Anonymous UserI arrived in the morning and couldn't check in yet, but I was able to leave my luggage in a locker and head out. The front desk staff was friendly and gave me great recommendations for nearby cafes, which I visited later. Even at the cafe, they were so kind and gave me a free cake! The surrounding area can feel a bit dark, so some might worry about safety. However, just a short walk away, there's an area with lots of restaurants where I enjoyed some delicious food!

A great new hotel, modern design, is 25 minutes away from the airport - suitable for night-time between the flights.
The room has everything you need, even dishes, you can roast sandwiches on the grill. Tea, coffee and hammer coffee for filtered coffee.
There is no glacial board and tug.
In general, the perfect hotel, if not one minus - no sound isolation is completely absent. Everything that happened in the corridor was very heard in the room.

Guest UserI had an excellent stay at this hotel — it truly impressed me! The management was very kind and welcoming, and the housekeeper was extremely professional. The location is great, just a short walk to the metro, and the services provided were excellent. My room was spacious and beautifully furnished. I had booked a room with a balcony, and it was absolutely wonderful. Highly recommended!

OK so this hostel is awesome but it's a short walk away from the tourist areas. Here you will experience 'true athens' the local bars and food is so much better than you will get at the tourist traps. The locals are friendly and very much welcome, however the area may not be everyone's cuppa, it depends what you want I guess.. The hostel it self has great communal areas and such great staff, a very vibrant and social experience. Look out for their events and try the pizza... 👍🏻

Great little hostel in a fantastic location. Close to everything you could want by foot. Clean, straightforward, towels provided, nice breakfast every morning with good variety and fresh stuff. Friendly staff. Rooms are barebones, of course, but it's a hostel. I'd stay there again!
