Great location, very clean, and amazing friendly staff

Lovely hostel, great staff, good location, beautiful view of the Acropolis from the rooftop. Also the restaurant that's attached to the hostel (Zampano) is fabulous, some of the best food I've had in Athens, you also get 15% discount if you're lodged at City Circus

Very clean room and common areas. For a hostel really good overall feeling. Fellow travellers were bit older than I have met earlier in other hostels. So not so many young people. But I am also a bit older nowadays so I didn't mind it at all.

helpful, caring staff; Nice rooms, especially for families and younger travellers

the hostel is amazing, the building is so well decorated, the staff is really nice, super well located, wonderful. I’ll be staying there the next time.

This hostel is probably one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in. The rooms were spacious, the showers were powerful, hot water was reliable, the air con worked, there was a lift, it had a roof-top terrace with acropolis view, common areas were well-designed and immaculate, and the staff friendly. The Hostel even provides free wine and nibbles most nights and free socialising activities for the sociable and/or solo traveller - a lovely touch! Room-wise, My friend and I each had our own private room so cannot comment on the dorms, but my room (Comfort Double, Room 207) was the ‘wedge’ end room and had a fantastic view of the Acropolis, a little Juliette -style balcony and was massive in size with plants, a variety of furniture and most unexpectedly, a chandelier. My friends room (Superior Double, Room 105) had a balcony with chairs and a table and a massive shower. We were both absolutely delighted with our stay, and cannot recommend it enough.

The place and the environment make you feel at ease :)

very comfortable bed, great location (less than 10 mins walk to the train station and probably 10 mins + comfortable stroll to the Acropolis. With 24 hrs reception and good restaurant downstairs

The service and efficiency of staff is better than any 5 star hotels we have stayed at. Nothing is too difficult. Laundry done at 10 euros and returned smelling fresh and folded is such a luxury. And we could store our bag for 1 euro a day securely while we were on a cruise. Everything about what a guest needs has been considered and made available. And to top it off, room is cleaned everyday and we had the Acropolis view room with a balcony! Can’t top that!!

everything was perfect. i would go there again. amazing breakfast!! close to party places and bars.
