    The pillow is too hard to sleep (I prefer more flat and soft pillow). No curtain for privacy. Quite noisy area if you want to sleep peacefully. Location is not so center.

    Very clean and very fancy and lux facilities. They make event to connect with other guest.

    This was my first hostel experience, and I am very pleased by it. Very, very sweet and helpful people, making sure I have everything I need. Extremely clean rooms and washrooms. If you forget something- they have it available at really cheap. Contrary to belief, thee area is lively, and the safety remains paramount. No random person can enter the hostel, unless escorted by a member. Nice little area at the back with cool breeze. The hostel also tries to promote social gatherings, which is much appreciated. Was nice to meet some really nice people, and make new friends. Fat wifi, equipped kitchen, everyday cleaning, truly wonderful. I thought I forgot something in the hostel, and I had to bother them again, but they were very kind and sweet to entertain me even after my checkout and assist me wherever they can! Very thankful experience, and I do hope to come back again soon! Thankyou!

    It was off-season and there were few guests. So not great for people who want to socialize.

    There was not so much socialising, but it was winter and not many people there. The doors in the toilets are very heavy and close very fast. So it's a bit dangerous ;)

    It was very clear and the kitchen was very well equipped and clean too. I liked the design in the rooms. The bed was very comfortable and the duvet was warm and comfy.

    Families with kids should not be at the same floor with others. The hostel was amazing but me and my roommates also could not sleep at all cause of kids fights, yells and running around hall and hitting the doors.

    Angelina was super kind,-. The hostel was clean and new. Location was okay i would stay there again.

    only minor thing. the hostel doesnt provide laundry service you have to go to laundry on the street. not a big deal but its easier when I can just give it to someone and take the clotes but at least I have new experienice.

    I have spent 10 days in the hostel in november, I have met great people, maybe just a coincidence. staff was great. I liked the kitchen, the garden, there are lot of restaurants in neighbourhood in pedestrian zone which is kind of rare in athens

    Everything was honestly good.

    The location is very central - close to everything with plenty of nice cafes and restaurants nearby. The hostel is very very clean. It is a very small hostel feels almost like a B&B in comparison to hostels abroad. It has a lovely vibe about it. Facilities are all new and modern. The staff at the hostel are so kind and friendly. I had such good chats with Anastasia (I'm definitely not spelling this correctly and I apologize). He was so welcoming throughout my stay here and helpful with all my queries. Even on my last day here himself and his other coworker helped me out so much with superglueing my suitcase back together and then when i got superglue all over my hands helped me remove it lol. The beds are extremely comfy and clean which is a priority. They are actually v big for single beds. Kitchen facilities are brilliant. Lovely hostel, lovely energy here and honestly a 10/10 experience being here. I couldn't recommend enough and I will be back!

    The showers were lacking locks on doors which is a major disadvantage as you have no privacy whatsoever and anyone could walk in as you’re in there, I don’t know why it’s so difficult to put locks on the doors, also no hairdryers in the showers. Depending on the room you get you may have windows facing the bar outside which makes the it super noisy at night and uncomfortable to sleep

    Overall great location, quite close to the metro station, friendly staff and facilities, very clean rooms and nice outdoor area, have extra activities to meet people such as pub crawls

    Not super sociable hostel, but I didn’t mind it. The bathroom floors (floor one) were quite often flooded because of the showers, not sure why so (a bit annoying to step into lots of water often)

    Very clean, quite central, lively area at night (in between 2 busy bars). Convenient location to get to/from the airport. Staff is helpful. The building inside is lovely (and did I already say clean?)
