thesshostel - Thessrooms

What to say more? Room that we get was very clean. Quite big space with nice desin. Staf very kind and helpful in any need. It is close from train station, walked about 6 min.

While traveling back from Zakynthos we stopped overnight in Thessaloniki and this hotel was a good option for us. Although it is placed in a former industrial area behind the railway station and the neighborhood is not really the best in town, overall it is well positioned at only 5 minutes by car from the port where all entertainment can be found. The room was a loft, very cousy and and newly furnished. All is industrial style but comfortable.

I stayed three nights at the Thess Hostel. The entrance is colorful, and easy to spot on Agion Panton street. The hostel is in a good location for travelers: near the train station and the bus depot. It is a couple of km from central Thessaloniki and the harbor, but there are several buses available on Monasteriou, a nearby main street. The family that runs the hostel are helpful, and speak excellent English. My room had twin beds, a wardrobe, flat-screen TV, air-conditioner, small desk and chair. The WiFi signal was strong. A small balcony looked out over other buildings, and was useful for drying clothing/towels. The bathroom (shared) was tiled with large sink, bathtub/shower and toilet. There was also a shared kitchenette, with small refridge, hot plate, sink, a few pots, pans, plates and cutlery. Everything was clean. Although breakfast was not included, there was a local bakery a few doors along Agion Panton street which was open 24 hours and had superb bougatsas (a filled flaky pastry), crepes and other freshly-baked pastries. There was some noise from occasional trains, but the streets and trains quieted down at night. My bed was comfortable. The Salonica Mall (large multi-floor, lots of shops and large grocery store) was 750m to the west, an easy walk. The lobby of Thess Hostel had hot coffee/tea and cold drinking water available when it was open (most of the day). Bikes were available for rent. I thought it offered very good value for the price of a room.

This hostel is extremely ghetto. Inside it looks like you are in the ghetto, and is very dimly lit, and makes you feel like maybe you are not in a safe place. There is no heat and it gets very cold inside, extremely cold at night. The kitchen facilities are not fully equipped as they say they are. I even emailed ahead to ask if they had certain things in the kitchen and they said yes, but when I arrived they did not. I had to go out and buy the extra kitchenware myself. The showers do not always have hot water. Only a couple of the days did it have hot water. A couple of the days the water was too cold to shower at all. A couple of the other days it was warm enough to shower but not very comfortably. And the internet is very spotty and doesn't always work, which can really cause you trouble if you need to use it, especially for work like me. And the place isn't even cheap either, you are paying more than you should for such accomodations. The only good thing is that the female staff are very friendly and try to be accomodating, but there is only so much they can do to be accomodating when the accomodations are simply so poor. And the male staff member doesn't even try to be accomodating and obviously doesn't care about his job or the customers. In the end this was one of the worst hostels I have ever stayed at, and made for a very depressing stay in greece.

Very cooperative and friendly staff. Located near local bus station and train station. So have added advantage of east commute. Rooms are small but clean and washroom are also good. Have a lounge for self service to make tea/coffee any time. For the amount, that they charge, its services are more than enough

We really liked the hostel and the room we where sleeping in . It was super super warm there , we needed to turn down the heater .|What you need to know is, that the WiFi is not working that good, most of the time we where using mobile data.||And what u also need to consider is that most of the ppl not just in the hostel, also in the apartment next to it, where super loud . ||If you need to use the bus to the airport, make sure figure out how to get there , the ladies in the hostel don’t know which bus station it is exactly. That’s why we ended up taking a taxi .||And there is a cat, she actually owns this place . She is everywhere. But she is really funny 😅

Stayed at the 3 bedroom apartment. Very basic, has fridge and hot pot.But clean. Balconies in all rooms. Kitchen has only 2 chairs, but in apartment there are 6 beds. 1 room is with double bed, not 2 separate beds! No place for cooking. 1 shower and 1 wc in same room for 6 beds; 20minute walk from city centre. Has coffee shops and food chains close by on the main street. Parking is on the street, but it is tough to find space at night especially. parking on the street is for free.

Excellent location, Friendly staff||||Room toilet runs continuously after flush. Housekeeper took my shampoo one day, my soap the next day, though I was not through using them and she did not replace.||||WiFi just okay, slows to a crawl at times. Laptop could connect from my room, and tablet could only connect near ground floor reception. Sometimes one of Thess Hostel’s 2 transmitters would disappear and remaining one was nearly useless to 2nd floor room; 90% of websites could not open. No WiFi to room 2 consecutive mornings.||||Thess advertised ‘lockers available’, but in fact there are none, but supposedly a locker behind reception desk. Lockers should be added, or the designation ‘available lockers’ should be removed from list of amenities.
