The location is very convenient (15 mins walk from the Acropolis) and the people at reception are really friendly, polite and helpful.
But the major issue was the presence of bed bugs. We went to sleep around 11pm and 15 minutes later, saw came across many creepy bugs. I then read the google reviews and realised that this was a persistent problem faced by many guests historically. So I immediately flagged this at reception (who were not too surprised by this), checked out at midnight and moved into another hotel a couple of blocks away.

BED BUGS
We stayed two nights, we choose the hotel because was the cheapest option to stay for 5-8 hours before our flights.
The first room even if was not a big deal for the price we paid was ok.
But the second time we stayed ,guys I'm sorry but we got bedbugs, don't know from where but they were walking in my fathers jacket after staying in the second room
2.7
Do not stay here. The halls reek of cigarettes, the staff is passive aggressive, the walls are paper thin so you can hear the other guests loudly arguing and throwing furniture. The hotel is surrounded by homeless people setting off car alarms all through the night, and if you dare walk outside too late you will encounter a very shady night life in Athens. Extremely unimpressed with this hotel and with the staff. Avoid at all costs.

Terrible place we neither step in because the location is the worst
2.7
The staff were amazing. The property is not a safe place. Every taxi driver told us that we don't belong there. But it was our fault. The price was good to what we got. we stayed one night in the room and rushed to the airport the next day.

Great quiet stay
2.7
There were bed bugs EVERYWHERE!
2.7
We arrived late and they were friendly on doing the check in at that hour. But so many thing were wrong. The elevator didn't have door, so you go up and down without a door. The location of the hotel is really dangerous and unsafe. The cab that came to pick us told us to hurry up because it's an area where people is always stealed. I wont recommend to go here, pay more and go to a better location.
2.7
It was good for a 2 night stay, but don't really recommend if you're planning on staying longer. Very loud and not pretty.
2.7
It was a conveniently located hotel, parking as promised online, helpful staff.
2.7
Stayed for a week - had a bedbug issue and developed over 20 bites over the course that stay. Was told by someone who stays here once in a while that it is not an uncommon issue. After telling front desk, I was informed that the best they could do was to change my sheets, but it did not happen. The turnover rate is high and would not recommend the mixed dorm room for solo female travelers unless you are relatively comfortable with multiple male roommates. A lot of people stay for one or two nights then leave. Upon arrival, the air-conditioning was also not functioning, but they tried to fix it within a few days. Luckily it was not the peak of summer but was still quite warm and stuffy. Soundproofing is virtually non-existent: expect to be able to hear others taking calls from the next-door room. The showerhead is also a bit problematic but it's an easy fix. Bring a lock for the locker and your own towel. Overall, decent place for bare necessities of staying the night and showering. Staff did try their best to help me and were helpful and friendly. The place is quite old - operating since 1960s, so breakdowns are to be expected but I had a brief conversation with the owner who helped me resolve an issue at night, he was helpful and engaging.
Conclusion: Would not recommend except for extreme budgeting and bare necessities of a bed shower.
2.7
Read the reviews before you book. Even those giving it 2-3 stars mention the BED BUGS. Had to cancel my stay there due to their unchecked bed bug situation. It seems it's been going on forever and nothing it's done about it. They wont bother to answer if you try contact them
2.7
I was delighted with my room with a view with private balcony and bathroom and fridge for a excellent price. The staff were very nice and helpful at any hour. The location was incredibly convenient and central. I will definitely stay here again
2.7
Place should not be allowed to operate. Hotel is riddled in bed bugs. Staff are completely aware and don’t care. We asked to change rooms and the second room had more bed bugs. We arrived late so ended at walking around Athens at 4am to try find another hotel so that we didn’t spread the infestation. Complete health and safety risk. DO NOT BOOK. READ THE REVIEWS FIRST. Refused a refund.
2.7
It is a dirty, gross hostel. Many hostels are quite nice to stay at, but this one is really dirty, cramped. The staff are very unprofessional and not friendly. The pictures on their ad don't match what its really like. The neighbourhood (especially at night), is sketchy and unsafe. There are drugs, and garbage and graffiti everywhere. If you're looking to save some money on your trip, try elsewhere.
2.7
This "hotel" should be closed down immediately! AVOID! ⚠️⚠️ Bed bugs absolutely infested in our room, crawling everywhere! Disgusting hygiene, grotty shower and toilet.
We knew not to expect much for the price, but this was absolutely unhygienic and infested! Other group checking in at the same time as us saw their room, and immediately left. We decided to stay to try it, only to realise 2 hours later that our room was crawling with bed bugs.
Very very unsafe area, especially for women. We were warned by waiters to avoid this area.
On the only positive note, the receptionist was friendly.
SHOULD BE CLOSED DOWN !!! 🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫
2.7
Unfriendly staff, dirty and crowded dorms, doesn't look like the photos at all, bathrooms were all broken and dirty. If you want to save money on your trip, don't go here, not worth it. The neighbourhood is really dirty and covered in graffiti, smells like urine, and sketchy looking.
I made a 3 week reservation because it was inexpensive, but I showed up after midnight because my flight, and they cancelled my reservation and kept all my money. Front desk wanted me to pay them a second time to stay. I stayed the one night because I was too tired to be making reservations in the middle of the night. It was not worth the stay.
2.7
Got bitten by bed bugs badly. Had to leave early and find another place. The staff was nice and apologetic but I could not stay there after that.
2.7
First hostel we’ve ever stayed in. Got the private room and it was so worth it! Had AC, sink in the bedroom, 2 bed, even a balcony! Amazing room to arrive to after traveling all day. Staff were so friendly and I’d stay here again in a heartbeat. great price as well (:
2.7
Decent price, Artemis, the front desk lady is friendly and helpful. The location is a bit sketchy though.
2.7
Hostal was close to centre, about 10-15 walking. The reception area smelled horrible all the ten days we were there. We found about 3 roaches in our room, my daughter end up with bed bugs on her, we had to wait for 20 mins for hot water, and WiFi didn’t work, it work for 10 percent of the time we were there. We mostly relied on the hop on bus WiFi or the restaurant to communicate. Not worth it, there are others places around in a much better condition. Oh and the towels had stains on it “disgusting” we asked for new ones and they said we had to wait for 3 days to get towels changed
2.7
The staff were very friendly and helpful! The bathrooms were clean, and we had everything we needed. My friend and I (two young women) did not feel the safest walking to and from the center of Athens to the hotel, but that might be expected in any city. We would stay there again.
2.7
Good location for a budget accommodation.
2.7
I liked the balcony off the room. Plenty of storage. Staff was super nice but it's an old hotel. The surrounding areas could appear a little sketchy but never had or saw any incidents.
2.7
i paid for a shared bathroom situation which was ok.
I think a bit of cosmetic help in the rooms would nicen things up a bit
2.7
I didn't like bed bugs
2.7
如果你是單身,強烈建議不要住,便宜的房,櫃檯小姐和老闆親切,可是他的地理位子有問題,傍晚下午開始外面就一群男生要搭訕,非常可怕,強烈建議不要住,有天晚上還有幾個人和我走很近,當天晚上我都不敢睡覺,六點馬上離開,房門沒有內鎖,浴室是粉紅色牆磚照片那張實際照

