The location is extremely good! You are near acropolis, all restaurants in plaka, definitely walkable everywhere. About the capsules, they need improvement, they should add some curtains, so you have more privacy. Cleanliness depends also on your roommates, which fortunately I got lucky about. I would recommend, just probably on summer when they have parties and the rooftop, probably you would be able to listen to and don’t sleep much.

Best location you could ask for in my opinion, staff was nice and helpful. Bathroom is a bit hard to get ready in and doesn’t get cleaned very often but other than that it’s a great place to stay

Athens Backpackers says

I think it's where we are and who we are that make us unique. Travelling is for meeting people; that's why we've designed our place and all the activities so you do just that. Our Skybar has 360 views of the Acropolis, so close you can almost touch it. Next door is the Fish Café, with the best meals in Athens under â'¬8. Our street also has a Laundromat and two unique bars…plus, our hostel is on a road lined with orange trees! The smell of orange blossoms is amazing. Our guests are constantly raving to me about our Sky Bar, since it has cheap ice-cold beers and cocktails and the fact they meet so many new people! We cater to anyone and everyone because we all bring something unique to the party. We accommodate individuals wanting to meet people and families desiring privacy and amenities. We also have elevators in all buildings and emergency assistance call buttons in the bathrooms.
