Location and garden with sitting Room 28! its just next to shared bathroom, crazy noisy, and staff decided to clean before midnight!!!even owner appologized next day, but honestly we did not sleep at all, this room is really just for very good sleepers
-
Perfect location to do sightseeing, close to many attractions, especially Acropolis (less than 10 minutes on foot). Direct connection from the airport (X95 or M3) makes it also very convenient to reach the place. Simple breakfast, but tasty and nice for a beginning of a day. Breakfast from 8am, but it was possible to have it earlier (I had at 7:30am). Friendly staff, beds ok, sink in the room, big lockers for 2 euro in the building. Surprisingly good for this price. It was slightly challenging to get to the top bed with a small ladder, but still ok.

Not enough shared bathroom/shower (especially when it gets busy).

The host was incredibly friendly. We had an early flight the next day and she even had breakfast packed for us at 5:30am. So kind of her! We booked the large room which was very spacious and everything was to our liking. There was a small stain on one of the top blankets but we just avoided it, that would be the only flaw.

great location & great information from Alex and all the helpful staff.

The only advantage of staying there is the location if you like highly crowded and touristic places The room was at its most basic: one light, one bedcover and that's it. The hotel was super noisy both from the inside and outside: we could hear literally everything that was happening in the building and outside. One person entered our room during the night, I didn't feel safe and could not sleep properly afterwards. The vibe, the level of comfort and the quality of the facilities are that of a hostel and not a hotel. Very disappointed.

Alex was exceptional. He answered all of my questions, showed me the shower room when I asked, and when I came back to ask for shampoo, he let me wait in my room and came upstairs with a bottle of shower gel. He also told me that the breakfast room was free to use whenever, which I wouldn't have known if he hadn't told me. I really appreciated the fact the beds came with a certification that guarantees thorough cleaning and no bed bugs. The room setting was nice because there were only four guests in the female dorm, and I was even able to get a real bed instead of a bunk bed. My roommates and I chatted a bit and it was a friendly environment. The shower was nice and hot and hot water did not run out, which was great! Breakfast, the breakfast room, and the terrace were amazing to have with this price. The breakfast itself was also of a higher quality than some cheap "hotels". It was nice that a staff member was in the kitchen so we could ask for help if needed. I was a bit surprised that the bathrooms were gender mixed and up to two people could take a shower in the same bathroom. I was lucky because only my roommates needed to take a shower when I wanted to, but otherwise I can imagine some people feeling uncomfortable, especially after making sure to stay in a female-only room.

I wish there's a toilet and shower inside the family room.

All the staff are great! Front desk manager Alex is always helpful and patient in assisting you to sort out all excursion and transportation details. The prime location very near the Parthenon / Acropolis and Metrro stations makes getting around much easier. The rooms are great, the nice courtyard is quiet and enjoyable, and the breakfast is excellent!

2 Euro lockers. Lockers should be made available in every room
-
Excellent, safe, easy location. Staff were genuine and helpful Shared bathroom was often wet
-
This is a great location! The staff was really friendly. The rooms are comfortable. The breakfast was really convenient as well. I loved sitting in the garden in the morning to have my coffee and yogurt! I wish there were shower curtains in the showers. It's hard to keep the floor dry. The lockers are 2 euro per use and exact change is needed. I had no issues with just keeping my stuff under my bed, but it being unsecured as I slept made me feel a bit anxious.
-
The location was very good and close to the main attractions, so no ride is needed if you can walk. The breakfast was good. If you are traveling alone and looking for a centrally located stay on a limited budget, this can be a suitable option. The room and bed were very basic, resembling a simple hostel with old windows and cupboards. Cleanliness could be improved, but it works if you are on a tight budget.
-
The room I chose was slightly misleading, so it was weird. It was also quite smaller than we expected.
-
Everything was good especially the front desk lady she was very kind and good service
