    The location was perfect - everything was close by and we could easily walk to the Acropolis in less than 5 minutes. There were plenty of affordable eateries nearby. the rooftop with its stunning views of the Acropolis was a highlight. It was easy to make friends while enjoying drinks up there. the sister restaurant offered cheap and delicious food. the free breakfast spread was amazing, with traditional Greek dishes like bread, salads, spreads, tea. the room was clean and comfortable, with amenities like air conditioning, a balcony, and lockers. the bathroom facilities were great.

    Felt like home, nothing to complain about.

    Really kind and helpful staff, good atmosphere, and it was really clean. The beds were comfortable. The location is perfect, right by the metro and famous landmarks. There is a small deli/supermarket just down the road. As a solo traveler, I felt safe in the hostel and the surrounding area. The hostel had a nice rooftop bar that brought everyone together.

    The only downside of the hostel was that the wifi could be more reliable.

    Great value for money. We were initially placed in a smaller room, but the staff quickly moved us to a more spacious room with air conditioning. The hostel had a fast wifi connection, a bonus. The location was superb, with easy access to popular tourist spots. The beds were comfortable and the hostel was clean.

    For the price we paid, the value was amazing! The room wasvery comfy and tidy, and the location was perfect, just a stone's throw away from the metro station. The staff at the hostel were friendly and accommodating.

    The only thing that could have made the morning meal better was if there were more options available.

    Amazing walking tour for only 7 euros, led by a funny and informative guide. Great way to see the key sites and get oriented in the city. The location of the hotel is unbeatable, right under the Acropolis. The rooftop bar provides a cool ambiance and offers a fantastic view of the Acropolis.

    The washrooms were not cleaned during my three-night stay and had dirty tiles and hair in the sink. The rooms also appeared old and sketchy.

    stayed at another property under renovation, but backpackers exceeded expectations. Comfortable rooms with a balcony and locker. Amazing breakfast and great location near metro and Acropolis.

    Receptionists were not helpful.

    The room and bathroom were spotless, and the cleaner even offered to clean it after the first night. The location was amazing, with the metro and major tourist sites just a short walk away. Additionally, the rooftop bar had a fantastic view of the city and served delicious cocktails.

    There were a few downfalls during our stay. the air conditioning was inadequate and not controllable.

    The location of this hostel was fantastic! It was so close to the main attractions and the metro station, making it super convenient to explore the city. I also loved the rooftop bar, it was a great place to relax and meet other travelers. The atmosphere was amazing, and I made some really cool friends from all over the world.

    The wifi was a bit unreliable, which was a bit frustrating. But honestly, that was the only downside to my stay.
