"Amazing people, great location, place is brand new. Jacuzzi and rooftop terrace is lovely. Maria is awesome! If it is full or close to full, it can be 20 people sharing 2 showers. Downstairs private suite shares bathroom with men’s dorm and is adjacent to smoking area, which is not ideal. Doorbell rings many times through the night. Just things to know. Uber is $50euro from airport. "

"We stayed in a family room with 5 beds and found it very spacious and clean. It had hanging space and air conditioning and the shower and toilet facilities were just opposite the room. We never had to wait to use the bathroom facilities. The place felt quiet and well looked after. Any questions I had before my stay were responded to quickly. Overall we were very impressed and found the location great. Breakfast was adequate too so for a reasonably priced stay in Athens this is an excellent...

"Acropolis View Dream Hostel turned out to be a really pleasant surprise and a great base for exploring Athens. The rooms were simple but clean, the shared kitchen and common areas made it easy to chat with other travelers, and the rooftop terrace with the Acropolis in the distance was the highlight of every evening. The neighbourhood felt busy and a bit rough at first, but after a day I appreciated how convenient it was for cheap food and transport, and I ended up really enjoying the atmosphere...
