Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff was great. Place is OK for a hostal but the are is under construction and a bit dirty around the property. The roof top was great
Clean room, comfy beds and pillows, lots of outlets with USB, large bathroom with shampoo and body wash, fluffy towels. Balcony with deck chairs. Two elevators, large kitchen and fridges, great breakfast offerings and large dining area. Rooftop bar/restaurant with great view of Parthenon and Athens. Super friendly staff.
I stayed in a female only 4 bed dorm and found it very clean. I met lovely ladies. Comfy beds and a warm and powerful shower. The area is 1 or 2 blocks away from activity and can feel a bit sketchy if coming back alone at night. I didnt have breafast but instead purchased a tea only every day. Each time the water was not hot, so I had to ask for them to make hotter so that I could actually brew my teabag (so British! I have been told that this is common across Greece, so maybe it is not a hostel issue). Social activities are arranged most nights, but I didnt get involved so I cant comment. Lovely rooftop with beautiful views. Thin walls so you may need ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Hostel is very fresh and new. Its a comfortable stay for sure and a locked cupboard to leave luggage.
The building is great, walking around on your own is a bit unnerving at times especially late at night. Other than that, great people and great place to stay
The hostel is brand new, only about 2 months old. The facilities were new and clean, the staff friendly and it has one of the best hostel rooftop bars in Athens. Highly recommend!
Gut Unterkunft für einen entspannten Aufenthalt in Athen! Super sauber, tolles Personal, zentrale Lage und viele Möglichkeiten in der Umgebung. Besonders gefallen haben mir die ruhige und abendmusik Atmosphäre, die gute Anbindung an das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.
El hotel tiene un ambiente increíble, con una vibra muy padre que se disfruta mucho. Las instalaciones y el concepto en general me parecieron excelentes.
Lo único a mejorar sería la atención en recepción: noté cierta rigidez e inflexibilidad en algunos casos. Algunas chicas fueron muy amables, pero los chicos no tanto, e incluso llegaban a dejar una mala impresión en el trato al cliente. En especial uno de ellos, que también atendía la barra de la terraza, no fue nada afable.
Fuera de eso, todo estuvo muy bien y la experiencia en general fue positiva.
The hotel was really very clean. The staff were incredibly sweet, especially Ms. Meryem. I was very satisfied; they were very understanding and helped with everything. You can definitely choose this hotel and stay here with peace of mind when you come.
