Athens Central Hotel

Athens Central Hotel

8/10 Good
"Parking is on-site, but some spots are difficult to access due to the hotel's unique architecture with support beams. The showers are amazing, the best in Athens! The hot breakfast is nice. The room was clean, but translucent shades would improve privacy, as the blackout screens block too much light during the day. I also noticed the shampoo wasn't refilled. Overall, I would stay here again if the price is right."
