Très bon compromis, confort et praticité
Pros:

L’établissement est particulièrement bien situé proche de la cathédrale, de l’acropole et du quartier de plaka. Les lits sont confortables, la climatisation est très agréable et le restaurant avec la vue est fantastique. C’était un bon séjour pour deux nuits !

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner pourrait être amélioré ainsi que l’amabilité de certains membres du personnel (même si nous compatissons avec leur lassitude).

Pros:

Atinanın en güzel en güvenli bölgelerinden biri plaka olduğunu düşünüyorum. Aşırı merkezi bir konumda hatta alışveriş caddesinin bir arka sokağındaydı. Meşhur pastaneye çok yakın. Odalar temiz ve konforluydu

A painful start to our short, 3 day stay in Athens.
Pros:

The location, view and, breakfast were all reasonable and up to expectation.
The breakfast, dinner and cleaning staff were good.

Cons:

The taxi fare from the airport to the hotel. It was 131 EUROS! We found out later that we had been scammed and it should have been 40 Euros. The print of the photo from the security camera, so that we could get police action in recovering the 91 Euros, was not at all helpful as the number plate was "black".

We LOVED staying at Central Hotel in Athens Greece
Pros:

This hotel is just perfect: the lobby is beautiful, the rooms are clean, the location is within close walking distance to acropolis and plaka shopping, gardens and the Olympic stadium. The rooftop bar/restaurant is also perfect for sunset pics with acropolis in the background. And the breakfast was so delicious and elaborate offering just about anything you can imagine wanting for breakfast. I would choose to stay here again and again. #1 hotel in my opinion. 😊🏆✨🇬🇷💕

Cons:

Didn’t love the teeny-tiny elevators but they worked just fine and it does not take away from how perfect everything else is about this hotel property. The hotel does have a very nice wraparound stairs too if you want to skip elevator completely.

Excellent hotel
Pros:

I have been staying in this hotel for a number of times as I have been visiting Athens every year for the past 7 years or so.
Location, staff, rooms, breakfast have been excellent.

Cons:

The size of the rooms is on the smaller end which requires maneuvering as we always have two suitcases but this hasn't been an issue for us.

Pros:

La posizione era perfetta. Il rooftop aveva la vista su Acropoli.

Cons:

Le camere non erano isolate e si sentivano le persone accanto parlare o fare altro ...

Il bagno è piccolo ma per brevi soggiorni può andare bene.

Muy recomendable siempre que se evite la sexta planta
Pros:

La ubicación es estupenda, cerca de Monastiraki pero sin demasiados turistas. La habitación y baño bien y limpios, algo pequeños. El desayuno estupendo. El personal de recepción no particularmente amable. Buena relación calidad-precio.

Cons:

Evitar las habitaciones de la sexta planta. La terraza con una espectacular vista de la acrópolis iluminada por la noche está abierta al público general, no solamente a los clientes del hotel. Hay mucho ajetreo por la noche y el ruido constante de sillas resulta muy molesto.
