Very Good

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
The gym, the room, the facility were all great reasons for our five star rating - but most of all we were very please with the hospitality and recommendations from Irene at the front desk- she goes above and beyond, we feel this deserves to be recognized :)

Worked for a city break
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.
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.
We had a nice stay and the staff was very friendly and helpful

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!
Nice little place, well situated near the Metro. Cafes and shops close by for breakfast. Bar was 'closed' but plenty of other places around. Great bed (huge and comfortable) and shower (loved the shampoos and lotions). Only downside was noise carried through the rooms, TVs on and talking not how we wanted to wake up each morning. Area was safe (next to the Police station) would recommend for a few days.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. They upgraded me to a room with a balcony. The room smelled like cigarettes but was easily aired out with the balcony door open. The breakfast spread was pretty decent, however not much for a vegan to eat aside from Toast and fruit. They had a machine to fill water. You can’t beat the price of $45 a night. The hot tub was warm and the view from the rooftop was lovely
The hotel is well located near Omonia square. It is surrounded by buss lines and within a five minutes walk from a subway station. There are eateries open 24/7 and while being located across from a police station means there's no parking at all, it also means you're completely safe and secured without any shady monkey business going on. The staff is kind, knowledgable and attentive. The hot tub on the roof is grand and the view of the acropolice nice. The gym is basic, but it is there. If you are a gym type of person, consider bringing resistance bands to supplement your options.

Room was quite small and sound traveled from adjoining rooms and other parts of the hotel. My first night there was only one bath towel - no floor mat or hand towels. This changed my second night. Breakfast was decent, and staff were knowledgeable about arranging taxi, etc. Overall location good, but was noisy and small .
