- Joseph (10/5): - Great facilities and friendly staff!
- LEONIDAS (9/5): Όμορφος τόπος στο κέντρο της Αθήνας - Πολύ καθαρός χώρος. Ευχάριστο προσωπικό. Αν και δεν ευθύνεται το διαμέρισμα, κάποιοι από τους επισκέπτες που βρίσκονταν στον ίδιο χώρο συμπεριφέρονταν με απαράδεκτο τρόπο. Άφηναν τα άπλυτά τους παντού, δεν πατούσαν καζανάκι στην τουαλέτα, κα.. Ίσως να πρέπει το προσωπικό να τους εξηγεί τα αυτονόητα...

- Sergio (9/5): -
- Gertjan (7/5): voor 1 nacht perfect - propere en moderne kamers een klein plankje om gsm op te leggen naast je bed om te laten zou handig zijn
- Luke (9/5): Elite hostel with cool theme - Big showers which were very good , room layout very good . Privacy curtain in Bed very good . Location very good. Washing facilities in the -1 floor very good.
Kitchen facilities best I've seen in a hostel. Literally everything you could ask for and is kept spotless by staff. Larger pillow. It's quite small.
- Basel (10/5): -
- THT19 (8/5): Good place for a few night - Nice staff, great location, clean and well furnished. Definitely recommend. I think bunk beds are a bit too close to one another, but the curtains compensated the closeness
- Joachim (9/5): - Small showers and toilets, not easy to get in and out if you are larger.
- Ahmed (10/5): Great place - Location
Staff very genuinely friendly
The place is extremely clean Nothing
- marc felix (10/5): - The hotel is well decorated, very clean and modern . I love the design of the place. Everything was perfect
- Daphne Rashun (9/5): Almost a perfect stay.. - Almost everything was perfect. The hostel is very clean, comfortable, and fun. The staff were very kind and polite. The hostel has an amazing vibe that works for all ages...Basically anyone who enjoys an easy going experience. The kitchen is well stocked and the common areas are very welcoming. The elevator seemed to stop working everyday...maybe because it's old or people were doing something to it. I'm not sure, but it's very difficult to walk up to the 5th or 6th floor after a full day of sightseeing. 😅 Also the cleaning staff should wait until after check out time to come into the room to clean it. If check out is at 11:00, they should NOT enter before 11:00 because some guests were still asleep and I was preparing to leave.
- Gerard (10/5): - Todo, Dimitris un gran profesional me ofreció una habitación con ducha propia al no estar lleno el hostel algo que se agradece mucho. Gracias por todo al staff! Nada
- Roan (10/5): -
- Roan (10/5): Whe had a short stay with my friend. We love everything about this place. Resposive staff, own locker and towel provided - Everything and nice accommodation.
- Alexios (9/5): -
- Louise (9/5): - La cuisine est très bien équipée. Il y a toujours du personnel disponible. Les rideaux autour du lit permettent vraiment d'avoir son intimité et ils protègent bien de la lumière. Il y a des espaces communs comme la cuisine et le dernier étage mais l'auberge pourrait proposer des activités pour faciliter les rencontres. Il y avait une affiche pour du yoga mais ce n'était plus à jour.
- Santiago (9/5): Wonderful, modern, unique hostel - close to the city center. - Modern, clean, and well maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful with advice. The location at first seems off but it was actually remarkably convenient to get into the city center, the metro, etc. I walked faster to the Acropolis museum then taking the metro. Plenty of cafes, food, grocery options within 5-min walk.
Dorms have privacy curtains - a high plus for any hostel. Large lockers, shared bathrooms were small but clean. It would be nice to be able to hang something on the outside while you brush your teeth or clothes outside the shower so it doesn’t get wet.
Large kitchen!
