Good location. Nice view of Acropolis

The room was ordinary. The rooftop had a nice view of the Acropolis. The front desk people were friendly and helpful. The restaurant was empty and no one around to assist for breakfast so walked out.

Good location, poor maintenance

Athens Central Hotel is located close to the Acropolis on a narrow side street. My wife and I had a mixed reception on arrival with the head clerk being quite curt while the second clerk was more pleasant. Our room was on the third floor and the elevator holds 3 people and was no bigger than a phone booth, so beware. From then on we took the stairs. The hallway rug to our room was visibly dirty and upon entering our small room the sizal rug had eye catching big stains. The bathroom was tiny and in the shower we found what appeared to be black mould at the bottom of the walls and around the fixtures. Not healthy. On the positive side, the roof garden had amazing views of the Acropolis at sunset and the breakfasts were pleasant with helpful staff. We stayed two nights at the end of September 2010 and passed on these comments to management. In short, this hotel does have a central location but is in serious need of better maintenance.
