There are many other choices of hostels in Athens, and I recommend you avoid this one. Pros: cheap, good location, grocery store, kitchen, lockers, secure front door Cons: 1. It’s dirty. I was awake in my bed in the morning and I watched one of the staff leave the fitted sheet on that a previous guest just stayed in and just dust away some of the hair and debris without changing the sheet. Not clean or covid safe at all. The comforters are not washed between guests and they smell. The bathrooms always have body hair. 2. Inappropriate touching from the owner to guests. He tried to hold my hand several times longer than a normal handshake. I talked to another female guest and she said the same thing. I get weird vibes from the whole place as well. Female travelers, I recommend to avoid unless you like this kind of attention 3. Lol there’s two small bowls in the hostel kitchen. One day I found a big bowl and as I was eating out of it, the owner told me he needed it back because it belonged to the apartment upstairs. He paused as though he could take it right that second. I told him I would be done with it in 5 minutes. Awkward pause again and he said okay. I recommend providing more bowls so we don’t have to share between floors. Also, I ate out of a mixing bowl the 4 days I was there because the small blue ones are like for kids size. 4. Rooms are very cramped and small. I was in a 6 person female dorm and there was a refill any space to move. I don’t recommend if you are claustrophobic. I’m not, and this was still cramped for me

This is the creepiest hostel in Athens according to city dwellers. Owner is hostile to guests. When you enter the first hostel, their hostile looks are very strange. The hostel is not as seen in the photos. This man is a total scam. The Greek government needs to revoke this man's hostel license. There are much more wonderful and friendly hostels in Athens. Please don't spoil your holiday with this trickster.

Terrible experience. We had warned we would arrive late which was fine. When we arrived at 22h (coming from the airport) the owner who let us wait 20 minutes first told us there was no place for us. He had booked a room for us without asking us in a hotel terribly rated with bedbugs, unsafe neighborhood and we needed to pay extra for the taxi. The owner just put us in the situation but didn't seemed sorry at all. Unfortunately we couldn't leave a rating on Booking as we didn't stay there. Google ratings more accurately reflect the experience with this hostel. Couldn't rate 0 otherwise I would have.

Cheap for a reason. Staff rude and arguing with one another. Failed to read booking notes/texts/calls mesaages and arrival time. So I didn't have a place to stay for the night, ended up pretty much sleeping rough. One staff member comming into the toilets, dorm and showers without knocking. Don't know if the guy lives in the dorms with the men?? Really weird introduction to my stay in Athens.

I had booked 3 days and I have arrived there but nobody was to open the door so I had to call them to show up. SECONDLY I had booked for 4 beds room they gave me 6 beds room. The room was smelly and not clean at all. Very small bathroom and people there made a lot of noise even after 2am. Not worth it all.

Really Nice hostel, Andreas is really nice amd help host. The hostel is in front of the bis stop so you’re in dowtown in 10-15 minutes.

I had a stay in this hostel in 2022 summer. I do not recommend this hostel, even for the low price. The owner is disorganized and overbooks, I had to wait 3 hours for a room. The place was also messy in general and bathrooms small. Breakfast was alright, but it is prepared by the owner. It also made women in general to be uncomfortable. Location is not the best, you do need to walk or take a bus to the center.

Great place for staying! Great people around!

TRUST ME-DO NOT BOOK HERE. Very, very, very shady and unprofessional. Do not waste your time, money, or sanity. We made a reservation WELL in advance. I emailed the night before to confirm. We arrive at the property and they have mysteriously endured a “flood”. Through a series or ridiculous events, the manager later confessed to straight canceling our reservation. I will be following up with Hostel World, etc, but DO NOT STAY HERE. Trust me. Also the pictures on their website are insanely misleading. This place is located in a sketchy part of town and the exterior of the building is an absolute dump. There are so many beautiful and fun hostels in Athens, skip this one.

