    Well first of all let me say the pros and cons Pros location is perfect,very near the acropolis and in same time very near the meeting point for most of pickup for tours for day trips, I rented the full room was very big in size and it was clean, water pressure and shower was so good, Owner Nadyia is friendly and supportive Cons there was a window that never been able to be closed it also bring cold air at winter which wake me up at night cuz i cant tolerate the cold breeze even when i turn the heater Another cons they dont clean in between days, no supply of shampoo or clean towels I talked to owner and she explained they are hostel not hotel but for me i was not paying 20 e per day but rather 70 e which i would like to say u can do much better as an example toyota and lexus they are coming from same company but cuz who but lexus pays more, they do t get the same treatment, All over experience was positive but out of honesty i have to say the full experience

    What I didn’t like was that there was only one bathroom with two toilets for several rooms, which could be inconvenient during busier times. Additionally, the slightly older interior might not appeal to everyone. However, these issues were minor since it wasn’t busy during my stay, and they didn’t overshadow the overall positive aspects of the hostel.

    I liked the great value for the price, the breakfast with plenty of options when you arrive early, and the friendly staff who even allowed an early check-in at no extra fee. The hostel is very close to attractions like the Acropolis Museum, and I felt safe and comfortable during my stay. The interior, while not very new, was still clean, which added to the overall positive experience.

    Only con was the mattress was thin and there wasn’t a balcony on the room as the listing said.

    Great stay if you’re on a tight budget like us! Staff are lovely, they provide a great breakfast with lots of options. Bedrooms are very basic, but there’s a nice courtyard that we spent lots of time in. Bathrooms were cleaned multiple times a day. Location is great, right in the heart of Plaka! Overall we would definitely stay again.

    I got great value in the winter season. If you stay in the peak season one will have to pay that bit extra. Athens could.be chilly in the morning if you go like me off-season.

    This was a very nice guesthouse in Athens old town, right beside Temple of Zeus, Hadrian's Arch and the Acropolis. The breakfast was included and had some great options. Staff were professional.

    Budget friendly, ideal location
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Quadruple Room with Balcony
    • Stayed 1 night

    Thin blankets, too few toilets, the top bunk support rail was not attached.

    We received a warm welcome into this old building set in a quiet side street in the Plaka district, just a 5-minute walk from Syntagma metro station. Our large, high-ceilinged room had one bunk and two singles, sockets for all, and a small washbasin and mirror in the corner. The old, shuttered wooden doors led to a small balcony overlooking the street and an office building opposite. The beds were super comfortable but the blankets were quite thin for the December air, so we had to sleep with the air-con set to 'heat' - which was fine, though not ideal for the environment. There was a shared lockable shower-and-toilet room, a separate lockable toilet, and an unlockable area with a frosted-glass shower cubicle. Modernly decorated and clean, but I imagine not enough facilities for a busy period. The highlight for us after a tiring day exploring the city was the communal room at the end of the tiled courtyard/garden area- a long table with benches for meals, and a living area with rug and woodstove and a giant TV screen connected to Netflix. Boardgames, books and a friendly local cat added to the cozy vibe. Breakfast was packed croissants, fresh fruit, cereals, boiled eggs, simple sandwich ingredients, and coffee and tea. Get there early or you'll lose out, as they serve the bare minimum for guests and the milk goes fast! The old town highlights were just minutes away. Big lockers are available for just 2 EUR (unlimited time). Overall- an excellent place to stay for those on a budget wanting to get a feel for old Athens and who aren't fussy about shared bathrooms and the like. Staff were friendly and helpful.

    Excellent location a stone's throw from restaurants and shops in the old center of Athens. The breakfast is decent in terms of variety, of an acceptable quality, but you have to be there no later than 9 o'clock if you want to find everything it can offer if the hotel is full. The receptionist is kind and very proactive in solving any problem that may arise. A plus is the garden behind the hotel with tables and chairs where residents can socialize.

    The bed makes squeaky noise during the night when you turn your body. But it wasn’t a big problem if you are not a light sleeper.

    Staff were all nice and friendly. Good location - easy to find and close to supermarkets and station. Shower with really hot water.
