Pros +
- very convenient walk to the square. bakery across the street amazing!! The terrace view was amazing at night but just happened to see a sign posted about the view because we really were not provided much information upon check in. the vibe was awesome!
- Staff was super helpful
- Location, vibe, staff, and common area.
Cons -
- The staff was personable if we asked questions but they were not forthcoming on their own to interact. We did not have a good concept that this is a hostile for part of the property so we were unfamiliar with the "culture" and such of a hostile.
- No outlets in the bathroom.
- My bed :( the mattress felt like it had lived for generations before it carried me through the night.

The best hostel i ve been so far was the vagabonds belfast. As it toured out this hostel I following the vagabonds belfast. But besides this coincidence. I appreciate very much the 8 days I stayed at this hostel. Nothing to complain about. A new favorite place in Europe ❤️?
All good?
Great location, en-suite dorm, big lockers, nice lounge, great little rooftop terrace, small kichen, friendly staff.
No breakfast options on site (only coffee). The breakfast at the sister hotel was mediocre (and pricey, for what it was) but was the only option in the neighborhood before 9am. Also, there was (temporary) construction noise on the street by 7:30-8am
- Clean and quiet. - Strong wifi for remote work. There is quiet space for working. - Staff are very nice and helpful. - Super close to major attractions.
Location was perfect. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Surprise treats (popcorn, movie night, wine) were very nice. Music in the lobby was always good.
It wasn't hostel's fault but during my stay, there was a road construction which started very early in the morning that made too much noise.
First time in a mixed dorm (usually take female dorm) and everyone was kind and consideration
It was clean and comfortable. The staff were nice and helpful. I booked female room and It was nice that the women’s bathroom was separate. Location was good.
I wish there was a plug in the bathrooms.
The location and the facilities are good. The staff was very helpful and nice. I’d stay there again for sure!
The lobby and terrace are getting closed around 23:30. And the other room they mentioned is not having the same temperature, not feeling that nice to spend time.
The property was clean, quiet, with a friendly staff! Location is easy to get to and in great spot to easily get to all the sights. Staff is helpful and friendly! Also the Acropolis is viewable from rooftop!! Great value!!
Everything was great!
Good staff
They charged for towels for lockers , ridiculous, I rather it be included in the price, the place is super noisy, did not sleep all night
The location was fantastic, and the rooftop was a standout, with a fantastic view of the acropolis.
The social aspect of the hostel could be better facilitated by the direction. I think that the restaurant aspect of it where people have breakfast kinda encourages people to stay within their pod and not mingle with others. Overall, it was okay, but most of it was really bare minimum in terms of what you’d expect from a hostel. The rooms were very humid and there are no curtains so there is little privacy there. I knew this going in, but this is certainly something that could be improved on. Something unfortunate happened during my stay, which I won’t get into detail about, but I felt as though the staff didn’t fully take accountability for the situation and made me feel weird about it which was too bad :/
Close to metro and downtown Athens.
Everything is extra. Towels are not provided but you can rent for 3€. Soap and shampoo also not provided but they are happy to provide at a cost. Locks are not provided but they will sell you one. One toilet shared among 6. Luckily we didn't have any issue but i could see a problem at times. Beds have no privacy screen either.
Great location, clean accommodation and breakfast was delicious
Location. Staff. Rooftop
Not much socializing
I loved the building, the bed and all the service in general, they have all the facilities a traveler needs.Without doubts I will get a book again here.
The location is excellent, the staff is awesome, and the rooms were clean. The rooftop terrace was awesome at night
The area can feel sketchy at times, no parking or deals for parking.
The interior is really nicely designed. Very clean in the communal areas. I met some amazing people while staying there. Comfortable beds. Daily cleaning service. Very nice and friendly people working at the reception. They will do their best to accommodate every need you may have. They also organise various activities during the week i.e. movie night with popcorn ?
I originally booked a 4 bed female dormitory room, but when l arrived it turned out there was no bottom bed available in that room. They told me if l wanted to have a bottom bed l would need to move to a 6 bed female dormitory room, which l did, but they refused to give me the difference back which on booking.com was 7 € between 4 bed and 6 bed dormitory rooms. The blond woman, who l assume was a manager, kept telling me they did not do any refunds. If they do not do any refunds, they could have offered me something else extra for that i.e. a free towel or a fee cocktail but instead she was just telling me right in my face "no refunds". This is not, in my opinion, amazing hospitality they claim they offer. There is no tea or any coffee in the communal kitchen. You need to get your own if you want to have a cup of tea or coffee. It would have been nice if there were some tea bags and coffee in the kitchen. Does not cost a lot but again hospitality. Due to the Central location it can get extremely noisy during the night. People partying right outside your bedroom windows which was pretty bed when l was there outside the high season. Cannot even imagine how noisy it is in the summer.
Highly recommend! the staff there was really helpful and friendly. The lobby and the terrace could offer you a cozy and calm public area. And the room is very clean, had staff come to clean every day. must go!!!
