A little crummy to look at and the laundry was broken so that meant no towels and single bed sheets for a double bed, but otherwise a nice place to stay. A short walk to everything and they offered a free walking tour which was quite good. The rooftop patio had an amazing view of the acropolis and a great place to meet other travellers. Beer is super cheap also. A nice little surprise was the private balcony off our room. Only 1 outlet in our whole room so we could only charge 1 thing at a time

Great location for seeing the sights in Athens, the free walking tour was excellent. The linens were not great and the wifi only works occasionally but the rooftop patio makes up for it.

The facilities were badl. The shower head was broken, one toilet didn't work, the beds were squeaky, and the wi-fi was down. That said, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend staying at this hostel. The staff were amazing and super helpful and worked to cultivate an awesome atmosphere and living space. Not only did they know the answers to all of my questions but they even went as far as to host a bbq on the rooftop bar one night. Also perfect location right near the ancient agora and the acropolis.

It's never gonna be the quietest place to sleep, but if you can handle the sound of motorbikes revving up at 4 in the morning you'll be fine. Amazing location and great social areas. The terrace especially is a brilliant place to hang out. Showers/toilets all clean and good - to those who've complained about 'water getting everywhere' it's called a WET ROOM, that's how they roll in Europe, deal with it! My room had a view of Acropolis. Amazing! Staff could be more knowledgeable about what's on.

The staff is phenomenal and ridiculously helpful. I adored everyone working there! The location is great - right across from the flea market and about 15 minutes from Ghazi by walking. It's about 3-5 minutes walk from the metro station Monistraki which will take you to port or airport pretty easily. Cheap food (2 euro for a souvlaki or gyro) is nearby and about 15 minutes from more traditional shopping clothing stores down Ermou. Cons: Water pressure is low, showers overflow, it gets chilly.

Staff was amazing, Abraham is the sweetest guy ever (dont trust his directions though ;) . The roof view with the bar and shisha lounge is WELL worth the room price. I honestly feel I shouldve payed triple what I did. Bathrooms are ok, clean but small and shared. Blankets, sheets, and towels are all free. Wifi was kind of crappy, but it works. Beds are really comfortable.

Best value for money, staff very friendly. I have really enjoyed my stay in this hostel. The hostel has a roof bar that face directly on the parthenon. smoking shisha , having a laugh with some friends and drinking a beer in a warm summer night..., if you can picture this scenario, then you easily understand why this place has to be a must if you come to Athens.

This hostel is clean and close to the turistic places in Athens ( You can see them from your window) I recommend this place if you are looking for a place just to sleep and leave your things while you visit.

The hostel is perfectly situated with a WONDERFUL view on the acropolis from the rooftop. The staff is perfect (big up to Ibrahim, Mohamed and Ianita). Unfortunately, the showers are not working fine, the hostel is not perfectly clean and there are no lockers. But globaly, I would recommand this hostel.

The rooftop bar has a really great view of the Acropolis, and the location of this hostel is pretty awesome, within 5 minutes of the Monastiriki station. Rooms were pretty clean too.

Perfect location, 2 seconds from the metro and easy walking to all major sites. Staff beyond helpful with all my crazy questions early on. I had to get a rabies shot after a dog bite in India, and staff made multiple phone calls for me until we found out how to get the medical help I needed. Highly recommend staying here. Thank you! (Special thanks to beautiful Janita and Abe)

Pella-Inn is great hotel. Good atmosphere, very clean, the staff was very helpful and nice! We did the sailing voyage and was very adventurous experience, we went to some really beautiful islands close by and we had lot of time to swam into the crystal sea of Aegean. The view of Acropolis from the roof is absolutely amazing with people from the hostel having parties up there makes the nights more fun and enjoyable. I will definitely go there again sometime.. Thanks!

The rooms were rather smaller than expected. The location is really close to seeing a ton of major sights, so you don´t have to take the metro everywhere. We could even see the acropolis at night! Once it turned dark, the area was honestly pretty sketchy and a little ghetto. I didn´t feel in any danger, but I was with 4 others. You can hear everything outside your window, so earplugs might help. One of the male staff members was extremely helpful and nice!!
