"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."

There are no suites or connecting rooms here, and the best rooms to request are those recently renovated or the panoramic Acropolis Double rooms with small scenic balconies.
