I stayed three nights at the Thess Hostel.  The entrance is colorful, and easy to spot on Agion Panton street.  The hostel is in a good location for travelers: near the train station and the bus depot.  It is a couple of km from central Thessaloniki and the harbor, but there are several buses available on Monasteriou, a nearby main street.  The family that runs the hostel are helpful, and speak excellent English.  My room had twin beds, a wardrobe, flat-screen TV, air-conditioner, small desk and chair. The WiFi signal was strong.  A small balcony looked out over other buildings, and was useful for drying clothing/towels.  The bathroom (shared) was tiled with large sink, bathtub/shower and toilet.  There was also a shared kitchenette, with small refridge, hot plate, sink, a few pots, pans, plates and cutlery.  Everything was clean.  Although breakfast was not included, there was a local bakery a few doors along Agion Panton street which was open 24 hours and had superb bougatsas (a filled flaky pastry), crepes and other freshly-baked pastries.  There was some noise from occasional trains, but the streets and trains quieted down at night.  My bed was comfortable.  The Salonica Mall (large multi-floor, lots of shops and large grocery store) was 750m to the west, an easy walk.  The lobby of Thess Hostel had hot coffee/tea and cold drinking water available when it was open (most of the day).  Bikes were available for rent.  I thought it offered very good value for the price of a room.

Good location near train station, helpful staff

We really liked the hostel and the room we where sleeping in . It was super super warm there , we needed to turn down the heater .
What you need to know is, that the WiFi is not working that good, most of the time we where using mobile data.

And what u also need to consider is that most of the ppl not just in the hostel, also in the apartment next to it, where super loud . 

If you need to use the bus to the airport, make sure figure out how to get there , the ladies in the hostel don’t know which bus station it is exactly. That’s why we ended up taking a taxi .

And there is a cat, she actually owns this place . She is everywhere. But she is really funny 😅

Good hostel with noisy neighbors 

This hostel is extremely ghetto.  Inside it looks like you are in the ghetto, and is very dimly lit, and makes you feel like maybe you are not in a safe place.  There is no heat and it gets very cold inside, extremely cold at night.  The kitchen facilities are not fully equipped as they say they are.  I even emailed ahead to ask if they had certain things in the kitchen and they said yes, but when I arrived they did not.  I had to go out and buy the extra kitchenware myself.  The showers do not always have hot water.  Only a couple of the days did it have hot water.  A couple of the days the water was too cold to shower at all.  A couple of the other days it was warm enough to shower but not very comfortably.  And the internet is very spotty and doesn't always work, which can really cause you trouble if you need to use it, especially for work like me.  And the place isn't even cheap either, you are paying more than you should for such accomodations.  The only good thing is that the female staff are very friendly and try to be accomodating, but there is only so much they can do to be accomodating when the accomodations are simply so poor.  And the male staff member doesn't even try to be accomodating and obviously doesn't care about his job or the customers.  In the end this was one of the worst hostels I have ever stayed at, and made for a very depressing stay in greece.

Extremely Ghetto

Thess Hostel is exactly what we needed after a long drive. Two friends and I shared a three bed apartment with kitchen and bathroom.

Pros:
Welcoming staff
Clean rooms
Comfy beds with clean sheets
Toiletries and towels provided
25 min walk into the centre
The price

Cons:
Situated on a loud road (bring earplugs)
Old aircon can be noisy (bring earplugs)


Great for the price!

Only stayed here for one night, we had a double room facing the front and we were kept awake for more of the night from noise from the traffic. It is however well located for the train station which we needed and really clean with helpful staff.

Really noisy but a good location

Excellent location, Friendly staff

Room toilet runs continuously after flush.  Housekeeper took my shampoo one day, my soap the next day, though I was not through using them and she did not replace.

WiFi just okay, slows to a crawl at times.  Laptop could connect from my room, and tablet could only connect near ground floor reception.  Sometimes one of Thess Hostel’s 2 transmitters would disappear and remaining one was nearly useless to 2nd floor room; 90% of websites could not open.  No WiFi to room 2 consecutive mornings.

Thess advertised ‘lockers available’, but in fact there are none, but supposedly a locker behind reception desk.  Lockers should be added, or the designation ‘available lockers’ should be removed from list of amenities.
