Is been a wonderful experience,for this price I expected worse,but when I got there I`ve found myself in a nice athmosfere, friendly staff, multilingual speaking.It was free wi-fi everywhere even on the balcony witch was beautiful. The kitchen was a big help cause cooking in there helped me to save some money.The room was large and clean, I had also free towels. The bathrooms are also clean and there was hot water to showers 24 hours. I meet other travelers there, made some friends. Thanks guys!

This is one of the cheapest hostels in Athens. The place and bathrooms are clean. Warm Showers. There is a kitchen to use unlike the other hostels in Athens. I like to cook. Giant LCD TV w/ cable so it is nice to watch television. Internet/wifi is fast. The prostitutes are harmless at night in the area don't mind the other reviews. There is a police station a block away so the area is safe. I have traveled to over 100 countries and trust me there are a lot worst places in the world!

the area and place were not safe which we realised after we stayed there. would suggest not to opt for this place at all.. the staff were of inconsiderate nature.

This is a great budget hostel. It is clean the staff is nice and it is very quiet. The prostitutes on the street do not bother anyone and the johns do not make you feel unsafe. Great place.

The hotel is on district near the center but not famous. There are bitches on street, but it's not dangerous. Greeck people don't like this district. If you don't bach hostel too late on night, it's ok.

When it comes to location - well, it is what it is. It's near to everything, but the neighbourhood is a bit dodgy. Lots of homeless people and prostitutes around, but not dangerous exactly. The problem with the hostel is mainly cleaniness and very poor is a understatement. There was hair on the bedclothes when we arrived, the bathroom was filthy and the kitchen was a mess. And the fridge was a real thrill - it smelled like it could kill after one deep breath.
