Very Good

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!
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.
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.

Loved the location… old town plaka and lovely square on your doorstep. The welcoming staff George and Mary are brilliant . Super friendly and great at recommending sights and local restaurants. Great value… no frills hotel. Large rooms and added bonus of a rooftop deck with views of the acropolis.
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
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
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!
We stayed one night, they took care of our luggage while we explored the city. Good room, big, a little old, the bathroom needs to have some shelves / bigger counter to put your items or clothes. The bad thing is that there is no elevator so you need to go up the stairs carrying your luggage. Also, if you need any help finding something like transportation, there is no 24 hour front desk. Other than that it is in a great location, close to everything.

The hotel was nice, not great but nothing bad about it either. The area around the hotel leaves something to be desired. It is conveniently located, an easy walk from public transportation and to many shops and restaurants. The bed and bed linens were comfortable, but nothing to write home about. It's a good, inexpensive option!
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.

The photo attached to this review is VERY misleading. Kimon Hotel entrance is up the street from the corner shown in the picture, and does not look anything like what is seen in the photo.
The hotel is convenient for tourists wanting to walk to the main transport routes, and is close to many restaurants.
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
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.
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.
great location but the noise keeps you awake at ni
Location is top notch...Price for this is also good.
The issues I faced were the noise in the room at night of singers at restaurants, cars/trucks and people talking. the walls are quite thin and so sleeping can be tough. Also the church nearby dings every half hour
The bathrooms are also quite poor. the Shower is very small, no place to put anything.
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 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).
