We were very please with this hostel especially for the price. It was everything we needed and very clean. I was also surprised that it was incredibly quiet on a Friday night. We were a family of 4 in a private room but my husband and I talked about how we would have loved to backpack through there in our youth! The location is in the heart of plaka- unbeatable! I also found it extremely kind of them to have free coffee and basic breakfast.

Disappointing but cheap

The check in was difficult and the responsiveness of the staff was poor. We waited for over an hour to have our room ready. The room was comfortable but basic. The toilet and shower facilities were less than adequate, and became dirty very quickly. The property was also being painted, so parts of it had a strong smell of paint. Breakfast was poor, but I guess you get what you pay for. The pictures did not reflect what you got. Would stay again, but very much lower my expectations.

The staff was very accommodating and helpful. I needed an early breakfast and they helped me with this. Breakfast was excellent- there were plenty of options (olives, cheese, tomatoes, strawberries, oranges, apples, tea, juice, boiled eggs, cereal, bread, cake... I also loved the neighborhood very clean, quiet, and it felt totally safe. The property was also nice and clean and there was a lovely garden. I could have stayed longer at this location. The only negative for me was that the bed was quite firm, and the exit sign on the wall faced my bed directly and bother me a bit for sleeping.

We have nothing to complain about the staff and cleaness, but our 2nd night was horrible. Someone was allowed to checked in around midnight and then talked on the phone loudly for a couple of hours. We couldn’t sleep at all.

Great location!

I needed a place for one night before boarding a cruise. Easy to find and near Hadrian’s Arch. I was in a private room. It was very spacious and clean with a sink, a mini fridge and a balcony! The bathroom down the hall had nice hot water, but not much water pressure and there was no door or curtain on the shower I used, so the floor got wet and was dirty. However, right after I was done with my shower the cleaning lady came to mop, so it’s not always like that. And the other shower had a door. My only complaint was that the bed was too hard for my old hips. Also, I didn’t get down to the lovely breakfast courtyard until almost the end of the time slot and there wasn’t much left. I still got a little cold meat & tomatoes, some yogurt & muesli and hot tea. Just what I needed. Would’ve been plenty to choose from if you go early. No lift, but the stairs were easy to navigate.
