Hotels Near Grove Prophet Ilias in Central Athens

Dave's Hotel Athens is a great hotel for those looking to experience a new type of hotel with there cool industrial look. I had seen some questionable reviews, which left me with some worries surrounding the hotel and its location. I am happy that I gave the hotel a fair chance to impress me, The gentleman (Sadly missed his name) that welcomed us was extremely kind and happy to help us and do what he could to ensure we were happy. We stayed in room 802, This was a lovely room, a little small for a long stay but for the 3 days we had booked it was more than comfortable. We loved the little quirks in the room with red lighting, record players, and many more. The TV had a good range of channels and the bed was extremely comfortable especially the pillows. The only negative was the aircon that was controlled by a receptionist and was a pain to get keep calling to get it correct temp sorted. The surrounding area was a little run-down but you can see that they are starting to renovate the area, I think in a year or two it will be easier on the eye and more appealing to tourists. A couple of homeless people and a couple of odd characters but nothing you wouldn't get in any capital city across Europe. We did not ever feel in any danger or worried about walking around the area. The hotel also had a great rooftop with a Hot Tub that was open 24/7. Overall Great Hotel to stay at I would definitely try it out for something different to experience and the price is great.

Minus: The toothbrush holder looked very dirty, I would probably give it a deep clean. There were some signs of mold in the shower and the toilet paper holder was loose from the wall. The rain shower head lived a life of its own, very inconsistent with how the water came out, it also took time for the water to warm up. If you care about noise, don't get a room with a street view, the windows really weren't soundproof at all. The location is a bit sketchy at night. I would also recommend the hotel to advertise to people not to waste food at the breakfast buffet because there was A LOT of it by others when we were there. This is a big thing for hotels in the north. Pros: The room looked quite newly renovated. Seems like the hotel was under renovation because when we were there it was a completely different style from the breakfast room to the room. It's probably going to be very pretty when it's finished. Plus for the minibar and kettle in the room. Plus for a separate toilet room and shower room. Great view from the balcony in the room and from the roof terrace. Great, down to earth staff. Also a very good breakfast, I have stayed in many different hotels and this is one of the best breakfasts in Europe for me.

No kettle coffee or milk in the rooms buffet breakfast was very minimal and bland reception staff are very polite and professional and there’s is security at the foyer outside at night which is amazing for single woman travelers 🧳 air conditioner is perfect 👌 and has a balcony with views of locals in the apartments but still glad to have a outside area off the bedroom

I’m sad to read that there was this problem even ages ago, and till last week nothing has changed… I didn’t check tripadvisor before to book I’m only opening this to let the others know this problem but I’m seeing it’s an old and unsolved problem. After the orribile first night told to the reception what happened, oh ok I’ll send the housekeeper to sanificate the room, when we returned back in the evening I think nobody has never entered into that room coz the sheet were still dirty of blood. Second night again, this time they changed us the room, same problem meanwhile I was getting worst and worst and fortunately they chased just me (we were with 2 kids 2 and an half, and 8 months baby). Once again I went down to the reception and we got another room, but nothing changed. The only thing they have to do is junk everything in the bin start to sanificate and deep clean from the rooftop to the basement, then paint the wall and new everything. (We were 4 but in the first two rooms we got 3 single beds, in the last one just a doble bed)

Stayed in a 6 bed hostel room. Bunk was comfortable. Nice large lock boxes. Good lighting and electric outlets with each bunk. Good curtains for privacy and lighting. Staff was really helpful and welcoming. Nice cafe on street level. Bathrooms were clean and kitchen on 1st floor was nice and coffee and tea were available. Great location in a Athens. Right where you want to be for quick access to attractions, transportation, restaurants and nightlife. Yes staying in a shared room can get noisy when people come in after a night out, but that’s hostel life. In any case bed was comfortable and I slept well. Would stay there again.

I stayed at Mosaikon for 5 days. The hostel is not like your typical hostel, it has a feel and service of a hotel. I stayed in a 4 bed female dorm with a private bathroom and the beds were comfortable, you had room to sit up and read and curtains to maintain your privacy when sleeping. Housekeeping cleaned the romms everyday. They offer a laundry service if you need any clothes washed, which is helpful if travelling for long. On the first floor you have a kitchen where you a cooker, microwave, kettle, coffee maker and fridge. Perfect if you want to prepare your own meals. I chose to have breakfast and you your choice of hot beverage made for you, with boiled eggs, gronola and yoghurt, bread, ham sandwich, scrambled eggs, Greek pastry and croissants. There is also freshly squeezed orange juice available too. The fifth floor is their roof top bar where you get to enjoy the view of the Acropolis lit up at night. The bar was not open whilst I was there, but can imagine it being a great place to meet other fellow travellers. The staff are all helpful and would like to say a big thank you to Kuriios. He always greets you with a smile and was so helpful in giving his recommendations on any trips from Athens and how best to get there. I ended up going up north to Kalambaka to see the Meteora Monasteries. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Athens to plan a trip to see them. Mosaikon is in walking distance to all major sites and the area Monastiraki has plenty of restaurants, bars, coffee shops and shops to explore. I have no doubt you will enjoy your stay here with the friendly service and great location.

This is an exceptionally lovely place to stay in the centre of Athens. Walking distance to the Acropolis, Plaka District and all the fabulous restaurants. Very nice rooms and amenities with very friendly staff. Excellent service. Make sure you go up to the roof top bar for food and drinks with a fabulous night time view of the Acropolis and make sure you say hi to Marios… the best and friendliest of bar hosts!
