Overall a great hostel experience. Very safe and super convenient for Athens sightseeing. Met some lovely people and found it to be very social at breakfast. The lockers did not actually functionally lock with a padlock but the rooms themselves were very secure. I stayed in both a regular and a deluxe mixed 6 and found them to be very similar experiences with the many differences being bathroom quality and larger more functional storage lockers.
