About
Kimon Hotel Athens
Kimon Hotel Athens is a 1-star property set on Apollonos Street, right in Plaka – the old quarter known for its narrow cobblestone lanes, souvenir shops, and family-run eateries. The hotel is roughly 950 metres from the Eridanos stream and a short walk from major sights like the Acropolis and Monastiraki Square.
The hotel keeps things simple: a Comfort Double Room with a double bed, air conditioning, flat-screen TV, and a safe. Guests can use the sun terrace, arrange tours or car hire, and take advantage of the express check-in/out. Note that there is no lift, so expect a climb to the upper floors.

8.2Verified guest“Great for a single night – the bed was exceptionally comfortable and the room came with a fridge, air conditioning, and a personal safe. Paid £29 and the location was unbeatable, just off Plaka and Ermou Street with plenty of restaurants and the historic centre close by.”

8.2Verified guest“The shower was superb and the decor lovely. Everything was very clean, and Alex was extremely helpful. It was close to all the attractions of Plaka.”
8.2Verified guest“I booked at a special price – much lower than the door rate – and for what I paid it was a great surprise. The room was spacious and clean, the bathroom had towels, slippers, shampoo, and soap, and all three receptionists I met over two days were helpful. The first-floor corner room was perfect for relaxing before heading out.”
8.2Verified guest“Very comfortable. They offer breakfast at a fair price.”
