I had a great stay at this hostel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the food was genuinely impressive with good variety and taste. The staff were polite and helpful throughout my stay. The only thing I missed was having Type‑C charging ports in the room, which would have made things more convenient. However, the team provided a charger immediately when I requested one, so it wasn’t a major issue. Overall, a smooth and pleasant experience. Would happily stay again.

The location is pretty good. There's a Chinese restaurant a few hundred meters away, and you can easily walk to the Acropolis from here. The hotel environment is decent, and the front desk staff was reasonably welcoming. Breakfast was also alright.

The apartment was better than I expected. The room was tidy and new, and the price was good value compared to other places nearby. It's a 5-minute walk to the subway station, which was perfect for us as we were out early and back late. The only downside is that it's close to the main street, so there's some traffic noise, but my husband and I are both heavy sleepers, so we didn't mind. Highly recommended.

We arrived after 10 PM. I was a bit hesitant about taking a taxi, as I'd seen previous guest comments mentioning safety concerns. However, the area around the airport metro station was quite lively, and the hotel was just a short walk, a few hundred meters, off the main road. The front desk staff were lovely and made us feel very comfortable. Once we got into our room and saw the Acropolis lit up at night, all my worries completely melted away.

The location is a bit far, about 5 subway stops from Acropolis station, so you'll need to take the subway to reach most tourist attractions. Walking isn't really an option. The subway station is about a 5-minute walk away. There's a police station nearby, so safety wasn't a concern, but I was initially shocked because Athens, Greece, as a whole felt like a slum. I was disappointed that I booked accommodation in such a place, but apparently, by Korean standards, all of Athens looks like a slum. This place was relatively safe and decent. When we visited, there were American and Greek high school students on a field trip, which also made it feel safe. In terms of cleanliness, breakfast, and facilities, it offers excellent value for money. Especially the 7th-floor rooftop, which is open from 12 PM to 10 PM. You can see the Acropolis Parthenon, and the view of the temple illuminated at night and the sunset from the rooftop is simply amazing.

Dave Red in Athens is definitely a hotel with character! If you want to stay somewhere not so ordinary, then this is your choice. The hotel's public spaces and rooms are extremely clean and very tastefully designed with a nod to the building's historical past. The colour palette is in contrasting dark/red tones which gives it unique atmosphere. The main highlight of my room was the super comfy bed and the balcony with a street view. In terms of the size, the room wasn't the biggest but more than enough for a single person. I would like to especially emphasise the staff of the hotel who were extremely helpful, spoke fluent English and gave valuable recommendations. It felt like they really care about their guests' comfort and want them to have best experience in Athens. All the amenities were top notch: breakfast, gym (small but functional), iron and ironing board on request, and a little rooftop space with a communal hot tub😍

Near train station of Central Athens, for 15 minutes walk (btw the announce from train only saying ”Athina”, some mess). Connect easily to metro Larissa Station. You can walk to the central of Athens, including attractions like Ancient Agora and Roman Agora. If you walk further south into the area, the famous Acropolis and the museum can be reached. Although some comments mentioned the locating area of hotel is a little bit not safe, this is just basic living area of locals (though some root level). Just keep yourself alerts, and they are not willing to border you. Once you reach the door of hotel, you will find feeling of good safety, there are always securities in front of door of hotel. Staffs are nice, greeting with you; breakfast provided, same types of choices everyday (I stayed 4 nights), good enough of Western Greek styles. Rooms are slightly old but tidy, anyway just remember basic facilities are provided e.g. no bottled water, toothbrush, slippers. In conclude, just a good 3-stars standard hotel, near city center, for budget! Lastly, just no worry on foods, some 24hr restaurants, maybe that Bread Factory hah

This is a budget-friendly hotel. Of course, it won't stack up against luxury hotels. But if you're not looking to spend a fortune on accommodation, it's definitely a solid option. What's more, since leaving Athens, I haven't been so fortunate with my accommodation finds. For the same price, would you rather squeeze into a dorm room at a youth hostel or enjoy your own private space? Having this kind of choice is infinitely better than having no alternative. ROY, definitely worth a return stay.
