J	Jordan Lively on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fantastic time! Great rooftop bar with a view of the Acropolis. Good vibes, Nikolas is an absolute gem! Clean rooms, good vibes, highly recommend :)
G	G JT on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fast, easy check-in, really nice bathroom en suite, decent bar/lobby are to hang out. Friendly staff, particularly in the afternoon/evening. Great breakfast. Really affordable.
S	Sophia Socarras on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was honestly very disappointed with this hostel. I’ve stayed in many hostels before and I’ve rarely experienced other guests that were this disrespectful. The hostel itself is fine. It’s in a great location and the staff is very kind. (Note: the “kitchen” isn’t a real kitchen. I only stayed a night so that didn’t bother me.) However, I was woken up multiple times during the night because of other guests shouting and running in the hallway. It was long past quiet hours and a week night. Also worth noting that the bunk beds are more difficult to get into than most. The design of the beds makes it difficult to grab onto anything at the top as you climb.
K	Karin Kloss Talavera on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice Hostel, really close to the center or basically everything you have to see. Everything was smaller than it looked on the internet, but for me it wasn't a big deal, it was just for sleeping. The guest kitchen wasn't really a kitchen, so that threw me off a bit. Great breakfast! There was a locker missing in the room I was at, so i didn't had a place to leave my things, but okay, nothing happened. The bathroom was always cleaned! The rooftop was normally closed, i don't know if it's because of the time of the year...but yeah.
C	Cristian on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I really enjoyed this hostel. I stayed for 14 nights and was impressed with the location, atmosphere, and cleanliness. The daily breakfast was also a huge benefit. My plan was to stay again May 31-June 2nd but they are sadly full.
T	Thod Kat on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is a hostel right in the heart of old city of Athens underneath Acropolis. Ideal for young travelers who need a cool place to stay for a few nights before they leave for another destination or they just want to hang around and have fun with other residents in the hostel's activities. Yes the hostel organizes party nights such as quiz nights or karaoke nights etc. The staff is awesome and very helpful. Rooms are very well equipped with anything a traveller usually needs but mind that they may not be as private you might want to. Perfect for social people who like to meet others and for people who like spontaneous fun activities. Very close to metro station, the Acropolis museum, the Acropolis itself, the main pedestrian street of old Athens, the Olympian Zeus Columns and many many MANY more archeological sites of several eras. Have fun!
S	Sophia Dias on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing stay! Staff was very friendly and helpful, the bed was pretty comfortable as well. Only complaint was that the rooms were a bit on the colder side. I went during Greece’s winter time, so it kind of sucked, but I’m sure it’s extremely refreshing during the summer time, as I know it gets very hot. Besides that, the hostel is in a very central area of Athens. I was able to walk to every attraction I wanted to go to. Most importantly, it was also a very safe area, which as a solo female traveler, it is something I prioritize. All in all, I absolutely love this hostel and will definitely be coming back to next time I’m in Athens!
J	Jason Hazlett on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If your looking for a good time and a place to meet and drink with other backpackers, and a great location, then this is the place to go to. I found the staff very friendly, the beds seemed comfortable and was fairly clean. There are some drawbacks being a hostel of cause, but if your looking for somewhere quiet this is definitely not the right place. If your looking to party, then 5 stars it is!
