ICONIC ATHENS HOSTEL — Hotel in Athens

This place is great because if one guy and his name is Theo. ^_^ His smile is just infectious and makes you feel welcomed. Thank you so much for all the help during my stay.

Most of the guest staying here are hostile. I attempted to talk and make friends but this place isn’t like other hostels I’ve stayed at. I felt lonely here, the reason why I come to hostels when travelling alone is to make friends. Someone to talk to whilst travelling solo.

I also booked a all male dormitory, but I found out there was a woman in the room with us. Which is not good practice.

There is a rooftop area which is lovely especially during sunset. I would go there daily to sit and have a drink. Great in the morning too to stretch and exercise.

The dorm itself was okay, the mattress sheet was torn and the blanket too thin, it gets so cold at night. The pods are nice but some shelves would be good addition. Hooks in the room will be a good addition. You get a towel too which is great.

Bathroom is inside the dorm improvements to make, the shower head could be on the wall as it would make showering easier. It was cleaned and dressed daily. There was a few days there was no hot water so I had to shower with cold. This didn’t bother me as was in the morning.

The kitchen, it’s a really good space well equipped but a microwave would be nice addition. The fridge is disgusting it needs a good clean. I didn’t have breakfast (it’s 4€) it’s very basic coffee and pastries. There’s better places in gazi.

There is a laundry service for 5€, you can dry clothes on balcony or the sun roof. If you need any help there’s lots of information at this place for sightseeing and tour. A lot of nightlife, restaurants and bars in...

Staff was super friendly!! Every staff at the hostel is super friendly. Communications right after the booking were very efficient. Received the booking confirmation and an email from one of the staff. It makes you feel that you are very important because you chose to stay with them. That's basically good customer relations and it begins from the beginning right after the booking. What I like about this hostel, it's brand NEW, super duper close to the Metro Station! Everything looks perfect! Design of the hostel is TRENDY and CHIC! Reception is there for you if you need any help. They will be glad to advise. Wifi - Very Good! Kitchen - you can cook your own meal, fridge provided, kettle. Toilet - Clean, hair dryer can be asked from reception! Rooftop - Good place to chill out with fellow hostelers/travellers, making new friends Locker - Below the bed, you can lock your stuff inside. Bed - comfortable! You have a privacy curtain/blind. Individual power socket, own small light. Luggage storage - you can leave your luggage after you check out. They have a room. Very safe! Common area - spacious, tables and plugs for you to use your laptop or just chill ! OVERALL BEST HOSTEL I HAVE EVER STAYED BEFORE! PERFECTO! 10/10!! DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK!! YOU WILL NOT REGRET!!! To the team of BED STATION - thumbs up, great job! Nondas, Roxanne, you both and the rest of the staffs are AWESOME!!!! I will come back for sure to stay at this...

Great location in Gazi. Very close to a lot of bars/clubs and the metro is quote literally 2 minutes away, and 1 stop away from Monastiraki, 3 stops from the Acropolis. The lobby is quaint, friendly people usually hanging out. The rooftop is very nice, you get a decent view of the neighborhood and it is nice to hang out on. There is a good sized kitchen available as well. The rooms were spacious, and the beds were private with a curtain, light, and electrical outlet for each bed. The bad part - the bedroom and bathroom were pretty dirty, even after being "cleaned". Nothing crazy, but enough to make me a bit uncomfortable, even as someone who has stayed in plenty of hostels of a lower caliber. There was no AC in the rooms, which was advertised. Very disappointing and frustrating when it was warm and humid outside, so sleeping was difficult. They also advertised washer and dryer, and there were...
