Customer Reviews Athens - Student & Travellers Inn
| 15 Jan 2012 Kristen, USA | 93% | |
| This hostel was in a terrific location! It was fairly easy to find, not far from the metro station, and right in the middle of the Plaka area of Athens. We were there in January when it was cold and very quite, to the point where there was only a few other guests the nights we were there. Breakfast is usually offered at the hostel but not when we were there, which was difficult for us because most of the street venders were closed then too (no tourists to be seen!). Our room was also a little cold, but they gave us extra blankets. Otherwise a good experience. | ||

| The night duty guy (apparently the owner's son) lives up to his unfriendly reputation. | ||

| Great location as it's in plaka. But the breakfast staff was rude and snobby and gave very curt replies. | ||

| The bathrooms were a nightmare. They are mixed, and at least in the one at my floor, we only had curtains separating showers and toillet. That means, unless you don't mind using the toillet with everyone looking at you, you'd have to wait in line and close the door of the bathroom and use it exclusively. So it doesn't really make a difference having more than one shower since everybody gotta wait on line.
The rooms weren't the better I've seen, but they were ok. However, they don't have lockers and our air-con would make A LOT of noise during the night.
The location is perfect and the staff friendly and helpful. | ||

| You'll need to pay the hotel charges in cash. And that was not too good for me because I was running out of cash! | ||
