Absolute little gem of a hotel. Right in the center of Plaka with restaurants and little shops right on our door step. Will definitely recommend and will return.

Great hotel in excellent location in Plaka near cathedral. Clean basic room perfectly adequate and great value with WiFi. Good cafe opposite. George was very welcoming and friendly and recommended a number of excellent restaurants, gave us a street map and looked after our bags after checkout. Would definitely return to Hotel Kimon

An excellent overnight stay in a central location following our Greek cruise. Easy walk to so many sights in Athens, and easy walk back to train station for airport - this ended up being particularly important, as our daughter was on crutches for our holiday! No lift in the building, however staff were very kind with arranging a first floor room for us when we arrived, early check-in, and brilliant communication in the lead up to our stay. Everything was perfect, beds were comfortable, and the balcony overlooking the lively street area such a fun bonus. Staff warm and friendly, and very helpful with directions on getting to key sights. Thank you.

Great location, good room, good A/C. Perfect hotel for us (Baby boomer retired couple).
5.0
What an excellent location. So close and walkable to all the main sites and great restaurants. The front desk staff is so helpful. Mary definitely went above and beyond for us. We (myself, husband and son) had room 303. What a fabulous room! It was on the top floor and opened up to a beautiful shared terrace that had a nice view of the acropolis. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The main room had a king size bed that was extremely comfortable and a small mounted TV. Another section had a large TV and a nice sized sofa. On the other side of the bedroom area, there was a small area that had a twin bed and the bathroom. The bathroom was more than adequate, but the shower area was very small. The hotel provided olive oil soap and shampoo. As others have mentioned, there is not an elevator on site and as we stayed on the third floor, we had many stairs to navigate….but it was worth it. It was so nice to have breakfast on the terrace and be able to see the acropolis. The terrace is much larger than what I thought it was based on photos I had seen. The hotel does have air-conditioning, but we were there in the middle of a heat wave and the room never really got very cool. However, we keep our air very low at home so that may just be something that was particular to us. We would definitely stay here again if we came back to Athens.

This hotel conveniently located to syntagma square where you can take the metro one stop to the acropolis.
Meat the Greek had excellent souvlaki and the wait staff Constos was great.
4.0
Great place for the price, staff is excellent, Marie was very helpful.
Location, Location, Location! For this price and this location and condition of hotel cannot be beat!
There is three floors and no elevator, so caution there, but otherwise I would definitely recommend and stay there again!
5.0
Great little spot close to everything (in an easy 12 min walk, you could have almost all the dining, shopping, Acropolis, and Metro station options you need). The room was clean and had all the amenities we needed (space is compact and functional). There was a great upper terrace for relaxing or catching an Acropolis view at night). Most notably, the staff was absolutely amazing! George (who worked most of the four days we were there) gave us a bunch of local food recommendations, was always right there with guidance, and went out of his way to assist with everything (from umbrellas to trains).

A hidden gem in the heart of Athens.
Will come again

This hotel is in a great location! It is within walking distance of all the sites in the city centre, such as the Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum, the Ancient Agora and Lycabettus Hill. Very close to some great restaurants too, as well as within walking distance of Syntagma Square, Monastiraki Square and Psirri Square. Our room was comfortable, the shower was great and the fridge in our room was a real plus point. All the staff were lovely and helpful and our room was cleaned to an excellent standard. I would not hesitate to stay at this hotel again.

Nice place close to all the action so-to-speak in Plaka. Rooms were up-to-date, clean, and maintained. Pleasant stay overall, no complaints.
2.5
Great location in Plaka but close to Monistiraki. Also just 5 mins walk from Syntagma square for parliament building (and airport bus). Best value hotel with friendly staff made this stay perfect.

We only had a short time in Athens but this hotel was perfect. The man at reception was so welcoming and helpful. (sorry I forget his name!) the location was perfect for a short stay so near to the acropolis and it was a lovely view from the terrace outside the room. Cute shopping and great restaurants within 10 minutes walk.
4.0
Superb location in the center of the action without breaking the bank. Not for people with disabilities: no elevator. Staff is very helpful. Rooms are small but comfortable. Our had an amazing balcony with view and seating area overlooking the cathedral of Athens.
5.0
It is located in the center of downtown Athens with easy access to Plaka and other neighborhoods with lots of shopping, restaurants, etc. The main orthodox cathedral is across the street. Coming here by train it is better to stop at Syntagma Square, to you go downhill to the hotel. and leaving, it is better to use Monastiraki Square (to keep going downhill). They do not have night staff but leave you a # to call in case of emergencies. We had no issues and this place was so close to so many attractions that cannot talk better about it.
4.0
Friendly, helpful staff.
Very walkable location close to Plaka and most ancient Athens sights.
Close to public transport.
Property is a little old and dated but in good condition and is kept clean.
The only downside is street noise late into the night. We like open windows but closing them and using the ac was the better choice.
I would stay here again.

We had a very nice stay in Athens. George greeted us and recommended a nice breakfast place across the street. We were within walking distance of the Acropolis and Plaka.

In a quiet location walking distance from a lot of restaurants and the acropolis. The view of the acropolis is not necessarily spectacular, but it is visible from the roof top patio. We were able to walk from the subway station to the hotel with our carry-on luggage

This hotel was in fabulous location. Easy walk to buses, shopping, restaurants, Acropolis & tons of sightseeing. Loved the outdoor terrace upstairs. The staff was nice.

George at the front desk is so welcoming and friendly. He gave me really good recommendations on how to get the most out of my stay in Athens. The rooms very cozy, very clean, with a nice balcony. Wifi was reliable and air conditioning was perfect. Location was amazing! Walking distance to everything, including metro. I would definitely stay here again!!
5.0
What a gorgeous place to stay, with an open terrace overlooking the Acropolis and in the heart of the shopping district. The family room is on the top floor and opens directly onto the terrace. The room was perfect for 4, clean and wonderful. This hotel offers a great experience, and the staff were very helpful. I highly recommend this hotel.
2.5
Nice hotel. We stayed on the third floor and that meant a lot of stairs. The staff was very helpful. The only criticism I have is that the description of the rooftop view of the acropolis was misleading. It is only a partial view. You cannot clearly see the parthenon from the terrace.

Well located and good value

Our stay was great! George, the front desk attendant was very helpful and friendly. We had a corner room so our balcony was on two sides. The city was very lively at night.
2.5
Very economic small, spotless room with inside view. It is OK for one or two nights if you are alone. The price is unbeatable for the location and the service.
2.5
Amazing family room with full view of the Acropolis and terrace area. Very central location and charming staff
5.0
Really lovely stay! Great room with a cute little balcony all to myself; freshly revamped bathroom with fantastic new shower (tiny, but it’s in an older European building, so it’s exactly what one should expect for size.) Beds were a bit a spare at first glimpse but actually quite comfy! There’s a gem of a terrace on the top floor that peeks at the Acropolis and the nearby cathedral; the location is perfect for being close to all a tourist needs. Despite the proximity to the life of the quarter, the heavy blackout curtains and room shutters made for a perfectly dark room when snoozing. Bring your earplugs if you’re a light sleeper! (Not a fault of the hotel-nearly anywhere in the Plaka, you’ll need them.) The staff was very kind and accommodating, so hospitable. Highly recommend! If I’m ever in Athens again, I’d definitely try to stay with them!
