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

The hostel was close to the red line metro, not too bad of a walk from the train station, and a decent number of restaurants nearby. The hostel itself was well maintained, and had AC as well as a rooftop bar which was pretty popular after dinner time. They also have qr codes everywhere in case you want to order food directly to the hostel. Overall great value for the hostel, I'd book it again if ever passing through Athens.

The hostel is not in a touristy area, and not really a place you want to hang out in after dark. This means I'd get up and take the metro to another area of town. Unfortunately the pool table was out of order, so the only thing to do at the hostel itself was the bar. The beds themselves were comfortable, although a bit squeaky, sometimes walking me or others up at night. Lastly--and this is something the hostel can't control-- since it's in the cheaper side, lots of younger patrons who may not be as considerate with noise or lights tend to pass through.

I was impressed of how reasonable the prices especially at the roof top bar were. Riga and Budapest are way more expensive in that case. I also loved the location and the general vibe in the hostel with the staff and the guests. The location of the hostel is also very good since everything is close by like restaurants, cafés, bars, Monastiraki etc.. It is definitely one of the better hostels in Europe, so keep up the good work. Efxaristw poli komşu!

The only thing I didn‘t like is the elevator. Having only 1 elevator for 8 floors is way to less and you have to wait very long until it arrives. But that’s something you can‘t change because of the structure of the building.

Decent hostel with a huge common room and good cheap breakfast (5 euros). Rooftop bar might be a draw for some (it was raining when I stayed and didn't really use it). I had a single room and the bathroom was modern and the room was a good size. It's something of a party hostel- they give you a free welcome shot - and was mostly filled with younger travelers.

My room was one floor below the roof bar, and it was pretty loud- both from the DJ, and then the drunk patrons hanging out in the stairwell and in the hallway to continue the party when the bar closed. Both nights, sleeping before 1 am was not really feasible.

The beds are comfortable and I appreciated the curtains to provide some privacy in a 10-bed room. The showers always have a strong flow of hot water. There is an option to do laundry and dry the clothes right away. The staff is friendly and helpful.

The bathrooms are super small, the entire floor is wet the moment you turn the water on. There is only an overhead shower, without a handheld sprayer. The breakfast is beyond basic. For 5 euros you'd be better off just grabbing a gyros outside, and it would be cheaper too. The location is sketchy. It's close to the city center, but the area is full of shady characters.

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.

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.

the breakfast was good for a quick and inexpensive bite kf food, the hostel is very close to monastraki square which is close to the acropolis. the rooftop was also very fun, the drinks were cheap and it was busy every night so it was easy to make new friends.

once you go out of the hostel it can feel a little unsafe however it is only for a street and during my week long stay nothing happened. i would just say be careful but besides that i really enjoyed everything about the hostel.

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
