My friend and I arrived in Athens after catching the bus from the airport, We were told by a local taxi owner that the hotel was nearby so we decided to walk there. Well after a very hot walk down the cobbled roads in the heat we eventually arrived at the Central Hotel.It is really a nice hotel in the middle of Athens. It is within walking distance of the Plaka and Syntagma Square.. The rooftop terrace with its swimming pool, is magnificent, with a stunning view over the Plaka and view of the Acropolis. The staff were indeed helpful and gave us good advice as to where to go and what to see. Breakfast was also a variety of different dishes, catering to everyone's taste. The rooms are airconditioned, so after doing your sightseeing it is a pleasant respite after the heat of the city. There are a number of little taverna's in close proximity. I found my stay here fantastic and after my vacation on the islands, came back to stay one more night. Again I experienced the same wonderful service from the staff who were happy to see me again. Definitely if you are a first time visitor to Athens I would highly recommend a stay here.

We really appreciate your kind words on your nice review about our hotel. Central Athens sure is a good choice during the hot summer months with air-conditioned rooms and spaces and a Jacuzzi in the terrace. Most of our clients find it very interesting to walk around the Plaka's picturesque streets and have lunch or dinner in one of the traditional Greek tavernas nearby. Keep in mind that winter is also great in Athens and our staff will be happy to assist you to have another memorable stay.
We look forward to see you again soon and we all wish you a Happy New Year!
