It’s a good hostel close to metro and city. Private rooms but shared washrooms(shared still clean). Very pricey compared to other hotels. If you wanna leave your comfort or luxury and still be near to city at low cost, then it is your place .

Don't be fooled to check in there

In about a paragraph, I will sum up my experience. First of all, as a frequest traveler, NEVER go out in the middle of the night in the streets around the hotel. The place is crowded with Transgender prostitutes on every corner as well as mobs of drunk guys and you never know what they would do. I was advised by a store clerk to never go out with any belongings due to the excessive amount of thieves. The neighborhood is not at all welcoming and filled with drug addicts that storm the streets at night. Second, regarding the hostel, don't be fooled when they state 24-hour reception service. When I arrived there was nobody and I had to wait 2 hours in the lobby for the receptionist to come and assist me. Moreover, they ripped me off and charged me 15 Euros for a room when on Expedia it states 8 Euros as my receipt says. Also, I am pretty sure I prepaid the booking via credit card but they claimed Expedia did not charge me anything and it was just a booking procedure and I am meant to pay them by cash. Last but not least, the receptionists are very creepy, one of them scolded me and embarrassed me for losing my key exclaiming that I am an "irresponsible baby". They look at you in very creepy ways and their eyes are always red and smell like weed. I advise noone to stay at this aweful excuse of a hostel. It's true you get what you pay for but the minimum is being honest about what they provide for services and amneties.

Very unprofessional staff

First of all, I prepaid for this hotel a sum of 90$, around 8€ per day for 9 days. the hotel informed me that they did not receive any payment from expedia and that I should pay them by cash. I ended up paying 15€ per day to a slum excuse of a hotel with creepy staff that don’t make you feel welcomed and that you are a burden to them.

Prostitute and criminals in front of this location

Do not book here! This is not a hotel! When we got there after our flight was delayed, the Taxi driver warned us about the location not being safe. There were two prostitutes in front of the location. The lobby had no lights on and the door was locked. While we are trying to get buzzed in the locked door with the assistance of our Taxi Driver who spoke the staff's language, we were almost robbed by three guys. We had to run to the car and leave for our safety. This location would not give us a refund even thought I explained everything! This was a nightmare!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

This is not a hotel more like a brothel.

When we drove up the taxi driver told us we were in a very bad area which was obviously. Two prosstitutes standing in front, we couldn't get in because the light were off and doors closed. While the taxi driver is trying to get us buzzed in the building, three guys are trying to rob us. It was a very scary moment. We left and tried to get a refund and they refused. Days prior to arriving I tried to verify if it was a hostel and they didn't respond. When I explained what happens and asked for a refund, now they respond that hostels do not give refunds.

Cheap simple hostel in the city center

If you have low expectations and want to stay almost in the center of Athens for a very cheap price, this hostel might be OK for you. It is 2 metro stations (or 20 mins walk) north of Syntagma in a run-down area with not very good reputations, better not to go out late in the night, but during the day it is OK. The hostel is on the 5th floor of an old house, with lifts and is very old from inside. Rooms are basic, but OK, bed was good, wi-fi was working. Toilets and shower are shared, but each room has a sink inside. There is a well equipped kitchen with fridge, microwave and appliances. All the premises are very old, but still working. The day receptionist was a very strange person (seemed exactly like a drug dealer), but was surprisingly helpful and spoke decent English. The female manager persuaded me to pay cash, but accepted my credit card in the end. So, if you just want to sleep cheap, it is OK, but do not have high expectations. Single room costs 15 EUR, you cannot expect more for this price.

Don't stay

Terrible, don't expect any help from the staff. They were also bickering throughout my whole stay seems like the staff is a family and a couple was arguing for my whole stay. Also you can't check in early as there is no one working early. There was a couple that was trying to check in around 9am and kept ringing the bell at the desk and they never came out waited for 2 hours. Hotels/hostels usually give you maps and I was not given anything. Also I booked a single room with one bed and I had to share with 3 other guys.... I've stayed at hostels before so I don't mind it but when I pay for a single room I expect a single room , I didn't wanna say anything because I checked in at midnight and didn't want to have to look for a new place especially since they already had taken my money via credit card. All in all the ratings are terrible for this place for a reason.

Very good value, free internet access and printing

Very good value, free internet access and printing, room wi-fi works well. Excellent 24 hour staff, friendly, accommodating, service orientated! Just ask and they go above and beyond the call of duty to make you happy. Nice HOT showers with great water pressure. Rooms are basic with a sink in the room we had. Good location in central Athens, very close - 10 minutes to the National Archaeological Museum and Omonia square where there is a Metro line.

Bad experience

It was the worst experience ever. I booked this hostel and they didn't even reserve my room so I had nowhere to stay. Across the street there was a prostitution hotel. Everyone in that neighborhood stares at you.