The terrace is nice, lots of social areas. They didn’t have organized activities directly but offered a Pub Crawl and a yoga class with a partner. Top bunk beds need to have a shelf installed please! There’s nowhere to put your phone other than hope it doesn’t fall when you’re sleeping. I dropped things that got lost into the void behind because on the sides of the bed since there’s a gap between the metal and the wall. Doesn’t have to be any crazy, even a small wood plank would work.
Small suggestion- if possible is there a way to have the door not speak “unlocked/locked” every time some uses it. Doesn’t bother me but just adds to the noise when coming back late.
It’s more of a personal preference, but perhaps consider long-term stay policies. While they were friendly, someone live in the dorm for months, don’t bring the same vibe as other travelers.
- Aranaga (10/5): -
- MIkhail (9/5): Clean and comfy - I was surprise by overall cleaness of common areas and the room. Pretty nice kitchen, open 24 hours, with fridge and free tea / coffee. Bath towel included in price, box with lock provided (no need to take your own lock). Shower / toilet are in the same room with beds - I prefer to have them separately to avoid noice at night. Breakfast option not available, but it's possible to find bakery nearby.
- AURELIE (4/5): SEJOUR INCONFORTABLE ET PREOCCUPANT - PIQURES INSECTES - la superficie de la chambre Séjour très inconfortable et préoccupant. Nous nous sommes réveillés chaque matin avec de nouvelles piqûres assez importantes ce qui pose clairement la question de la présence de nuisibles. Au total nous en avons sur pratiquement tout le corps. Je mets quelques photos mais il y a des endroits où les boutons sont encore plus impressionnants (sur le ventre, fesse...)
La salle de bain pourtant spacieuse, est inutilisable après vous êtes douchés.
L'eau ne s'évacue pas correctement ce qui crée une flaque importante après chaque douche, rendant impossible l'accès au lavabo ou aux toilettes ensuite. Malgré notre demande, aucune raclette ne nous a été fournie pour gérer la situation.
Côté service, c'est tout aussi décevant :
- Pas de serviette pour les mains à votre arrivée, et on nous annonce qu'il faut payer 5 euros pour en obtenir une !
Le ménage laisse à désirer, et avec l'humidité constante dans la chambre, les serviettes ne sèchent jamais et ne sont pas remplacées.
à ce niveau de prix équivalent à certains hôtels à Athènes, ces conditions sont clairement pas correctes.
- Bugra (10/5): - Extreme friendly personal. The beds are curtained and very comfortable. More than enough toilettes on each floor. There is an elevator but if it doesnt work, you have to climb your floor. The key cards dont function sometimes.
- Thomas (10/5): Modern and refreshing hostel! - Modern, comfortable beds, toilets and showers were clean, rooms were clean, staff were friendly! Kitchen was on a whole different level, it was so nice.
- Hüseyin Fırat (7/5): -
- Phillip (8/5): - Very welcoming and helpful staff. Staff proficiency in English was very good. Facilities available were unexpected, but very useful. Rooms/dormitories were clean, tidy and of ample space. Towels were provided for guests as well as lockers with keys for the built-in locks on the doors. Beds were comfortable and the space in between the bunks were just right, and the beds were already made before guest arrival. Shower cubicles were a bit on the small side, but the showers themselves were excellent. Pillows were too thick, and high which affected the support of the head and neck, resulting in broken sleep.
- Maria (10/5): - Personnel was very friendly and helpful. The kitchen is handy, clean. I liked everything
- Konstantine (10/5): - Everything about this hostel is perfect - the atmosphere, the staff, the cleanliness. It’s even better than in the photos. The location is also excellent.
In short, if you’re looking for a budget-friendly yet comfortable stay, don’t think twice - this is the place to book.

