Nubian Hostel Athens

The hostel was nice sadly I ended up sleeping in a bed full of bedbugs but they switched me beds and everything was good from there. I suggest checking your bed before sleeping in them since they do not have mattress covers.

My one issue with this hostel - bugs. Bedbugs or spiders, I'm not sure, but some insect seemed to be living in my bed. I was completely covered in bites. I complained about this a few times to hostel staff, who tried to clean the room and change the sheets, but it didn't help. I'm not sure what else could have been done, and it was an unfortunate experience. Yet, this is a great hostel. It's perfect for people who have been to Athens before and are keen to explore more of the city than just the center. Free

I stayed here for a school trip in May. Our first night there, bed bugs were crawling on me in the middle of the night. I did not sleep at all. They did nothing when brought to their attention. Unfortunately at the end of the trip, my group had to come back here. They claimed they had cleaned everything. I thought everything as fine until our 3rd day back and I began extremely itchy and was having horrible allergic reactions. It turned out that the bed bugs were not gone, and I had more than 30 bites all over my body that continued popping up for days after I came home. I was not the only one in my group that experienced this either. We were scattered throughout the hostel both times we encountered them. The customer service was awful, and clearly nothing was done as there were several days in between our stays. This hostel is also in a gross, run down part of down that is a long walk to the city center. The showers are so small you barely fit, regardless of how little you are, and the garbage in the commons was always over flowing. Do yourself a favor, avoid the bedbugs, and stay elsewhere!

Bedbugs in multiple beds. Avoid.

Stayed two nights here. After the first night found bed bugs (summer of 2023). My bunk mate saw them as she was going to bed but didn't wake me so I didn't find out until the morning. I had to beg the people at the front desk to wash my clothes and belongings in case of bed bugs, which in my opinion should be a given. Didn't get any reimbursement for the first night, which I know they do at some other hostels. Moved me to a different room the second night. Facilities weren't super clean, but happy hour was