Was very creepy experience. We have been to many hostels/hotels and this one was probably the worst. First of all, you must look for it very well otherwise you wont be able to find it. Secondly, we felt little bit racism from owners’ side. Thanks to god we got our room but it was very weird, the whole building was. We were scared to sleep there and even though we had room with bacony, the owner said that previous visitor destroyed the balcony and toilet and thats why its not working. Towels were tooo small, the “deluxe” room is in someone else’s room+flat. We heard that our cleaning took long time because there were guests before us but the check out is until 11, so what they were doing there next 2 hours? Also, we didnt feel welcomed there at all. Owner/manager was constatly reminding us that we must do that and mustnt do that, as if we were kids. Would not recommend and would not come back.

BED BUGS Be careful they have bedbugs and in general the place is not very serious. I've been reaching out to them via email to get my money back for the nights I haven't stayed there but they just ignore it.

This was the worst place ever to stay at. They don't reply to your messages or calls. Make you pay in cash and don't give you receipt for payment. Said they would give me refund and it's been over 2 months I still don't have it. When I complained about BED BUGS the same night I stayed there with my swollen face and body they blamed the Chinese girl that was in the same room as me..... and that it's normal. You can never find any staff at the place, just terrible place. Can you just give me back my refund?! I have picture and voice recording proof of the staff saying he would pay me back and look it now, nothing.

WARNING BED BUGS! myself and my friend arrived here in the afternoon to check in, the owner was very condescending, talking to us as if we were children, and it seems a lot of reviews say the same. We laid in bed for about 45 minutes, whilst i read the reviews online, and saw many people saying that there are bed bugs. I quickly looked around my mattress and saw black / brown marks everywhere on the sheets (evidence of bed bugs), then lifted up the mattress and saw two bed bugs. We immediately got up and left and found a new place to stay. There are reviews from over a year ago talking about bed bugs here, the owner does not care! please do not stay here.

The good : cheap, close to center, lots of eating places around.kind of clean. The bad : no kind of measures against Covid. Lots of noise even after 11 o'clock night. Very small bathroom. I paid 2 days for breakfast, but didn't get it. First day when this happened I wait until 8.30, although one day before we agreed on 8.00, when I seen nobody prepare any kind of breakfast I left and eat into town. Good thing after all because the food wasn't that great. OK, second day breakfast I left to airport, very early, so at 3 am couldn't make the breakfast. But one day before when he asked we could find a solution. Anyway, it is what it is.

I arrived at this place and wow... I have never been so disappointed by an hostel. When I figured out the rooms were very very too little compared to the number of beds, and the hygiene was not that good also, I decided to look at the most recent rates about the place: I saw many comments about bed bugs so i jumped of my bed to raise up the mattress I was on and.... I found a bed bug. I went to see the manager to tell him, he didn't look like surprised and gave my money back without any question. DON'T GO and DON'T LOOK AT THE AVERAGE RATES, look the most recents, THIS PLACE IS A SCAM.

We had a reservation thorugh expedia and it was confirmed by the hotel and we paid already .when we arrived there was no room and a an rude employee/owner who tried to sell us to another place but it didnt work out . Expedia hotline was helpful though. So we went to a hotel closeby and had great gyros afterwards. Agrafa Ippokratus is the gyros place . delicious . thanassis is highly not recommended. richtige pfeifen

I warned of my late arrival. The hotel replied that there was no problem and claims to have a 24 hour reception. Once I arrived at the entrance of the hotel, no one answered me. I rang nothing. I called them nothing. I found myself at 2am in Athens without accommodation. A few days later I called the hotel, they explained to me that they had a power outage and clearly told me "go complain to the Prime Minister if you want" and hung up.

WARNING ⚠️ BED BUGS 🐜 You can spread and take it home, NO MONEY BACK for the horrible night... In the night we woke up itching and found a few in our bed on the wall and even showed the owner in the morning another crawling over the bed, he didn't seem to be surprised..

Our booking was cancelled.. not prior to our arrival, but when we got there. We had to wait first and then we were sent to another hotel in a dangerous area 30min from here. To our mind it was disapointing and unprofessional. After reading other comments, it seems that these cancellation are quite common, I could only advise not to book there.

