Liked: Location, good and cheap walking tour, great first introduction to Athens

Disliked: In the Studios, no common area to meet people Bathroom gets flooded when you take a shower 25 euros for a dorm bed? You basically pay for location

Liked: The staff is really helpful and great. And the walking tour is terrific too. I really enjoyed. Plus, I liked the location. It was just blocks away from the subway station and Acropolis and lots of eateries etc.

Disliked: The stairs. It has a lot of steep and windy stairs and the elevator is only for the service staff.

Liked: Clean, good location, rooms big enough for all six people.

Disliked: There's no division between the toilet and the shower, so the hole bathroom gets wet when you take a bath.

25 August 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: great location, for both safety and access to main sites. Breakfast very basic compared to other places I have been but can't complain. GREAT STAFF!!! shower head is hand held which sucks but again no biggie. 8/10 would recommend

Disliked: Nothing worth noting.

Liked: really very central, at second we stayed at another place (was a hotel (not safe area), cheaper but not as central and good and safe as that place). Aircon and bathroom was very clean for a hostel. I only was missing a towel and a soap but that is normal for hostel. Very friendly nice staff!

Disliked: nothing to dislike

09 August 2011

Liked: It's situated really close to the Acropolis and it's clean.

Disliked: We were sent to the studios (because we had a private room, about 3 minutes from the main hostel and the staff there was not helpful. We had to leave really early the next day and we asked to have something for breakfast to take away and we were given nothing. It seems impossible to put some bread in a plastic bag. They can't keep your luggage for free. You have to pay for the service (3 euros per day).

07 August 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Staff were very active and helpful. We had a great time on the walking tour and wished we were there longer to check out some of the other events on offer at the hostel! It was clean, with free breakfast and wifi and though the area is close to the tourist sites it seems like a bit of a dodgy area of town

Disliked: a bit noisy at night

06 August 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Loved the proximity to the major sights in Athens (Acropolis, Agoras, Temple of Zeus) ease of access via metro, clean, comfortable, affordable.

Disliked: Nothing really.

05 August 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Disliked: nothing!

04 August 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Loved most things about this place. The staff were fantastic and helped you out as much as possible, the atmosphere was great, particularly the roof bar, which gave you the chance to meet more of the guests around the hostel. It was very clean with good facilities and not too far from the other tourist attractions around the capital!

Disliked: Nothing really. However the toilet seat was broken.

Liked: Great location!

Disliked: A little bit expensive!

02 August 2011

Liked: It was easy to find.

Disliked: The lift was not working and we were required to carry our heavy bags up to our floor. The staff member at the desk was friendly but i was annoyed that the paperwork had said credit card facilities were available. however when i went to pay there was a mimimum 50 euros. This was annoying to find an ATM late at night, plus I'd budgeted to have exactly the right amount of money before I flew home. Also it was very noisy and we were kept up all night by loud music next door. also the air conditioner was not able to be turned off and we froze!! In terms of getting to the port and airport, its location is not great. it requires you to change trains.

Liked: Very central to everything, easy to find and close to the metro. Clean as well. The roof bar is also very cool.

Disliked: The breakfast was average. The staff could be more helpful at the beginning but may have been just who I encountered first as others were ok just not particularly friendly except the bar tender!
