The area has become very unpleasant over the past few years. It used to be good. I felt quite intimidated, for the first time ever, and I have been staying in Athens for many years, and stayed in the old hostel near Kypselis many years ago which was great fun. The worst thing inside was the dirty blankets and not oversheets. I had to go and buy a cover, although generally I can put up with thngs. However, it was secure and there were no prostitutes in or around the building, unlike the Lozanni last February, when the activity all through the night had to be seen and heard to be believed!

i think that when advertising this hostel it is important to note that it is located in the red light district and is known as the worst neighborhood in athens with plenty of drug addicts, drug dealers and prostitutes hanging out on the streets, at night there is constant screaming, police sirens, glass breaking, trash all over the streets and as for going out at night, impossible if you are like me and a lone female traveler. i stayed in this hostel for a week because i had booked ahead and couldnt get out of my reservation. as for staff, they overbooked my room and tried to throw me out until i produced my receipt, they werent really up to date with a lot of local information but then i hear things change in greece rapidly. i think your advertisement for this hostel saying it is located in a 'quiet' neighborhood is a complete deplorable lie.

not a bad place to crash. nice meals but you have to pay. free internet is good but is a little sketchy (goes in and out of connection) but is nice for a hostel and though is not near anything to see, is very near a subway station where its easy to get around.

The hostel is a nice place, although the lift is a little dodgy. Free internet is a definite bonus. The place around the hostel is a bit dangerous though, so it is not a good place to stay if you plan to go out at night.

With a common room it would have been a whole lot better! It was hard meeting people.

very close to metro stations which is a plus. however, it was situated in a relatively quite street, in my opinion, a sketchy part of town (compared to visiting the hostel in the plaka neighbourhood). as a female of colour, i did not feel entirely comfortable coming and going in this hostel. also, we had trouble finding a restaurant nearby the hostel.. we ended up eating at a hotel restaurant.

Easy walking distance to many of Athen's major sites. The reception staff were very helpful and friendly and the rooms, though basic, were clean and had woking A/C. It was definitely one the better hostel experiences I had during my stay in Greece.
