Room was very clean (if a little on the small size). Staff was super helpful and friendly. Great breakfast! A fun and interesting walk (about 30 mins) to Acropolis and all the downtown attractions. It's in a somewhat sketchy neighborhood, but really one could say that about the entire Athens downtown core (or virtually any large city anywhere...).
Overall a solid value!

Clean and well-maintained hotel. The bed was comfortable, and we really appreciated being allowed an early check-in. I’m giving it 4 stars because the shower could have some improvement—it's difficult to have a proper shower because the showerhead is set too low and there’s no shower curtain. The surrender area is \"weird.'

As said before by others, the street and neighborhood is very bad. Even if there’s a police station in the same street 100 meters away. Many junkies and homeless people. Who also several at night so we woke up many times. The upside is that a main metro station is close by.
Reception staff very friendly, breakfast crew is helpful.
Elevators are tiny and extremely slow.

Athens has many different states of maintained or gentrified states of buildings along its roads. You can have a beautiful looking hotel on one side of the street and then 30m away on the other side of the street you can have a nice looking hotel that is beside a run down park that drug addicts use to get high and pass out. That is where Athens Choice is located, beside that park. It did not feel unsafe because there is a high police presence, but it is unattractive. Also, the hotel stated they have laundry facilities, they do not, but there are many laundromats close by. The breakfast was decent, but no hot items except for hard boiled eggs. You can walk to the Acropolis from here in about 20 mins.

The staff was excellent but the hotel didn't have laundry or a gym as advertised. Elevators were scary and need a makeover. Some of the noises from outside were unnerving as the area has many drug users and prostitutes in the area.

The hotel is very great for what it is. As two students travelling on a budget, we really liked it. The neighbourhood is a little rough, but for the price it's understandable. The breakfast was filling, but just make sure you time it well since the dining area can fill up quickly. All and all if you would like a short stay in Athens at a reasonable price next to a metro connection, it's a solid choice.

Athens Choice is suitable for a quick, budget-friendly stay if you’re not expecting much beyond the basics. The location is definitely the highlight, close to hop-on/hop-off bus stops and surrounded by plenty of great food options.The staff were genuinely kind and extremely welcoming, which was a refreshing touch and one of the better aspects of our stay. Unfortunately, the breakfast didn’t live up to the hype in other reviews. It was served cold, and the boiled eggs looked like they’d been made the day before. We ended up grabbing something nearby in the square. Overall, if you're just passing through and prioritize location over comfort, it does the job. But don’t come expecting a full 3-star experience.

It’s quiet area at night so had no problem sleeping but the beds were a little harder than I like. That would be the only negative.

The hotel is very clean and the staff is wonderful. Breakfast is nice. The hotel is located very close to the metro and good restaurants a 5 minutes walk. The metro takes you to Acropolis/Parthenon and Greek people are very nice. The only thing is the area around the hotel is full of graffiti and it’s dirty but all Athens is like that. We saw 5 star hotels areas the same. However, police headquarters is 200 meters from the hotel. We were told homeless people never bother anyone and the area is safe. We felt safe all the time even walking at night.

Excellent customer service from the front desk, very knowledgeable, caring and nice, specially Ross.
Very tiny room. Bed sheets twin size for a queen bed. The bathroom is very tiny. The shower is a big joke. No shower head hanger. To take a “shower” you have to be holding the shower head with one hand and soap yourself with just one hand. No curtains in the shower, obviously the water splashes everywhere making a big pool to be standing. The “bar” just exists in pictures. Rooms no soundproof. You can hear a pin drop. Elevator just for one person and a small carryon at a time. Bad neighborhood. No recommended at all!

Omonia is a Dirty, Run-down area!!

The Dirty, Run-Down area full of Homeless people and Hookers ruins this Hotel’s location!! Room is small but adequate for an overnight stay. I’d skip this area if you’re in Athens for a few days though as Monastiraki, Plaka and Acropolis precincts have a much more pleasant atmosphere with a huge selection of outdooor cafe’s, bars, restaurants & shopping!

O staff não foi muito amigável, a cama era pouco confortável. O chuveiro só tinha protecção de um lado, o que era impossível não encharcar o piso. Pequeno almoço muito limitado. Tinha bons acessos para transporte, e boa zona comercial. A vista parecia que estávamos numa zona de guerra, zona muito mal cuidada, pela própria filosofia da cidade e dos cidadãos. Zona de sem abrigos, drogados e prostituição, no entanto não tivemos problemas nenhuns, nem nunca fomos abordados. Tem uma esquadra de polícia junto ao hotel.

Of course, we will get what we pay for. And the hotel is relatively cheaper compared to the other ones, however, the location, it is on is not so good and the surroundings are horrendous. The night I stayed, people outside the hotel are fighting by throwing stones at each other and the glass bottles with a fire. It was a panic moment and later I understood that it was for a football match they fought. This was my experience.

Do not expect a hostel. It's a hotel.

This IS NOT A HOSTEL. The only reason this gets deemed a hostel is because they put some bunkbeds in some of the bed rooms. We've stayed at various hostels so we understand generally the experience. As described already in numerous other reviews, very clean, good staff, area can feel unsettling but didn't really feel and threat to our safety at all. But basic stuff from hostels like daily events, communal spaces for people to meet up aren't there. We weren't even allowed to bring our own alcohol into the common area because there is a bar on premise that they try to force you to buy from and the nights we were there was completely empty. Lockers are not in your room (on 1st floor) so be aware of that and they charge you 1 Euro per night to use locker (cost is inconsequential but it's a bit of a nuisance to even charge this. breakfast is basic but not bad.

Great budget hostel in dodgy neighborhood

I really like this hostel for the new condition, ensuite bathroom, comfortable bunk beds , air con, daily towels service and lavish breakfast included. Very clean and modern. However the main drawback is its location in a seedy part of town. While central to many sights (short walk to omonia square metro stop which is one or two stops to syntagma square, acropolis and monastiriki etc ) the street itself is dirty and full of shuttered store and graffiti with people loitering at night who look like drug addicts and the like. I practically sprint my way from the metro to the hostel every night I stayed there. If you are a guy or traveling in a group it may be a safe choice.

Loads of eating places, from cheap to more fancy. I did not have much time and was not feeling so good, so I bought a \"hop on hop off\" ticket from the hotel reception and went to Omonia place where the metro/subway station is and where I waited for my tour bus. Ticket is good for two days and takes you to all the interesting spots/museum/Acropolis/shopping plaza, etc. Did not have to fight my way in busy subway trains, change connections, etc. I sat on the bus roof top, enjoying the great weather and taking pictures.
