We’ve just come back from a wonderful stay. The friendliest team, a great central location, fabulous quirky rooms and extra little touches. Really really Superb value, lovely breakfast. Very comfy bed. Cool roof top. Honestly excellent. Don’t worry about the comments on the street itself, it’s fine. Absolutely stay here, it’s a really great choice.

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!
This hotel was very quirky and inviting. The staff were lovely. There are thoughtful touches like freah fruit water in the lobby, and a hammock on the bar's balcony, and a reckrd player in the room.
I look forward to coming back
Cool property with a hard rock vintage style. Modern yet retro. Extremely comfortable beds. Never slept better. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great amenities. Roof top with amazing views of Athens and a jacuzzi to boot. Definitely recommend. Walking distance to restaurants and of course the Acropolis.
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.
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 :)
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.

Very nice staff. Cute room decor. I didn’t like the unsafe location. If you’re a woman traveling alone, beware.
After a weeklong, stay with two young kids, I wanted to give a honest feedback.
There are two reasons I say, not kid friendly
1, the bathroom walls are plexiglass, even though you can't see through clearly you can still see a outline of the body. My daughter did not want her brother or me looking into the bathroom. This required me to put her in a private room something I do not like doing while traveling in foreign countries.
2. Even though they advertise a smart TV. You're limited to channels only, the smart features do not work. . The few English channels cater towards the adults after 9 PM. There was no appropriate channels for young children.
The second issue I had, even though the description of the rooms include the size. Not all rooms were the same size and when you added the bathroom, desk and bed into the room, you have a limited space to walk around your bed. we had no storage under the bed And one spot in the desk. The desk is also your closet if you are traveling with two bags expect to keep one bag in the walkway.
Some other disappointments we encounter. The hot tub is designed for two people.
The bar is closed. Breakfast is offered only.
Hotel staff were very friendly. Location is OK. Police department across the street. Recommend walking in pairs when leaving the hotel we didn't have any issues, but there is some drug usage in the area.
We were charged €150 per night per room. A fair value would be €60-€75 per night.
the rooms r maybe decorated modern but no glass for toothbrush and paste in the bathroom
the breakfast is very poor cleaning is not suitable and is not in the mornng they claim till 1600 so if we want to come and rest in the afternoon room is not clean
only one lift for 4 stars hotel 9 floors
towels are old
total review very bad for such a hotel and no wonder brown corp os loosing money
we shall never use this hotel and not recommend on it
a big shame for a 4 stars hotel
we go to athens for 18 years now 3-4 times a year first time we got such a poor hotel
