The overall cleanliness of the space, and the facilities could be upgraded (more showers at disposal) to allow for a more comfortable and enjoyable stay!

I had a great time at the Acropolis View Dream Hostel. The reception staff were incredibly friendly and nice, the room was comfortable with an air conditioner at its disposal, and the rooftop terrace was super, especially at sunset. I very much enjoyed my stay, a stay which far exceeded my expectations given the price point.

The ugliest hostel and the worst “communication” I’ve ever had with booking accommodation!!!!!!!!!!! I paid nothing, literally!!!!

I wouldn’t recommend this Hostel to anyone. I wrote them about my arrival time and when I got at the location nobody was there, nobody answered on interfon and also on the phone. So I waited for more than one hour and as still nobody appeared I had to change the accommodation. And not only that beside their really unprofessional behavior I couldn’t refund my money. Also from the outside , as I could see only that, looked so bad and dirty, like a garage not like hostel. Nobody called me back to check what happens and they had my calls and even messages before my arrival. Don’t go there the worst expirience I’ve ever had with booking accommodation!!!!!!

The smell upon entering should have given me a hint as to the conditions of this place. Bathrooms never cleaned; toilet paper wasn’t refilled until so many people complained about it. I avoided the bathroom as much as I could because of the amount of hair and trash on the ground. For the amount of people in the hostel, the bathroom sizes were completely inadequate: one toilet and 2 showers for all girls on our floor, but several for the males? I was told upon arrival there weren’t enough bed sheets for my bed and that they would be brought to my room within the hour. I went sightseeing in the meantime. Bed sheets were never given. I had to go behind the reception desk myself to get the last top sheet available. Mattress covers ripped to shreds. The only thing missing was a cockroach, though if one had shown up I wouldn’t have been surprised.

The hostel is cheap. For what I paid, I shouldn’t have expected much.

Neighbourhood was slightly sketchy at night. Wouldn't recommend for safety. Also requested a single gender room but was not allocated one. Doors are also not locked and anyone could take any bed when the staff were not around

Location was convenient near the train station

There was a bit of noise at night from the people socializing at the terrace.

Staff was very friendly and hospitable, the place was clean and it had good wifi.

For a place that stayed closed for 3 years just to reopen 1 week before our stay, you'd think it'd be better prepared. Nope. The big lack of organization from their part (basically no control of check-ins and outs, overbooking problems, changing of rooms in regards to what you reserved...) was the main thing that gave us a big headache. To be fair, they did reimburse us for most of the price we paid. Just hope they can get it together at some point... Wishing genuinely good luck.

Terrible hostel experience. I already checked in at 3 pm in the afternoon. I came back at night and found someone sleeping in my bed. Hostel puts two persons in one single bed. Then they just work at 10 am to 9 pm. No one can't deal with it. They don't respond to messages or phone calls. They don't refund money and don't reply. Worst hostel experience ever.

Where do I even begin with this unforgettable disaster of a hostel experience? My stay at this hotel felt like a bizarre episode of a Big Brother reality show gone wrong. Let's start with the star of the show: the room. Upon arrival, my heart sank as I realized that the room I had booked bore no resemblance to the glossy images displayed on Booking.com. It was so small, I felt like I was staying in a shoebox. Shoebox which was built in the middle of the rooftop. Rooftop?! Sounds fancy, right? Wrong! I quickly discovered that this place served as a gathering spot for most hostel guests. From morning till night, their chatter and laughter seeped through my windows, eradicating any hope for rest. Privacy? Forget about it! Rooftop visitors could freely gaze directly into my room. I had to keep the curtains always down to avoid feeling like a main attraction in the human aquarium. To make matters worse, there was only one socket in the entire room. Yes, you read that right. One sad power socket. So, if you're traveling with a partner and both of you have electronic devices, good luck charging them simultaneously. It's a true Darwinian struggle, my friend! And the cherry on the top: the "private" toilet. Picture a claustrophobic space with zero ventilation, conveniently located outside your room in the public corridor. All in all, my stay at this hotel was a masterclass in disappointment. If you're a fan of tight spaces, lack of privacy, limited power sockets, and dodgy surroundings, then this is your paradise. But for the rest of the people seeking comfort, privacy, and a touch of sanity, I suggest looking for accommodation elsewhere. May your future adventures be blessed with roomy accommodations, unobstructed vistas, and the sweet sound of silence. Safe travels!

This hostel ticks all the right boxes for a comfortable and convenient stay. The beds are comfortable and provide a good night's rest. The air conditioning is effective, which is especially important during hot summer nights. You won't have to worry about running out of outlets to charge your devices, as there are plenty throughout the room. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home. Overall, a great option for travelers looking for a comfortable stay without breaking the bank.

The location was not great. I was warned immediately not to go out alone. My room had the bathroom fan in it, which was noisy (I wear headphones to sleep so wasn’t a problem as such for me but can imagine for some maybe!) I had a double private room, but one bed had the worst mattress ever. Again, not a problem as one was useable. No doors on the showers, just a curtain. All unisex. No shower head holder, so you had to hold the shower head to wash, And the curtain. (On arrival) Overheard one girl from a dorm just say she was leaving as noisy all night.

The staff stayed up for my 2am expected arrival, but actually it was more like 3am due to ferry delays. Which was nice to see a friendly face after a long journey and in the early hours of the morning! The woman was lovely and helpful and very kind. The room was clean, large, with aircon and decent enough wifi. Kitchen had most things you would expect. Short walk to the underground to get you to centre.
