    The hostel is lovely, the staff is very helpful and polite, room is small but comfy. Kitchen has all the amenities you need.

    Location is awful. Full of junkies and homeless people, as a female solo traveler I didn’t feel safe in the area. Hairdryer is broken. The fact that they close the kitchen midnight and also turn off all the lights outside (bar area) is also something I personally didn’t enjoy.

    Property response:

    Hello, thank you for your comment. We have checked the hairdryer and it is working properly, but we will double-check it again in the coming days. As for the kitchen and bar closing at midnight, this is to minimize noise and ensure that everyone can sleep peacefully.

    Everything was great.

    Location was a bit dangerous at night, especially if you are alone and/or are a woman.

    This hostel has an artistic, vintage vibe and is perfect for socializing and meeting new people. The rooms are spotless and beautifully decorated with great attention to detail. The bed was super comfortable, and the atmosphere made the whole stay really special!

    Nothing really it was all perfect

    It's located near Omonoia square, very close to bus station and metro. Common areas are open for most of the day and spacious, there is bar where you can order drinks and meet up. Free fruit, coffee and tea in the kitchen, furthermore in the dormitory rooms each bed has a charging point, light and curtains that give privacy.

    The rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated, airconditioned and ours had an ensuite which was a real bonus. Also, the hostel has an easy-going vibe. The staff is very friendly, and the common space in the backyard is a nice place to hang out and meet other hostel guests. And the hostel provides tips for local dining and can help with the organization of some tours, which felt very traveller-friendly.

    The location of the hostel is not ideal. Though it is only a 7 minute walk to one of the metro stations and from there only 10 minutes into the fun neighborhood of Plaka, the area you have to walk through does not feel very friendly (and you are recommended to not walk there alone at night or go into a certain direction from the hostel). Additionally, the hostel is located next to an incredibly busy street which provided some noise during the night. Ear plugs are recommended. All in all, though, I still enjoyed my stay!
