Overall the stay was fantastic for our stop over, with perfect opportunity to do many things in Athens and get a comfort
Pros:

The best part of the property was what they had to offer, the beautiful breakfast buffet and gorgeous rooftop restaurant really made our stay here

Cons:

If there was anything i could pick it would only be that maybe a bit more space in the rooms for what we payed would’ve been nice, Especially as we were travelling through so suitcase room wasn’t amazing for two but really that was the only inconvenience :)

Nice but with caveats, especially on SAturday nights
Pros:

Beware if you stay here on a Saturday night. I paid for a premium room, with a view of the Acropolis and breakfast. There is a bar on the street behind the Central Athens Hotel and - at least on the Saturday night I was there - it BLASTS music throughout the evening until about midnight. Really unpleasant since I was up early the next morning to ply home. Otherwise the hotel was just fine, although the room very small for two. My son left for home after the first night there. After he left i noticed that the hotel was on a bit of a deserted stretch of the Plaka (if that is possible), so i was a bit wary walking home in the evenings as a solo older woman. I will also say that one day housekeeping never showed up. On the other hand, the front desk was very helpful, calling cabs for us, etc.

Pros:

La ubicación. La persona del front office durante el check-out

Cons:

El personal del front office durante el check-in poco amable. . El box que entregan por check-out temprano antes del desayuno es pésimo. Un sándwich con una feta de jamón y queso que ni siquiera cubre el tamaño del pan. Galletas cracker con miel. Una manzana y un jugo. No lo recomendaría

Melhor custo benefício de Atenas
Pros:

A localização certamente é um bônus nesse hotel. A uma pequena caminhada de distância estão os pontos principais da cidade. Fizemos tudo a pé, fora que o Porto está a uma curta viagem de metro, que também tem entrada próxima. Muito perto da região dos restaurantes e vida noturna, mas distante o suficiente para conseguir dormir bem a noite. O atendimento dos funcionários foi excepcional, todos muito prestativos e atenciosos. Tivemos um problema com nosso ferry e não tivemos dificuldades para voltar para o quarto mesmo já tendo feito checkout. O café da manhã é bom, tem tudo que você precisa. O quarto é um pouco pequeno e o banheiro também, mas nada que tenha atrapalhado nossa estadia.

Cons:

Banheiro com box de cortina e pequeno, mas nada muito problemático

Wonderful welcoming hotel in great location with great staff, made our brief visit to Athens very special.
Pros:

Very friendly helpful and cheerful staff….especially in reception who made the visit a ‘wow !’ experience right from the very start. The view from the rooftop restaurant was stunning and we booked and enjoyed an excellent evening meal. We booked a basic room and it was all that we needed…..clean and comfortable.

Cons:

It was all good.

Wonderful hotel!
Pros:

The hotel was in a perfect location where we could walk everywhere. We had a wonderful view of the Acropolis from our room. We had the 2BR suite. The breakfast was delicious. We were able to check in early which allowed my grown son to take a nap while my husband and I explored the Ancient Agora.

I highly recommend the Central Hotel for your stay in Athens
Pros:

The location to the Plaka, restaurants and attractions was great. Their rooftop restaurant and the view of the Acropolis is stunning. The front desk staff are accommodating and when we left very early for the airport one morning, they prearranged our taxi and a bagged breakfast for us.
