Near train station of Central Athens, for 15 minutes walk (btw the announce from train only saying ”Athina”, some mess).
Connect easily to metro Larissa Station.
You can walk to the central of Athens, including attractions like Ancient Agora and Roman Agora. If you walk further south into the area, the famous Acropolis and the museum can be reached.
Although some comments mentioned the locating area of hotel is a little bit not safe, this is just basic living area of locals (though some root level). Just keep yourself alerts, and they are not willing to border you.
Once you reach the door of hotel, you will find feeling of good safety, there are always securities in front of door of hotel.
Staffs are nice, greeting with you; breakfast provided, same types of choices everyday (I stayed 4 nights), good enough of Western Greek styles.
Rooms are slightly old but tidy, anyway just remember basic facilities are provided e.g. no bottled water, toothbrush, slippers.
In conclude, just a good 3-stars standard hotel, near city center, for budget!
Lastly, just no worry on foods, some 24hr restaurants, maybe that Bread Factory hah

We arrived after 10 PM. I was a bit hesitant about taking a taxi, as I'd seen previous guest comments mentioning safety concerns. However, the area around the airport metro station was quite lively, and the hotel was just a short walk, a few hundred meters, off the main road. The front desk staff were lovely and made us feel very comfortable. Once we got into our room and saw the Acropolis lit up at night, all my worries completely melted away.
Fantastic location! We stayed for 6 nights and explored different parts Athens each day. A reasonable spread of breakfast is provided and a wide variety of food is available near the hotel. All the must see places were within 15 walking minutes from the hotel and most importantly the area around the hotel was very safe.
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.
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😍
A fantastic stay! Location, location, location.
Wonderful bed and clean room. And the breakfast was amazing. We wanted to stay on an extra night but was fully booked. We will be back! Highly recommend. 😊
A hotel close to the city center, metro station, and restaurants. The breakfast is decent but continental. The internet doesn't work, but that's irrelevant as I was in Athens to visit the city.
Hotel Tier is conveniently located near Metaxourghio metro station, just a mere 3 min walk from hotel. From this station, 3 stops to Syntagma which is the city centre.
There are bistros and cafes nearby. We arrived at 1130am and because the room was already cleaned staff checked us in immediately without having to wait till 3 pm. Thank you for that.
Room is very small even though the beds can fit 3 pax with one queen and one single bed. Hardly space to open your luggage. Bathroom is clean but small.
The lift is really tiny that can only fit 1 person with luggage. Staff is very kind, helpful and friendly.
Overall still a comfortable stay for just one night.
This is a budget-friendly hotel. Of course, it won't stack up against luxury hotels. But if you're not looking to spend a fortune on accommodation, it's definitely a solid option. What's more, since leaving Athens, I haven't been so fortunate with my accommodation finds. For the same price, would you rather squeeze into a dorm room at a youth hostel or enjoy your own private space? Having this kind of choice is infinitely better than having no alternative. ROY, definitely worth a return stay.

TTanya Kumagai-BangA fantastic stay! Location, location, location.
Wonderful bed and clean room. And the breakfast was amazing. We wanted to stay on an extra night but was fully booked. We will be back! Highly recommend. 😊
JJason8Very good location, metro station is few minutes away and it is on Airport Blue line route. Shopping and Acropolis are around, central to everything. A rooftop bar with acropolis view and a lower ground storage are a bonus. Though the lift is too small can only accommodate 2 or three people, the breakfast is included.
JJinjidelanlanEverything about the hotel was great. The hygiene was good, the front desk was always staffed, and the facilities were excellent and new. The only issue was the neighborhood; around dusk, there were a lot of suspicious-looking people near the city center, which is a major safety concern in Athens due to serious theft and robbery. However, as long as you're careful and return before dark, it's fine. I really liked the hotel itself. There's also a beautiful rooftop terrace with amazing views.
Mmarian8iaFirst of all shout out to the cleaning ladies they did a great job cleaning my room everyday and I know their work is pretty hard. Second the people at the reception are lovely and kind, very helpful when asking questions and very nice to talk to. The room was even bigger than the pictures I loved it and felt so comfortable. Also nice that they have Netflix!!!
Pame wild will be my go to hotel when I visit Athens again!!
AapatiteThe hotel is very close to the Acropolis and the museum, and is located between two subway stations. However, I personally think it is more convenient to get off at the Acropolis Museum station. The road is relatively flat, especially for tourists pushing large suitcases, they should get off at this station.
GGuest UserVery clean apartment with wonderful views, bed was very comfortable, tea and coffee facilities in the room and a tv. The breakfast was varied and filling with excellent service. The staff were friendly and very helpful with a taxi service which was superb. We would definitely return for a lovely, quiet relaxing stay. It is a little’out of the way’ but definitely worth the stay .
GGuest UserI went on a trip with my kids, and the location is fantastic. The room with the Acropolis window all the time is excellent. I had a great experience in breakfast because I could see a beautiful view of the Acropolis. I woke up so late one day that I almost missed the tour bus, but I was really glad that the staff at the front of the hotel took care of it and showed me how to get on the bus. I would like to thank her very much, and I would like to compliment and publicize the kindness of the staff. This hotel was the flower of my trip to Athens.
TTom KrakowiakWe had a great stay at this hotel. Our room had a balcony and was nice and clean. The location was perfect, within walking distance to the main attractions. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The only downside was that the blinds didn't completely block out the sun.

YYee11We stayed one night at Alekos Apartments 2 and had a pleasant and comfortable experience. The apartment was modern, very clean, and well-equipped — it even had a small kitchenette for simple cooking and Netflix for a relaxing night in.
Although there’s a front desk, the office hours are limited, but not to worry — the owner is super responsive and helpful via WhatsApp. He even helped us arrange transport from the airport to the property at a reasonable fee, which made arrival really convenient.
The self check-in process was smooth and well explained. The apartment felt safe, cozy, and had everything we needed for a short stay. Location-wise, it’s within walking distance to metro stations, making it easy to get to the city centre.
Overall, a great value stay in Athens — clean, modern, and hosted by someone who truly cares about guests’ comfort. Would happily stay again!
