Best Hostel in Greece

M	Mario Haas on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 13 Eur for a place to sleep on the roof together with 10+ others, curfew and even prices can be arbitrary, have to hand over passport for the duration of your stay. Great rooftop scenery. Left feeling unsatisfied. Not wheelchair accessible. NOT recommended if you want to get any sleep.
V	Valentina G on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ HOME-LIKE Piece of Heaven PLACE -The hostel is originally an old private house and studio of a wealthy doctor who made it back in 1963. It has the archutectural quality of old buildings with high ceilings, precious floors and fine details (look at the stair balustrade). There are few rooms only with stacked beds and a private room. They all have a balcony and are very clean and comfortable. Of course it always depends ln the hosts but we had a very good impression of the environment. There are showers and toilets enough for everybody and the roof terrace is a pleasant place to spend the evenings. You can also sleep on the roof in outdoor stacked beds OR in the old laundry place that is now a room for 3. You can cook and leave your stuffs with no problems. Little kitchen is outside. The owner she is a very kind and calm person. You feel like home also thanks to her. I highly recommend to people in search for another dimension and time.
a	auntiewin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Well, in addition to being of course clean and safe and full of wonderful people from around the world, I appreciated that it was an easy walk from the central bus station (I just turned right going out the front door, stayed on that street until the big staircase to the harbor level at the Megaron Hotel, right again until the major road across from the harbor, right again until the back entrance of the bus station.
D	Dom Henderson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Pretty grim. Cold, dirty, noisy, poor cooking materials, rough old blankets, thin walls
D	Daniel Maier on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I stayed there one week. It was a nice hostel and liked the rooms and the owners.
J	Joe Hunt on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Seems a little overpriced for very basic functionality. The sunroof is nice and a great place to relax and the hostel is quite well located. The rooms were very basic, wall sockets not near the beds, squeaky bunk beds that type of thing. The shower had very low pressure and there was no fixing in the wall so your had to hold it to wash yourself, which when you are rinsing off is very close due to the low water-pressure. The receptionists are helpful but didn’t remember basics like bedding ect when we checked in so we had to go and ask for them twice as they said they would put them on for us but didn’t do so before 9 and we didn’t want to go out not knowing if we had bedsheets. I’m not faulting it places like this can be great but it just seemed a bit expensive for the quality.
j	jean arakelian on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's clean,!!!! But if you pass in dormitory just for 1 night as emergency otherwise you will do no have peace...no respect by others... Price is also good for the location...
J	John Jursch on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The price value is pretty amazing. It's not a fancy, polished hostel but it has charm and character. I would definitely come back. You can lock your valuables in an extra locker in the room. There is a rooftop with a lot of space but no spectacular view. The water pressure in the shower could be better. All in all pretty fine.
