1. Location - nice, safe area close to restaurants / bars / sights and public transport 2. Easy check-in and could store my luggage before check-in time 3. Friendly, helpful staff - amended my booking to a smaller dorm at check-in with no issues. 4. Comfortable bed, there is a screen you can pull down for privacy and big lockers for storage 5. Good value for money - would recommend if you are spending a few days in Athens.

The room was simple but spacious and very clean, and the bed was really comfortable. The location is perfect - close to the city centre but still quiet, just a few steps from the central market and about a 10-minute walk to the Monastiraki metro station. There’s a big, well-equipped kitchen, a nice co-working area, and even a small workout room with some basic equipment (not a full gym, though). The real highlight is the rooftop bar - the terrace has amazing views of Athens, including the Acropolis!

This place is great, in my opinion the reason is because of the people who work here. I am grateful to all of them, it is very cozy in any season, I have stayed here in summer and winter. As a gift you get a location 2-5 minutes from the subway, around there are cafes, bars, stores, many of which work until late at night. And once again I want to say that the staff here is like a miracle.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Great staff. Great service. Good value for money. Great location. Quiet. Great lockers (however it could be cheaper (it's free in some of the hostels), but I would say that yours is very safe with the PIN code). Great rooftop. The beds are comfortable.

Best hostel I’ve stayed exactly like pictures, close metro station that goes direct to airport, close to many historical sites including Acropolis and different Agora. Dormitory has private bathroom and they are all very clean. Bedding is comfortable. Strong air conditioning. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly, would definitely stay again if back at Athens.

The hostel provides a cheap place to sleep in a convenient location in the centre of Athens. The facilities are fairly clean and the staff are fairly helpful. There are washing and left luggage facilities. The Omonia area is not as threatening as some people would have you believe and the immediate vicinity of the hostel felt safe.

Cozy hostel, friendly staff. Great way to travel on a budget and meet new people. Plenty of common areas, and that perfect view from the terrace - definitely worth a stay. Bed was comfy. Bathrooms nice and clean. Such a lovely cleaning lady attended every morning. Great location too - just 5 minutes walk from one of the 3 surrounding metro stations. Plenty of large and small corner shops, coffee and food places around the area. Would stay again without thinking twice. Thanks for a pleasant experience!
