Location, location, location. I stay here about 4 times a year. Getting to and from the airport is convenient via the metro. If I am only staying one day, the Athens flea market is a regular stop. Other points of interest in central Athens are convenient to get to by walking or via the metro. The rooftop bar has a good view of the Acropolis, etc. I always go up for a drink and a chat with the bartender. I also chat with whoever is at the front desk, coming and going. Most of the staff know me by sight.

Jeffrey United States of America

Rooftop bar was fantastic and the bartender was kind and informative, along with the other staff. Clean private rooms. Great location.

Sarah Canada

Was only here for 1 quick night (most of which I spent out at dinner, etc) but had a great time. Check in was easy, clean, and I’ve heard the roof is great but didn’t get a chance to make it while it was open (it closes at midnight I think, and with the gorgeous Athens summer nights, it’s easy to stay out later than that!)

Michelle United States of America

Great location and great value. Stew from Monistiraki square. Excellent!

David Canada

Staff was great, the room was great, the location is great, the rooftop bar is awesome. Only stayed for two nights but it made us wish we stayed for longer. The beds were really confortable which was an excellent surprise. Great value overall

Lionel Switzerland

Location is walking distance to the Parthenon, museums, and several quality restaurants. It’s the perfect balance of fun and a good quality updated bathroom.

Alaura Greece

Location was amazing! Right off metro from airport and super close to major sites. Also- the rooftop bar was super convenient/cheap plus the view was AMAZING!

Amanda United Kingdom

We had a spacious terrras and view. The room is bigger as the most rooms in Athens. The hotel had a lot of facilities. The lockersystem is top (€) The staff is very helpful and friendly

Barry Belgium

Great location! I stayed in a private room with balcony and the view from the balcony is absolutely amazing - same as from famous rooftop bars nearby. Was there in off season so probably the hostel is a lot busier normally but I enjoyed the stay 👍🏻

Vilya United Kingdom

Staff was great and helpful. The location is incredible! Bathroom was clean and they had soap and shampoo.