There were bedbugs everywhere in our room!! Don’t go there!!!

This property was in a unsafe area that needed police around 24/7. As a young woman I felt unsafe staying in this hotel. The deadbolt in the room was broken. When we tried to talk to the manager about our concerns he laughed at us. We tried to check out early as we did not feel safe and the management was rude and they refused to refund or give us a cancellation fee. We had booked for 4 nights and felt so unsafe we didn’t stay for any. We ended up having to pay for the a hotel we didn’t stay in. Overall terrible experience.

Based on critis and stars i thought it will be a bad hostel but eventually it was better than many hostels in Athens... Also good price

First of all, they charged me an extra "tourist fee", which no one had informed me about. I assumed I had paid when transferring the money to you?
Secondly, the place had freaking bed bugs!!
When I informed them, the manager started speculating and said that it was probable that it was me who had brought them in. I had never seen one before and know of no one in Denmark that has had them. I came from Copenhagen via Athens airport and went directly to the hotel.
I got another room right above, where the bugs also were (they can live in walls and pass through small cracks). When I informed them again, the manager repeated: "Where ever you go, they go. So do you wanna leave?"
I said, "Yes, if I get my money back for the days ahead". He didn't bother reacting, but ignored what I said and gave me a new room, luckily without bed bugs. Instead, there was a 3.5 cm cockroach!!
The place is not clean. The toilets are filthy.
On the groundfloor, in this cramped, dark, closed off room, they served the breakfast that was not at all a buffet, which I had paid for???
Most of the food I couldn't eat, and they were not flexible when I asked for a few things.
The eating section was frequently visited by shady men who didn't seem to stay at the hotel.
The cleaning staff was kind and friendly, but most people in the reception were impolite.
Why did you call it breakfast buffet? And why didn't you tell me about the extra fee??

It's not bad for a short stay. Basic but functioning facilities and for the price you pay it is difficult to expect more. The surrounding few streets don't look great but you have only a few walking minutes to Monastiraki.
