The staff was very helpful and accommodating, especially helping us plan our other trips around Greece. Our schedule changed and they were more then happy to change/add nights to our reservation .The 24 hour reception meant that someone was available to help us at all hours of the day/night. The breakfast was cheap, easy, and delicious. All facilities were very clean and nice. The hostel was easy to find with the hostel's directions and in the center of everything. I highly recommend it!!

This place has a perfect location right in La Plaka at the foothills of the Acropolis. Lots of great winding streets all around and a short walk up hill to a great view of Athens and the sunset. The staff is super helpful, the cafe downstairs has great food for a good price. We had a private room with bathroom for 40E (off-season). We're definitely staying there again the next time we're in Athens.

Students and Travellers Inn offered us a delightful stay in Athens! They welcomed us with a shot of Ouzo and a free drink, free dessert, and 10% off of the restaurant next door! Both the room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable. There's a nice garden, where you can sit outside and use wifi, order drinks, or eat breakfast. They also offer travel services in case you want to take a trip to an island or something. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.

Breakfast is okay but could be a little bit more, another slice of bread even a second cup of coffee or tea. Nice to see they have added locker to some rooms but yet to have locks for sale at reception. Perry is trying to improve place, all other staff just as helpful. Little shocked with price rising most months for same bed. Need to update the Athens info and maybe check or comfirm some of info first hand

This is a fantastic hostel, with great reception service. Reception desk is ever there for Luggage storage and always very funny. The rooms are very good, a lot of bathrooms and with a very nice bar. Really recommended by the Belgians. So when you re in Athens then this hostel is one that you have to book,

Everyone was super nice and helpful the entire time and it's within a short walk of the acropolis and other tourist attractions! Definitely one of my favorite hostels.

Excellent staff, people here are very helpful and available. It is very close to the Acropolis and a lot of restaurants. When I arrived they took some time to explain the main attractions and how to get around. It was very useful. I spent two nights there and had very pleasant stay.

We will NOT come back here again. Location is very good, next to Acropolis and Syntagma place, but we got a tiny and ugly room, with a small window without light, and unconfortable bed. The water was broken and the floor was wet everytime. We told it to the staff, but four days later we left and it was the same, they didn´t fix it. Breadfast is not included, it cost about 5e but it doesn´t worth it. We think you can find a better place for the same price.

The staff is what makes staying here so great! They are super helpful! I lost my passport/purse and without their help, \i wouldn't have known how to go about looking for it. They're great with being able to tell you how to get where you need to go, and just to talk to. We stayed here one weekend and decided to stay another night the following weekend. The next time we're in Athens, we'll definitely be moving again.

Great hostel, in a fantastic location. Quick and easy walk to the Parthenon and Agora (also not far from the Metro station that takes you directly to and from the airport). The street gets lively at night with lots of great restaurants. All members of the staff were extremely helpful, always ready with a map to tell you exactly where to go. The double ensuite was totally worth the money, with a great private balcony! Some problems with wifi, but we were able to use the computer room.
