Kimon Hotel Athens

What a beautiful small hotel with character, great staff, and a rooftop view of the Acropolis - the stairs with luggage are a workout, but this is Athens and one must climb hills

Check in was slightly confusing, we had to press a button to alert the staff to open the door to let us in, this did not cause any problems though. The room was nice and the bed was okay. The best thing about the hotel though is how close it is to everything! and i mean everything! it is such a convenient location to stay at when it comes to tourism. The roof top seating was also quite enjoyable for a midday lunch, thank you Kimon Hotel

Overall night property and beautiful room. Had to climb stairs to 2nd floor

This is an older hotel. Although the size of the room was more than sufficient, the bathroom was a bit small. However, the room has a fridge and ample closet/storage space. And, the hotel is centrally located (10 minutes walk) near Syntagma Square. The hotel is close to numerous restaurants, bars, shopping, the subway, etc. Even though the hotel does not have an elevator, I would stay here again, especially considering that the price is much less that other hotels in the area.

This place was in great location and I felt completely safe there as a solo female traveler. The room was comfy and clean. The staff was great, so friendly. The only thing that was hard was the 2.5 flight of stairs to my room with my luggage was a bit rough for me but I did it. LOL Just beware if you have trouble with stairs. Otherwise it was a nice stay. The hallways were rundown but I thought my room was quite nice.

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.

I recently stayed at Kimon Hotel in Athens and wanted to share a few important points for fellow travelers. First, there is no elevator in the building. We were placed on the third floor, and getting there required climbing steep stairs and walking across a rooftop patio — not ideal when carrying large suitcases. The room was a bit dated, but it was spacious and reasonably priced. That said, there was an ant infestation in the bathroom. The ants got into our toiletry items, which was unpleasant. I wish I had taken a photo to document it, but it was definitely a problem. One of the more surprising aspects of the stay was the absence of a 24/7 front desk or concierge. It felt more like an Airbnb setup than a proper hotel. On top of that, we didn’t receive any room cleaning or housekeeping during our three-night stay. Unless you place a "Do Not Disturb" sign, the assumption should be that rooms will be cleaned daily — that didn’t happen, and no one followed up. While the location is central and the price was fair, the overall experience left a lot to be desired. Between the accessibility challenges, lack of basic hotel services, cleanliness concerns, and limited staff presence, I would likely not stay at Kimon Hotel again.

Fabulous location for such a reasonable price with genuine rooftop patio view of the Acropolis. At least a dozen good restaurant options within a 5-minute walk . I was allowed to check in early and the desk clerk also helped me book a taxi to the airport during the transportation strike — this was no easy feat! I highly recommend Kimon hotel!

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.

Muy increíble vista tal como lo promete, el unico con es que no tiene elevador, pero lo vale y la ubicación es excelente

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.

Great staff, great location. Hotel is basic but value for price. One note is that carpeting on stairs should be cleaned or replaced.

Hôtel super bien placé, confortable et très propre. Facilité d'échanges et de communication avant l'arrivée et pendant le séjour. Gentillesse et accueil de George.

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.

Chambre propre, emplacement bien situé et personnel très courtois et donnant de bons conseils.

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

Väldigt rent och fräscha rum. Prisvärt hotell som ligger mitt i centrum! Rekommenderar varmt!

Oda 4 gece boyunca temizlenmedi veya toparlanmadı. 4. Gün ufak bir ziyaret olmuş. Çöp kovası temizliği gibi

La habitación está correcta. El baño podría ser más grande y lo que es absolutamente deplorable es la cama. El colchón es finísimo y se podían notar todas y cada una de las lamas. El personal correcto y la limpieza también.

Leider waren die Betten sehr unbequem. Man lag in einem „Loch“. Das Bad ist sehr klein und es richtig leicht. Das Personal sehr nett. Die Lage top.

Great location, good room, good A/C. Perfect hotel for us (Baby boomer retired couple).

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.

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!!

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.

UNIQUE! the family room has a whole cute terrace and an amazing view. loved the bed

George at the desk here was truly amazing. Went out of the way to accommodate us and help us do our boarding passes. Highly this a hotel to anyone. Great location close to the Plaka.

Hôtel super bien placé, confortable et très propre. Facilité d'échanges et de communication avant l'arrivée et pendant le séjour. Gentillesse et accueil de George.

Chambre propre, emplacement bien situé et personnel très courtois et donnant de bons conseils.

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 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!

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.

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).

Fabulous location for such a reasonable price with genuine rooftop patio view of the Acropolis. At least a dozen good restaurant options within a 5-minute walk . I was allowed to check in early and the desk clerk also helped me book a taxi to the airport during the transportation strike — this was no easy feat! I highly recommend Kimon hotel!

Very friendly staff and best location!

Located in the heart of old Athens and Plaka; close to Acropolis

Bra budgethotell med bästa läge, nära turiststråken. Sköna sängar. Fin utsikt från terassen.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wonderful boutique hotel in the heart of Plaka. So walkable to all of the historical sites and very cute streets to wander around.
