Central Hotel

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

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.

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.

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