Whereabouts to stay in Athens?

Going to Athens for a long weekend in September. Can anyone recommend which are the best areas to get a hotel?

I don't need any help finding a hotel as such, just an idea of where in the city is good to stay.

I read a few reviews on https://www.Tripadvisor.com and found that some good hotels were located in dogdy areas. Can anyone who has been before point me in the right direction. Obviously, I want to be centrally located so its easy to get about and ideally would like some nice restaurants etc. nearby.

Cheers!!

    Edit , meant to add , we stayed at kaningos 21 which was near to omonia Sq -definately not the nicest area , but handy for everything inc metro and the hotel was fine
