I spent 10 days there mainly for budget reasons. However, the staff is great. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and it's fairly accessible. The neighbor appears sketchy, but actually it isn't bad. Two subway lines are within 5 minutes, and there are good services nearby. For the money, you really cant find anything nicer.

I can't exactly remember why we chose this hostel. I am pretty surprised it is even mentioned in books such as Rough Guides and Lets Go. The positives: free welcome drink, free breakfast, free internet, hot shower, air conditioning. The negatives: extremely rude man at the front desk, rude lady who serves the breakfast, dangerous light fixtures which if you... More

Took a double. Spacious enough for two. There is no electrical plug in the room. Continental breakfast in the morning. Internet was down all 4 days we were there. Take antique lift at own risk as the utility workers are turning off the electricity whenever they want. To get there take metro to larissa sta. take filadefilas exit. coming out... More

The staff at Aphrodite are extremely helpful. They went above and beyond to help us with touring around Greece and even gave us suggestions for travelling in other destinations. The atmosphere was very friendly, and though the bar downstairs wasn't anything exciting it was still easy to get to know people. The rooms themselves are not that great, and the... More

After traveling for 6 months I think we know what a good quality hostel is. This one meets the criteria of a good one. Quite neighbourhood (unique Greek experience). The hostel offers a cheap simple breakfast, there are lost of supermarkets around the area if you want to pick something. Unfortuantely, the hostel doesn't have a kitchen. Hey, you are... More

It's located in a quieter residetial area, not too far from the main sights. The staff is super friendly. The conditions of the rooms/showers above average for a hostel. The best thing about Hostel Aphrodite is provably the good value for money. It was awarded the "best value hostel in Athens" by Balkan - Hostels .biz .ly. If you are... More

The hostel is a little bit far away from the victoria station and in not a very safe area for a woman alone. And the worth is that the hostel looks like a jail during soviet period. The room and the bathroom are not clean. A lot of noise, one key for a four people dormitory and very expensive 45€... More
