Central Hotel

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.

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.

This hotel was very centrally located on a quiet street. Very walkable area with lots of shops and restaurants. They arranged for a taxi to pick us up at the airport upon our arrival which was much appreciated. We had 2 connecting rooms - one with a beautiful view of the Acropolis for me and my husband and one with a view of a wall for our sons. It was nice to have the connecting rooms so we could keep the doors open and have it feel much more spacious. The breakfast had lots of variety with both American and Greek foods. Do not miss having drinks up on the rooftop bar - the view is stunning! Everything was very clean and well maintained and the staff was just lovely.

We are an elderly couple and the location was an easy walk uphill to get to syntagma square, the Benaki museum, the National park of Athens and restaurants. It was too far for us to walk to the Acropolis or any of the ruins but we have seen them before. We enjoyed just relaxing in the park at syntagma square and chatting with people and watching children and families enjoying the day. One of the receptionists was exceptional, Katerina. She was available in the evenings and we used her to plan our visit. She took the time to make recommendations and she took out a map to show us where we wanted to go. One of the gentlemen, I’m sorry I didn’t get his name, was also very helpful in holding our luggage after we checked out of the room, while we waited for our taxi at 4:00 PM.

Stayed for a few nights late August 2023 with one other person. The hotel is in a very central location and this was exactly what we needed. The hotel has a stylish reception area and the staff there are polite and are happy to assist. The room itself was of a decent size - the hotel acceded to our request of two single beds without issue. The pictures taken give an accurate reflection of what the rooms are like. The amenities in the room are good. Most notably it had a very useful fridge, as well as tea and coffee making facilities. The rooms were cleaned to a high standard. The restaurant at the top of the hotel has a very beautiful view but is somewhat expensive. It’s tough to get a table for that reason so I would recommend booking well in advance. The food was good although we did not think that it was worth what we paid. Breakfast was included with the room and had a decent variety albeit this could be improved. Overall, I would definitely recommend staying here to anybody looking to visit Athens.
