The stay at this hostel was great. Typical issues with hostels such as long wait times for shared bathrooms can be expected, no actual kitchen but convenient common area to store food in a fridge etc, but overall great value for the stay and location! The host came and introduced himself and made himself available for anything needed. Communication was top notch! He was very fast to reply, and answered all questions. Check in was a breeze!
The location is very close to the heart of Athens by Monastiraki Market, although if you are a single traveller, this can be a bit creepy at night as the street markets are closed and it’s very dark.
I would avoid using the stairs, and stick to the elevator as 2 of the floors are currently closed off and it is very dark and hard to see when passing through these 2 levels, not to mention super creepy.
Note: if you are a light sleeper, be wary as like any hostel that travellers come and go at all times and some travellers (especially groups) who are very loud can be heard through the doors, so it can be hard to rest IF you are a light sleeper. Though thankfully some travellers are more considerate of their (conversation) volumes.
