Hostels in Attica, Greece

So, I am very thankful of Bedbox's existence because it really made my trip possible. Earning Southeast Asian's currency with a big ambition to travel on Euro, it wasn't exactly easy to find a good place to stay. I had stayed there for about a week and got to visit all the museums and historical places that I've dreamed about. It was GREAT. However, I do have a few complaints. I feel a bit bad about ranting about them but I believe that the place can do much better if they are willing to make some changes. First, the bathroom situation wasn't the best. For the female's floor, the hair on the drain was not cleared even after the housekeepers had stopped by. The sink was clogged up for a whole day with disgusting tissues swimming around in it. I didn't feel comfortable stepping on the floor sometimes. The bathroom stalls were so small that it was impossible to keep your clothes and towels dry. They had exactly ONE plug point near the bed. ONE. I've stayed in plenty of hostels and dorms, but never one with just one plug point and no USB charging port in sight. We all own more than one devices nowadays (powerbank, phone, airpods, apple watch, laptop ...) and I had to wake up in the middle of the night to make sure that everything's charged for my next day out. Many of their furnitures such as the bed frames, lockers, and tables were rusty. The beanbags's coverings in the public resting area on the second floor weren't washed for ages and they stank. All these shortcomings were slightly forgivable because of their hospitality in the hostel. All the staffs that I've met at the place were absolute angels. They tried their best to accommodate their guests' needs. They were polite, soft-spoken, and gentle. The location is also very ideal, near the market with some authentic local food and excellent fresh meat and vegetables if you plan to make your own meals in their kitchen. It is near a lot museums and historical places, even if you want to avoid using any public transportation it is absolutely walkable. If you want to take the metro, it is only a few minutes walk away. Overall, I was so thankful of the place but also couldn't wait to leave by the end of my stay. It was a mixed bag and you should choose your accommodation based on your priorities.

I arrived in the morning and couldn't check in yet, but I was able to leave my luggage in a locker and head out. The front desk staff was friendly and gave me great recommendations for nearby cafes, which I visited later. Even at the cafe, they were so kind and gave me a free cake! The surrounding area can feel a bit dark, so some might worry about safety. However, just a short walk away, there's an area with lots of restaurants where I enjoyed some delicious food!

I stayed here recently and the main issue is that it simply doesn’t offer good value for money. There are much better and cheaper options in Athens. The biggest problem was the beds. The mattresses were very uncomfortable — you can feel the springs, and even after changing beds it didn’t improve. For the price, this is not acceptable. The breakfast is definitely not worth €6. It’s extremely basic: cheap sliced bread, low-quality ham and cheese, yogurt, cereal, a small cake, and fruit that wasn’t fresh (some pieces were even spoiled). It feels overpriced for what you get. The happy hour wine is also disappointing — it’s just very cheap boxed wine, which doesn’t match the expectation. As for the staff, the cleaning staff were quite unfriendly, often not even acknowledging greetings. However, the reception team was helpful and polite, which I appreciated. To be fair, management did offer a partial refund regarding a pricing issue, which I appreciate. But overall, the experience does not justify the price. You can find better quality for less money in Athens.

The hotel's location is decent, close to the subway station. The rooms are clean and tidy. Self-check-in without a front desk is a bit inconvenient, but otherwise it's fine.

The hair dryer is broken Different service staff are very troublesome every day No way to swipe the card directly to enter In a more dangerous place. The neighborhood is full of chaos

As a solo female traveler, I stayed in a mixed-gender dorm and felt completely safe and at ease! The hotel is incredibly clean, and there are bathrooms not only in the rooms but also on each floor. The only downside is that the location feels a bit unsafe at night, making me hesitant to walk alone. I highly recommend Tavern Klimataria (Ταβέρνα Κληματαριά), which is about a 3-minute walk from the hotel – their food is absolutely delicious!

The location is less than 10 minutes walk from Omonia Station. The room was clean and the hair dryer was lent. The staff is also good. However, mosquitoes were physically strong in the room and when they came, they were stabbed in many places. No matter how many kills, they will be stabbed the next day. You should spray mosquitoes on your cleaning trip. Do you know that mosquitoes kill the first person? The staff should deal with mosquitoes right now.

I stayed a total of 4 nights! I stayed in both the dormitory and the single room and it was great. The single rooms fill up quickly so it's best to book early! There's also a cafe in the hotel so you can relax and unwind! The staff are all the best! They were so kind and helpful ☺️

I thought it was great that they provided a free breakfast. It was a buffet style with three kinds of bread, tomatoes, cucumbers, and plenty of drinks, including milk, juice, and water.

There are no ceramic dishes in the kitchen at all - only plastic, including spoons and forks. There was no kettle at all - neither electric nor regular - water has to be boiled in a saucepan, of which there are not enough for everyone. When the air conditioner is turned on, the room, despite the warm season, is quite cool!
