Emplacement excellent! Terrasse sur le toit avec vue sur l'acropole. Prenez note que le frigo n’est pas disponible avant 8hr même s’il y a quelqu’un à la réception. On a refusé que je récupère ou me remettre un sandwich acheté la veille en prévision d’un départ à 7hr. Je ne comprends toujours pas pourquoi à ce jour. L’employé en poste m’a dit qu’il s’agissait d’une règle de l’établissement.

I booked 2 nights. Nice part of city, walkable to everything. Some sexist situation or condition. I came early before check in, girl at the front looked annoyed, and told me to wait until check in time. Then 2 men walked in a few mins later and she immediately checked them in. After witnessing that, I went to her and checked in. I won’t speculate why she gave the men immediate attention. But as a female, I’m aware of authority gap between men and women. I also learned, I hastily booked a 6 bed mixed dorm. I was the only female. The men were nice but the bathroom situation was awkward. I requested a female dorm for next day’s booking. The girl at the front was more accommodating and the other receptionist (male), was nice. I had to check out from mixed dorm, then re-checked in w/o having to wait long for my next bed to be cleaned. Men and women’s lockers differed. Women had wider/bigger lockers with a shelf. 4 of the girls in my new dorm were friendly, 3 Americans, 1 German. A newly checked in girl who came after me had a haughty attitude. In my experience living in 3 continents before 23, I can spot nationality and character (stereotype) display irl. This girl was living up to her nationality’s reputation, arrogant. The other girls talked about her behind her back, and as soon as she came in, the room became quiet. My linens were musty. Apparently everyone’s linens did. The smell is from not being dried completely before storing. Towels are for rent and very thin.

Everything was great, location, breakfast, friendly staff. Only two things to mind are if you are too close to the rooftop you'll hear all the chatter and the AC is very strong, had to sleep with a sweater .

15/10 recommend this place! Renovated, close/walking distance to everything, very helpful staff, very nice that they have daily housekeeping (unusual for a hostel..). Easy check in/out. Only complaint is the rented towels: for god's sake, worst towel I ever encountered in my life so bring your own lol And it would be nice if the showers didn't make the whole bathroom floor wet.. Very cool crowd though, tips of activities to do etc. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!
