The hotel is the cheapest I found in Europe. The bed is amazing. Also, they pur reaconditionator, which is importa for long hairs. Everything was perfect. The area where is located is not the best, but the police station is just crossing the street, and the metro us only one block away. Forbthe price, it worth it!
We found a Police album and a machine to use!!

Great spot to stay in Athens! Felt very safe the entire time, lots of great options to eat nearby. AC didnt work in the room but that wasn't a big deal. Rooftop patio is excellent but it is all BYOB and no bar on site. Hot tub was nice and clean up there and open 24/7

Good location to visit main sites, about 20 mins walk max. Area directly around the hotel a bit run down but good eateries and a shopping centre close by. Room was functional, nice to have a terrace. Big shower and good sized bathroom. Towels weren’t always clean. Big bed.

It’s difficult to get a good night’s sleep when there is so much noise from outside and the hotel walls are so thin. Added to this is the black out curtains are not wide enough to blackout the light. The breakfast is okay without being special. The rooftop patio is very nice and the views are great. The best part of the hotel.

Great Stay for city break

We enjoyed our stay at Dave Red Athens. We arrived very late due to a delay in our flight, but we had a smooth check in. The room was a little on the small side, but this was fine as we knew that we'd be out & about most of the day. The shower//toilet was only separated by a glass panel which meant that most of the bathroom got wet but again not too huge an issue. Room was clean and quiet. The area was a little perhaps dodgy, I wouldn't have felt comfortable as a solo traveller walking back late at night, but I felt safe with my husband. Very convenient for the tube.

Surprisingly very pleasant

Due to the reviews we were a bit skeptical about the location. Turns out we didn’t see anything too alarming, not the best neighbourhood to hang out but it was okay. The hotel itself was actually very nice, staff were nice and helpful, we managed to use the hot tub even in winter. My favourite part was definitely the bed! What an amazing mattress.

We had a fantastic stay at Dave Red. We really enjoyed the hotel and the facilities. It’s a very unique hotel with a funky design theme. The roof top is a great escape in Athens. Front staff were also very welcoming and informative, thank you for all the suggestions. I would definitely return!
