"I messaged my ex who was in Athens to try and sleep at his accommodation. My room had a smell of dog food and the man in the bunk across quite literally talked to himself, took loud calls, and was constantly farting. The staff where nice but I struggled to socialise at this hostel - maybe a positive of you are wanting to work. I spoke with others and they didn't seem to have a roommate as like I did; but yeah, I wouldn't be staying here again. "

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.

"The receptionist (male) is rude and paranoid. I called the police on him because he refused to give me a receipt and he was harassing me from the time I checked in. He was psychologically harassing me and was threatening to kick me out because he did not likely question about the neighborhood if it's safe or not. I was appalled and traumatized by his attitude. I filed a police report for harassment and refusal to issue a receipt. Racist and inhospitable service. Will not recommend to anyone....
