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 .

15/10 recommend this place! Renovated, close/walking distance to everything, very helpful staff, very nice that they have daily housekeeping (unusual for a hostel..). Easy check in/out. Only complaint is the rented towels: for god's sake, worst towel I ever encountered in my life so bring your own lol And it would be nice if the showers didn't make the whole bathroom floor wet.. Very cool crowd though, tips of activities to do etc. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Great hostel
Loved the hostel, very clean and efficient. The location is great and they have a nice rooftop with beautiful views towards the Acropolis. Breakfast was decent but it’s free so it’s all good. The staff was super nice, especially Stephanie, very helpful when needed and made my stay super enjoyable. If I’m ever coming back to Athens, I’m def tempted to stay here again.
