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.
  : 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 hotel was nice, the room has everything you need for one night. The staff was friendly and you felt very welcome. The area is Plaka, so it near to everything. I will recommend the hotel. And they have a very nice toast.

  : 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!
