The hotel was really nice and right on the main road close to two metro stations at very walkable distance. They provided me with 7th floor road facing balcony room on request which was perfect for me. The room was clean with a fridge and a smart tv. There was issue with wifi on the first 2 days but they provided with a greek sim for use. The breakfast with a view was plentiful though they exactly close at 10am but you can sit with your stuffs longer and enjoy the food. They even provided all sorts of toiletteries including lotion. For the discounted price I paid, the stay was beyond expectation. The ac in the room worked great. The bed was comfortable. I personally did not face any safety issues coming back to the hotel even at 10.30pm.
We had a really great stay! The hotel was perfectly very clean, comfortable rooms and a super friendly and helpful team. The location was ideal and everything was well organized. Absolutely recommendable, we would come back at any time.

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😍
We chose this hotel because we were going to Balambaka by train in the morning. The location is very close to the train station👍. The basement room can store luggage, each luggage locker costs €3, but our luggage is too big (28 inches😅) to fit in the locker. Fortunately, the staff put it outside for us (of course we have a lock to ensure safety), and only charged us €6. Thank you to the hotel staff for solving our problem and their attitude is also very good.

Lovely little hotel, better than expected! Hotel staff are lovely, room was spacious, clean and stocked with amenities. There’s an old fashioned lift on site but takes a while to come so be prepared to either wait or take the stairs. Small downfall is the location as it’s in the backstreets of Athens down (probably not safe to walk alone especially as a female). Other slight downfall is the hotel public toilets don’t have any locks on the doors which made me feel uncomfortable to use so had to go back up to the room to use the toilet during breakfast time. Breakfast was a nice buffet mix and great hot drinks options, although the food on the hot plates was lukewarm so not sure they are working.

I fully enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Excellent location at walking distance to many of the main attractions and public transportation also very close by. The room was comfortable and clean and breakfast had a good variety. They even prepared a boxed breakfast for me one day when I went on a day trip that would leave before the hotel breakfast time started. The rooftop bar has the most fantastic view of the Acropolis. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would love to stay there again if I ever go back to Athens.
Good location of the hotel, poor services, excellent cleaning, at any time, and very kind staff, abundant breakfast, but never variable, always the same things, after 3 days tired of always eating the same things.
Parking not available on site as reported!!!
This thing must be changed absolutely since a customer may be looking for some hotel with only a private parking available on site!!
For a 4 star I expected at least, disposable toothbrushes and a disposable razor……
But maybe it is asking too much (?)
For the rest excellent something to improve!
But I would go back.

Overall, it was a very good hotel and worth recommending. The location is excellent, right near the subway station, but when I went there was a strike, so the subway was just sitting there, haha. The hotel's decor and facilities were nice, clean, and comfortable. The only drawback was the neighborhood; it was really dirty and messy, looking like an unsafe area, although it wasn't actually unsafe, haha. The receptionist's English wasn't particularly good, but he met all my needs, which was great. If I come back, I'll definitely stay here again.
Lovely little hotel with helpful staff.
The train station is across the road from the hotel, which is very handy.
The room was spacious enough for me. It got cleaned most days.
The hotel is about a 25-30 minute walk to the main attractions (or you can just get on a train). I just googled places and walked everywhere.
Never felt in danger walking around (that includes night time, too).
There are a couple of mini supermarkets around the corner from the hotel with a variety of different things (fresh produce, etc).
My room had a nice view of the city, and the sun was shining on my balcony most of the day, I could watch sunset (see photo)
My ONLY negative was the smoking. The cleaner would smoke in her cleaning room, and when I got fresh towels, they smelt of cigarettes. Smoke travels, and I always knew when she had arrived or when she was smoking. I noticed that the hotel is a non-smoking hotel, but other guests were smoking on their balcony.
Other than that, I had a nice, clean, and relaxing stay here. I would stay here again, super cheap and cheerful.

