The hostel was within distance to everything. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. If you ask the staff, they'll give you great recommendations on what and where to eat. The bed was comfy and didn't make loud noises when I turned. Room was cleaned every day. There was a bathroom in my room which was also very cleaned.

Poland
We booked a private twin room. It was very spacious and clean, and even had a balcony. In the hostel itself it had a lovely common space, that has a nice bar. The best thing about the place was the view from the rooftop bar. The bar on the rooftop was closed as it is winter but was still able to go up and enjoy the view. I went to several rooftop bars in Athens and the view from the hostel was my favourite.

It is good value for money, we found it very cheap. The staff helped us with everything we needed and was always there. We booked online for two beds/bunk beds, and they were available in different rooms, but the hostel arranged for us to be in the same room, and we deeply appreciated that. Also, they have great luggage storage to leave before and after check out with big space and great security in the lockers.MirSofiPeople with friends
- 8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 2,074 reviewsThe hotel is nicely located in the city center, in a safe area, close to restaurants and bars. The staff was friendly and happy to provide me tips on the city, restaurants and so on. There is a nice rooftop open to the guests, and I was spending the late nights there looking at the Acropolis. The petit room is a bit small, but I think it’s a good deal for a single traveler on a budget, considering the great location.CristhianaSolo traveller
