I thought the breakfast was luscious, the best hotel breakfast on a nearly monthlong trip in Spain and Greece. Because my stay at the Central Hotel was the last two days of a rigorous and exhausting trip, I had requested a quiet room and got one: cool, tranquil and with a balcony. I slept like a baby and got the rest I needed before flying back to the US. I liked the clean, soothing design lines, pretty much everything about the hotel.

I noticed a shelf of books in the lobby, some focused on Greece, some novels and non-fiction donated, I’m guessing, by previous guests. I think books add to the appeal of a hotel. I contributed one in Spanish by a favorite Cuban author. It might be a nice tradition to begin.

We mostly like everything about the hotel especially the staff, they re very kind.

This is not our first time there but this time was a bit disappointing. For the first time we stayed on the 6th floor just under thea terrace on 7th and we couldnt sleep for 2 nights because of their pulling and pushing tables and chairs. Despite paying more for a deluxe room, our previous stays in lower floor rooms were better. 2nd night I called the reception 3 times between 11.30pm - 02.00am but nothing changed so we slept around 03.00am and woke up at 07.00am with their disturbing noices again. So a stay full of sleeplees nights... if we ever go back, im never staying on 6th floor again.

The hotel is in a great location in Plaka. The room was well suited for two people with two chairs, two beds, desk, coffee/tea, refrigerator, hair dryer, three outlets, multiple lighting elements that you could turn on/off individually, nice shower with tub with full curtain, air conditioning. We stayed in a two twin bed room. My daughter and I loved the flexibility to explore the neighborhood and easily travel on the Metro. There are many great restaurants nearby, and we also enjoyed the view and service at the rooftop restaurant in the hotel.

My girlfriend and I stayed at Central Hotel for one night on May 19 before an early international flight, and it was a great choice for a quick stop in Athens. Check-in was smooth and efficient, and we were pleasantly surprised by how clean and quiet the hotel was despite its central location. We booked a double room with an amazing view of the Acropolis, which was a real highlight—especially at night! The room itself was spotless, the bed linens were soft and comfortable, and the air conditioning worked perfectly, which was much appreciated after a warm day of travel. Though we didn’t get to try the breakfast buffet due to our early departure, the front desk kindly provided a basic breakfast bag. I imagine the full breakfast would have been excellent. We did manage to enjoy a drink at the rooftop bar, which offers a beautiful view and a relaxing vibe. I had the Thera Terrace Experience cocktail, which was refreshing. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the Acropolis and surrounded by great restaurants. We had a lovely dinner at Diodos Restaurant, which I’d highly recommend. The area felt very safe and walkable.

One thing to note: the elevator is extremely small, so be prepared if you have large luggage or mobility concerns. the service at the rooftop Bar could have been more attentive—I had to go inside to ask for the bill as the staff were busy chatting.

A hotel with an excellent location, right in the city center. Everything is within walking distance. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Friendly service. The hotel has adjacent parking for a fee, which was convenient for us as we arrived from the islands with a car and wanted one more night in Athens before leaving Greece. The parking includes space for several cars on a first-come, first-served basis. We are not aware of the options if the parking is full. On the hotel's rooftop, there is a restaurant with a stunning view of the city. Highly recommended in the evening

The rooms are a bit small, but it didn't bother us since we came to explore the city and only sleep at the hotel. The value for the price is very fair. The bathroom door does not close tightly. As a result, odors escape from the bathroom into the room. It is recommended to replace it with a door that fully closes.

Exceptional friendly staff, very good food (Rooftop Restaurant) and breakfast bar, very quiet room, very cosy and big beds, it felt like home from the first minute. There is also some awareness of environmental issues, such as the "use again towel" or "my room needs no cleaning today" option. The hotel is situated on a small side street near Syntagma Square, in Plaka, near many tourist sites. The view from the Rooftop Restaurant/Bar at the Acropolis is fantastic and at night spellbinding.

