I've just returned from an 8-night stay in Athens, four of which were at Hotel Central (the other 4 at Plaka Hotel but this didn't live up to expectations). I can strongly recommend this hotel for: its location - a couple of blocks from Syntagma, Plaka and Monastiraki (and luckily far away from Omonia); on a quiet sidestreet with other hotels; the price was reasonable (euro 126 double room); the establishment looks and feels new - nice, clean lines, modern furnishing and fittings,rooms are decorated in cream; the breakfast area is well laid out around a courtyard simply and attractively dressed in decking and large pebbles; the breakfast fare is fine though a little lacking in fruit (but still better than Plaka's); the reception staff are attentive and warm and get things done straight away; the lady at breakfast is cheerful and offers you more tea and coffee at your table; the rooftop view of the Acropolis is fine and there's a jacuzzi which will be a lot of fun in summer; you get......

the staff at Central Hotel is wonderful.. they try... but it is obvious management does not care about the guests or future repeat business.
The jacuzzi - the water is dirty (has not been cleaned in a long time), it is not heated....
The bar only serves beer, sodas, water, wine....
and to top it off.... last week, beginning of heat wave A/C broke down and was not fixed in two days...
plus - there is no TV room or restaurant as the website says.
bottomline -- overpriced, over rated 2 star hotel.... go somewhere else.

There are better places to stay in Athens... no Jacuzzi, no bar - though the website says it does - overpriced. Last week A/C broke down - in Athens! And for 2 days it was not fixed... we checked in and we were not told this was happening....
