This is one of my favourite hostels! It’s a really nice, clean hostel that is SO central! I went as a female solo traveller and had the best time, and felt so safe!

This was one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. LOCATION: Very central location, easy to find, few steps from Monastiraki square and metro to the airport. Most of the sights are in walking distance, spot is perfect for exploring Athens. ROOM: I was in 8 bed dorm. It was spacious, clean, all beds with curtains for privacy, electric socket and small shelf. Under bed there was a huge locker so bring your padlock with you. TOILETS: They seemed new, lot of sinks and showers on each floor. Very clean and fresh every time I got there. COMMON AREAS: Very nice common area on ground floor, it's more like a cafe. Many tables and space to chill. I worked from there several days, it was never too loud or crowded (I even had online meetings and calls). Internet / wi-fi was fast. Differrent drink options at the bar, reasonable prices. STAFF: Best part of this place, Thomas, Ilouna and others I can't remember names were over the top. Always friendly, up for a talk and help you with anything, I even hanged out with them after work hours. Can't wait for some other opportunity to come again.

The hostel staff especially the reception staff, are friendly, talkative and helpful. The hostel is generally very clean. The area is mostly local and very fun. It's also great that you can find a bar, restaurant and coffee shop right outside the door. I definitely recommend it. I can say it's the best among the hostels I've stayed in. I'll come back and stay again. Thank you.

Because of the curtain beside the bed, it made me feel more private in the room.

It’s my favourite hostel in Athens, coming here for the second time and definitely will come again. Location is great! Close to metro, but at the same time in ore quiet neighborhood. It’s easy and convenient to get around the city. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Every bed has a curtain, which gives a perfect privacy, and all necessities, like a socket, bed lamp, and a storage box with a key locket on it. Big balcony, the fav part of the room. Great place to chill or have a morning coffee. Staff is absolutely amazing, very friendly and helpful! Every one of them, was a great pleasure to chat🤍

Excellent location, only a few minutes' walk to the Acropolis. The room is modern and cozy and has a small balcony. The hostel is on a side road, so it's quiet at night. The breakfast is very good. You can meet and chat with other travelers in the common room or the roof garden with a view of the Acropolis.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
