Located in slightly sketchy area

It was a nice place to stay

Stayed in August 2025

The gym had minimal working equipment and the pool table was unusable. The property location is about 15 to 20 minutes walk to the main attractions.

Located close to a Metro, and amazing front staff. The breakfast was also very good. There is a nice rooftop deck for lounging and a cute area downstairs for hanging out. The room had a small balcony and the places easy to find for check in. If you need to have your bags held, the front desk stuff is very accommodating.

Had option on booking.com to choose two separate beds and took that option, was not available on site, two separate sheets and single matrass instead. Location on the edge of not so nice district, not romantic down the street at all.

newly refurbished, modern and stylish with rooftop terrase

The bathroom was a bit odd and not the most comfortable, but it was clean and manageable.

Very kind and helpful staff, and a great location right in the center, just a short walk from the metro.

Bit of a weird vibe in the breakfast room: staff was not very welcoming. The light on the balcony is always on at night, while the curtains are not wide enough to shut out all of the light so bit of a nuisance.

Very friendly front of desk staff. We even got upgraded and got free (basic) breakfast. Cool rooms.

Roof terrace rundown with faded seating and a broken jacuzzi.

Good location and quirky design throughout.

The drain in our ensuite was damaged and there was not much sound insulation so you could hear a lot of street noise. The location is in a bit of a rundown part of town.

Spacious room with a really comfortable bed and decent continental breakfast buffet. Good public transport connections with the subway. The price was very fair for what we got.

Breakfast, although good quality was a bit limited. Some more fruit or hot options would have gone down well

Interesting building, ex base of the Greek Comunist Party. Loved the distressed post modern industrial style.

The Room Was A little bit small.

The hotel was cool, in a very good position. You everything near by. the stuff was very good.

The Dave Red in Athens, just off Omonoia Square. Review of The Dave Red Athens - March 2025 Check-in was smooth, especially considering my name has a special character and often gets misspelled -I checked in online - No hassle this time, Plus points - which was a nice start. The hotel was clean and looked freshly presented, but there are some serious downsides you should know about before booking. Totally outside the control of the Dave hotel ! There is a hidden door in the ground floor library, You open it to a store room and a stain well come oncome on -dave red guys- like it a Bar. The Area (and it's a big issue) The hotel is only a few hundred metres from Omonoia Metro Station, but walking those few hundred metres feels like crossing a dystopian wasteland. Junkies and people clearly struggling with addiction are everywhere - shooting up in doorways, passed out on the pavement, or stumbling around in a daze. One man ahead of me was swinging a syringe around like it was a cigarette, in broad daylight. I didn't feel directly threatened, but the general atmosphere was intense and unpleasant. You also see severely unwell women loitering - prostitutes- in what looks like a desperate state. Some stood motionless at corners like statues, others circled the same block over and over. It was deeply sad. The whole area feels forgotten and unsafe. If you're not used to this kind of street scene, it's genuinely shocking. The Room The room was fine in terms of cleanliness, but definitely unfinished. It had a clean, modern look - no carpets, just polished flooring - but the detailing wasn't great. The major issue was the shower: it simply doesn't drain. The major issue was the shower: it simply doesn't drain. I've worked in construction and can say with confidence - the floor of the shower area has no angle, no lip, and no waterproof tilting detail.

The style and the easy how the Omonoia Metro Station, and get you everywhere. The room was nice a big and it was very quiet ! There are things in the Daves red's control and things that are not ! the rooms are fine- the builfin was the old comnist part head quarters of gresses - I would have pushed the history of the place. a bit more. with massive murall in the brakfast room .

Big, modern, location

The jacuzzi was dirty for a few nights but got cleaned on the last day of our stay.

The jacuzzi was amazing, we loved the rooftop and the breakfast!

On the downside, the toilet door was slightly misaligned, which seemed to be a known issue. As a result, water tended to spread across the bathroom floor when showering. Additionally, we noticed that bathrobes, bottled water, and cutlery were not provided in the room, which would have been a nice touch (and clearly were included in the amenity list)

We really liked the room—it was stylish, clean, and well-heated, with convenient electricity adapters. The bedding was cosy and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere felt welcoming. The hotel offered good value for money, with a decent breakfast, and the staff were exceptionally helpful. They accommodated our early check-in request and even arranged for breakfast to be served earlier, which we really appreciated. The location was also excellent, making it easy to explore the city. .

A bit noisy even on upper floor

Excellent position, extremely safe (in front of big police station)

Stayed in January 2025

There was a lot of noise from the street during the night (and we were on the 9th floor). The room's door had a faulty alarm that kept ringing every couple of minutes until someone from the staff suggested slamming the door shut

The staff was great and they were really nice. They even let us have a late checkout

Location: You might think that staying in a central location is ideal for a short vacation, but the neighbourhood is dodgy, even though when there's a police station in front of the hotel, that makes the fake sense of safety. Although I did not have any bad experience whatsoever, I never felt safe. Hotel room: the bathroom was quite small and the shower did not have a basin so when you showered the whole bathroom got wet. The terrace has a light that can't be turned off, so it made it difficult to sleep.

This is a budget hotel located in a central area of Athens. The closest metro station is Omonia, which is 150m of walking distance. It had breakfast included in the price. Hotel Staff: very nice, helpful and there's 24/7 desk service. Hotel Room: nice and comfy bed and sheets.

Breakfast was just ok. It feels like some of the dishes are kept somewhere in a damp room.

Location was good. Staff was brilliant. It's definitely worth visiting to find something at least a little bit off the beaten path.

Small rooms is the only complaint I can think of

Great location, love the multiple nice places to hang out with on the hotel, very friendly staff would stay in again next time in Athens.

The breakfast was sparse and not the typical brown style. I could easily hear other people from my room. The rain shower didn't work and was old.

The room was cool, and quite trendy. The location good. The gym also good.

The location is a little away from centre in a slightly rougher area of the city. We didn't have any trouble at all and it's quite well connected to the rest of the city via metro (2 minutes walk) however it was a little uncomfortable at night.

Extremely comfy mattress which is always a good thing for hotel stay. The staff were exceptional as well. Kindly supported us in changing our booking after an error in dates and offered us free breakfast on arrival which was very kind.
