Bedbox Hostel

The place is perfect with just walking distance of less than 10mins you’ll get to Monastiraki station also the area, or Omonia station. Nearby are all restaurants and shops, there’s one supermarket just next to the corner where you can get 1l mineral water for just under 1€, the receptionist told me tap water is free to drink but I just prefer bottled water. There’re two small balconies on level 6&7 that you’d be able to get a good area view but not the Acropolis cause it’s been blocked by other buildings. They don’t provide free towel or slippers, no shampoos either in the bathroom. There’s locker in the room offered for each of us with lock. Bathrooms considered clean but a bit tight and no space to put your clothes towel or toiletries, there’s a place to hook inside but the hook got wayy high up definitely not for someone short like me (160cm) and there’s also one hook outside of the bathroom, slight inconvenient there. Water pressure is strong and there’s hot water.

I was unfortunately woken up multiple times during the night—around 2am, 4am, and 6am—by the loud slamming of doors, followed by a long struggle to fall back asleep due to someone snoring heavily in the next bed. I understand that hostels are budget-friendly and I don’t want to complain too much, but for a place meant to provide guests with rest, I really don’t understand why both the room door and the shared bathroom door (just across the corridor) are designed to close with such loud noise. If your bed happens to be near the door, you’ll need an exceptionally good sleep tolerance. The bathroom and shower area were also quite cramped, and the sink wasn’t very clean. Plus, the elevator looked a bit unsettling and made me hesitate every time I used it.
