“Good place for one night”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed there with friends ( 12 persons, between age 19 - 30 ) for a one night after coming from Santorini to see Athens and then to fly back home. To arrive around 10 in the morning, we could leave our luggage's there, they were able to make check in for a one room. All others rooms we got by 12 o'clock. Staff was friendly. Main door is locked all the time, so every time we arrive, we had to ring to bell. It felt safety. Also this hotel has closed garden with free wifi. All rooms were good, there was even bathroom in one of the rooms :) Other ones used bathrooms in corridor. There is also air conditioner in the rooms, so you can close windows and sleep just well ( because hotel in located next to the road and Acropolis, so you can't think that you will be in quiet place). Next morning the breakfast could have been better (we had bread, jam (orange and cherry), butter, eggs, milk and coffee). Because our plane was at 15 o'clock, we could keep the rooms longer then 10 o'clock ( when was the check out time). For longer staying is some other place better, but for one day to meet with Athens it was good, because it was close :)

Room Tip: Double rooms and better then quads ( in quads are bunk beds..)

“Not the best hotel.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011

I stayed here for one night in June 2011, and found the hotel quite poor. It is located down a side street and quite hard to find if you dont know where it is, even several locals were unable to give me directions. The rooms were very basic, and untidy. I tried paying with a credit card which they were unwilling to accept. I was due to stay here on my return from visiting the islands for 1 night prior to my flight home, and I cancelled the room and stayed somewhere better.

“Great location and the hostel was okey”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2011

We stayed here for three nights, first one when we arrived in athen on our way out to the island, and then two on our way back.

The rooms were allright, quite clean except for the wool blanket, it was a bit scetchy. Slept allright, bring earplugs cause it is quite loud, either from the street or if it's people in the yard. Bathroom in the corridor.

Breakfast was included, on our first stay we left very early in the morning but the sleepy guy at the desk gave us some halv fresh bread and jam, not the best breakfast I've had but still nice since we left so early. The second morning we got more stuff, cherries and there was milk and cereal and stuff. Unfortunately the last morning there was only bread, jam and cucomber. That said, you can eat, but don't expect much, you get what you pay for.

The staff is generally kind, but when we asked for advice on places to eat and walk they had nothing to say at all, neither could they help with information about strikes (we were there just for the time of all the riots in June) or stuff like that.

Would stay here again if it was just for transfer, but not if I was staying in Athens for a couple of days.

“Nice friendly at home atmosphere!”

The hotel is small but very intimate, clean and well located in Plaka. Though the hotel is on a narrow but peaceful lane, it is not a problem to locate it from Syntagma Square. Staff are really good and friendly. Pakistani night staff is really helpful and guided us at his best. Breakfast was enough and good.

“Bad hostel.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2011 via mobile
1
person found this review helpful

Everything is terrible about this place. I stayed in a room that probably was a storage room originally. There are only two windows and they open up into the cafeteria. There were no other people in my room and there are no lockers. I felt very unsecured. Furthermore, it's actually quite a walk to the acropolis. It's not as close as they make it out to be. It's on the border of the Plaka neighborhood which is nice but otherwise, that's the only thing that was positive.

The bathrooms were gross and rarely cleaned. They also don't lock so you have to sit there holding the door. Showers are cramped and have no space for hanging your clothing so you must bring in a plastic bag to place on the ground.

The doorbell rang throughout the night and that was super annoying. The breakfast is poor and if you go late, there will be none left as they do not refill.

Overall a bad stay.
