    Cute Hostel next to Keramikos Metro Station

    • 12-Bed in mixed Dormitory Room

    The price could have been a little bit lower, taking into account that it is a hostel (a space where normally would have been for 2 twin rooms is used by 12 people) and that it's Athens and not Helsinki for example. But of course that's my point of view.

    Nice bunker beds. I got a feeling of privacy even if I was staying in a room with 11 more guests. Excellent location near the Keramikos metro station. The hostel was really cute. Shared bathroom was comfortable and fully equipped. I was even provided with a towel, free of charge!

    However, the dorm room I stayed in this time wasn't as good as the previous ones! It was small & the distance between the 2 bunk beds was very narrow. So I much prefer the bigger ones, with a balcony where I can sunbathe 😄

    Regular in this very well-located cozy hostel. I like it's lobby/reception area where I can sit for hours not getting bored! I will keep comin back:)

    Good experience in general

    I'd like to note that my review reflects my personal experience, and while it's important for others to consider, it's subjective. I've stayed in many hostels where the reception staff are welcoming and provide useful city information. However, in this case, I found the communication awkward, and I didn't receive any helpful information. The bed was comfortable, but the room was consistently dark, and there was a sense of discomfort in making any noise during the day as it seemed everyone was asleep. While I appreciate the combined toilet and shower, having them inside the room led to a slight odor issue (which can be unfortunately normal to happen but just to let you know) Lastly, the storage space, essentially a hole in the floor, left my clothes smelling of mold. These are just my observations and may not be representative of everyone's experience. In general, for price that you pay you feel completely fine.

    The hostel is located in a very good area. The tube station is only a 2-minute walk away (just 2 stops to the center) and you can comfortably walk to the Acropolis and the city center in about 15 minutes. I traveled by myself, and the area is filled with locals, so when you return at night, there are people around, making you feel safe. It's a nice area, but if you're in the center of Athens at late night, especially alone, I recommend taking a bus because the path can be empty and poorly illuminated, which might feel unsafe. I will come back as I like where it is if I compare where the others hostels and the areas, it is cheap and safe. The experience was in general very nice.

    Very noisy at night/into early hours with many bars/clubs in the area...not for those who want to sleep. Also the hostel did not have many other guests in mid-March even though there were plenty of tourists in Athens.

    Close to metro & only 1 stop to center with communal area offering plenty of comfy seating for the free but basic breakfast.

    Had two different bedrooms and the second one was clearly just finished , which meant that many things were not really working fine , clean or smartly thought. Breakfast was available but didn't really present any decent options. The area where the hostel is placed is not that close to the touristic attractions and would say it feels a bit sketchy to go alone around . A bunch of nice bars around though

    Beds were decently comfortable, soft mattresses. Each room had its own bathroom and there is a rooftop available, as well as a small kitchen. Easy to get from airport

    I liked the how organized the hostel is…there is a huge place for breakfast and after breakfast you can seat there to drink coffee or tea and that is for free the whole day …also there is a roof at the top that you can use whenever you want …there is also a kitchen if you wanna cook something…in general everything was clean and the location is amazing is near to the most famous night clubs in Athens and also near to the metro station (3 mins walking

    The neighborhood is great for nightlife if you're into it, but might be a get noisy. Although the place is in a quiet area and I had no problems sleeping. Not super close to the historic center. 15-20 min walk to the Acropolis and Ermou street.

    The staff was great. The rooms and bathrooms were clean. They provide you with towels. Each bed has an electric socket, light and a curtain in case you need some privacy. Nice terrace on the top floor

    I believe we did not have the best luck with the placement of our space in the room, as the area we were located in did not receive any daylight and getting fresh air without completely opening the curtains was a challenge. If you are not a light sleeper, it might be very difficult to wake up. The bathroom was in an okay condition, a shelf in the shower could have been very helpful however.

    The location is amazing, just a few minutes away from the Kerameikos metro station. There are plenty of places to eat and have a drink close by. The rooftop terrace was a great addition to the hostel and overall experience. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
