Decent

It was an ok stay the location is good plenty of restaurants & fast food spots nearby there’s a bar on the rooftop with a nice view of the Acropolis & the bathrooms are well kept if you’re 6’2 or taller these beds won’t be good for you due to the short length and the A/C and was kind of weak other than that it was worth it for the money + free breakfast

Liked: Cleanliness
I stayed for 2 weeks. I chose this property because it was close to the Eureka Greek Language School where I took 18 hours of Travelers Greek. It deserves more stars but it has quirky idiosyncrasies which make getting to 5 asymptotic. The staff is friendly, the breakfast satisfying, the location ideal, the price suitable to my budget, the guests conversational and well travelled. The quirks? The elevator climbs one floor short of its destination, the room temp is best regulated by opening the window, the elevator cabin arrives short of level, the front door often is a ajar and clicks, the common space downstairs doubles as breakfast area and bar so there’s no space for quiet down time. The rooms/spaces were cleaned daily. On the whole there value here and a charming shared experience to be had.

Everything was great, location, breakfast, friendly staff. Only two things to mind are if you are too close to the rooftop you'll hear all the chatter and the AC is very strong, had to sleep with a sweater .

Good and central hostel but...

In general the hostel is good, it's very near of Acropoli, and the beds are very comfortable. The only bad things are: towels not included, you need to pay 2€ for rent and you also need to buy your locker.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The only positive thing I’ll say about my stay here was it was in a great location. It was centrally located and all major areas were within walking distance including the Acropolis. On a negative note, the staff was rude, the rooms were so small I could not even fit my suitcase inside (I kept it on balcony because I couldn’t open it otherwise) , the bathrooms were unclean and overall just gross, you had to pay for a shower towel, and they turn the AC off in the rooms during the day so if you wanted to rest/nap, you’d be miserable because of the stuffiness in the room. This wasn’t my first hostel stay so I wasn’t expecting much but this was just a disappointment.
