What guests think

Athens Central Hotel earns praise for its central, walkable location near Court Street and Ohio University, consistently friendly staff, and modern, comfortable rooms, while recurring comments note thin walls and street noise that can affect sleep for light sleepers.

Many guests find rooms clean and nicely updated, but several report housekeeping lapses such as stained sheets, hair, or mold. Breakfast is convenient and generally liked, though quality and variety are mixed, and a few stays reported limited or no service. Other noted issues include loud in-room A/C, harsh lighting, occasional Wi‑Fi or TV problems, and rare booking or responsiveness concerns. Expect a modern, walkable stay, but pack earplugs if you’re noise‑sensitive.

Great staff, happy to help with any needs and reccomendations. perfect location for downtown and the university. The only concern (as noted by others), the walls are painfully thin meaning you can hear everything your neighbour does, and they you! Good breakfast included, safe parking, would stay again with earplugs

My sheets were yellow, and the top sheet was torn. There was coffee left in the coffee pot. On the pull out there was food on it and a green lighter. It is probably still there didn’t pick it up. There is no security. It was very expensive for all of this. The bananas on the breakfast thing were black, the creamer curdled in my coffee. We were in Room 215 for a college visit. I wish I would have stayed at the university hotel.

First thing I noticed when using the bathroom was long dark hair wrapped around f the vitrine of the shower door. At the same time my daughter was turning down the bed to find it looked like it had been slept in, stained sheets, and lots of hair. I called the front desk to ask to be moved to a different room. She said the hotel was full and offered to bring clean sheets, which she did within a matter of minutes. The sheets she brought were Watt in a ball, she started to help me put them on, and I told her she could go, and as soon as she left, we noticed that the new sheets also had stains on them. By this time, it’s after one in the morning, we needed to be up at 6 AM so we decided to just sleep with our clothes on. It was very hard to sleep because the walls are so thin in this hotel you could literally hear every car at the intersection, especially the loud trucks accelerating when the light turned green. Our refrigerator was very noisy, the lack of carpeting or area rugs made for hearing every footsteps in the rooms around us. When I went to take my medicine and fill the clear plastic cup, the water was literally brown. Very disappointing stay which got us off to a rough start for our college visit. I would not stay here again.

The walls are extremely thin and you can hear everything in the room next to you so it's hard to sleep if your neighbors come back to their room after you are asleep because you hear them, their conversations and their televisions.

The room was ideal. Large. Clean. Great bath with a multifunction shower. However, all of the lights are 6000k LEDs which is fine if you're shopping, but atrocious in a bedroom. There was no escape. I wound up turning everything off and using ambient light from Athens. Fix that and you'll have an ideal spot.

The room was nice, comfortable bed, nice showers. Liked the hotel in general but our room was directly next to the breakfast area. At 4 am both mornings we were wakened to slamming cabinets, coffee making and many additional noises. Our room #205 was also right next to the street and apparently they failed to use sound deadening glass as we heard every can and truck all night long. Just don’t get a room on the street side of the building or next to the breakfast srea!

Booked a 2 bedroom suite on 1/28 for the weekend of 3/4. Called 5 days prior to confirm the suite (me and another Dad were coming down for the last time before out kids graduation). Confirmation that the room was good. Got their Saturday and both 2 bedroom suites were taken and they had me down for a 1 bedroom. I said that would not work because of the other Dad. They had one other room available and I asked for it to be discounted so that my cost would be inline with the original room. It cost me significantly more than the orignal 2 bedroom suite. They are more concerned with $$$ than customer service and making things right. Fair warning.

Really cute little boutique hotel in the middle of Athens, very near Ohio University. It was a Friday night and college kids were out having fun, so it was a little noisy late at night. Otherwise, it's a great little property. Only disappointment was in the breakfast but then most hotel breakfasts aren't great.

The staff are very friendly. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast did include eggs and breakfast meat, but there is nothing of note for breakfast as space is limited. The biggest drawback was souns coming from the adjoining room. I could here the couple's conversation quite clearly, and the noise from raising and lowering the blinds. Even with that, i would consider staying here again if im spending time in the area. It is close to a number of restaurants and bars that appear to be accommodating to the college students.
