This place was decent. We stayed here on two occasions. Each room has: - bathroom and shower (number of beds depends on what you pay for) - AC unit - Lockers (bring your own locks) - Linens and pillow - most have terraces They also have a safe deposit box at the front desk. There are multiple common areas, one... More

A bit out of the way, but a short metro ride gets you anywhere in Athens. Staff were fine, helpful and pretty funny. Rooms were basic but manageable, although ours did have a crack in the toilet so water leaked all over. Shower was basically a hose pipe with a sprinkler attachemen on the end, and pretty weak at that.... More

This hostel is flexible with bookings and the staff are extremely friendly. They let me change my booking and gave me great tips for my Athens stay. Here is always somebody at reception. Area is probably not the best. But it is one of the cheapest places to stay and i had no issues. Rooms and showers are fine for... More

We took a 6 bed room for 3 people, and the price was reasonable. Free Internet, clean rooms, and a good location with the metro at 200m. The receptionist at night is quite rude, thus the rest of the staff is really nice and helpful. You can cook on your own in a modern and well furnished kitchen, and a... More

I was staying in this hostel for a few days only, so take my words with a grain of salt. + cheap + close to the metro + clean beds + all-you-can-eat breakfast included, although very restricted selection (bread, butter, one kind of jam, tee, orange juice) + air-conditioner + free-internet - location is smelly - no public kitchen -...

I stayed in this hostel during my backpacking vacation. The rooms are ok and the best is you get free Internet and 24hrs reception that is as good as a tourist information. The hostel offers breakfast and dinner for a low cost. The only thing I could complain about is the location. It is about a 30 minute walk to... More

The hostel was clean, but not really near anything you'd come to Athens to see. There's a nice souvlaki place around the corner. There was fast wifi available in the room which was nice. My biggest (and really only) complaint was the air conditioning in the rooms. It was VERY hot while we were there and at night, I would... More

We found the hostel to be a nice cheap option within a comfortable walking distance of the sights (and close to the metro when you get tired). The staff were friendly, the rooms were clean, with an ensuite bathroom and 4 beds (2 bunks) to a room. One thing we weren't so keen on was the fact each room only... More
