The friendly staff are always ready to help you find out how to get around in the city and in Greece in general. The location is excellent, close to the Acropolis and most other interesting sites.

One of the girls on the staff was just GREAT and would help us out as much as she could. She even manage to get our hole group of six people in private rooms and gave us a present when we left. Bar with backyeard was great to meet other travelers and the beer there was really cheap. Only problem we had was with an older lady that worked there and was very rude to everyone when people were having conversations on the open area or computer room. We will def go back!!

The ladies who work the travel advise area are excellent. This was a great hostel. Also the location is amazing. You are about five minutes walk from the Parthenon and can see it from outside the hostel door

Katherine and Christine were very pleasant to deal with. They make this hostel worth it.

Kathrine and Christine were a huge help. They took the time to help me figure out the ferry schedules for the rest of my trip in Greece, told me what to do in , what to see, and how to get around Athens. And made me feel really welcomed to the hostel.

One of the best hostels I ever stayed in, very professional facilities, very warm staff, and best location. You can walk to any important tourist places. The staff are really helpful, and they have all kinds of service from giving instructions to providing universal charger. The only disadvantage is the facility of the shower room, it's not very convenient now, but they are upgrading. BTW, the hot water is very sufficient all the time.

Location is great. Most tourist attractios are within walking distance. Staff is the problem. They are rude and rough at times. Staff smoke all day long in the reception area which is an open space to the second and third floor; causing smoke to go all the way up to the third floor. We were on the third floor and had to be smoking with them the second air smoke. It was terrible. We finished sick. They shouldn't be allowed to smoke in the reception area. My third time in Athens wasnt good

Very good location, but nothing other than that. 4 beds room is very small, staff doesn't even know where is the bus station.

The rooms where ok, but there is in fact no kitchen in the Hostel, just a small area where you can have breakfast, which closes after 11 until the next day.

Lacking a lounge area really hurts with a hostel's character and atmosphere; although the place was nice, I didn't spend much time in or around it and got most my information (including a WAY better map) from a travel agent down the street. The beds were comfy, the showers were clean, the staff were 24hr friendly, security was not a concern. #1 for this place is location, best spot you could have. Its on a walking street filled with gift shops and restaurants and is 2 mins away from Acropolis.

Excellent location! Close to all major attractions by foot. My only observation would be the luggage storage - I checked out at 11am and wanted to leave one of my bags for the day and the luggage storage is just a room, no locks on the door and accessible to everyone. Nothing happened to my bag but that was a bit annoying.

The hostel was very helpful with directions transport times and what to do, although the government protests were a bit restricting there were still plenty of things to do and places open. A bit hard to find the place at first but I am blaming google maps on my iPhone!

I was in November,so i really can not write anything about fun in this hostel. It's def well located close to Acropolis,close to Syntagma square(bus from airport has last stop there!). I stayed in two other hostels in Athens before,so i can say it was as clean as two others,security was also same in my opinion. So to be very honest i can recomend this hostel because of it's location and nice garden-common area!

Great location. Rooms were decent. The staff bumped us up from a 6 bedroom dorm to a 3, free of cost which was nice. The shower on our floor was awful! The water pressure was low, and it went from extremely hot to freezing cold. The outside bar/patio area seems nice, but it was too cold outside for us to really enjoy it.
