Central Hotel Athens

Central Hotel is at Apollonos 21 in Plaka, the neighbourhood of lanes, shops and tavernas spreading beneath the Acropolis. Syntagma Square is a short walk away, and the archaeological site can be reached on foot through the old centre. The hotel combines city rooms with Thea Terrace, a rooftop bar and restaurant looking towards the rock and the city skyline. Google Hotels identifies it as a three-star property; for visitors, its strongest argument is the address rather than a long list of facilities.

The website shows standard, family and connecting rooms, as well as breakfast and restaurant service. The hotel works as a base for travellers who spend the day out and return to rest, while the terrace offers a way to end the evening without seeking another viewpoint. Guest comments repeatedly praise the location, cleanliness, helpful staff and rooftop views; some describe small rooms and the noise of a central district, while others highlight comfortable family rooms. Google Hotels showed 4.4/5 from 1,824 reviews in the check made on 11 October 2026. That guest score is separate from the three-star classification.

The published address is Apollonos 21; the hotel lists check-in from 15:00 and check-out by 12:00. Check availability and conditions when booking, especially if you arrive early or want an Acropolis view: not every room offers the same outlook. For walking, this branch is better placed than Candia Hotel; Candia, beside Larissa station and the metro, may suit travellers who prioritise rail links and a rooftop pool. Central is the stronger fit when the aim is to stay in Plaka and walk to the monuments.
