A hostel that feels more like a 5 star hotel. The room I stayed at had all the facilities and comfort needed for your stay in Athens. Comfortable 8 person shared room with good beds, 3 toilets and 2 showers in the same room! Big lockers for your storage that lock with your magnetic room card and the staff at the reception was very helpful 24/7 if I had any questions. The room had a balcony that was spacious with chairs and tables and even had plugs for your electronic device charging if you wish to enjoy sitting outside. Rooftop offers a view to Acropolis and the hostel itself is located in a perfect location in the coty centre, short way to the metro, shops and restaurants. If I ever go back to Athens again, I will definetely choose to stay at Mosaikon Glostel again!

All hostels 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.

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!