(Translated by Google) Ending our stay here tonight! Well located, beautiful decoration, possibility to meet people of different nationalities, delicious breakfast, warmth and friendliness in service! Too bad I am a little embarrassed about speaking another language as it is a great opportunity to practice English! (Original) Encerrando essa noite nossa estadia aqui! Bem localizado, decoração linda, possibilidade de conhecer pessoas de diversas nacionalidades, café da manhã delicioso, cordialidade e simpatia no atendimento! Uma pena eu ser um pouco envergonhada no que se refere a falar outra língua, pois é uma ótima oportunidade de praticar inglês!

RUN! This place is hostel and an unsafe environment for solo travelling women. There is one balding man who is the perpetrator. The staff come into the female only rooms without knocking or knocking and then instantly coming in. There is no lock on the door so you cannot stop this, and you cannot lock them out if they have made you uncomfortable. I left 8 days early to a new safer hostel and feel very happy about my choice to do so. The place is also not as it seems, the pictures in the listing are VERY different than the actual location, with the only similarity being the curtains for the bed. Also BED BUGS???!!! I got one or two bites but one of the other people in my room got plenty more. The sheets are stained with bed bug goo (lol couldn’t find a better word), and under the sheet there was blood from someone else !! There is no reception area which means the staff linger in the common area, watching TV. No one hung out in the common area as it was an uncomfortable atmosphere. I think they also rent beds out to locals? which is not a problem in itself but they present themselves as an international hostel for travelers. It is a good location in terms of it being close to the bus stop and some lovely cafes! You get what you pay for 💁‍♀️ I will say there was one staff member who was very kind, he was a funny and kind man who did not take advantage. Thank you to him.

I would say that it's a true 4,5 star but I gave it 5 stars cause the hosts were really nice and helpful. I was working remotely during the days and they provided me with everything I needed: a small table, chair and an extender. Hostel is more or less clean. Still there is only 1 men's shower so sometimes it’s over-occupied. I see a lot of complaints here but believe me – you just need to ask if you feel uncomfortable or need something. And the hosts will do it. Just communicate and negotiate and everything will be all right. It’s a nice place to stay for couple of nights for really, really reasonable price. Helpful tips and tricks from Andreas and Thanasis are included :)

Good: Staff was good and friendly, check in was easy, Decor in the common area was good. Cheap ( I paid €10 per night for a 6 bed female dorm). Bad: Rooms are conjusted. I stayed there for a night. The AC wasn't working, so did not sleep at all the whole night. Outside was much cooler than inside the room. The lockers are small. Outside is very very very noisy even with the doors closed. Elevator was not working. The bedsheet was wet. Very small towel was provided. I would not go back again and would not recommend it to anyone.

As for the Skullbar terminal or "Thanasis Place" terminal. I don't know. Lost my phone here from Skullbar weird people. Tried return back couple of hours later to still not find my phone and including my keys. Not advisable to visit at all.

Amazing hostel for your holidays

Its a very pleasant stay here with warm welcome and helpful staffs..They sure know how to decorate the place very beautifully and looks so calm and peaceful...Most Importantly everything is so CLEANN and new...I've never been to a hostel that is so clean and calm like this! They also got all the facilities u need, kitchen and laundry all set..Plus the atmosphere here is very cheerful because everyone is just greeting and smiling at each others. Really recommended to everyone!

Very clean, safe and extremely nice stuff ready to help you with everything you might need! 100% recommend

Such an amazing place with kind and thoughtful hosts. They can tell you all the best spots in Athens and make you feel so at home. The bathrooms, bedrooms, and kitchen are all extremely clean. It’s also in the perfect location if you want to see the acropolis and walk through old town.

Clean room, nice location, cheap. I was there for 2 nights, in the first night there was no AC, it was so hot that I could not sleep. Everything else was fine. Clean towels every day and clean bathrooms although there was only 1 shower for each gender for more or less 30 people. Service could be nicer.

Great place to meet nice people. Amazing guest who know the best place in Athens!

Not like what u see in pic. Staff are nice but the env. Is mess

Rooms are clean. Breakfasts are very cheap and tasty. The hosts are true MVPs. They are very kind, talkative and friendly. During our stay my girlfriend got health problems and they did everything they could to help us. I sincerely recommend this place.

