Good hostel in the old town.
Good views. Nice restaurants close by. Bus
Very quiet and the views were excellent. Liked the fact that the oldest part of Thessaloniki is being vitalized. The hostel was very well looked after, by the management especially, Samuele
Best place to stay in Thessaloniki if you’re wanting some peace and quiet as well as going for walks in the upper town.It feels like a home away from home. It is comfy and clean. They are so accommodating and will go out of their way to help you with anything you need. We wish we could’ve stayed longer!
Clean and lovely room.Great value for money.
Located in the upper town where parking is still free of charge.The staff is really helpful.Totally recommended

Near ruins of the city wall
Tucked away on narrow/ steep streets, was still east to find. However parking, if u have a car, could be tricky. They lock the common area from about 11pm to 9am, so no way to get food out of fridge/ use kitchen if you leave early. Big lockers for luggage in room, individual electrical outlets at each bed . Bathroom only had 1 weak lightbulb over the sink. I don’t think there was a/c but the ceiling fan was good for October.
I really enjoyed my stay here.The location is lovely.The staff is excellent.The rooms are very clean and the matresses are comfortable.Very good value for money.Totally recommended
Probably the best hostel I have stayed at. Safe, clean, great hang out areas, awesome staff, prime location. I couldn’t believe how sweet the beds were as well! Somehow it’s so close to the heart of Thessaloniki but it’s super quiet,cause it's located in the beautiful upper town
Very beautiful and comfy hostel! The room was very spacious and clean, with a lot of storage space provided. The hostel is located in a nice area in the upper town of Thessaloniki- within walking distance to major points of interest. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended!

Not so good
It wasn't so bad as it was a hostel. But the twin bed which was on the other bed was so high. I was scared to fall off. A Bunk Bed Guardrail would be great. And lastly toilet and bath was not so good.
A really special hostel, it felt like home.It's clean and comfortable.The host Kosta is amazing and really makes you feel welcome. Very social atmosphere-easy to meet people Every room has individual bathrooms and toilets too which is great for hostels.Rooms have their own key.Mattresses are latex-foam. The location couldn't be better-right in the upper town-with a seas view. If I come back I'll stay here and I recommend you to stay here too :)
Very dirty place, small and awful bathroom and bad smell. The fridge door is full of mold. Dirty floor, room full of dust. The cleaning is a joke here!
Good internet and nice staff.
Considering what you get for your money this is the most expensive place in Thessaloniki.
Never go back again. I don't recommend
Mon sejour sest bien passé. Accieil sympa et proposition dun cage ou the non compris dans la reservation.

Fin og budget venlig hostel
Rigtig fin og budget venligt hostel, men det ligger på en bakke som man lige skal op af.
Meget imødekommende personale, men sengene var ret hårde og bruseren skulle man holde i hånden.
Er ellers meget tilfreds og ville klart tør at booke igen
Es war super dort unter zu kommen. Mega entspannte Atmosphäre. Das es am Rande der Albstadt gelegen ist ist auch ein Vorteil, es ist nicht so hektisch und laut. Abends im Hof ist es echt angenehm mit den anderen Gästen und Besuchern zusammen zu sitzen.
Struttura semplice ed informale. Personale gentile. Posizione a 15 minuti a piedi dal centro. Ho utilizzato la struttura per una sola notte, in quanto di passaggio.
