Re: Hostel Aphrodite
Apr 5, 2008,
Just an update: I stayed in the hostel and it was very nice. Staff was very friendly, anything you need help with they will help you with, room was clean, they provided sheets and everything, computers were free and well run, they even had WIFI for my laptop. The only down side is they run a bar downstairs at night and the music is a bit loud (i stayed in the dorm room on the first floor, the other rooms might not be as bad, just a tip if you are in that room plug up the area around the pipe in the front left corner with a towel or something... it'll quite it a lot).
It wasn't as far out as people made it sound online. About a 5-10 minute walk to the train\subway\bus station (which is how you get to athen from europe or the airport) from where your just a few stops from the main area (tickets are .8 euro each so its well worth the money you save staying there)
hope this helps!

The no cost breakfast and also the bar is a nice touch although I didn't really get a chance to try it out.
Tammy T...
The Aphrodite Hostel and Bar were awesome. when i saw the" Aphrodite bar club" facebook page with the latest photos i knew it was the place. It was right near the train station and subway Larisa making it easy to locate and get around the rest of Athens! The staff were really friendly and the Aphrodite bar right below the hostel was a great place to get drunk cheap and to meet fellow travelers. The bar was busy every night so if you aren't looking to party this might not be the right hostel for you, however, the bar is separate from the actually dorms, so i had a nice sleep also.

24 hr reception, warm and friendly and really helpful staff. When my traveling partner, Anna, misplaced her womens rimless eyeglasses, they spent the time helping us look for them. We didn't find them at the Hostel Aphrodite's common downstairs rooms or in our bedroom and finally gave up. However, since the hostel has free Internet and a Wi-Fi hotspot available 24 hours, we went online and Anna placed an order at Eyeglasses.com in the US where she had originally bought them. The online site already had her most recent prescription so she was able to request that they install prescription lenses as well. When we arrived back in the states, her new eyeglasses were waiting in our mailbox. How convenient was that.

Really very good location from the train station. Few minutes walk to one of the musuem. Superb transport links from the hostel. There is certainly a paid walking tour which runs each day - definitely worth the money. Overall very good hostel.

"The location was just a 10 minute walk from the train station which takes you right to the main sites. And it was walking distance to the Archaeological Museum as well as restaurants, grocery stores and good bakeries! The free internet was a definite plus as was the lift. The staff was really helpful and friendly. The bus to Corfu was also very convenient. Overall, a pretty good place to stay in Athens."
Hostel Aphrodite is a good place to stay. Free internet, free shot of ouzo, nice people."
