Great location, very easy to find and close to bus stop. Friendly and helpful staff. Bar was great place for younger travelers to meet. Only real con was the slow and sometimes intermittent Internet.

Though I spent only half night there (my flight was at 6am in the morning) is in a great location, spotless clean, staff were very nice and the garden in a great place to meet some people. My only complain was about 6 north american people who arrived drunk at 23h30 screaming out loud , first in front of the hostel and than inside the hostel. Maybe staff could had been a bit more stricter to them by asking them to be quiet at least at the corridors.They were actually making a scandal.

The pillow and the bed sheet are not clean that my neck and skin was bited by the cooties. And the room has very bad air conditionning, i felf very hot and can not breath well and hard to fall asleep. There is only one stair in the room but 4 bunk beds. There is no electric socket in the room, i can't get my cellphone and battery of Camera recharge. The staff is not serious on my complaints and no improvment.

Right by the Plaka! Close walk to Acropolis and many other sites.

This hostel has many rooms, so the building stays noisy, but its right under the acropolis, so the location is great. The bathrooms were out dated but clean. I would stay here again.

I had a happy staying for three nights at this hostel. The only glitch is on the first night, when AC in the room didn\'t quite work and the lights to the bathroom didn\'t work. But as soon as I informed the staff they had them fixed the next day. The location of this hostel is perfect, in the Plaka which is the center of Athens and surrounded by bars, restaurants and shops, and is a 15-min walk to the Acropolis. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful on local information. There is also an affili

This was an amazing hostel!The location is perfect for sight seeing and going out at night, everything is literally right outside the hostel! Being a student and traveling is was comforting to have such nice people helping you out in where to go. The bar was nice because it was outside and very cheap! The blonde girl working it is definitely someone I'll remmeber! She gives great advice in where to go! The three girls who work there are wonderful and so nice! Very Friendly!

Although this hostel rates well in most areas, we had the worst nights sleep! The curtains were paper thin and light from street lights poured in all night. The hostel is near many noisy restaurants that kept us awake to the wee hours. A great hostel besides this though.

Very nice stay here. Facilities were decent expect that the showers didn't drain properly so if you had anything on the floor in the bathroom it would get soaked. Location is excellent within walking distance of the acropolis and many other important sightseeing spots. Many restaurants right outside and little shops with just about everything you could need.

The staff were great, and hostel was clean. The girl with the blond hair was super awesome; booked our tickets for boats, and answered all the questions. The room number 40, DID NOT HAVE ANY PLUGS we live in the 21st century everyone has electronics and those need to be charged. it is unacceptable to not have any outlets for things to be charged INSIDE THE ROOM. Also the hallway plug only had one outlet, Buy splitters for the plugs you have and run an extension cord or something.

The hostel is located on a main street in Plaka so it can get very noisy at night. I stayed on the second floor facing the street and could not sleep until 2AM. The windows are really thin with no sound insulation. Plus, I thought the staff member that checked me in was pretty rude. He did not want to accept my credit card because the 'machine was down', and plus I had to pay 10€ deposit for the key which I have never heard of

With my friends, we really enjoyed our stay in Students & Travellers Inn. Maybe not the first night, because we had a really small room (for two persons), a lot of noise (because of the common TV which was very closed) and that the accomodities and the shower were not really clean. But then, we moved in a 3 persons room (because one friend arrived), and that was really great ! Clean, quiet and we had enough space for our luggages.

We stayed at this hostel on both sides of our trip to the islands. The two nights we stayed in the beginning we were in the basement. The room was adequate but nothing special. In the morning we were woken up,veryearly, by the pet bird in the courtyard. It was also cold as the hallway opens up to the outside. The last night that we stayed at the end of our trip we had a great room in the upstairs area. It was warm and we could not hear the bird in the morning. We would recomend staying upstairs.

This hostel was good enough for what I paid. It's not necessary a party hostel, I didn't find any lockers to leave my stuff so bring your own lock for your luggage. The location is very good near Syntagma square and only a few min. away from the Acropolis. The stuff was also nice, the location very clean i really liked that and my room had a balcony which is a big plus for us smokers! Wi-Fi was very poor depending in which floor you were. sooo... was nice though!
