    Shower didn’t have a door so the whole floor got wet. Luckily I put my belongings on the seat. But everything else was great!

    The balcony was awesome!

    No elevator and the luggage storage takes your 2€ but still doesn’t work for the 3 of us trying. But we left the bags after dropping 10€ and our items were safe. Need more bathrooms too.

    Very clean, well located just behind Plaka

    Nothing to complain about. excellent cost benefit. I will just suggest o add a curtain in the bathroom to avoid water everywhere when the shower was on.

    The location of the hotel is the best, in the center of everything, walking distance to the museums, public transportation, the Parthenon and restaurants. The staff is super friendly and helpful with information as well as resourceful. They allow me to let my baggage after the checkout, my ferry to Milos was at night. Thank you!

    I did not like that in breakfast they are not refilling the products when its getting over. Even the breakfast was for 8 to 10 but the things were getting finished by 8.30 or 9 am Hence this is the only negative point . Rest all is wonderful.

    I liked the location of hotel as its nearby from all the places. I liked the facilities that the bed was clean and room was nice as well as balcony view.

    Walls are very very thin, you can literally hear everythinhg, we had some lousy neighboors which not bothered us but they were partying in their rooms

    Good location, bedrooms are simple (a bed + sink), but clean and well maintained. The staff was incredibly friendly, and you're right by Plaka. Shared Bathrooms were modern and clean

    Smaller points : The ac temperature could not be controlled at times and there is no fridge inside. The Syntagma metro and bus stops are 10 mins away. In case you are arriving/ departing with a heavy luggage availing public transportation only, you can face a difficulty. The main door lock is a bit tricky to open but not that annoying I must say.

    The location is great as it is less than 5 mins away from Plaka, the happening center for food, visit to ruins and shopping. The building is a vintage property with modern facilities. Wifi was good and there were two to three charging points. The room and the toilet were very clean, spacious. The breakfast was basic but good. There is an open sitting area inside, attached to the dining hall, which is quite appealing, specially during the evening. The staff were really helpful as they allowed us to keep our luggage inside the property for only 15 euros ( for 3 days) since we had plans to visit a Greek island and again come back to the hotel for another fresh set of booking.

    Well it is a quite old building, which means you can hear everyone and everything going around, especially at night. My friend and I weren‘t really happy with the mattress, but I guess that’s quite objective. The bathroom situation was a bit weird, because there was a bathroom in another bathroom and you couldn’t lock the door to the first one. The „second“ shower had no front glass doors which resulted in everything getting quite wet. Unfortunately the lady at the front desk wasn‘t the friendliest….we didn’t have breakfast since we had to leave quite early, so I can’t say anything about it. The wifi was actually quite good.

    The hostel has the perfect location for sightseeing, shopping and the metro is very close. We had a double room that had a little sink, a fridge and the bed. There wasn‘t much space left for other stuff, but it was totally ok since we had only hand luggage. Our room also had a balcony, but we didn‘t really use it since there was an office building on the other side and we were gone for most of the day. The „ indoor garden“ where there’s the kitchen seemed actually quite nice.

    The bathroom is very small and one of the showers at the main floor has no privacy, just a glass door in the middle of the rooms hall. Also, one of the receptionists is not friendly at all. She did my check in when we arrived at night. I stayed at the hotel 3 nights but every time she saw me during my stay she stopped me to ask who I was, in which room I was staying and request to see my passport in a very unpleasant way.

    The hostel is very well located, in Plaka, very close to the Acropolis, museums, restaurants and bars. Breakfast was simple but good enough. The hostel is clean and has good WiFi.

    Could be a bit loud with other guests. Our aircon would turn itself off so we had to manually turn it back on every time we woke up too hot again

    Really good location! Close to bus stop and metro to take us from airport and to ferry. Walking distance to everything we wanted to see and lots of good restaurants and shops.

    Bathroom was okay, made quite a mess as there was not much of a screen and the floor filled up with water as the drain didn't work very well, as with a lot of the old buildings in Europe

    Nice and close to everything. Staff arranged a taxi for us and made breakfast early as we had an early ferry. Nice simple room with a sink and mirror.
