Small Funny World Athens

You get what you pay for! Fantastic location in the mix of a bunch of fun bars and coffee shops. Walking distance to Acropolis, which can also be seen from the terrace. The guy at reception was incredibly friendly and helpful. The lost souls that were staying there would stare at you as if they were going to hurt you in your sleep (definitely not your typical backpackers seemed more like long-term residents living in tent camps). The kitchen was a joke. 3 coffee cups for about 85 people. The hot plate doesn't heat, and the kettle has no lid. The toilets have no seats. The shower water was hot, but the stall was so small that when you touched the walls, you felt dirtier than when you got in. Beds came with free bugs, and there was an ogre sleeping in our room.

This is hostel so bare that in mind when booking. You get what you pay for, this is £10 per night per person. The location is EXCELLENT and couldn’t be any better. The staff are amazing and really easy to contact. Beds are comfy, a balcony upstairs and there is a fridge and cooking facilities upstairs (though I think some people live here full time so there wasn’t much space). Everything is clean just a bit run down. My only niggle would be the showers are very small however the waters warm and the pressures good. I would recommend when travelling! Also the other guest are all nice and keep themselves to themselves.

I got badly bitten by bed bugs in this hostel. Hundreds of bites that formed large welts as they enlarged - and even blisters. They were on my toes, feet, legs, hands, arms, back and face. They lasted for over 2 weeks and were very itchy. A guy in the room had also been bitten many times. ||||The location was very central, but the kitchen was tiny and the living room and balcony were very dirty. The showers were so small that there was almost no room on each side of my shoulders. I stayed in early-mid June 2023 and the room was very very hot. ||||But those things were all fine. The worst thing was the bed bugs - I had a strong reaction (anti-histamines didn’t help) and the bites became huge and I had to go to the doctor and take two types of pills.

Only pick this if you're on a very tight budget. Friendly staff besides older ladY, with big rooms. Met some dudes in the common area, had a smoke with them. Encountered BEDBUGS (yes theyre not dangerous they just bite and itch), and when I told the owner, she didn't care she just gave me rude answers whatever I asked. Seems like the place is more for long-term residents and homeless druggies. Most of the toilet etc are broken

This place has all the ingredients to be fun and great. Clean beds, great location, and friendly staff. The problem is the clientele. This place is packed with strange and rude older men- almost nobody was in their 20's. They separate the rooms into single genders too, which makes the vibe even stranger, esp. if you're a woman. People are up all night in the rooms talking on their phones, they have no regard for sleeping guests, and the hygiene was pretty terrible. I'm talking using the bathroom with the door open and pretty bad body odor. The kitchen was littered in dirty dishes and spilled food. If this place cleaned up their act and kept it to 35 years and younger, it'd be pretty fun. Instead, it was just pretty disconcerting. That said it's cheap and centrally located and decently comfortable. So 2 stars.

Undoubtely, the worst hostel I have ever stayed in. First of all, the facilities are neglected, old and dirty; the whole hostel smells foul. The showers are ridiculously small and there is not hot water. Likewise, the kitchen is a pigsty. Moreover, the rooms are very cold and the beds are old and uncomfortable with dirty and stained sheets. But worst of all, they have an infestation of bed bugs in all the beds. I repeat, in all of them. My girlfriend and I became aware of the presence of these bed bugs in the middle of the night and the hostel staff (very nice by the way) offered us another room, in principle free of bed bugs. However, the next day we could see that it also had these unpleasant insects. To top it off, the scammers refused to refund our money for the night. In conclusion, the worst hostel I have ever stayed in. I would not recommend it even to my worst enemy.

Disgusting and unbearable, it was full of bed bugs and they stung my whole body, the beds and bedspreads were very old, the beds made a lot of noise with a very small movement and disturbed the sleep of others. And the old lady who works at the reception is very rude and disrespectfu. I don't recommend.

Let me tell you something: friendly staff and probably the cheapest place to stay in town. acropolis and other nice sites very close. downside: beds hilariously squeaky, bathrooms quite dirty, in rooms with 14 people the air gets super bad at night. no other backpackers in their 20s but that may be because of the early seson. no encounters with bedbugs but i can’t say for sure. basically you gotta decide if you want a (small funny) cheap hostel for your stay in athens or not ;)
