Hotel socrates is a hotel, not a hostel, but for the price, and the location, I think this is a good place to stay. The bathrooms are older and a bit rundown, as are the rooms, we did have some ants, but it did the job, we even got a balcony! It is conveniently located next to the train station, which was excellent for us as we arrived late at night. It is about a 30 minute walk to the acropolis and other attractions which was okay for us, but there is a metro or busses.

This is a hotel and not a hostel. It’s far from everything. The train station is just down the road, there is privacy, and the shutters make sure you get a good nights sleep. However, it’s in a sketchy neighborhood for female travelers. There are other options that will be better. Get a hostel closer to the Acropolis like Athens Backpackers.

Great location for catching the train to the port in the morning but that’s about it.
