This is a great place for people traveling on a budget who want to make friends with fellow travelers. There’s a rudimentary kitchen, laundry services (5 euros), a common area where everybody hangs out, and the dorms with shared bathrooms.
Highlights are the other guests: you will make friends here if you stay long enough. A wonderful culture has been cultivated that everyone here is a part of when you stay. The dorms are standard, you will get a bunk with a small shelf inside, a privacy curtain, and a small storage space beneath your bed (lock provided for a small fee).
The general setup here is good and there’s some people that stay for a month+.
The location is great because it’s about 2 min walk from the metro, which connects you with all of Athens. There’s also some decent restaurants around and a lotttt of bars if that’s your thing. Also the staff is extremely helpful and friendly, and the price per night is as cheap as you will find.
Negatives after living here for about a week is cleanliness. It seems like they clean everyday but due to the communal nature of all the facilities, the bathrooms are usually gnarly (reeking) and the kitchen dishes haven’t been run through a dishwasher for a while. Also the hot water in the shower lasts about 5 minutes so quick showers are a must, and you have to time it so you don’t shower right after someone else or you will be having a cold shower. It’s not living in luxury, but it’s living and I have enjoyed my stay quite a bit. It’s all up to what kind of accommodations you need. Overall, I’d say its close to the quintessential hostel experience.
