Athens Hawks

The location is good, you can do everything on foot, the people are friendly, I just think that for a shared room the hairdryer could be in the bathroom or elsewhere, as I couldn't dry my hair because there were people sleeping.

This is a very clean and new backpacker hostel. The bar and kitchen are on the second floor, and when I went there was an ATM at the reception. The rooms are spacious and small. However, all rooms have their own bathrooms, so there doesn't seem to be any competition. It's close to Omonia Square, Psiri, and the Athens Central Market, and is in a district with a lot of Middle Eastern residents, so it's a little different from the image of Athens (but there are many cheap restaurants, so it was useful).

The hostel is located 15 minutes from the Monastiraki metro station. The hostel provides a shuttle bus to the airport, it needs to be booked a day in advance. The hostel itself occupies the entire entrance to the roof. There is a bar on the roof and a large terrace on all sides of the building. They remove badly. The hostel is dirty, no one really cleaned the showers, only the garbage will be taken out and the floor will be wiped. The bed linen has already been made, only sheets from the blanket. From the air conditioner and the window was blowing, there was nothing to hide. The pillows are very uncomfortable and damp. Slept without a pillow and ended up wearing a sweatshirt. The room was large, but crowded with beds. I don’t know why it happened, my neighbors from the USA and Australia practically didn’t go anywhere and generally stayed in the room all day. They fell asleep and vomited. Why the stench in the room was incredible from sweat, stuffiness, vomit. The shower bath is always stuffy and damp, there is a small window. Drawers for things are located right next to the shower door, which makes it very inconvenient to use them, they are far from the beds. There were a lot of mosquitoes in the room, I had a fumigator with me, it helped. All night people went back and forth, I practically did not sleep, every day I was broken. They give you a free shot upon check-in. Prices at the bar are moderate, aperol and mojito for 8 euros. The breakfast is rich, there are eggs and fruits, bread, jam and oatmeal, payment at the bar on the same floor. Free drinking water at the bar, it's convenient to fill the bottle. It was unpleasant to be in the room, so after sightseeing I sat in the lounge area, where the kitchen is. Worked there, wi-fi catches well. You can order dinner in the kitchen, I have never taken it, but I saw it, they say that it is tasty and convenient, you don’t have to go anywhere. They rent towels. The area itself is located somewhere in the backyard, it’s very scary to walk in the evening, there are only construction sites, abandoned buildings, parking lots and Pakistani-Indian establishments around. There are no women walking around the area at all. The photo is a view from the roof.
