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.

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.

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.

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

Wifi was reliable and air conditioning was perfect. Location was amazing! Walking distance to everything, including metro. I would definitely stay here again!!

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.

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.

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!

Beautiful little hotel in a convenient location in Athens! Close to metro and main attractions as well as restaurants and supermarket. We arrived early and because we had let them know in advance, one of our rooms was ready early for us! No breakfast included, but we had an early departure, so it wasn’t an issue.

Excellent stay
This was my oasis after a long trip from Canada. It was sparkling clean. The bed was super comfortable. I had a little balcony and there was a rooftop patio with acropolis views! Was central to everything I could hope for yet quiet street. Only down side was the stairs up to my room numbering 45. But beautiful clean white marble circular stair made it a pleasure. Safely was never a worry as Kimon is very secure. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a no frills, quiet place in the center of it all.

The hotel was right at the Plaka and only a 15 min walk to the entrance of the Acropolis. We had arranged for a taxi to pick us up at 4 am, we were quoted a price of 55 euros to the airport. The front desk gentleman helped arrange it and asked if we wanted to pay cash or charge to my credit card on file so we said cc. His English was excellent so were confident with the arrangement. The taxi cab arrived on time but then said we owed 61.50 euros. He didn’t speak any English and our Greek was minimal unfortunately. We were under the impression that the hotel paid already, plus the total quoted was only 55. We did end up paying the cab and contacted hotel. They said Gas surcharge was just implemented that day, but clearly hotel front desk has zero clue. So beware that if you stay here that the hotel does NOT pre/pay taxi and get it writing what the you’re quoted for rate prior to departure.

I had an economy room that was very efficient. It was very cozy, and the bed was great! Small surprises like the cordial and sweet bites found at the end of the day on my desk were extra special treats. I really appreciate the location, at the foot of the Plaka and in the middle of everything else.

Just what we needed.
This hostel had absolutely everything we needed for a one night stay. We arrived before check in and our room was ready, which we really appreciated after our long flight from Australia. It was in the heart of Athens and eveything was in walking distance including the Acropolis. The bed was super comfy and we would definately stay again.

Unpleasant
No elevator. Policy of no visitors, which is horrible, given that we do pay for our stay and should have visitors as we like as long as they are behaving and as long as they don’t sleep over. Imagine somebody on a business trip but cannot meet anybody at his hotel room. The hotel has no lobby at all. I don’t know if you consider 2 old chairs next to the main entrance as a lobby! Rooms are not cleaned or arranged every day. We stayed 7 nights, and the room was not cleaned or arranged at least 3 days (I mean 3 times, which also included no clean towels either for those 3 days. One of the front desk lied about asking one of our visitor for IID and information as that was the occasion we found out that no visitors are allowed. The visitor wanted to actually confront and rebuke the front desk person when we informed him about what the front desk said. The remaining front desk personnel were friendly, but the hotel policies were unacceptable. Location is good, but I would never stay at this hotel again.
