Our family of 4 stayed in a family room for 3 nights before a cruise.  We planned to to be out touring all day and we just needed a clean, reasonably priced place to sleep in Athens.
Positives -
- The room was larger than expected  - one section had a queen or a king bed, while the other section of the room had 2 twin beds.  We had plenty of room.  The room was not fancy but it was clean and more than met our needs.  The cost of the room was very reasonable during the high summer season.  We struggled to find rooms that would accommodate 4 people, so we we were very happy to find this one.
- The bath was split - one room had the shower, while the other room had the toilet which was convenient with 4 people getting ready.
- the air conditioning was very good.  We visited during August and it was extremely hot outside.  We all slept great in the room.
- there was a filter water tap for refilling water bottles which was convenient.
- the location was excellent- we walked everywhere.  Metro station was close by. There were grocery stores within a 15 minute walk.  The area came alive at night and there were lots of restaurants within walking distance.
- there is a kitchen and a fridge to store food.  Food must be labelled.  We placed some leftovers in the fridge one night and the next day, the box remained but it was empty- someone had eaten the leftovers. I can’t blame the hostel for the action of their guests.
- reception was very nice and always willing to answer questions.
Overall, we were very happy with our stay here! The hostel was everything it advertised itself to be.

The best hostel I’ve stayed at so far! The location is excellent—right in the city center and in a pretty safe neighborhood, so you can enjoy a night out and return to the hostel without any stress (a big plus as a female solo traveler). The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with daily cleaning and very cozy beds. The common area was stylish and welcoming, and they offer plenty of activities, tours, and food options.
Would definitely recommend this hostel !

Ps : there is also a sweet little kitty living next door. He’s super friendly so if you could give him some pets that would be awesome ! He doesn’t have teeth so can’t eat solid food but he would  absolutely love soft cat wet food ❤️

Fantastic place to stay for a couple of nights. Your own room with a private bathroom and shower, fresh sheets everyday if you want them, the reception was very nice and helpful, you can even keep your bags there if you are checked out but exploring the city. Communal living area and kitchen were a great perk and more amenities than we expected. Location is fantastic.

Great stay here, one of the best hostels I've been to. Extremely friendly staff, good rooms, nice common room, free tap water, some craft beers in the fridge. Definitely recommend going here if you are in Athens. When I visited in March it was pretty quiet, so I didn't meet a lot of people, but it was still very enjoyable.
