8/10 Very good

Good but not great

We had an okay stay, but experienced the general area as unsafe and noisy at nighttime. Tips - walk from the main square and not any other side streets for the safest route. Otherwise central location and close to metro. Good value for money. Some of the staff were great and very helpful, others were difficult to communicate with. Cleaning fair but could be better. One day our room was unlocked when we got back, which was a little bit concerning.

6/10 Good

Acceptable conditions, not great location.

This hostel was fine, but a little bit strange. Check-in was overall speedy, but they told me they don´t have a relationship with Hotels.com and then somehow found my reservation number in a hand-written book. There was no real interaction other than confirming that their front door panel worked with the code provided. No offer of information or explanation of the hostel - I already had plans, so this was fine for me, but maybe others would appreciate it. The room was acceptable - clean enough, with standard hostel beds (not very comfortable, but certainly fine for a few nights), 2 of 4 lockers were broken. The bathroom wasn´t very clean (I was there for 3 days with other guests coming/going daily and it was clear it as not cleaned daily) and when someone showered, the water would fly all over and wet the floors - a bathmat and longer curtains would have been useful! The air conditioning was strong enough that guests needed blankets to sleep at night. There seemed to always be someone present at reception which made the hostel feel more secure and while they would always buzz me in when arriving at the front door, they basically ignored me otherwise. The neighborhood is really run down and feels unsafe. I was traveling alone (a woman) and nothing happened, but there were a few nervous moments. There seem to be a lot of people sleeping on the street, using drugs, etc. in the immediate area.

Don't stay here, even for just a bed + breakfast.

The room: This place is rough. The room has a stiff bed, toilet, shower, and a chair - that's it. It's all clean and very old. This place is LOUD 24 hrs/day - you can hear people in the lobby 3 stories down, people in the next room talking and kids running around, the cleaning ladies yelling down the halls. It sounded like there was someone in my room yelling at me all night. The hotel: has a helpful person at the desk 24/7 to open the door and help, which is nice. It's very central, 15 mins walk to the tourist spots, good restaurants around, but be aware this hotel is in the back streets of Athens which are sketchy as (not the hotels fault. The breakfast: I paid extra ($29) for breakfast included. When we went to ask for it, they asked us to pay for it, and I said it was included, and the chef looked confused. It was a black coffee/tea, an unopened tin of milk, some sliced bread and a tub of jam and butter. As we finished, another lady said "you pay now?!" and I showed them my booking and said no. Then I came back to the hotel that night and the desk lady said 'You need to pay for breakfast!". It was so unpleasant being harassed about this, for such a basic breakfast, we skipped it on the next day. We stayed 2 nights for $100/night just as a place to sleep and get breakfast before we flew out. It was so loud and uncomfortable, and the staff so aggressive about a rubbish breakfast, that we didn't even get that. I wouldn't recommend this hotel, sorry.

2/10 Poor

Worst three nights in my life. I do not recommend this Hotel. They had children from France 50 of them and there was no control a lot of screaming, running up and downstairs and then they rented a room to a lady who was a sociopath horrible experience I will not ever use them again.

A youth hostel, like it was normal in the past. Just want to say "old school hostel", nothing fancy, as expected.

4/10 Fair

The hotel building was acceptable, but the lower ranking is due to the location of the hotel in the city. The neighborhood is not a good area where I would walk around by myself, and I am traveling solo. I hadn’t been in this part of Athens before, so I didn’t know the area has lots of graffiti, many vancant buildings, and drugs being used on the street. When the taxi driver dropped me off at the hotel, he warned me to not go out by myself; he recommended ordering food to be delivered to the hotel. He didn’t even advise my going out during the day. When I asked the front desk person if the area was safe, he answered “Yes!” resoundingly, contrary to what I could see and feel for myself. My room had a balcony overlooking the street. I love hotel balconies and am willing to pay a few more euros to have one, but the street was decrepit so there really wasn’t anything to see or enjoy - disappointing. The breakfast offered by the hotel was meager. The hotel lobby was being renovated when I was there, so it’s definitely becoming a nicer. If the building could be picked up and placed in a different part of town, I would have given it a higher ranking.
