Well, I have stayed for three weeks in May at this hostel and I would definitely recommend this place to stay. Let's start with breakfast: Good choice of many things - Greek yogurt, vegan cheese, different drinks, olives, salad, fruits, sausages, eggs and cereals with milk. In nutshell, totally worth 5 €. Then room and bed (I were staying in girls room): There were overall 10 beds. Probably you would say that it is too much, but there were approximately 5 girls who were staying at the same time. Cleaning ladies were very nice and they clean each room every day with soap. They change bed sheet every 3 days. Actually, entire hostel smelled so good (soap). I already miss that smell. Staff: Very friendly and always ready to help, especially in reception! :) Rooftop: This hostel has party every night. Sometimes were too crowded, but definitely the most beautiful place to see Parthenon at night. Drinks are not free, but if you want just stay and spend your time without buying anything that it totally fine too. Launch room and kitchen: My best place in hostel. Any time you can meet someone new during cooking or just eating your lunch. If you are not a party person (like I am), than don't worry, you would definitely enjoy your time or with friends in launch room, first floor. (I would say that it is second floor, but in Greece they count floors in a different way :) ) Kitchen is clean. Everyone who cook, clean their plates after using them. There are two big fridges. And another terrace where you can also eat. You can order food as well. I hope I didn't miss anything. Overall, I would like to come back to this place again if I would have a chance to travel to Athens again. Score to this hostel 10/10

It was my fourth time to stay in this hostel in the last 2 years, It is a very clean place and the staff is very friendly. Also the room is very comfy. The location is almost near to every place in the city. Every time I will go to Athens I will stay there.

Great hostel at the heart of Athens Monastiraki and Psiri neighborhoods. I slept in an 8 bed mixed room which was almost empty. Facilities in the room are in good shape, there are two bathrooms in the room with 2 toilets and showers. Beds included clean linen. You can get a towel from the reception for an extra fee of 2 euro. The room has a dryer and a window. The room has adequate space even if fully occupied. The common area is located on the first floor with a bar, pool table, sofas and music..there is an all you can eat breakfast for 5 euro. I ate outside but the breakfast looked quite nice. There is an ATM at the reception, there is a laundry service that costs 7 euro for up to 5 kg and returns to you after 4-5 hrs. The staff were nice and helpful. Monastiraki station is just a few minutes walk. Staff

Most beautiful view from the rooftop! All the facilities are modern and clean. The room I stayed in even had a little balcony and a lot of light during the day. The staff is very nice and helpful and you can easily store your luggage there if you arrive earlier or after check out. The common area/ kitchen is very comfortable and has an AC - if you want to escape your room a bit you can chill there or on the little terrace or rooftop. At first the street where the hostel is located seemed a bit sketchy, but if you walk for a minute everything's fine.

- It was not possible to switch off/ regulate the AC during the night, so I would wake up with throat pain - if you want a towel you have to rent one for 2€

Very conveniently located, walking distance to almost everything of note, like Acropolis, Plaka Monestiriaki, Psirri and Syntagma. Near the metro station of Omonia, which is very central. The hostel itself has good rooms, is quite clean, has a really good common area and a fantastic rooftop bar with stunning views of the Acropolis. Good facilities and clean. Very good choice.

The area is a bit run down...although there's no actual danger as such (we used to return late at night), you can tell this is the more un-gentrified central part of the city. The rooftop bar music plays till late though we didn't have any issues with it.

Loved the gorgeous staff & generosity of many hours for breakfast and delicious greek yoghurt with native honey with endless Nutella! Stella at night reception was my highlight! She helped me sort out three travel changes and meals vouchers and trusted advice for best greek treat deliveries! Omonia region is Athena's crumbling disaster suburb, but the the kindness of Algerian & diaspora community shows you the biggest hearts from Africa to the Middle East all becoming new Europeans. The four bed dormitories are blissful with seasoned travellers from all over the world and all ages! You will learn Arabic, French, Berber, German and of course Greek! Wish every hotel had Stella welcoming us at check-in reception! ☀️🌸💐👑🩷

It felt new, taken care of, clean, organized. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The rooftop has an amazing 360• view of the city. It’s a walking distance from a metro, and a walking distance from the all the nice restaurants. We were ‘warned’ about the location but honestly we didn’t feel anything that was unsafe.

We were two friends and we took a private room because we wanted to avoid the dorms, it was smaller than expected. The bathroom is pretty see through (which you can see from the photos) but it was clearer than I thought. So if you’re booking a double room be prepared to challenge your intimacy.

The staff were incredible! The front desk being open 24/7 really helped because you always knew there was going to be somebody there when you needed assistance. They were happy to answer any questions you might have and you could store your luggage in their luggage room if you had a long time between checkout and your flight. Location was in between Omonia and Monastiraki so everything was close by and easily accessible, felt a little unsafe the first night because the area seemed a bit sketchy but you got used to it and the location turned out to be amazing! The rooms were cleaned every day and the beds were clean and neatly made when you arrived to check in. You also had a spacious personal locker in your room, but you have to bring your own lock for it. I didn’t participate in any hostel activities, nor did I go up to the rooftop, I just slept in my room. This was not because it didn’t seem interesting enough to try out but because I was always out sightseeing so I didn’t have time. Therefore I have no feedback to give on that but I heard from my roommates that they were happy and content with the activities planned by the hostel:) All in all a very nice experience for my very first hostel stay. Thank you so much, I will definitely be returning!

The rooftop bar was great and the common room was comfortable. It’s reasonably close to the city center and fun bars. Despite the downsides, I’m glad I choose this over other places because of the location and common space.

As a single woman, the immediate surrounding area was a bit sketch. The showers always got water all over the room and we weren’t provided any way to clean it so the room was constantly wet. The air conditioning in my room did not work well at all so I was constantly sweating and sleep wasn’t comfortable. They turn the ac off during the day and you have to ask for it to be put back on each night. One night they never came to turn it on and no one was able to sleep.

Perfect hostel. Comfy beds, nice location, big common area 24h, amazing rooftop with a bar. This hostel has everything a backpacker needs

Maybe some ppl who work in the reception should be more friendly
