We chose it because of the price/location. Location is wonderful, just in the middle of Plaka. A 10 minute walk from the nearest subway station. Very good price for the location. Room (double ensuite) was decent enough for the price paid (in Plaka!). Wifi was not working by the time we were there. More

This is a superbly located hostel in the heart of the Plaka with an excellent range of bars and restaurants on the doorstep in a safe and tourist part of the city. 5 mins walk to Syntagma Sq and 10 mins to Monastiraki. The hostel is homely and welcoming, with very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. The rooms and common... More

I am in Athens for one night on a budget. The only question I asked in reception is "Do you have wireless internet?" He said yes, so I booked in, as I need it.

There were no in room lockers to lock your... More

It is about a 10-15 minute walk to the night scene.The day staff is very helpful and friendly. The guy who works at night is... More

Friendly staff with a great set-up for any kind of traveller. They have a great protected courtyard where the bar is, so it feels like an inside space, but is actually outside. I really enjoyed my time here and I would certainly stay there again....especially for the location! More

I put "September" but I was actually here in late April, 2010. The price for a single room price was about fifty dollars US, which I think is ridiculously low for a major urban center -- but there's only one single, so be prepared to stay in a common room if it's already taken! I had problems with my debit... More
