Great hostel with rooftop view of acropolis!

We had a great stay! The rooms were large, clean, and the AC worked well. We were in an area where multiple people warned us to not walk alone at night (we are two women). The staff didn’t let us check in until 3pm, but the initial email had said check in was 2pm. I wished they would’ve offered to let us shower in a public washroom since the check in time we were told wasn’t accurate. Otherwise, everything was great. There’s an incredible view on the top deck too of the acropolis.
