"I messaged my ex who was in Athens to try and sleep at his accommodation. My room had a smell of dog food and the man in the bunk across quite literally talked to himself, took loud calls, and was constantly farting. The staff where nice but I struggled to socialise at this hostel - maybe a positive of you are wanting to work. I spoke with others and they didn't seem to have a roommate as like I did; but yeah, I wouldn't be staying here again. "

"The receptionist (male) is rude and paranoid. I called the police on him because he refused to give me a receipt and he was harassing me from the time I checked in. He was psychologically harassing me and was threatening to kick me out because he did not likely question about the neighborhood if it's safe or not. I was appalled and traumatized by his attitude. I filed a police report for harassment and refusal to issue a receipt. Racist and inhospitable service. Will not recommend to anyone....
