The hostel is very well located, in Plaka, very close to the Acropolis, museums, restaurants and bars. Breakfast was simple but good enough. The hostel is clean and has good WiFi.

The bathroom is very small and one of the showers at the main floor has no privacy, just a glass door in the middle of the rooms hall. Also, one of the receptionists is not friendly at all. She did my check in when we arrived at night. I stayed at the hotel 3 nights but every time she saw me during my stay she stopped me to ask who I was, in which room I was staying and request to see my passport in a very unpleasant way.

The location in Athens is excellent for seeing the sights. It's a short walk to the Acropolis and Hadrian's Arch is just over the road. The airport bus stops about a 10 minute walk away from the hotel. We checked ourselves in with no problem after arriving very late from our flight. Information was texted to us in advance by friendly staff. Our room was simple but large and had air conditioning which was brilliant in August! Wifi worked well. The courtyard is a lovely sunny spot for breakfast. There was a wide range of food and drink to choose from for the 'continental breakfast'. The bathrooms are shared but we never had to wait to use the toilets or showers and they were always very clean. It was excellent value for money in central Athens.

The location is great as it is less than 5 mins away from Plaka, the happening center for food, visit to ruins and shopping. The building is a vintage property with modern facilities. Wifi was good and there were two to three charging points. The room and the toilet were very clean, spacious. The breakfast was basic but good. There is an open sitting area inside, attached to the dining hall, which is quite appealing, specially during the evening. The staff were really helpful as they allowed us to keep our luggage inside the property for only 15 euros ( for 3 days) since we had plans to visit a Greek island and again come back to the hotel for another fresh set of booking.

Smaller points : The ac temperature could not be controlled at times and there is no fridge inside. The Syntagma metro and bus stops are 10 mins away. In case you are arriving/ departing with a heavy luggage availing public transportation only, you can face a difficulty. The main door lock is a bit tricky to open but not that annoying I must say.

The location is very close to the main attractions in the centre of Athens. Being off the main road it was also nice and peaceful. I was there when it wasn't so busy so didn't have to wait using the shared bathroom. It was great to have breakfast included especially when I had early starts. The self check in worked fine and there were staff about if help was needed. Staff were friendly and approachable. Very good value for money and peaceful for a youth hostel - not a party place. Good wifi connection at the property and free to connect. Nothing fancy but clean, peaceful and has what you need if you want a base to sleep while you explore beautiful Athens.

Good stay. Clean and well maintained hostel, with cleaners frequently present. Friendly staff, although you don't see them much at reception as the hostel operates on a self-check in basis. However, they are helpful and easily contactable via message or call 24/7, so this was not a problem at all. Good location, close to main street (safe to return late) and a few minutes from a wide range of restaurants. Close to city centre and main attractions. Continental breakfast offered; coffee/ tea, cereals, bread, butter, jam etc. Extra services available at reception (pre-ordered lunch/ dinner meal combos), washing machine access (at extra charge) etc. Cleam rooms, with hanging space and a sink provided in the room. No lockers in the room that I stayed in. Toilets are clean, modern and have a good hot shower.

We liked the location, the breakfast, the room with balcony and AC.

We didn't like the bathrooms. There were only two showers for all the rooms of our floor. One of them was impossible to lock, so anybody could enter while you shower, and the other shower was missing a "wall", so everything gets super wet, and at the same time it gets overflowed because the water doesn't really drain.

Very nice, clean and quiet hostel with little terrasa and super tasty breakfast. The housekeeper ladies take care about it very well.For me ideal. It is in a beautiful area of Athens without many noise and cars on the streets so you can get a good sleep there.There was a little hostel cat 😺 with us every morning at the breakfast. There is TV you can watch and mini living room.I recommend.

A bit cold.But they brought us heater so problem was solved.

The location of the hotel is the best, in the center of everything, walking distance to the museums, public transportation, the Parthenon and restaurants. The staff is super friendly and helpful with information as well as resourceful. They allow me to let my baggage after the checkout, my ferry to Milos was at night. Thank you!

Nothing to complain about. excellent cost benefit. I will just suggest o add a curtain in the bathroom to avoid water everywhere when the shower was on.

The location of the hostel is great. Beds are comfortable and the hostel itself is very quiet and calm. Easy to self check and check out. Also very easy to get here from the airport. The staff was really helpful through private message answering questions.

The room 13 was extremely cold during night. The breakfast was really average, not many options and the place where guests have breakfast is very small and uncomfortable.

Very great location, short walking distance to sightseeing, to Metro station, to bus station,to shopping area, to eatery area. Very comfortable bed, super single, although no private bathroom, a washing sink is provided in the room. The breakfast is out of my expectation, as we were rushing to airport, no chance to sit down at their lovely garden area to enjoy the breakfast, but still prepare packed breakfast for us. Thanks for it!

Just coincidence that there was power circuit error issue in our room on the night we stay, ended up we are unable to on the lights, luckily still have one light can be used. Anyway time to bed, did not create a lot of inconvenience to us.
