Had to put our card in the light box to turn on electric, makes it hard to charge devices unless you are in the room. No USB outlets, but the desk clerk loaned me one.

Cute place on cute street close to sites/ metro.
Thankful they do luggage storage for early arrivals. Staff is very helpful and caring. Nice ladders for top bunks and large lockers in the room. They provide usb for each bed, however mine did not work.

Great hostel with rooftop view of acropolis!
We had a great stay! The rooms were large, clean, and the AC worked well. We were in an area where multiple people warned us to not walk alone at night (we are two women). The staff didn’t let us check in until 3pm, but the initial email had said check in was 2pm. I wished they would’ve offered to let us shower in a public washroom since the check in time we were told wasn’t accurate. Otherwise, everything was great. There’s an incredible view on the top deck too of the acropolis.

Staff was SO FRIENDLY. Spaces were very clean and full of information about local areas. I loved the daily themed events they had to bring the residents together and the location is perfect for an Athens adventure
