After reading so many reviews about how 'dodge' the area was and how bad the hostel was, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was exactly what I paid for, I can't fault it at all. Its about a 20 min walk to Monastraki, where everything that you 'need' to see in Athens is, including the Acropolis and lots... More

For 5 days, we stayed at Zorbas Hotel and we loved it! It is conveniently located in Victoria Square. Easy to get to via metro, bus, and taxi. The staff is great, very helpful and friendly. We received a free map, WIFI, computer & towel service. The common area is spacious, with a big screen tv, bar, and there is... More

We chose this hotel since it was very near to the train station. However, the rooms were run down, dark and the bathrooms were also very very basic. However, the staff was very helpful. They helped with directions, maps, hits and misses. The staff made up for what the rooms lacked.

My 18 year old daughter and I stayed here for a few days. It was great for us. We felt safe and our backpacks were fine and untouched left in the room. The A/C was awesome and really neat people there. The bar/hangout downstairs was really cool and even though we don't drink, they give free ouzo for your first... More

The worst place we've stayed in for two seperate trips to Europe (including sleeping in the Brussel's airport). The place REEKS of cigarette smoke. It's not soundproof, but if you are hard of hearing or don't mind being woken up at 2am by loud, drunk people talking outside your door or doing other things then for sure, stay here! The... More

I was disappointed to find that the 'hotel' was in fact a hostel. Run down building just off Viktoria Square. Pleasant enough staff but not that interested in helping people. Our room was private with an ensuite but close enough to the dorms that we heard all the screaming and rampaging of the hordes of American backpackers. If you want... More

This hostel was better than the first one we stayed at. It had working A/C and it had clean sheets. Its one down fall is that at night it is a little scary . Other than that - its close to the train, and the people who stayed there are great. The people at the front desk were helpful and... More

This place is the scungiest hostel we have stayed at in our so far 4 months of travel. Im not sure how the hostel sells itself as a "beautiful 1900's building" - its scungy as. And it is NOT renovated inside like it also states. Its pretty disgusting. A dead cochroch the size of my thumb greeted us on the... More

Our room slept 6 people. There were bugs in my bed. Definitely bring your own sheets! This was one of the only hostels we stayed in where I was nervous to leave my belongings unattended for any length of time (& we travelled for several weeks). It seemed really dirty & seedy. There is a small "bar" in the hotel... More
