Starting with Travelocity we didn't get any help, ended up losing our reservation money and when finely got to communicate with the hotel they in writing said that Travelocity never tried to contact them. For that reason and a lot others since we made considerable amount of bookings with you and Travelocity and through Travelocity, we will not buy anything from Travelocity. Thanks for asking. Virginia

Amazing Hostel with wonderful people
The staff were very nice and helpful! They were very accommodating and were able to give us ideas of what to do around town including a super fun pub crawl! We met lots of new friends and we all loved staying here. It was my first time at a hostel and if they are all this wonderful I hope I stay at many more! Thank you so much for the great times and memories ❤️

Pretty good stay
I had a mostly good stay here. Dimitri was a great receptionist/host. I arrived very late and he was able to check me into my room. I had a cleanliness issue with my walls and Dimitri actually came in to clean it and used sanitizing bleach. I even did my laundry for 5 euros and was very impressed by the cleanliness of my clothes. My bathroom was cleaned everyday. The workers work really hard here to make sure your stay is pretty good. The condition of the hostel was above average and better than most of the city center. The metro stop is in very close walking distance to get to the city center which is 1 stop away.

Best place to get a backache and covid-19
The towel they gave us were disgusting, the bathroom as well and was never cleaned during our stay. I could feel every spring in the matress as it gave me such a back pain. Nobody in the hostel was following covid 19 procedures we were the only one wearing a mask (yes not even the employees did)

Great place and good location
I liked this hostel but it was further away from the city center. Once I figured out how to use the metro it made things easier because the city center is one stop away, it takes less than 15 minutes to get there via the metro, also the metro is about two blocks away, right out the front doors go straight through the corridor across the street and it's there in the park. There are a lot of restaurants and bars in the area but didn't get a chance to explore them as much.

Hostel near a lot of nightlife.
Nice hostel with quality cleaners who keep the bathrooms clean . The staff are friendly and accommodating. Bed was comfortable and good AC. Short walk to the metro station line that goes right to airport. Because of a lot of nightlife can be a little noisey but light sleepers may not like. Would stay again.

good for the price
This is a nice, inexpensive, well-maintained hostel. It’s a bit shabby (older linens, uncomfortable bed) and the bathrooms, while clean, are hard to keep dry, badly ventilated, and lack a true shower head. Fine for the price, but I will pay more for a hotel when I am in the city next.

I took the metro from the airport and the hostel was just a minute away from the metro stop ‘keramikos’. Staff was really friendly and they provided me with information about the area and nice restaurants and cafes! The hostel is really nice decorated and you can enjoy your coffee and sun at the rooftop! I will definitely stay there again hopefully soon enough!