They didn't have our reservation ready when we got there. They told us come back in two days and they would have the room ready. When we came back the room was still not available, which then then asked us to come back two days later.

(Translated by Google) Clean, comfortable. Very friendly staff! Located close to the city center (30-40 minutes walk to Syntagma), in a quiet area. (Original) Чисто, уютно. Очень приветливый персонал! Расположен близко к центру города(30-40 минут пешком до Синтагмы), в спокойном районе.

Welcoming staff, clean rooms and bathrooms, pleasant interior design and quite good location - all for a good price.

Nobody was there to check me in. The phonenumber on the door remained unanswered and the one on the website not working. I had to find another hotel and they refuse to pay me back. SCAMMERS, DONT STAY!

Initially behave nice then tune change if we deny their other svc.

Confortable, clean, nice, close to go the important tourist attractions.

The place was very disappointing. I stayed there 16 days. From 9/1/2021 to 26/1/2021. It was big mistake that i prepaid the accomodation. First of all the bathroom was full of pubic hair, stuck all over the bathrooms' doors. It was disgusting. When i complained to the owner about it he insulted me, calling me names and insisted everything was clean, but it wasn't. On top of that the fridge in the third floor was smelling so bad, that when we were opening it, the smell was spreading in all over the living room. The reason for that was that the fridge was full of products that have passed their expiration date, 5 and 6 months ago, like expired eggs and sauses. I wonder why they haven't thrown them away yet. That was horrible. Furthermore in the balcony were " clean sheets" lying on the balcony floor for like 10 days.Furthermore the building is very old and the hostel doesn' t look like the photos. The area around the hostel is dangerous and dirty. The owner except for being rude, used to come at the apartment on third floor at 11:30 pm! One time he came into the apartment without even ring the doorbell!! and he scared me very much. That was very creepy. I have photos that prove the dirtiness in that place and the expired products in fridge. All in all it was horrible experience, i can' t think something positive. I do not recommend this hostel especially for female travelers, it it very creepy. This hostel is expensive for what it offers. There are much better value for money hostels in Athens.

Affordable, clean and well located hostel (in a nice neighborhood with all commodities around). Andreas welcomed us very well and gave us plenty of nice tips and advices! Thanks a lot and all the best guys! Nadya and Romain

Near Lycabettus Hill. The place feels fresh and tidy. Owner and staff very attentive.

(Translated by Google) The location is ambiguous. The bus and the walking street are also ambiguous. First of all the transportation was expensive and we walked far. The streets on foot are sullen in the evening. The single bed has curtains, but the double bed has no curtains. Staff were friendly and facilities were clean (Original) 위치가 애매하다 버스를 타기도 걷기도 애매한 거리에 있다. 우선 교통비가 비싸 우리는 걸어다녔다 멀다. 걸어서 오가는 길거리가 저녁에는 음침하다. 1인침대에는 커튼이 있지만 더블침대에는 커튼이 없어 지나가는 사람들에게 잠자는 모습이 노출된다 더블 침대는 비추한다. 직원들은 친절했고 시설은 깔끔했다

Friendly environment and great host. He was helpful and very heart warming person.

Lovely place ! Best value for money in the center, comfortables beds, cleaned and enlighted bathrooms and rooms, thanks to Kustas who is really welcoming and helpful despite his approximate English.

DO NOT STAY HERE. My visit was about a year ago, and to this day, I regret spending my money here. **I emphasize this for young women travelling. My friend and I (both women) were planning on staying here for five days, and only made it through two. The two 'main' employees who were on site 24/7 were terrible to deal with. The harassment we experienced was so out of pocket. No locks on our doors or bathrooms to keep us safe from creepy men coming in the middle of the night attempting to touch us. Never again is all I can say. When we were packing our things after such incident, the 'manager?' came into our room and tried to convince us to stay! He told us the man that harassed us, was fired immediately. While convincing us to stay, he BEGAN TO CRY. Both of us were super uncomfortable at this point and left as soon as we could. No refund, no compensation. This place is a joke.

I came for business to Athens. Excellent place! Very clean, comfortable beds and good breakfast. Ali and the rest of the stuff are very polite and helpful. I'll visit it again.

