A lovely, comfortable and clean apartment with an amazing hostess and very cute dog! As a solo female traveller, I could not have felt safer. Having a view over the sea and being not too far from Athens centre by public transport, it was like getting the best of both worlds. But more importantly, it was like finding a home in Athens! I'm very happy I chose to stay here.

GloriaYoung couple - Avg. price/night: £86.377.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 1,434 reviewsIt is very close to the center and convenient for tourist attractions. It is good value for money, we found it very cheap. The staff helped us with everything we needed and was always there. We booked online for two beds/bunk beds, and they were available in different rooms, but the hostel arranged for us to be in the same room, and we deeply appreciated that. Also, they have great luggage storage to leave before and after check out with big space and great security in the lockers.MirSofiPeople with friends
- Avg. price/night: £91.938.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 1,986 reviewsThe hotel is nicely located in the city center, in a safe area, close to restaurants and bars. The staff was friendly and happy to provide me tips on the city, restaurants and so on. There is a nice rooftop open to the guests, and I was spending the late nights there looking at the Acropolis. The petit room is a bit small, but I think it’s a good deal for a single traveler on a budget, considering the great location.CristhianaSolo traveller
