Hotels near Kentrikon Restaurant in Athens

Negative points:Breakfast buffet has less variety of food. It needs to include fruit squeezer and fried eggs. Black people stay nearby. Positive points: location is very good with 2 metro stations, especially omonia where 2 metro lines interact. They are very helpful for tourist to visit interesting places like acropolis. Staff service is excellent. Indian restaurants nearby offer delicious but cheaper food.

I booked a female-only dormitory room for the second time. The entrance to the room was locked with a card key, and the security side was relieved. There were large lockers in the room, and it was a mechanism to choose a favorite locker and lock it with a padlock handed over at check-in. There were three separate shower toilets on the floor where I stayed, and there was another room on the same floor, but I'm glad I didn't wait for the shower. It was a night stay, but in the morning tea, pound cake and biscuits in the kitchen were free. It was also helpful to have my luggage checked out. I want to use it again.

The service was great 👍 The reception staff were all very friendly, cooperative and service-oriented. Unfortunately, the swimming pool and Spa were not in use due to renovations. We knew that about the Spa, but the indoor pool would be open. That was a disappointment for us, we had chosen the hotel specifically for this. But the solution offered (free use of taxi or bicycle) made up for 95% of this. We had a very nice meal, it was a bit of a shame that we were the only guests.

This is an exceptionally lovely place to stay in the centre of Athens. Walking distance to the Acropolis, Plaka District and all the fabulous restaurants. Very nice rooms and amenities with very friendly staff. Excellent service. Make sure you go up to the roof top bar for food and drinks with a fabulous night time view of the Acropolis and make sure you say hi to Marios… the best and friendliest of bar hosts!

This was our first trip to Athens and staying here was a choice that I would definitely do again.   The convenience the Athenian offers is amazing and their attention to detail for their guests goes above and beyond.  It's a short 15 minute walk to many of desirable destinations in Athens including the Acropolis/Parthenon. The rooms were clean and well appointed with ours having a nice balcony to take advantage of.  The staff is very attentive and knowledgeable about  local attractions including places to eat.  Don't hesitate to take advantage of the the roof top restaurant  as the food is excellent and the views of the Acropolis incredible!  If your lucky enough to get Peter as your server, he will make sure every detail of your meal is taken care of and with a smile!  

My second visit to Athens, this hotel was in a perfect location near everything we wanted to visit. Breakfast was good, staff were amazing and the hotel was very secure after a certain time the automatic doors locked and you could only get in with your key card. We booked the junior suite with the acropolis view it did not disappoint. They had shutters on the doors and windows so the sun didn’t hit you first thing in the morning. The cleaners was amazing they had been cleaning our room twice a day so we left them at tip at end of our visit. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting this beautiful city

This was my second stay at Athens Center Square Hotel and it was as good as the first. Location is fantastic in the old marketplace with a great restaurant at the corner and easy walk to Monesteri and metro. It is a budget hotel - so don't expect luxury and can be a little rough around the edges, but the price is good and the staff is fantastic. From the roof-top bar you get as good a view of the Acropolis as you have from any luxury hotel with friendly service and good prices at the bar. Breakfast included in the rate and was excellent with a large variety of fresh local items plus standard international options. Highly recommended if you want great value, comfortable rooms and fantastic staff. Not luxury, but my choice in Athens every time!

Travelling solo for the first time I was apprehensive and after reading some of the reviews this added to my angst. However on arrival I was warmly greeted and throughout my 5day stay the lovely reception staff couldn't have been more helpful! The hotel, although not situated in the most appealing of areas, is lovely, very clean and has everything you need during your stay. The area isn't the best, however is up and coming and is that of any city centre. Keeping your wits about you and being aware of your surroundings is the best advice I can give! Even in the main Monastiraki Square, you need to be very much aware! I loved my stay and would very much recommend this hotel as I felt very safe here. Walking into the main areas I would advise to walk to the National Archeological Museum and then travel by bus(or walk) to the other areas as this is the way I personally felt safest. The sightseeing buses are the best way to see the city and it's great hopping on/off wherever you wish. I would definitely recommend Plaka as a place to visit-very beautiful and has great places to eat! Taxi drivers can try to con you and charge 4 times the amount for a 5€ journey from Monastiraki SQ to the hotel so be wary of this and agree fares before getting in! All in all a great hotel to stay at and if travelling with 2 or more I'm sure walking back to the hotel at night is fine - I just personally didnt feel safe doing this! I would definitely stay at this hotel again!

I was very worried about this hotel after reading the reviews, however we had a wonderful stay for my 40th birthday, the hotel staff are wonderful and reception arranged a bottle of wine on the day of my birthday and also helped my partner arrange some flowers on the day too. We were in an Urban room at the front of the hotel with a view of the square. The room was enough space for the two of us just lacked space to hang up clothes. We ended up putting our cases under the bed. The bathroom was great no issues with water going everywhere. The decor was very dark throughout but we loved that. Would recommend taking ear plugs. Was generally a quiet stay there were no rooftop parties for our duration, but on the last night there was someone watching something loud on the tv & singing/talking loudly until very early hours. Beds were really comfy, the rooftop bar is excellent we always managed to get a sunbed food was also lovely from the bar. Breakfast was great. The location is a bit sketchy yes there are homeless people but it is a capital city and in comparison to London/Manchester we felt safe enough walking around sticking to the main roads- we did take a side street one evening after dinner and it was a bit iffy but generally in the day was ok just keep your valuables close. We used the metro and the hop on hop off bus is great to get your bearings. Hotel is central great for exploring. Would recommend the Street Food tour and a trip to Temple of Poseidon even though it was a long way.

Didn't get off to a good start as my wallet was stolen getting off the metro, so wasn't in the best of moods, but the people on reception gave me some advice and the morning after we missed breakfast as we wanted to go and report the theft, the person on reception pointed us in the right direction for the police station. The rooms are pretty much as you find in Greece, everything you needed, bath was far to small for me but shower did its job, free safe in room as well. So on the second morning we went for breakfast, this is the highlight of this hotel, as you walk into the breakfast area you are greeted by a really friendly lady who cannot do enough for you and she comes across as a very happy person, typical Greek fare and enough to set you up for the day, bonus number two the view is amazing and as you walk further round the Acropolis appears, it was a great way to start the day. There is also a roof top area where you can sit and drink and at night the Acropolis is lit up and looks magical. The first impression of the area isn't that good, but once you get used to it, its fine, it did seem very safe and literally round the corner there are little streets full of nice bars and shops, it was also very quiet at night which made for a good nights sleep, I would stay here again if I am ever in Athens.
