| Comments: A good stepping stone if you need a night before or after a ferry. But if you're coming for Athen's sight seeing I would get something a bit more central. |

| Comments: this place was a little tricky to find. it is about a block away from the post office in Pireus. made a great pit stop after late arrival off a ferry and after the metro closed. room decor was entertaining, but served the purpose well. |

| Comments: The weirdest decor ever, have tried to do it up retro styles but a bit DIY disaster. Pretty basic esp for the price definietly stayed in nicer hostels, but clean and close to the port for early ferries |

| Comments: Nice clean rooms but the staff are not very helpful and offer you to use their internet and then only tell you afterwards that you must pay for it and it is double the price of the net cafe thats just across the road! Great location near the port but still the staff make no efforts to be nice or welcoming. |

| Comments: This hostel is NOT in Athens, it\'s a locality outside the town and so it\'s impossible to go out at night unless you are ok to wait for the 1st metro in the morning. |

| Comments: This place was perfect for us since we were just in Athens one night and needed a place close to the port. The room was cheap and the staff very helpful. The room was very clean and nice also. All round this is perfect if you are only in Athens for a night or two and want to be close to the port |

| Comments: Great location to the Port; not a great location to tour the city of Athens. It´s a 10 min. walk to the metro station, then about a 20 min. ride to get to the Acropolis. Unfortunately, it´s also an hour away from the airport. The staff was amazingly helpful though. We were given so much great advice on the islands and navigating the city. |

| Comments: Stayed in a triple room and one of the bed is a campbed! I am wondering whether this is the common practise of all hotel/hostel for a 3 person room.
A/C costs 6Euro more. A bit hot without A/C. Very close to port, we reached there late and left early in the morning. |

| Comments: we stayed here on the way to the islands and i was glad it was only for 1 night. it serves it's purpose but isn't a 'nice hotel'. however we chose to stay again on our way back from the islands as it is a good location. second time the room was nicer, first time the toilet leaked. |

| Comments: Great location if travelling to the islands the next day, only a 10 minute walk or the hotel gave a free shuttle to the port. Wouldn't spend any more than one night, more so because of the area than the hotel. |

| Comments: Absolutely brilliant location if you are catching an early ferry or returning late at night. 5 minute walk from the port !
Well connected to Central Athens by metro and bus. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to help us ! |

| Comments: Stayed at this hotel due to the fact that it is near the port. Great hotel and people!! This is more like a 3 or 4 star hotel for a hostel price. Rooms are decorated very nice, as well. |

| Comments: Great location just before or after you use the port for the cyclades islands. The owner is great, and the new bar is excellent. Easy to get to, by either metro from the airport (about 6 euros a person), bus E96 (3 euros a person) or a taxi ride (23 euros from airport). Can even help you book ferry tickets. Great value for a hotel who even drove us down to the port when we ferried to the islands. |

| Comments: The bathroom situation is bad: lots of flooding if anyone attempts a shower. But the flooding was no worse than the bathrooms of the other places we stayed in Greece. Plus, the location in Pireaus and the free shuttle service to the port are handy. Stay here only if you have to catch an early morning ferry to an island. Otherwise, find a better place in Athens. |

| Comments: It is not made clear on their listing that you have to pay extra for air conditioning - I think that the words optional extra should be next to Air conditioning as it is somewhat deceiving. Anything that is mentioned in facilitities is assumed as free if not free then should be stated. |

| Comments: The lady at reception had a face like a fart and a personality to match - the guy the owner was quite nice. Do not pay for the breakfast it is crap you can get better from nearby cafes.
This is a fantastic place if you are going by ferry somewhere. Rooms are great for a family |
