Great hotel in excellent location in Plaka
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

Excellent séjour
C'est notre 2e séjour à cet hôtel. Propreté dans la chambre et les espaces communs. Tellement bien située pour aller découvrir à pied plusieurs quartiers touristiques que nous allons y revenir sans hésiter. Egalement proche des arrêts de bus touristique et de très bons restaurants. Très bon choix qualité-prix. Bon service de navette port-hôtel. Du 3e étage, une vue sur l.Acropole, c'est relaxant à regarder en fin de soirée.

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.

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).

Fantastic location and very nice hotel
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.

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.

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.
