Had to put our card in the light box to turn on electric, makes it hard to charge devices unless you are in the room. No USB outlets, but the desk clerk loaned me one.

I had a wonderful stay in the City Circus Hostel ! The place is really well located, you are able to enjoy all of the citie's treasures by feet. The rooms and common parts are clean, the lockers in the dorms are big, and it's possible to get a really good vegan/ vegetarian breakfast ! Special mention to Tryphon (or Triphon), who welcomed me, and helped me a lot during my stay (it was my first destination in Greece) ! Thank you, and go on with those professional and human qualities :D

I would have given 5 stars for cleanliness and staff friendliness. But I remove 1 point for a bedbug that I woke up to crawling on bedsheet in front of me. Such a bummer because I was so happy with the hostel. Although it was only 1 (I hope). All the rest was fantastic, there is a nice terrace with the view on acropolis. Also close to the center.

Die Lage ist sehr gut, genau am Rande, wo das Leben beginnt zu toben. Es ist eher ein kleines Hostel, was es gemütlich macht. Aufgrund des historischen Gebäudes ist es jedoch sehr hellhörig. Aber ohne die schnarchenden Frauen wäre es glaub mit Ohropax ruhig genug gewesen. Ansich alles sauber, nur die Toilette neben der Rezeption war jedes Mal schmutzig.
