The location is very central - close to everything with plenty of nice cafes and restaurants nearby. The hostel is very very clean. It is a very small hostel feels almost like a B&B in comparison to hostels abroad. It has a lovely vibe about it. Facilities are all new and modern. The staff at the hostel are so kind and friendly. I had such good chats with Anastasia (I'm definitely not spelling this correctly and I apologize). He was so welcoming throughout my stay here and helpful with all my queries. Even on my last day here himself and his other coworker helped me out so much with superglueing my suitcase back together and then when i got superglue all over my hands helped me remove it lol. The beds are extremely comfy and clean which is a priority. They are actually v big for single beds. Kitchen facilities are brilliant. Lovely hostel, lovely energy here and honestly a 10/10 experience being here. I couldn't recommend enough and I will be back!

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.

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!
