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.

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!

We loved the perfect location!, absolutely perfect for a sightseeing stay in Athens but also near eateries and shops. Very safe area with a good vibe. Also loved the quietness and hotel facilities-especially the luggage scales, essential! We loved the varied breakfast which was also included and was open from 7am- vital for early touring before the heat! I'm vegan so asked the helpful staff for soia milk and a Greek coffee and they were very obliging. Very helpful reception staff. Very good value for money, will definitely return next year, absolutely recommend staying here when in Athens.

Very minor issues- having paper tea cups and not proper china cups in the bedrooms, so my wife took 2 cups from breakfast to our room. Also not having the same quality of tea in the rooms as there is for breakfast, twinnings for eg. My wife found the bed a bit disconcerting as it was on wheels and kept moving away from the wall. As I said absolutely very minor issues.

Everything is within walking distance, the Acropolis, the oldest part of the city, the Syntagma square. Pleasant city, hospitable people. Gorgeous view from the rooftop, really best ever food.

A little bit too much crowd on the rooftop. And don't come by car. The hotel doesn't have enough parking places of its own and might not bother to help you find parking place (although it costs them only one phone call). On the contrary, they may send you find one on your own, giving you wrong directions and stacking you in a jam which may last longer from your previous ride from home, unless you react somehow swiftly. And since the hotel is in the center of the city and generally is no other way to come, it might be better to be prepared to drug your luggage in busses, trams etc. (if you are acquainted with the public transport) and from them until the hotel.

We originally booked another hotel and when we landed late at night we felt really unsafe by the activity around us. We found and booked Central hotel who were quickly able to accommodate us. The location, cleanliness and staff were superb. We wish we would have booked this earlier so we could have enjoyed our first night in Greece.

The restaurant has a fantastic view and we enjoyed the food. What we did not enjoy was the constant smoking. Especially when there are pregnant women and children around. There should be option for non-smokers to be able to eat without dealing with smoke.

The location of the hotel and the aircon in the room was very good. It was good value for money with breakfast included. When we opened the doors and stood on a chair we could see the Acropolis from our room and we didn’t pay for the view room. Also, there was an old church in front of our window which was cool. The view of the Acropolis at the top of the rooftop bar is exceptional and is 5 star. We spent 4 hours at the bar with Alexis the bar staff. Alexis went above and beyond and was excellent hospitality. Thank you Alexis we hope to see you again!

Everything was very good considering the location, rooftop bar and price. Only slight negative was the room was a little small and shower could be a little cleaner. However it is an old hotel and the price was very good. I would stay here again.

The breakfast is good, different fresh thing every day. The location is extremely good - near every point of interest!

The bathroom door is almost transparent, which did not fit for me and my best friend (we are not a couple...). Also, shower is too small and curtain disturbs while showering. Refrigerator made unpleasant noise, and at night, we had trouble sleeping because of it. Also, we came really early and wish we can get the room sooner but had to wait for hours till check in hours. I know this is part of the policy but in other hotels they made an effort and gave us room faster.

Location was wonderful. Building was quite modern with very nice upscale design. Breakfast was loaded with choices. Shower water pressure was great.

I had read about the exceptional staff and upon entering or leaving the establishment (even checking in) I did not find them terribly friendly or quick with an acknowledgement, greeting, welcome or smile as they were always too busy talking to their colleagues. The room was a little small and I do think it's overpriced. Was very excited about rooftop view but the minute you arrived were confronted with "do you have a reservation?" instead of a simple "welcome", giving you time to look around and get a feel for it, or even offering you a menu to look at. Overall I felt that the Central Hotel thought it was an upscale hotel but in the end just couldn't pull it off. I was disappointed. I probably wouldn't stay here again, not worth it.
