    I know it is a low budget stay, but rooms still have to be just for guests, not also for storage. Everything in the hostel is old and kind of smelly.

    Good location

    Late booking on my part, they were quick to confirm/reply, but didn't have bed made. Automatic lights in bathroom turning off whilst in shower. Was put on top bunk with very loose guard (1 screw, when others had 4) Bed bugs found by other people and I got covered in bites. Staff seemed unwilling to admit working there, but was friendly / helpful

    In-between tour bus stops and metro stations, near restaurants/nightlife, excellent location, although next to busy road, was quiet on my side of building. Kitchen had airfryer, large fridge and most things needed.

    I did not like the facilities. Most of the shower heads were broken. The doors in the shower stalls are made of cheap thin plywood. Because of the bad doors and broken shower heads, there were puddles of water all the time in the shower after people took a shower.

    The location is very good, I am glad I paid a little extra and was right in the city center. It is close to everything, good restaurants, the main street, the historic central market, the ancient Agoda, the Acropolis, subway and tram stations, etc. Overall, I had a good experience, and would stay again. I would also recommend it.

    Toilets are small and some showers are broken. The aircon switches off in the middle of the night and gets really warm and stuffy during summer.

    Great location within the city center and a walking distance to everything. Beds are comfortable.

    Windows of my room faced the busy street so it was very noisy even in the evening. Rooms are tiny, you can hardly breathe in it. There was no hot water in the shower (I tried multiple times), the cabins are also very small, you can barely move. The reception works 9 to 5 so I couldn’t ask anyone to help me. One more thing is that I bought 2 beds for myself and my partner who couldn’t go last minute. And the bed for him was either taken by someone else or easily not done after another guest.

    Location is great and easy to find. Common bathroom is relatively clean. Cute letter for the guest checking in after reception working hours. Good recommendations for food and activities

    I didn't know the room was going to be sold out: One roommate kept giving me weird looks (thankfully nothing bad happened), and one never stopped snoring. The street was very noisy as well.

    I was looking for an inexpensive place to crash for just a few hours as I had an overnight flight. The check-in instructions were clear, the bed was clean, as well as the bathroom. Exactly what I needed.

    I stayed in the ground floor. The walls in the unit is not soundproof. I could hear other guests talking in the common area; guests dragging their suitcases along the stairs; and any other slight noises. These disturbances happened in the middle of the night while we were trying to sleep and woke us up multiple times.

    Location is close proximity to shops and restaurants, including Acropolis. It is also a short walk to the X95 bus stop, which is where you can take the public bus to/from the airport.

    Bed bugs... There aren't any shelves or boxes in the room. Also, I was in a female dorm and I felt uncomfortable that a man, who works there, couple of times came in the room without further informing us or even knocking. It shouldn't happen - at least in the other hostels I've been to, it never happened.

    There is a kitchenette and a large common space - tables and sofas. The location is great!

    Facilities were a little run down and the toilets were constantly out of toilet paper. But other than that everything seemed quite clean.

    Was very close to everything within the city and very easy to find coming off the train. Super easy check in and out and the staff were lovely!
