"The location is impossible to beat; it’s a minute walk from the Akropoli metro station and a short walk to the Acropolis and national gardens. Excellent value considering a good breakfast is included..."

I loved the location- as well as the price! For what you pay it is very great. Came from the United States (female) solo traveling and felt safe! It is a hostel, so not super clean like a normal hotel room, but clean for a hostel!
No towels provided. Breakfast subpar, didn’t even eat there.

Good location in Koukaki - not too touristy, but with convenience stores nearby and lots of bars and restuarenats to choose from. Only a short walk to the Acropolis. 6 beds to a dorm with shared bathroom was good and with a balcony too. Breakfast was much better and bigger than I was expecting. I had a beer at the downstairs bar which was good chance to read some left books/guides.
Not very social at all. Door codes didnt work for many guests on arrival which is a pain after walking up several floors.

Excellent location walking distance to the Plaka & Acropolis, comfortable AC for the summer. We stayed in a 4 person room which included an ensuite bathroom and balcony.
We were hoping for a more social atmosphere. The downstairs lobby is small, and not that many people spend time there. We skipped the complimentary breakfast after the first day. The view from the rooftop balcony is spectacular, but requires traversing an exposed flight of stairs on the 6th floor. The hostel was not as nice as the online photos.