GGuest UserPlaka Hotel offers an excellent location right in the heart of Athens, with great value for money. The rooftop terrace is a highlight, boasting amazing views of the Acropolis. Breakfast was tasty and satisfying, and while the hotel isn’t luxurious, it provides everything you need for a comfortable stay.
KKDTINOThe Attalos Hotel is good with everything you need, reception is right at the front door with very helpful and friendly staff, the lifts are small, so only one person and your luggage at a time, but that’s ok. It has the most amazing rooftop with Athens’ best kept secret bar and view of the acropolis that you won’t ever forget. Rooms are good, (we stayed in 507 & 506), not too big, however Athens is old so it’s ok for what you need and I am picky. The bed is comfortable, the linen is clean and fresh towels, the bathroom is small but water is hot and water pressure perfect. Great location, just off a small street and so close to Monastiraki Square in Athens which is less than 100 meters away. Close to a supermarket, cafe’s everywhere (you have to get yourself a real Greek coffee- now that’s a caffeine hit you will need after travelling 😉) and there is amazing authentic Greek Food all around. I recommend Nikos Tavern just pass the church in the square and left up the alley. It one of the oldest, and I was there 32 years ago. You will see all the tables and chairs!! Attalos is walking distance to all the sights you need to see, like the acropolis and museums and train station are right nearby. I will definitely stay here again ever time I visit Athens on my way to the Peloponnese. What a great memory, Thanks guys!!
HHsiang Ling ChienMany shops near the hotel were closed, littered with trash, and filled with homeless people, which was a bit scary. However, the hotel was very nice, and there was a rooftop with plenty of fresh air. There was also a delicious bakery next to the station, where we ate there two days!
YYiheThe front desk service was very good, but the hotel is too close to the main road and too noisy. The noise from cars roaring at night was very loud. I communicated with the front desk before check-in and it was already on the side facing the side street instead of the main road. In order to be quiet, I was upgraded to a family suite, but it was still very noisy.
집집이최고Good location, simple and clean. The front desk is friendly and the breakfast is average. Hot water comes out well and the room is not cold. Please note that the single room is full of beds. The bed is not uncomfortable, but the blanket is only a sheet and a blanket, so it may be a little unfamiliar to Koreans.
SShobyThat hotel can easily be the best hotel in the area if they paid more attention to the renovation issue.. The place is well located and nice old classic design..
Staff are very helpful and breakfast was ok too..
They can't be blamed about few homeless people around as it's like that everywhere around that area.
CCherylWe stayed 3 nights at A for Athens in April 2024 and really enjoyed the hotel. Clean, modern guest rooms and the location is great, right across from Monastriaki Square and metro stop. Close to restaurants and shopping. The front desk receptionists were all very helpful, and the room was nicely appointed. We were in a 2nd floor room not facing the street and noise was minimal. There were drums playing in the square until very late so noise could be an issue in a different room. The breakfast included with the room was in a nice rooftop restaurant with fantastic Acropolis views all around. The food selections were very good with three different egg dishes, bacon, ham, sausages, fruit,pastries, Greek yogurt to choose from. They also served coffee, orange juice and very good cappuccino lattes upon request. We will stay here again on our next visit to Athens.
GGuest UserGreat location as all main tourist sites (including Kerameikos and Filopappou Hill) were walkable - also outside the main tourist area, which was a plus. Roof terrace also pleasant at the end of the day.
Hotel facilities are limited: WiFi, internet tv only (on mine you had to log in with your own details), aircon, tea/coffee, free bottled water. Cold breakfast option (set price of €10 - not €8 as shown on the website). Airport pick-up is now also €50 (more than shown currently on website).
Rooms modern but.mine was starting to look slightly tired. In theory it was a ‘suite’ suitable for four (two small rooms) but this would have been extremely cramped, particularly as each room had only a ‘space saver’ type wardrobe ie. wardrobe rail coming out from the wall with a mirror in front and no other storage and a sofa bed in the ‘living room’.
Despite the website description of each room with (only) a power shower, mine had a shower over the bath.
Service was average: front desk tried to be helpful but local knowledge was lacking. Bed was made each day, but tea/coffee/water were not refreshed and used glasses and mugs were not cleaned. Despite this, towels WERE refreshed daily and there was no option (card or other mechanism) to get this stopped. I was surprised: it seems that saving water and energy had passed the hotel by entirely.
In conclusion: compared to other prices and areas of Athens I paid a reasonable amount, but given the reviews had expected more from the hotel, although I couldn’t honestly say that it was bad, just ‘average’.

PPuay Teck OngThe exterior of the hotel look inviting; however when we walked through the front door you can feel the heavy curtain around the lobby have not been clean for long time. All the sofa in the lobby are covered with some sort of clothes I guess it is to cover the old and uninviting sight. The check in process was straight forward and friendly.
None of the light on the stairs are working and I had to use the flash light on my phone to light a path up and down the stairs, could be dangerous if you need to evacuate the hotel quickly.
The room door has key card slot but I guess it is broken as I needed a physical key to unlock the room door and a keycard to turn on the electricity, the room size is good and high ceiling. The bathroom has no hook for the handheld shower head so not so convenient to have a shower, the water also not always hot enough.
The air conditioner was blowing warm air even though the dial was set to cold and it made the room so more warmer and uncomfortable to sleep. The hotel reviews seem to suggest this is one of the common issue people has been complaining about for more than 10 years!!!! I ended up open all the windows to cool the room down and this invited traffic noise all night long.
The hotel has been neglected for way too many years and surprisingly still in business????
