Ok, but wouldn't recommend

The hotel was close to the center, but in a very bad area. Not really safe to walk at night. Anyway, I think they hosted refugees which always were sitting on the stairs or entrance. Children screaming into the late hours. They put me in the wrong room, in a mixed instead of female only. Luckily only the last night male guests arrived. Wouldn't book again

This is more like for a group.

When I arrived there, the reception told me that there is a bed for me, but I need to move a room to room during the stay because many guests are large groups like families. As a result, they offered to switch the hostel near them, so I didn't really get a service from them. But they arranged a taxi to go to the other hostel. That was nice.

Good place for cheap travelleres

I spent 1 night in a 4 bed dorm. Location is good, out of the city center, but just 1 minute walk from the metro station, and 20 minutes walk to the main attractions. Kind, nice and helpful staff, easy and quick. check in, comfortable bed. Bathroom was not the best, but acceptable. It was a really cheap place, so for that price for me was ok. Specially recommend for backpackers, or/and cheap travellers.

Friendly folk stay here

I really loved my stay here. The staff were friendly and helpful from the word go and it was one of the cleanest places I’ve stayed. There was a kitchen area with a fridge and I think some cooking facilities too. The bunks gave you enough room to sit up without hitting your head and the shower was sooooo good. The room was just the right size and had enough space for you to sit and talk too. Made some good mates here. Good location WiFi was intermittent Would improve security by having room keys and lock boxes. Would also include curtains around the beds. I recommend this place.

Милый старый отель со своим шармом.

Уютный старенький отельчик. Находится в тихом месте рядом с метро. Дружелюбный и отзывчивый персонал готовый прийти вам на помощь. Все чисто. Один недостаток в моей комнате L очень скрипели двери. Чувствовал себя преступником когда соседи спали. Приятная веранда где можно выпить кофе.

저렴한 가격을 찾는 여행객에게

가격이 굉장히 저렴하지만 처음에는 가격만 저렴하다고 생각했습니다. 방에는 햇빛이 잘 안 들어오고, 공간이 좁고, 약간 퀘퀘한 냄새가 나서 굉장히 불편했습니다. 그러나 점점 지내면서 화장실을 깨끗이 청소하고, 에어컨이 되니 더운 아테네의 날씨를 버틸 수 있었습니다. 그러나 위치는 아테네 중심가에서 애매한 위치에 떨어져 있어 이동은 조금 불편하였습니다. 가격만 생각하시는 분에게 추천하는 호스텔입니다.

절대로 가면 안되는 나쁜 곳. 사진은 처음 받은 방의 상태.

나는 내 인생의 모든 여행의 숙소 중에 이곳이 가장 나빴다. 이 숙소는 호텔스닷컴에서 특가로 싸게 구입했다. 그것은 원래 59.000원 정도의 방을 만원대로 할인한다고 되어있었다. 결론적으로 이 곳은 그 가격대의 숙소가 아니었다. 이것은 호텔스닷컴의 문제라고 생각한다. 그 다음은 이 호스텔의 문제이다. 내가 처음 받은 방은 맨 윗층에 매우 더럽고 냄새나고 창고같은 방이었다. 나는 이런 호스텔을 본 적이 없다. 어떻게 이런 곳을 돈을 받고 손님에게 줄 수 있는지 모르겠다. 심지어 높고 계단이 가파른 이곳을 나는 무거운 캐리어를 들고 올라가느라 허리가 아파서 이때의 일로 지금 병원에서 치료를 받고 있다. 나는 리셉션에 말했다. 이곳이 호스텔 방이 맞냐. 맞다며 뭐가 문제냐고 했다. 처음에는 그냥 있으려고 했다. 그런데 화장실과 샤워실 불이 들어오지 않아서 말했더니 그는 알고 있었다. 그러면서 그 화장실을 못 쓰겠으면 아래층 내려와서 다른방 화장실을 쓰라는 거다. 잠시후에 나는 이곳에 있을 수 없다고 혼불을 요구했다. 그랬더니 다른방을 사용하게 해주겠다고 했다. 1층에 있는 방을 2일과 1일 각각 다른 침대를 사용해야했다. 나는 그렇게 하겠다고 했다. 그들은 나에게 돈을 더 지불해야한다고 했다. 문제가 없었으면 그냥 사용했을텐데 이해할 수 없다고 했다. 그러나 그는 원래 받는 가격보다 싼거라면 이곳은 1층이기때문에 더 내야한다고 했다. 나는 그의 입장도 있을거라 생각하고 돈을 더 냈다. 그런데 마지막 날 방을 옮겨야해서 몇시에 옮겨야 하는지 물어보러 갔다. 그는 다른 직원이었고 나에게 원래 있기로 한 1층에 침대가 없으니 2층을 사용하라는 것이었다. 나는 1층이라고 해서 돈을 더 냈다. 그랬더니 방이 없다. 나는 그건 모르겠다고 했다. 그래서 나는 다른 직원에게 1층이기때문에 돈을 더 냈다 왜 2층에 가야하냐 말했더니 1층에는 방이 없다. 2층만 있다고 했다. 그렇게 나는 돈도 더 내고 또 무거운 캐리어를 2층까지 들고 올라가 하루를 있었다. 2층 숙소의 침대는 2층사람이 움직이면 공장 고철 소리가 나서 그날 밤에 나는 한숨도 못자고 공항으로 갔다. 이 곳은 모든 것이 나쁘다. 사람도 나쁘고 숙소도 나쁘다. 주변지역도 냄새나고 지져분 하다. 나는 이런 리뷰를 쓰는 게 처음이다. 정말 최악이다!!

Okay hotel

We made the decision to visit Athens at the last minute so there were very few options for hotels. Zorbas is located 1 block from the Victoria metro station, which was very convenient for getting to/from the airport and to all the sites at Acropolis and Syntagma. There are a few sketchy characters in the area, but overall the neighborbood was decent. The hotel is in an older building so the condition is just okay. We had a triple room with private bath and the bathroom was recently renovated. Beds were decent and the room was spacious. Main problem was the security in the room. There were two windows out the back that had no lock and someone could have easily entered from a fire escape staircase. The door itself also had a cheap lock. We were so worried about our things when we left that we locked our bags together and barricaded the door shut. We didn't expect much for the price we paid, but security is a must in any hotel room.

Super venlig betjening. Rigtig god beliggenhed lige ved metro og cafeer. Gåafstand til centrum. Meget slidt, fedtet gulvtæppe og følelses af, at der ikke var helt rent. Linned og håndklæder lugtede af meget skrap kemi.