The shower tray had seen some slightly better times, and I didn´t like the shower curtain. Otherwise, everything was clean and welcoming.

Very good location. WONDERFUL staff!!! Great rooftop bar/restaurant. Smallish rooms, but with an amazing view, and again, great staff!

Nothing that can be done about this - but I suggest you bring ear plugs. The rooms are not very soundproofed. Listened to an unhappy child and endlessly yakking mother next door on one side one night, tv on the other, chairs scraped across the floor above. Weekdays, be prepared for the very excited school kids down below if you have a room with an Acropolis view. BUT - don't let that put you off from this hotel. I will return, just with ear plugs. The shower is also very small, with annoying shower curtain that sticks to you! But lots of hot water and great water pressure. All the staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Regards the beds - might be great for some. My bad back wasn't happy, but could be fine for someone else.

It is perfectly located within a very short walking distance of Syntagma metro station There is a metro line from Athens airport to Syntagma metro station, but the best way is to take the cheaper bus shuttle from the airport that stops in the plaza where the Syntagma metro station is (it is about a 60-minute ride). The bus shuttle is a 24-hour service. This neighborhood is a very touristy area with lots of restaurants (Mediterranean, Italian, Korean, Mexican, etc.). The hotel is on a small street. The premisses are stylist and modern. I got a room at the back of the hotel with a really great view of the Acropolis. I could see the Greek flag and the Parthenon. I did not even bother to visit the roof of the hotel, which, they say, also has a nice view. The room has a nice size, and it was cozy and warm in January. The queen bed was comfortable. There is a school (and a small church!) at the back of the hotel. I could hear the children playing during their breaks along the day, but it was not noisy, and at night it was very quiet. There is a small grocery store 500 meters away (it closes on Sundays). There is also a small fridge. The electronic safe was large enough to put my laptop. I went to Athens in January mostly for the Acropolis and the museums. The Acropolis is a 16-minute walk from the hotel (the superb and brand new Acropolis museum is on the way). The very nice Museum of Cycladic Art is an 18-minute walk away. The National Gallery is a 26-minute walk, and the National Archaeological Museum is a 28-minute walk. The Byzantine and Christian Museum is a 20-minute walk. So, I was able to visit all the mentioned places without using public transportation, just walking. The breakfast was quite good with many options including some Greek cheese, Greek spoon sweets, and a good coffee/espresso machine. Before my early check-out they offered me a breakfast box.

I did not find easily accessible sockets close to the bed, so I needed to move a bedside table away from the wall to use the socket behind it for my smartphone/laptop. The shower has a handheld shower set that you can only fix very close to the wall. Since the water pressure was not very strong and I am tall, it was not so easy to wash my hair and face. The reception staff during checkin and short interactions was not unpleasant but rather dry. A bit more welcoming reception would be nice. The walls of the room seem to be paper-thin. I had talkative neighbors, and I could listen to them often.

The location is amazing! really in the heart of Athens.. not far from Syntagma, Acropolis, Monasteraki, right in Plaka... all the good "local" restaurants are at few meters. Plus, for me who values to go to Church it is almost 500 m from the Metropolis of Athens where I went for Liturgy on Sunday.... I mean this is the most perfect spot ever! The staff is beyong helpful and friendly. They really treat us like family... Especially Georgia from the service team. She is friendly, smiling all the time, cares for your well-being... This is for sure my new "home" in Athens. I went there 2 times and I will be going back there everytime I go to Athens.

honestly there is nothing I did not like!

Lovely, comfortable, very clean rooms. Superb facilities and bathrooms; shower was so good. Great breakfast. Brilliant staff. An absolute find; so glad we fount it. And amazing to have Thea Terrace Bar and Restaurant above for probably the best view in all of Athens. We went there every night for our stay.

Might need a small reading light in the room. Only big lights so it was fully on or off, so couldn't use the space to wind down how we would like, but that's not a biggie! Still 10/10
