I could give this hostel a perfect review based on the location alone. Literally a a 10 minute walk away from anything youd like to visit in Athens. What made our stay worth it was the absolutely friendly and accomodating staff that work here. We were greeted with smiles after a long flight from the states. We didnt book our travel plans fully so we had a handful of questions to ask about athens, the islands, and meteora. We were instantly relieved when we were helped by the knowledgeable staff.

I booked for 2 nights but ended up staying 6 nights. In my opinion this is an excellent hostel. It has a great location at the base of the Acropolis - within easy walking distance of both Acropoli and Syntagma Metro stations - also within walking distance of Airport bus drop off at Syntagma Square. The place is very clean and is good value for money. Finally the staff could not be better - they are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend staying here.

One of the best hostels I have stayed at. You cannot get better location or staff. The receptionist were really friendly and welcoming. Helping you was more than just a job to them it was what they truly wanted to do. I wouldn't choose any other place to stay in Athens but here.

I had a great stay at students and travellers in. Its located right in the old district walking distance from syntagma square. Easily accessible by metro and bus. The staff is friendly and welcoming i never felt hesitant to ask a question and I was given excellent reccomendations for places to see in athens. All in a all a great place to stay, very clean with a great place to sit and enjoy company, in the heart of the city. If and when i return to athens i will definitely be returining here

Our stay at the Student Travellers Inn started off with a warm welcome from the fantastic staff and continued throughout our stay with the fantastic neighboring stores and restaurants. Even after we had checked out, we were welcomed back when we needed some place to stay for a few hours waiting for our bus. Such a family atmosphere and I would recomend this hostel to anyone planning to stay in Athens. Great central area!

The Student and Travellers Inn was in a wonderful location but it was not the cleanist and the staff was not well versed in local information. The most frustrating aspect of our stay was the staff that did not arrive on time or at all for breakfast, meaning that our schedule was thrown off. Overall we did enjoy our staff because the location was fantastic!

Great location with friendly staff and a great breakfast! The in-house travel agency was really helpful in getting our trip to the islands set up.

Very nice hostel, large but quiet and well managed. It was very close to the main square and on a nice street with restaurants and the acropolis nearby plus balconies on some of the rooms. There was a mix up with our booking, but nothing that wasn't easily fixed. Flolin from the front desk was very nice by calling a taxi for us to the port and waiting to make sure it arrived on time and ensuring that the wifi was working during our stay.

Many areas need improvement: 1. Do not send your customers to the "greek" atm down the street when there is a perfectly good atm much closer. When I'm pulling money out to PAY for my stay and hoping not to have my card taken, I am not trying to experience culture. 2. Paper towels in the bathrooms. 3. Don't go on and on about cultural differences - we get it! Just give us good tips and recommendations as we ask. 4. Put Wifi in the rooms.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, all but one who was actually quite useless with any questions I had. However, they had a trip planning service to help book ferries etc. and this was really great and very convienient. Overall the place seemed quite clean but I left the place with a lot of strange bites on my legs - I wondered maybe was there something unlucky in my bed :/ but not actually certain it was there fault.

Staff. Was. Incrediblyyyy. Helpful. Bending their backs helpful. The place is very clean and maintained well. Theres a rooftop (no seating) but great view of acropolis and a really nice lighted up common garden type bar area on the ground floor. Great location as well- right in the Plaka with bars few steps down and short walk to metros/buses/trams. Great deal- highly recommend!