- Monique (7/5): Kein richtiger Hostel Vibe und eher ein teures 2er Zimmer mit schlechtem Standard - Die Lage ist wirklich großartig. Sowohl im Viertel als auch in den Stadtkern. Auch das Personal ist super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Insgesamt ist das Hostel sehr modern. Das 2er Zimmer war gefühlt einfach nur ein umgebautes Dorm. Deswegen gab es wohl auch keine ordentlichen Schränke, Haken oder Fenster. Am Boden lagen extrem viele Haare. Insgesamt ist es nicht das sozialste Hostel, sondern eher sehr anonym - falls man so etwas denn sucht.

- marc felix (10/5): - Everything is new , clean and quiet. Great staff with the best customer service ! The place is perfect!
- marc felix (10/5): Greek hospitality - Great modern decoration with professional and friendly staff... perfectly clean and very quiet...great organization Everything is perfect
- Danial (5/5): Overall, it’s a very noisy place - Bed was comfortable and has curtains
Staff were friendly and helpful
They had storage for backpack or luggage i case you need to keep them before check in or after check out which was nice. Bathroom was often busy in the morning, which made it a bit inconvenient.
After check in, I was quite tired and hoping to rest, but the cleaner stayed in the room for about 30 minutes from 14:00 and the noise made it impossible to sleep, I think they should clean up from 11-14
Although I booked a 6bed room and it was mostly empty, one of the other guests was very noisy. He didn’t seem to know how to behave in a hostel, coming and going late at night and making a lot of noise, so two of us couldn’t sleep at all. In the end, after we told him clearly, he finally stopped around 4 am😫
The doors in the hallway and other rooms make a lot of noise when opening and closing, which makes it almost impossible to sleep in the morning.
- Rafic (10/5): My favorite place in Athens - Always my favorite place to stay in Athens - everything is well organized and clean - but the most important is the friendly staff at reception
- YU (10/5): - 厨房很大,厨具很多
- Fernandes (10/5): - Tudo novo e organizado. Toda a recepção nos atendeu muito bem. Local de refeições muito organizado. Espero que os hóspedes mantenham assim sempre. Os quartos e banheiros lindos e como disse tudo novinho com cheiro agradável.
- Martin (10/5): Modern, clean, centrally located hostel in Athens - Central location. Great facilities, large clean kitchen with new equipment. Comfortable clean dorms and excellent bathrooms. Even great washing facilities in the basement. Best hostel I’ve had the pleasure to stay at in Athens and great value.
- Aleksandra (8/5): -
- OLEKSII (8/5): -
- Heidi (8/5): - Super vriendelijk personeel
24/7
Ruime keuken met alle nodige materiaal
Dakterrasje
Contacten leggen met jong en oud
Lokkers
Dagelijks kuisen van de kamers
De gordijntjes aan de bedden zorgen voor een goeie privacy
... Zeker bij kamer van 8 is het vaak een komen en gaan van mensen, ook gedurende de nacht, waardoor je nachtrust vaak verstoord is
Niet iedereen hecht er belang aan dat de personen na hen ook een propere wc willen...

Special thnx to honey and ali for thier professional way of handling problems and thier behaviour and hospitality Small kitchen
- Fernandes (10/5): -
- Wieslaw (8/5): Dobre miejsce, do wykorzystania ponownie w przyszłości - Znakomita praca personelu. Grzeczny, uczynny, szybko reagujący na niedogodności. Doskonała i zauważalna czystość. Dobry stosunek jakości do ceny. Znaczna ilość miejsc sanitarnych przypadających na 1 pokój. Brak informacji o ogólnodostępnej kuchni i możliwościach oraz warunkach korzystania z niej
- Dian (10/5): Worth every penny - Absolutely amazing. Beautiful lounge and kitchen, professional staff, convenient location. Room’s ventilation is not so good.
- Rafic (10/5): Best place to stay in Athens - Everything perfect - clean room and bed - big and modern kitchen - friendly staff

- Rafic (10/5): My favorite place to stay in Athens - An ordinary building from the outside but an outstanding modern design from the inside - everything perfect in interior architecture, colors and comfort - clean room and comfortable bed - friendly staff
- Kevin (10/5): It was the perfect place. - It was a great place to stay . It was very modern and close to everything
- Arlene (10/5): Ottimo posto dove soggiornare, magari in gruppo - Tutto, pulitissima e accogliente Mi è stato detto da amici locali che la posizione purtroppo non era delle migliori ahimè e quindi non era il caso che tornassi a casa da sola. Ho sempre preso un taxi (5-6€ per tornare) e onestamente mi sembrava tranquilla la via dove era situata la struttura, non saprei dire però del circondario.
- Belfiore (10/5): - La struttura è molto moderna, lo staff molto disponibile e in generale mi sono trovata davvero bene. In camera da parte degli altri c'è sempre stata molta educazione e silenzio, non ho nulla di cui lamentarmi. L'unico neo è la distanza dai punti nevralgici di Atene (a quasi 20 minuti a piedi), per quando ci si possa avvalere della metro (a 10 minuti). In generale il quartiere mi è sembrato un po' degradato e non completamente sicuro.
- ISHAQ (10/5): - الموقع النظافة
- Arcadi Davidov (10/5): - Everything about this hostel was great!
The staff, location, and cleanliness - 10!
They provide free luggage storage before check-in and after check-out. Excellent kitchen.
It's clear that the management cares about the guests' comfort, not just about collecting money for their stay.
Thank you for everything!
