Will be in Athens for 4 nights, early October 2025. Have narrowed hotel decision down to between Hermes or Psiri. Reviews for both are very similar, both here on RS and other sites as well. Though the comments on location of Psiri seem a bit off putting. Photos of both look good, but just judging by those I give the edge to Hermes. As I said though, never been to Athens so wanted to pop in here and check with some experienced Athens travelers. Thank you in advance!

Although the two cannot, in my opinion, be compared the difference is very minimal from a geographical and tourist perspective.
The Hermes Hotel is a little better located for visiting the Acropolis than the Psyri Hotel but probably more expensive.
If price is a factor, the Psyri may still be suitable anyway. You'll be right next to the Municipal Market and closer to the National Archaeological Museum than from the Hermes.
