Best hostel I’ve ever stayed at. Such comfortable beds, really private bunks with plenty of space and super sturdy so you don’t feel anything from above or below. Big, clean bathroom with separate shower and toilet to the main basin area which makes sharing so much easier. Really central location, staff so friendly and welcoming and helpful. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if I’m ever back in Athens.

The place is newly built and the beds are very comfortable with fully covering curtains so you will the needed privacy , the rooms were clean , bathrooms and showers the same . The best thing is that they provide the towels and showers have shampoos so you don’t need to rent towels or buy shampoos during your stay . The kitchen area is very social and well equipped . Totally recommend this place specially if you know your way around Omonia .

We booked a private twin room. It was very spacious and clean, and even had a balcony. In the hostel itself it had a lovely common space, that has a nice bar. The best thing about the place was the view from the rooftop bar. The bar on the rooftop was closed as it is winter but was still able to go up and enjoy the view. I went to several rooftop bars in Athens and the view from the hostel was my favourite.

All hostels in Athens

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.

    Great staff. Great service. Good value for money. Great location. Quiet. Great lockers (however it could be cheaper (it's free in some of the hostels), but I would say that yours is very safe with the PIN code). Great rooftop. The beds are comfortable.

    Best hostel I’ve stayed exactly like pictures, close metro station that goes direct to airport, close to many historical sites including Acropolis and different Agora. Dormitory has private bathroom and they are all very clean. Bedding is comfortable. Strong air conditioning. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly, would definitely stay again if back at Athens.

    The hostel provides a cheap place to sleep in a convenient location in the centre of Athens. The facilities are fairly clean and the staff are fairly helpful. There are washing and left luggage facilities. The Omonia area is not as threatening as some people would have you believe and the immediate vicinity of the hostel felt safe.

    Cozy hostel, friendly staff. Great way to travel on a budget and meet new people. Plenty of common areas, and that perfect view from the terrace - definitely worth a stay. Bed was comfy. Bathrooms nice and clean. Such a lovely cleaning lady attended every morning. Great location too - just 5 minutes walk from one of the 3 surrounding metro stations. Plenty of large and small corner shops, coffee and food places around the area. Would stay again without thinking twice. Thanks for a pleasant experience!
