Excellent location, close to the underground station, bars and restaurants. All the reception staff were extremely kind and always willing to help. The rooms were very comfortable, honestly, it’s the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. I would definitely come back.

The whole stay was just great!! The apartment is big, clean and very nicely furnished and there are lots of snacks in the kitchen. The best part was Mrs Ioanna though, I have seldom had such a friendly and genuinly caring host! You can tell she really enjoys having guests and loves to help and get involved in whatever way she can! I was travelling alone so spending some time with her in the mornings and evenings became one of the highlights of my trip and I felt very comfortable and safe for the whole stay! She happily helped with food, advice on places to go, ways to travel etc and was just generally available for company and support. She also taught me the greek alphabet and made sure I Iearned some of the greek mythology. I felt very appreciated and taken care of, she is such a generous and loving person who goes above and beyond, I would definately go back!! :)

Its a beautiful boutique hostel with personality, away from standard 'cold' chain hostels. Each corner was decorated and designed with love, and it's nice to hear about the birth of this hostel by his owners. Incredible variety of tea for breakfast:) (coffee also available). The patio and the bar outside: an excellent meeting point to socialize with other guests. Big rooms, comfy beds with curtains for privacy and storage space under the bed for luggage and clean Bathrooms. Location near the metro station Omonia.

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!
