I loved my 8 night stay at the City Circus. The building is beautiful and my room (4 bed female dorm with en-suite) was spacious with a locker large enough to fit my suitcase into. Bed very comfortable and all staff are awesome. Note that it isn't a party hostel. Guests range from young to old, all with different reasons for their Athens stay. The night manager is very strict about noise - quiet time in the communal areas is from 23.30. Open plan kitchen is very useful. The street itself is quite tatty (albeit in a very fun and safe area) like much of Athens and there is quite a bit of street noise. The building is historic and they're not allowed to add modern soundproofing. I live in central London so noise doesn't bother me much but please bear this element in mind if you're looking for lots of peace and quiet.

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 The buildings outdated/creepy.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.

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.
