The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable of the local significant places. They told me about the changes with the National libraries of Greece (which I went to visit and found it was closed!) and told me where to go instead. Close to metro, market, attractions etc and staff is 24 hrs!

I was on the third floor and no lift. The stairs are wide with handrails and solid so are safe to take my small case and backpack but it was not easy to go up and down plus no info about the stairs on the website or at least I couldn’t see it.

The location is great, it is at walking distance from the Acropolis and from many bars and restaurants. The receptionist ( sorry don't know his name but he was from Palestine) was very friendly and useful. He answered to all of my questions and gave me good tips about the area. I had only girls in my dormitory and we got along pretty well and we visited the town all together and went to the restaurant too.

The area is one of the best but weirdly enough, it looks sketchy . As a solo female traveler I didn't like some of the streets close to the hotel but it was only at night that I didn't feel comfortable but most of the time I was with the girls I met at the hotel so it was ok. At the last floor of the hotel, they are sometimes drunk foreigner guys so just stick to your floor!

The staff was very nice and understanding and let me switch (with no extra fee) to a girl's dorm that was on a lower floor. The people were nice and friendly.

The shared kitchen space is actually on the roof and there's only a fridge and microwave. Luckily I had a plate and cutlery of my own. Also I think there were bed bugs because I have a bunch of red itchy spots on my body..

Actually I liked the fact that this is a cheap hostel with corresponding standards (good value for money, but a few oddities and imperfections as you might expect in this price range... nothing bad, just not luxury but what do you expect ;)). As a not too picky backpacker I feel at home in these kinds of places. The travelers I met at the hostel were very nice too, way more open to friendly conversations and such than in the previous, more "posh" hostel I was at right before in Athens. The location is also great. Don't be fooled by the maybe disconcerting look of the street the hostel is in, it's a perfectly safe neighborhood. You'll be very close from the highly touristic areas of Monastiraki and the historic center as well as from Omonia, which is a bit more sketchy (I don't really recommend hanging out near the main Omonia square at 2 in the morning even though it is much better than it used to be...), but also full of nice and more authentic places tourists don't go to very often... Personally I like it. A bit further away but still largely within walking distance I can recommend the Keramikos area, there are nice bars and restaurants over there and they're not only frequented by tourists. I know I'm a tourist too, but some are annoying ;)

The hostel has various imperfections, like a few missing shower heads, sometimes capricious air conditioning (but usable with a bit of fiddling), kitchen not in such a good shape... But in my opinion, nothing really bad given the price. The "biggest" downside for me was the absence of lockers in the room (there seemed to be some in the common areas, but I didn't ask if I could use one). I just hid my valuables in a way that seemed safe enough to me, I don't think there's much risk really.

It was walking distance from all the big attractions I was able to make friends within the dorm environment

There was no lift and carrying 22kg of luggage up 4 flights of stairs was exhausting There was nowhere to personally wash clothes

I would like to mention before I rented this hostel I read all the feedback and knew all the minuses and pluses. The location is excellent close to everywhere. I had good memories about Athens. I wonder to thank all staff

I accomplished not like the woman who lives there. I gave all my feedback to the reception. Once I want to mention the woman came every day and cleaned all toilets and bathroom. But the shower doors were visible and at first, I did not know. After I waited either night or early morning. From outside I could see others shapes.

Excellent, helpful staff on multiple occasions and round the clock service, clean rooms with bathrooms that were easily shared and felt separate from the mixed dorms for the most part. Amazing location walking distance to all the key sites and metro stations as well as markets and plentiful food places.

Lots of stairs which is fine for the most part but beware if you have mobility issues or heavy suitcases. Bathroom doors are slightly transparent, you can’t really see anything but it feels a little exposed.
