The location is perfect. It's close to all the touristic stuff, yet somehow, in a quiet street. It has a rooftop with a cool view. The hostel is modern, and the beds have individual lights and sockets, and also a shade/curtain that gives you more privacy. It's also very close to the subway line that goes directly to the airport.

I liked bunk beds, that they give your own space. Also it was super clean, loved the balcony. Also, it was close to everywhere. Staff super helpful and nice. In the morning one of the receptionists helped me also with getting a taxi to Sintagma square and only because of that I arrived just on time for night bus. Also, great idea to give free tea/wine for newcommers :). Thanks, guys, I would certainly go back and recommend it for others :).

I liked that everything was clean, modern and well looked after, it brought an ideal atmosphere to a stay in Athens. An especially good addition was the organisation of the "Athens drunk tour" which was the absolute highlight of the stay. I would come back anytime when I want to stay in a Hostel in Athens.

Loved the gorgeous staff & generosity of many hours for breakfast and delicious greek yoghurt with native honey with endless Nutella! Stella at night reception was my highlight! She helped me sort out three travel changes and meals vouchers and trusted advice for best greek treat deliveries! Omonia region is Athena's crumbling disaster suburb, but the the kindness of Algerian & diaspora community shows you the biggest hearts from Africa to the Middle East all becoming new Europeans. The four bed dormitories are blissful with seasoned travellers from all over the world and all ages! You will learn Arabic, French, Berber, German and of course Greek! Wish every hotel had Stella welcoming us at check-in reception! ☀️🌸💐👑🩷

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!
