    The location of the hostel was excellent, with easy access to cafes, restaurants, and public transportation. The staff was friendly and helpful, providing valuable information about the local area. I also appreciated the presence of lockers, which allowed me to store my valuables securely.

    the beds were uncomfortable and squeaky, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. Lastly, the lack of cleanliness in the bathrooms was a major drawback.

    I recently had an exceptional stay at a hostel in the heart of Athens. the location was perfect, with a supermarket just a short walk away. the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the bathrooms were well-maintained. the staff were friendly, polite, and always ready to help. Although there was no breakfast provided, the hostel had a kitchen where guests could prepare their own meals. the rooftop terrace was a highlight, offering a great spot to relax and enjoy a drink. the only downside was the unreliable internet connection. I highly recommend this hostel for its convenient location and excellent service.

    I had a wonderful stay at Chameleon Youth Hostel. The location was superb, just a few minutes away from the Acropolis. The rooftop terrace was a highlight, perfect for enjoying breakfast with a stunning view. The staff were friendly and always willing to help. The 24-hour reception made check-in easy, even late at night. The common area was cozy, with complimentary coffee and tea. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this hostel for its great location and excellent service.

    The staff at this hostel were incredibly friendly and helpful. They made me feel right at home and were always available to answer any questions I had. the location of the hostel couldn't be beat - it was within walking distance to all the major attractions and there was even a supermarket nearby for convenience. the cleaning staff did a great job of keeping the place tidy and clean.

    The rooms were a bit on the smaller side, with limited storage space. the bathrooms also lacked shelves and hooks, making it a bit inconvenient to keep things organized.

    The location of Chameleon Youth was absolutely fantastic, right on the fringe of the Acropolis area and away from the overly touristic Plaka. The Psirri district with its fantastic restaurants at good prices was just across the road. The hostel itself was kept very clean and the hot water in the shower was always hot. I appreciated the attention to security, with centralized lockers and 24-hour watch at the reception. The staff was attentive and the owner managed the day-to-day business herself. And who can resist the adorable visits from Hermes, the operator's dog? I would highly recommend this hostel for its amazing location and cleanliness.

    The location is perfect, with easy access to the center and attractions like the Acropolis. There are many restaurants, a bakery, pharmacy, and supermarket nearby. The hostel provides helpful advice on getting to and from the airport.

    The dorm room had a strange setup with a ceiling fan and light that couldn't be turned off separately, making it uncomfortable to sleep in the hot weather.

    I stayed at a hostel that had a fantastic location, as it was close to all the important ancient landmarks in the city. It was also conveniently located near the metro station, making it easy to explore the city. Additionally, the staff was helpful and the rooms were clean.

    The bathroom facilities were in need of renovation, with noticeable mold and showers that were not in the best condition.

    As a solo traveler, one of the best things about staying at this hostel was the friendly and helpful staff. They provided great information about Greece and made me feel welcome. the location was also ideal, with easy access to the Thissio station and the Grand Promenade leading to the Acropolis. Plus, the hostel had a well-equipped kitchen and clean bathrooms, and the rooftop terrace was a favorite spot.

    Super friendly and laid-back staff who made me feel right at home. The location couldn't be better, with a supermarket just a minute away and great breakfast and dinner spots within a 5-minute walk. , the proximity to major attractions like the Acropolis and Monastiraki square was a huge plus. I loved the peaceful and clean atmosphere of the hostel, it felt just like being at home. And having separate plugs next to every bed meant no charging problems!

    There were a few minor issues that could be improved. The WiFi sometimes dropped for a moment and could be a bit slow.
