Filadelfeia-Chalkidona Holidays

Great value. Tiny room with big balcony. Balcony was larger than the room. The neighborhood is a little bit rough and may feel unsafe to younger travelers. Late night food shops nearby. Walking distance to major attractions like Plaka and Acropolis. Excellent public transport connections just around the corner. Everything a tourist needs.

Loved this place! Great food, great music, lovely view, cute rooms

Good hotel, rooms are clean and nice and staff was friendly. Horrifying terrible scary area. Don’t go out after dark especially if you are a woman.

Good location, clean rooms, helpful staff. Recommended!

Overall this is a pretty good hostel to stay in considering the price. The view from the rooftop bar is incredible and everything inside was super clean. All of doors to the rooms are keycard access so no one can wonder in. There’s also a nice social space on the 1st floor. The area around the hostel is not the safest or cleanest place to stay in Athens; however, I never had any issues walking around by myself. There were some guys staying at another hostel (I believe it was north of this one) who saw multiple people at night shooting themselves up so be aware of that. My main complaint is that the bunk room I stayed in was extremely hot. I understand that there are AC regulations in the city and it was July but even when it was on it felt like it did nothing. I was constantly sweating through the whole night. I never went into anyone else’s room so I’m not sure if it was a hostel wide problem. I also did not ask the staff about it because I was not staying long. So be aware of that if you’re sensitive to temperature. Despite that, I would still stay here again but hopefully in room with better AC.
