Liked: Many facilities were available. Left luggage, where we were allowed to keep our luggage locked up during our week away on an island hopping tour. The breakfast was decent. Walking tour was cheap and useful. Safety deposits at the reception made us feel much more secure. Wifi was accessible from our rooms.

Disliked: Each aircon in each room should have its own remote control. Towels could have been provided.

Liked: This place is ideal if you want to meet new people. It's right next to everything: beach, bar, river, markets, restaurants etc. I booked 4 nights and ended up staying 11. There are many things to do and it's very clean and safe. Free wifi and a good breakfast for 1 or 2 euros, If there are any concerns Chris takes care of it immediately. I'm going to return to this hostel. It was sad to leave.

Liked: One word... AMAZING!! Athens Backpackers Studios is everything you would want in a hostel plus more. I only wished we stayed there longer. All the staff is beyond friendly and helpful. There are so many activities offered by the property such as walking tour, happy hour, different events at the sports bar. Free breakfast, laundromat right next to the studios and sports bar with free soap.

Liked: You just can't beat the location and the rooftop bar views are spectacular.

Disliked: It's very much a 'party' hostel, not that this is necessarily a massive problem but it does mean that your quality of sleep is not that great.

Liked: Spot on hostel. Great rooftop bar with cheap prices. All staff very friendly and helpful, especially Kathy. No noise from clubs so you have the option of partying or sleeping at any hour, unlike rival AthenStyle hostel The walking tour was brilliant and very helpful, cheap, good way to meet folk.

Disliked: Internet was quite pricey, but you should be here to see Athens not sit on facebook! Showerhead isn't attached to wall, you have to hold it yourself. This wouldn't be too much of an expensive upgrade to improve the quality of the hostel.
