I stayed at 8-female dorm room and the room has 2 bathrooms, 2 toilets, large area that we can walk, dress and get ready. The wardrobes are also big and enough to fit for your even luggage. The rooftop bar was so lovely! The cocktails were amazing!! And the view… You can enjoy Acropolis only by sitting in your hostel! Also, the kitchen had everything I need to! I used it freely and comfortablely!

I stayed at this hostel for 4 days and had a great experience. The location is perfect—very close to the metro and within walking distance of major attractions, which made exploring the city super easy. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, always ready to answer questions or give recommendations. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, and I’d definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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!
