Good location in Athens”

Convenient for sightseeing

I stayed for 3 nights at this hotel.  It's easy to get most of places to see in Athens on foot. It's very convenient. The rooms and common area were clean and comfortable.  And all of staff were very kind and helpful.  You can have a free coffee and tea, also use free wifi in your rooms.

Room comfort and price, location is central as well

this hotel is located near to the shopping district of athens. the room provided to us had 4 single beds and was very spacious. the bathroom is equipped with bathtub. wifi is available in room. they provided fresh towels in sealed packets which were nice thought for hygiene. the area is surrounded by many immigrants shops and businesses places. however police officers were stationed nearby to the entrance of the hotel making it not an issue to walk around. staffs were friendly. they also served free coffee 24hours at the lobby.

Reasonably Priced for some little discomforts”

The photo used is not actually the hostel itself. It was a nearby one (I'm not sure if it is the same owners) but I was misled since I went there first. Although the location is within the city, this is in the midst of a bustling noisy market place dominated by Indians, Bangladeshis, etc. I think this its downside plus there's no kitchen but their price compensate for these little discomforts.

Pros - cheap and close to the centre of Athens and public transport. The room was a decent size. Cons - sheets so old and thin they ripped just from sleeping on them, dripping tap, nothing to hold the shower head up so you have to hold it in one hand, a peeling bath, intermittent water, lots of traffic noise even 8 floors up, staff that seemed indifferent.

Cheap, near center”

I was using a dorm, which was fine and clean in general, worth the price. The bathroom was pretty old tho, but clean (what possible). No lockers and no plugs next to the bed. They give you towels. Luggage can be left at reception. The area can be scary for some people as it's drugs area, but I've not seen aggressively at all there. Furthermore, everything is really cheap around. Center is 10 min walking.

the hotel is in the city center, metro lines approximately 5 min. (walking), the acropolis 15. the rooms are cleaned every day, and the staff is friendly and helpful. in the lobby they have wi-fi for free, but it also worked in my room (2nd floor). but pay attention, because the neighborhood is pretty dangerous, there are many immigrants, and they often make mess. f.e. i spent there 2 days and the police had to come to our street both nights.

To be honest, I was abit concerned about the location of the hotel because of the surrounding areas. You have to walk 10-15min away to get to where the crowd is. Though there's police monitoring the area but not in all streets so I had to be sure I get to the hotel before dark. The hotel interior is old so don't expect much.
