Customer Comments:- ** “The location was just a 10 minute walk from the train station which takes you right to the main sites. And it was walking distance to the Archaeological Museum as well as restaurants, grocery stores and good bakeries! The free internet was a definite plus as was the lift.

Customer Reviews Athens - Aphrodite
| 02 Sep 2011 Siying, Netherlands | 87% | |
| the staff are very nice, and although we need a bit time to walk to the nearest metro station, it is still in the city center and not expensive if taking taxi from the center nightclubs at night. The area is quite local so you can find some local cheap restaurants nearby. | ||

| good place | ||
| 09 Aug 2011 Lu, China | 67% | |
| When we were arranged into a room where there was no sheet and towel, we had to rent a towel or sheet for 1 Euro each. Some of the showers are a bit small to turn around in it. Additionally, there is no holder for the shower head and hanger in the shower. | ||

| They said they've got free internet, but then only one computer is available. | ||
| 18 Jul 2011 Rebecca, USA | 70% | |
| Wifi was broken, but a cheap internet cafe is located half a block south. One key per room. Cheap breakfast (free breakfast is bread and coffee). Only real complaint is the lack of a common room - no place to hang out! | ||
| 08 Jul 2011 Hung-Chun, Taiwan | 63% | |
| There's no Internet while we stay.and the shower room has no shelves or hooks,which is a bit inconvenient..Yet,the bed is clean and it's secure to stay there. | ||
| 30 Jun 2011 Kayla, Canada | ||
| Didn't make it to the accomodation.. I booked it only as a night stay but it is 40 minutes from the air port which is very inconvient and when I showed the name and Address of the hostel to numerous taxi drivers no one knew where it was. The location would have been better if we would have come in by ferry which was my origional plan but there was a strike during my stay. So most likely just unfortunate events.. | ||

| For the price a good hostel. Care should be taken in the area at night, no real problems but just like any other big city. A decent walk from the Acropolis, but close to Larissa Station for the metro and trains | ||
| 07 May 2011 Nathan, USA | 97% | |
| Fantastic price, so good in fact that I decided to stay a few extra nights. Close to the metro station so it doesn't really matter where in the city it is. | ||
| 13 Apr 2011 Farrah, Canada | 90% | |
| Nice place, easy to find, clean, very friendly and helpful staff. Downside was no lockers in dorms (but lots of space for bags), and breakfast was okay, but had to pay. | ||
