We received a warm welcome into this old building set in a quiet side street in the Plaka district, just a 5-minute walk from Syntagma metro station. Our large, high-ceilinged room had one bunk and two singles, sockets for all, and a small washbasin and mirror in the corner. The old, shuttered wooden doors led to a small balcony overlooking the street and an office building opposite. The beds were super comfortable but the blankets were quite thin for the December air, so we had to sleep with the air-con set to 'heat' - which was fine, though not ideal for the environment. There was a shared lockable shower-and-toilet room, a separate lockable toilet, and an unlockable area with a frosted-glass shower cubicle. Modernly decorated and clean, but I imagine not enough facilities for a busy period. The highlight for us after a tiring day exploring the city was the communal room at the end of the tiled courtyard/garden area- a long table with benches for meals, and a living area with rug and woodstove and a giant TV screen connected to Netflix. Boardgames, books and a friendly local cat added to the cozy vibe. Breakfast was packed croissants, fresh fruit, cereals, boiled eggs, simple sandwich ingredients, and coffee and tea. Get there early or you'll lose out, as they serve the bare minimum for guests and the milk goes fast! The old town highlights were just minutes away. Big lockers are available for just 2 EUR (unlimited time). Overall- an excellent place to stay for those on a budget wanting to get a feel for old Athens and who aren't fussy about shared bathrooms and the like. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Thin blankets, too few toilets, the top bunk support rail was not attached.

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, price, and staff. The best value in Athens. The lady at the front desk and the housekeeper went out of their way to help us with laundry and directions. The area is also extremely safe at all hours of the day. There are plenty of cheap places to eat near there as well. Also, if arrive by train, just take the subway. The hotel is between two stops. The subway is safe, and the taxis are expensive. So easy.

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.

Excellent location a stone's throw from restaurants and shops in the old center of Athens. The breakfast is decent in terms of variety, of an acceptable quality, but you have to be there no later than 9 o'clock if you want to find everything it can offer if the hotel is full. The receptionist is kind and very proactive in solving any problem that may arise. A plus is the garden behind the hotel with tables and chairs where residents can socialize.

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.

Great location just 10' from Syntagma. It has a nice garden area for breakfast with a guest cat. Towels are included and there is a socket next to the beds. The receptionist is the best! He answered all my questions and was very helpful.

There is no elevator, so be aware if you have luggage. And keep in mind that it is a hostel. There is noise, the bathroom is shared and the breakfast is very very simple.

Good location. It's a pretty quick walk to the busier parts of the city. but the location itself is quiet (which I liked). Also very close to the metro and buses. Breakfast is also included (yogurt, cereals, coffee, fruit). Overall I felt safe and comfortable here.

The street is not very pretty, and the facilities were okay. Nothing incredible, but comfortable for a few nights.

The receptionist, Christopher, if I remember correctly, was very friendly and respectful. He suggested a full plan for my day in Athens. When I arrived at the hotel at 11 PM, the check-in process was very smooth, and I felt safe. The hotel is located just a 5-minute walk from the Acropolis, so I didn't need any transport to visit the monuments of Athens. I am incredibly satisfied with my stay. Thank you!
