipos Stay
Pros:

The location was prime with a terrace overlooking the Acropolis. The staff was incredibly nice and accommodating. The breakfast that was included was delicious 😋 and enough to hold you up for many hours. Their sister hotel which was around the corner had an awesome rooftop bar and restaurant where we meet Bill, the best bartender that we have met. He was more than a bartender, he is in artist and loves what he does.

Great central Athens hotel
Pros:

Philippos Hotel more than exceeded my expectations. It’s listed as a 3 star hotel and whilst the rooms and breakfast probably reflect this, the service level was definitely 5*. I have stayed recently in 5* star hotels in Athens and I can honestly say that the welcome and general service of the Philippos well exceeded that of the higher star hotels. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff and in fact they went out of their way to make every interaction such a pleasant one. The room itself was fine and no complaints. The main thing for me was that it was spotlessly clean, something that is really important to me. The location of the hotel is unbelievable, being literally 3 minutes walk to Acropolis station. Also, it is the same distance to the foot of the Acropolis with all the lovely sights and walks there. In future, I won’t waste my money at 5 star hotels, but instead stay at the Philippos. I highly recommend it.
