Everything was great, location, breakfast, friendly staff. Only two things to mind are if you are too close to the rooftop you'll hear all the chatter and the AC is very strong, had to sleep with a sweater .

Decent

It was an ok stay the location is good plenty of restaurants & fast food spots nearby there’s a bar on the rooftop with a nice view of the Acropolis & the bathrooms are well kept if you’re 6’2 or taller these beds won’t be good for you due to the short length and the A/C and was kind of weak other than that it was worth it for the money + free breakfast

Good and central hostel but...

In general the hostel is good, it's very near of Acropoli, and the beds are very comfortable. The only bad things are: towels not included, you need to pay 2€ for rent and you also need to buy your locker.
