    One of the cheapest if not the cheapest hostel in Athens. What can you expect for that money? When you arrive to the place there is no sign of this is a hostel. A little View Dream paper on the door gives a trace you are in the right place. + On the positive side. Good beds, huge lockers in the room, toilets, showers, hot water, excellent view from the top. The staffs are generally helpful. - On the dark side. The kitchen is small, not enough seating and often smells from the smoke as people smoking there. The facilities of the kitchen low quality, old and dirty, they are do not empty the rubbish bins for days. On the rooftop the mattresses are in unacceptable condition I would never sit on them. The three star is good rate for them, if they want more need improve the place and the service.

    It’s one of the cheapest Hostels in Athens . Unfortunately that’s also the only thing it has going for itself. I booked for a group of 6 people in a 6 persons dorm and they put us in separate random rooms like the 12 people dorm. The guys at the reception where lovely but couldn’t sort out the problem. There were some permanent alcoholic guest there who harassed us - and apparently everyone is aware of them but doesn’t do anything about it. My friends got bullied out of the room by homophobic remarks. The cherry on top is the location - not safe once it gets dark, in the heart of the crack dens of Athens and no good food places nearby.

    Det finns email to the hostel on hostelworld, but I didn't get any answer, when I sent one. Though I canceled and booked by booking com instead, but I didn't get an answer on my questions either. I only got a standard email to respect the check-in time of 10pm, even it is possible to make a deal with them about midnight. I was coming by ferry from Cyprus and was afraid, that I couldn't make it before 10pm and I was right. Luckily, the receptionist was still there, when I arrived 20 min to 12am. The hostel is in the entire building of seven floors. The dorms are on floor 1 to 6. There are two elevators, but only one is working. Unfortunately, there are only two kitchens in the entire building. One on the second floor and one on the sixt floor. The one on the sixt floor is better, but in none of them the free coffee and tea exist, which is stated in the description. There are no kitchen towels either. No stickers and no pen for marking the food. The kitchen is worn and has a very old stove. On the first floor, were I have got a bed, the receptionist tells the women, what is "their" bathroom, but it isn't signed as such. One can choose to look the door for the entire area (two showers and a toilet) or risks, that men are coming to use it as well. Even the "mens" bathroom department - with 5 toilets and 5 or 6 showers, isn't signed as such one. There is a roof terrace, which only can be accessed by stairs and I didn't see any chairs and/or tables on the terrace. The cleaning seems to be OK, but in the kitchen. I didn't get a pillow case, but two sheets and had to put the pillow under the sheet, which is for the mattress. For me that is really not comfortable. Even the pillow wasn't comfortable as well. I think, it lost the shape by machine washing. The area is quite close to the city center, but also very worn. The building on the site of the hostel as well a part of the ground flour in the same building as the hostel are demolition objects as they look like. Further up the street it looks worse. Luckily, there is a polis station in the same street. There is a supermarket only around 100m away in the next street and you can also find cafés and restaurant not more than 500m away. Even a metro station is close to it. You can walk to the Akropolis, which is around 2.5 km away. Anyway, I heard, that other hostels for the same price/night are worse.

    Just dont go there. Very sketchy street, lots of dr*g activity around. Building looks like abandoned and burned. Very dirty street smells like human waste. Called them a few times and nobody picked the phone. Lost my money on making reservations. This is not a place where you want to be even during sunlight.

    Bad experience. Very obvious lack of upkeep. Visible mold in entrances and bathroom, entire place smelled of mold/sewer. No warm water even in the middle of the day. No staff at reception, only way to contact staff was to call them using your own cell phone. Dirty kitchen and the reported balcony consisted of untreated pallets and soggy mattresses. The fine for smoking was only 10 euros, and based on smells in common areas, that stopped very few people

    Not recommendable. It is in a very dark area and far from the center of the city. The staff is really unfriendly they are not ready to help you. It looks like a shared flat. They don't change the bed sheets and the room is dirty. You don't know who is the responsible for the hostel because there isn't anybody at the entrance.

    oidaaaa! the guy at the reception did not open, i ring like 20mins punch at the door and called the number many times, he saw me but went away, i was happy some other guests let me in! i waited 20 mins next to the reception! I asked whats the point that hes there but cannot check me in and he said he cannot do it because he doesnt have the laptop, only from this experience its already worse than all hostels inmiddle america! another guy checked me in to interrupt me in my review which he saw and asked me even, that was the only reason he did it, i asked him 5mins before it was not possible, what else to say, if u are lazy dont make/ work in a hostel 😅🙌🤘

    It's a very decent hostel type accommodation. Very affordable and close to Metro station. Also walkable to the Acropolis area. Many museum also near by. Clean rooms and common area.

    Place is filthy! Everytime I needed the bathroom I felt so disgusting and uncomfortable. The showers are divided by a window screen and you can basically see the person showering next to you. The window in the room seemed so fragile and thin I thought it was going to fall out. I would not recommend staying here.

    I have stayed at 3 different hostels in Athens and Acropolis View Dream Hostel was by far the best. The staff are wonderful and very helpful, they make you feel very welcome. Great showers! Everything is cleaned every day, the view from the top of the hostel is spectacular, the bed was very comfortable, my dorm room was really nice and they provide lockers for holding your stuff. There is a kitchen for cooking and a desk in the room for using a laptop. The highlight for me was the staff that made my experience in Athens top class. I will definitely be returning. Highly recommended.

    A lovely hostel at a great location! The bedroom is full of light and warm in the winter time. You have a quite big personal locker in the bedroom which can be locked with your own key. The bathroom in each floor is shared but always clean. The kitchen is my favorite place where you can cook your meal and meet a lot of friends. Of course the rooftop with the view to Mount Lycabettus and Acropolis is the best thing in this hostel!!

    My stuff got stolen there and there is only one person who could have done it. The manager told me that he has a picture of the thief but did not do anything. Now I was told by friends that he is back again in the hostel. So keep an eye on your stuff.

    Very kind staff. I arrived late because I didn't realize how expensive a taxi was and took public transport. I missed check in but staff did everything possible to assist me. I was unable to check in but staff helped me find another hotel! :)

    This was an ideal location to stay for such a low cost. If you are arriving through the airport, I recommend taking the train. It's the cheapest, least difficult way to arrive. Once you get off the train, it is only a 8 minute walk. The rooftop view was the best part of this hostel for me. I enjoyed watching sunrise and sunset, meditating and doing yoga on the rooftop. The hostel is clean, everyone sharing the room I was in was respectful and kind. Plenty of great vegan food and coffee shops within walking distance. I'll stay here again anytime I am I'm Athens. Thank you!

    This is an amazing place to stay! What is best? The hospitality of the owners, their amazing tips for the city and how clean both the rooms and the common areas are! Moreover, there is a wonderful terrace with view of the whole city and Acropolis, where we hanged out with rest travelers, playing guitar and having fun all together. The location is very convenient as it's walking distance from two lines of metro and the bus that goes directly to the airport! Thank you very much for the pleasant accommodation! I will definitely be back :)

    One of the best hostel available in Athens and it’s super afforable. Great location, the nearest metro is about 6 minute of walking away, grocery shops are just around the corner. Beds are comfy, and lockers are available. The shared bathroom is very clean and quite spacious. The staffs and manager are extremely friendly and helpful. Also the rooftop is pretty nice.