(Translated by Google) Nice owner, a little tight spaces but enough space to sleep. The cupboards are not always lockable, the bathroom is very small for many guests. The cleanliness is actually always given. There is a towel on site that is small and resembles a doormat. There is a communal kitchen. Each room has air conditioning (Original) Netter Besitzer, etwas enge Räume, aber ausreichend Platz zum Schlafen. Die Schränke sind nicht immer abschließbar, das Bad ist sehr klein für viele Gäste. Die Sauberkeit ist eigentlich immer gegeben. Es gibt ein Handtuch vor Ort, das klein ist und an einen Fußabtreter erinnert. Es gibt eine Gemeinschaftsküche. Jeder Raum hat eine Klimaanlage

Good place to stay for a short time and if you don't mind the smell of smoke. The hostel is non-smoker, but people smoke on the balcony and at the balcony door with open doors, so the smell enters the rooms. Cleanliness is not first priority, quite a lot of dust where the eye doesn't reach, but where you want to hang things (towel, clothes, etc.). Conclusion: good place for a short time, but not too comfortable for longer.

Okay hostel , correct in general , to be improved the showers for the guys .

(Translated by Google) It is a very nice place as a hostel, it has a family atmosphere. Tea coffee free cooking facilities are nice. The only problem is the bathroom WC facilities. Other than that, it is beautiful. This service is nice at this price. (Original) Hostel olarak çok güzel bir yer aile ortamı var. Çay kahve bedava yemek yapma olanakları güzel. Tek sorunu banyo WC olanakları. Onun dışında güzel. Bu fiyata bu hizmet güzel.

Don't come here. The host is verry unrespectfull and comes in your private room all the time to disturb and check. I wasn't alowed to open the windows and doors of the balcony, even tho I was in the room. Checkout was at 11 but he came in to ask to leave at 10. The shared rooms stink. The private place was not really clean. Sorry but hospitalaty is far away from here.

It was a nice experience to stay there. Staff was also very helpful and friendly but I just have one complaint that the 6 bed dorm is very conjested and its difficult to sleep at night in such conjested environment and just because of it I am giving 3 stars. I suggest that if you want to spend night then its better to book their 4 beds dormitory.I spent next night in the 4 bed dormitory and I slept very well.Except this everything is good.

(Translated by Google) Very clean (Original) Très propre

a very clean hostel. spectacular service. very organized. well located. with driving on the door. tourist information. No problem of theft.

This place is a real gem in the center of Athens. I couldn’t ask for a more comfortable stay. The stuff is kind, hospitable and always keeps everything tidy. The room for 6 is made in such a way that everyone can have their own space, of course with the company of others. In general, makes you feel at home. I’d definitely suggest to go there!!

Amazing place..nice atmosphere..most friendly team..interesting guests with culture..good price..nice balcony and huge roof yerasse with a breathtaking view..dont miss it..marco stuttgart germany

I highly recommend this hostel :) Great environment, they always take care of you to make sure you are feeling great! Amazing location (city center, you don’t need to walk a lot) and for a very good price. Everything is well cleaned, and the room was very refreshed at the end of summer when I went there! Will definitely repeat if I go back to Athens!

The best hostel your euro can buy, and it's probably one of the cheaper ones around too. Everything is new and clean and it's in a pretty convenient area. This isn't really a party hostel but the vibes are good and the owner is a wicked nice guy. Staying here a week and it's been only a day and so far very happy. Give them a shot

Reasonably priced but far from the city.

Very nice staying, rooms clean, nice staff and all was perfect. I recommend

Lovely staf good place to stay

The hostel is actually an old apartment turned to be a hostel. It's at the second floor of the building, there are a few dormitory rooms and a small kitchen with common area. The balcony is much smaller than the picture they show on booking.com and also the railing of the balcony has spikes and it's annoying. If you want beer or drink you have to call the manager in order to open the fridge because there is no space for reception in the apartment. The rooms are ok with air conditioning and electricity port and a little lamp near every bed. There is only one shower for men and it's tiny. There is Sklavinitis supermarket less than five minutes walk from the hostel and also restaurants and cafeterias. I stayed one night to try and it was my last.
