The following reviews for the Airotel Parthenon Hotel are taken from the popular internet travel site http://www.tripadvisor.com/.

Hotel Rate  “Would Go Back!” : We had a good experience at the Airotel Parthenon. We traveled during the uncrowded off-season and found the locaiton, condition of the hotel, and friendliness of the staff an added bonus. The hotel is right in the Plaka, and for what we wanted to see during our three day stay it was just what we needed.     (Parthenon hotel visitor from Cambridge, England)
Hotel Rate  “Great Hotel” : A lovely hotel. Although it doesn't look much from the narrow front street, once you get into the foyer you will see that it's a lovely hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful and it's location in Plaka at the base of the Acropolis hill could not be better.     (Parthenon hotel visitor from Hartlepool, England)
Hotel Rate  “Location, location, location” : What a perfectly located hotel for Athens!! It is only steps away from the beginning of the Antiquities Promenade, allowing you to walk the entire stretch from the Temple of Zeus to the Ancient Agora. It is also only half a block from the Acropolis Metro station, so it is very easy to reach any other area of Athens.     (Parthenon hotel visitor from California, US)
Hotel Rate  “Twice as good” : The Hotel Parthenon is one of the best places I have stayed. I have been lucky enough to travel every year over the past four. This year I was away for 13 weeks. My first ever visit to Athens & I was lucky enough to have book the Airotel Parthenon. I had such a great experience that on my second visit back to Athens within this same trip I had no hesitations to rebook.     (Parthenon hotel visitor from Melbourne, Australia)
