Excellent hostel, highly recommended. It was clean, room temperature was perfect even though it was really hot outside. There was privacy in the dorm because of the curtain in the bunk bed. I also loved the breakfast. Waffles, fruits etc and really good coffee. Thank you!

I loved the view. People were great, always helpful. The kitchen was nice, everything was clean. I really liked the style of this hostel, it was really beautiful. There was trezor in the locker, I really liked that. The location was good, not long from the city centre, but the streets looked sketchy at night.

I arrived early and checked in before 2pm because the bed was already ready. The bed was just right and comfy with clean bed sheets. Even though there were many ppl in the same room i could still have some privacy with the little curtain. The location was also very close to the metro station, very convenient!

Bedbox is super place for solo or couples. Quite and very central, it has everything one needs for a short or a long stay in Athens. Strong Wifi and very friendly staff, especially Sophia who is not only friendly and attentive, but super helpful too. Just like the rest of the hostel staff I' ve come across during my 4 day stay there. I'll definitely come back here, as Athens is always magically in Autumn.

Fantastic location, close to several interesting spots in Athens, like the Acropolis, Plaka, Syntagma Square, and more. The metro is just around the corner. The place is very clean, with ensuite bathrooms and pods in the dormitories, which provide a lot of privacy. Breakfast is surprisingly abundant for a hostel and a really nice touch. The Wi-Fi is excellent; I never had any problems. The staff is both friendly and professional. I've already recommended this place to some friends who are traveling to Greece, and I’ll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Athens.

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!
