"The Philippos, sister hotel of the Herodion around the corner, is probably better for families as there are many quad rooms."

As with the Herodion, book online for best prices.

"Three-star sister hotel to the Herodion... the Philippos was completely renovated for the 2004 Olympics, though the interior is much less dramatic than the new facade."

"In a sedate residential neighborhood two blocks from its sibling...this family-run hotel is, like its relative, an inviting small operation in a surprisingly quiet and convenient location." Full review

"A value choice for travelers who want to be in the midst of everything -- it's a five-minute walk to the nightlife of Psirri, Monastiraki, and Plaka." Full review

A popular nightlife spot for non-hotel guests, it also also adds noise.
