"Amazing people, great location, place is brand new. Jacuzzi and rooftop terrace is lovely. Maria is awesome!
If it is full or close to full, it can be 20 people sharing 2 showers. Downstairs private suite shares bathroom with men’s dorm and is adjacent to smoking area, which is not ideal. Doorbell rings many times through the night. Just things to know. Uber is $50euro from airport. "

Property conditions and amenities are as described, and better. We loved staying in the neighborhood that felt local and outside of the busy touristy area, and is yet so close. We walked to all places we visited in the center, including Lycabettus Hill. If you come unprepared, don't worry, hosts have an excellent welcome guide with tips and information on almost everything ( including phone cards and outlet adapters -for us traveling from USA quite handy).

This place is close to the center of town, but so affordable. My group of four shared a room with a bathroom. The reception was so very friendly. They provide you with a welcome beverage, towels are available for a small fee, fruit and coffee are complimentary in the morning. If you are at all outgoing you can meet interesting people. I’m not into the bar scene, but it’s there and a nice meeting place. We played one of their many games in the common room. Top notch experience!

This hostel was in a great location. Rooms were cleaned daily. The front desk staff were all very kind and helpful. Plenty of WC’s to use.
Note, there is a refrigerator available, but no microwave or toaster to heat leftovers. I was under the impression there was a kitchen, but that wasn’t the case.

The staff were warm and friendly, helpfully offering advice on where to go and what to do. The rooms are clean and tiny, but most have balconies with great views of street life, the Church across the street, and in the distance, the Acropolis. The location could not be better for people wishing to explore the city--right in the heart of the old district. Breakfast on the terrace is not a culinary marvel, but you can have your yogurt and coffee with a gorgeous view of old town Athens and the...

My stay here was excellent. It's a budget hotel of course and I was in Athens for classes so it was perfect for me. It is super clean...the rooms are very well soundproofed from the outside noise and the street it's on is actually quite quiet anyway. The best part was the staff....everyone was extremely professional and very friendly. I speak some greek but they all speak english very well so language would not be a problem for most people.

The Hostel was in a perfect location. The staff was very friendly and helpful with anything we needed. There was a wonderful breakfast set out for us every morning. I loved the courtyard and the breakfast and the hangout room!!! It was so peaceful there. The first night we could hear people outside talking a bit, but after that we got used to it or it wasn't there. The room was big and clean, and ample space for our suitcases. We really enjoyed our stay.

Rooftop bar had amazing view of the Acropolis at night and very reasonably priced cocktails, less than half the cost compared to another rooftop bar nearby. Luggage storage was very handy as I arrived at 8am and check in was at 3pm.

The location is great for visiting the Acropolis; it's about a 10 minute walk and even shorter for the museum. There are plenty of restaurants and vendors in the vicinity. We took advantage of the balcony by having a glass of wine and watching the night unfold. There are two AC units, so whether you're sleeping or relaxing on the couch, you're comfortable. The bed was comfortable and there were extra blanket. Our host was very gratious in her communications with me. But do yourself a favor...

Perfect location for an overnight stay close to the airport! The apartment was spacious and clean and provided everything our adult family of 4 needed for an overnight stay near the airport.
