La ubicación es sin duda la mejor. Fácil de llegar desde el aeropuerto. Vida nocturna y excelentes lugares para comer al rededor. El personal es súper nicee! Las áreas comunes tienen una decoración increíble. Las camadas cómodas quizá lo único que le faltaría sería cortinas en las camas para un poco de privacidad al dormir.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The location is solid because it is near alot of restaurants and bars. However the hostel itself is very boring. The buildings outdated/creepy. Floors creak. If you are on the toilet for longer than 15 seconds still the lights will cut off. Cleaning staff comes in the morning regardless if alseep and just starts talking loud/changing sheets etc. wouldnt stay here again tbh. I went over to yellow square it was night and day difference.

Die Lage ist sehr gut, genau am Rande, wo das Leben beginnt zu toben. Es ist eher ein kleines Hostel, was es gemütlich macht. Aufgrund des historischen Gebäudes ist es jedoch sehr hellhörig. Aber ohne die schnarchenden Frauen wäre es glaub mit Ohropax ruhig genug gewesen. Ansich alles sauber, nur die Toilette neben der Rezeption war jedes Mal schmutzig.

Excellent base camp for city exploring.

First time staying in a hostel and it was great. Really nice common areas with great amenities. The attached Zampano restaurant was convenient for breakfast daily and actually really good. I stayed in the deluxe mixed 4 bed dorm. Mixed for 2/3 nights of my stay. No issues with noise, lights, etc. Excellent location for walking the city. Acropolis is about a 20 minute walk (to the ticket booth). Metro station about a 10 minute walk with carry on and a roller bag. Lots of great places to eat, drink, shop and such. Very lively area at night just a block away.

Quaint place

Quaint place- in a nice area bordering the Psyri / Monastiraki square areas. The hostel was close to a lot of nightlife, restaurants and specialty shops but I found myself walking 10-15 minutes to Plaka everyday for most of the sights and attractions (so 4/5 for location). The building was historic and had a lot of character but also suffered from creeky floors and thin walls which wasnt necessary a bad thing- just part of the experience. My favorite part of the room was having the balcony doors open during the morning and afternoon to let the breeze through. Overall a very comfortable and clean hostel with a diverse mix of guests. We saw older couples, college students and even a family with children in the common spaces. The staff were all exceptional and I look forward to staying here again if/when I return to Athens.
