Customer Reviews Athens - International
| 11 May 2013 Marie - Christine, Germany | 77% | |
| I was dissapointed that I didn't get the benefit for HI-Members. They told me that they're not giving it since five years..
For "athens-styles" is the hostel in a pretty good trim. We stayed at worse places! We booked a private room von 20 Euro per night. (good price also and we felt save) the neighbourhood is a bit strange.
for 3,50 Euro you can get a good breakfast with juice and coffe. | ||

| Absolute worst location!!! Wanted not to go out at night. Drug dealers right up the street. Not safe at all. The wifi seldom worked, you DO NOT get your own key to the room. Hot water was rare in the shower. You absolutely get what you pay for at this hostel | ||

| The man at the front desk was very friendly and helpful! Had a great time at the hostel, it's very close to the metro or you can walk around just from there if you'd like. | ||
