The hostel have a bit of problems, but it is very good. I just dislike the bathroom. It didn't have a lock and the shower was broken.

Nice place to meet people, great happy hour with cheap beer and loads of free Ouzo shots (I myself could never drink that again in my life). BEST location! Your´re practically INSIDE the Acropolis. the internet is pricey, but if you go to Syntagma Square, there´s free internet in a electronics store just beside Everest sandwich bar. Don´t look forward to the breakfast...it´s the very, very basic thing, but it´s all right!

You can see the acropolis from the roof bar. Stay here if going to Athens, the Athens Studios has better facilities but this is the best place to stay to meet people and better location at Athens! close to everything!

It was like being a guest in a friends home. No request was ever treated as being a bother. Everyone is treated equal and the free stuff makes it the best value I have found anywhere in the world.

Staff, location, and atmosphere were all great. This is THE place to stay if you want to meet people. There's a great pub crawl on Saturday nights (maybe other nights as well), as well as trivia games in the bar, and movie nights too. Would 100% stay there again.

Location, location, location. The staff gave helpful local tips that helped me save time and money. The room itself wasn't anything special, but it seems like the hostel could be a happening spot if there were only more poeple staying there.
