The rooms are clean and the common area is cozy and has nice varied seating to relax in. The staff is really friendly and helps with questions about the city, and in my case, car rental. The neighbouring/partner café that is directly (internally) connected to the hostel has an amazing food menu for a reasonable price, this provides way better dishes than the common "bread, spread, fruit and yoghurt" options you see in many places. Shower and toilets are located in the hallway where the dorms are. This means you won't wake up your roommates (or be waken up by them) in the morning or evening when they shower, but you will have to leave your room for a few seconds to reach (I personally appreciate this setup).

All hostels in Athens

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!
