"Bright, comfortable guest rooms—some of them recently renovated—have cheery yellow paintings and relaxing earthly hues."

About a dozen rooms look toward the Acropolis: ask for Rooms 401–405 for the best views.
Lonely Planet
"This sleek modernised hotel offers an attractive combination of contemporary style and an old-fashioned welcome. ... The rooms are attractive, with big comfortable beds."

The only issue is traffic noise from busy Syngrou; you're better off as high as possible, and on the front (Falirou St) side of the hotel if you're a light sleeper.
Star Service
"In an excellent central location, walking distance to the Acropolis (10 minutes on foot) and a variety of good cafes and bustling but pleasant shopping streets, this is an older staple with a new look."

"Rooms are compact and basic in style, but comfortable and modern enough for tourists looking for a pleasant place to sleep... many have private balconies."

"Just around the corner from its sister hotel, the Herodion, the Philippos shares its good qualities: a quiet location convenient to the Acropolis and friendly, efficient service."

"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.
Rough Guide
"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."
Star Service
"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."

The word is out on this one, so book early and request discounts.
