It would be nice if there was an elevator, since the building is 5 stories tall. Also very helpful if the showers had shower curtains.

The staff was really great, they help us a lot and the hostel was really clean and confortable. You are 15 min walking from de Acropolis, so the location was great, and the breakfast was really good and limitless, we ll go back!

Mostly clean and nice, though some rooms may look a bit old and worn. The reseptionist is nice and speaks reasonably good English. The location is great, 5 minutes from the Monastiraki Square and very close to the major historic sites.

This place was great! Cute rooms, very clean (maid service every day), and AMAZING location. All the good stuff is walkable in just a few blocks. You can practically see the Acropolis out the front door. Well worth the money, I certainly recommend this place.

Excellent English spoken by the staff. They helped us a lot for planning . They also booked us a cruise line from Athens to santorini. The hotel is in a very good and safe location close to syntagma/monastiraki Square. Good restaurants near by too. Rooms are decent and worth the penny. Bathrooms (common) though are little inconvinient!

The location of the hostel is perfect, really close to the metro station and Acropolis. The staffs are really nice and helpful. The only thing we dont like is the wifi access, you just can use it in the kitchen. But actually there is internet access on 2nd floor, So maybe u can try to request a room on 2nd floor if u need internet access. And the toilet is really small and without shower curtain.

It's an ok 1-star hotel to stay in, although we had booked a 3-person room and they ended up giving us one single room & one double room. But it was ok. I did notice it was best to book through hostelworld though, because other people we talked to were given more expensive rates when they walked in.

The room that we stated in is too small. I think it used to a storage room which was converted into a room. Location was excellent, a few meters away from Monastiraki square. No elevators so be prepared to claim stairs just incase you are assigned in the top floors.

Great location. You get a lot for what you pay and it was great for a one night stay. The breakfast (included) was a lot more than what we expected. The room we had did not face the street, and was very quiet. There is no elevator, so we had to carry our luggage up to the 3rd floor (that's the 4th floor if you're American). The shower was lukewarm at night, but hot in the morning, and water pressure was OK but not great. The room was pretty ratty, but recommended if you're on a budget.
