Germany FEMALE 31-40 Sep 20, 2025 2.0/10

I booked a 4 room female dorm, thinking there would be a bed with courtons for more privacy. The First room i got, was a two bed bedroom with the Single beds, the beds very close to each other, which was very uncomfortble with a stranger. The second room did have a locker in between the beds. All in all the rooms were in bad shape, especially the bathrooms. The one very nice thing oder this Hostel is the rooftop bar.

Pros: comfy beds, clean bathrooms, really quiet for sleeping. We had a balcony from our private room with a view of the Acropolis. Location was fairly central. They held events most nights, which was great to meet people. Cons: we were looking forward to the mixology event, got told to wait by the bar, 30 mins later asked if it was happening and it got cancelled. Bar was an open bar meaning there were random old men there which killed the vibe a bit.

Tuve una experiencia muy extraña en el alojamiento, todo estaba muy bien: la ubicación, las instalaciones, los cuartos; sin embargo, un día antes de que terminara mi estancia uno de los trabajadores entró a mi habitación sin previo aviso. Eran como la 1 pm, usó su tarjeta y entró super rápido a mi habitación, ni siquiera tocó para preguntar si había alguien en el cuarto y lo peor: se quedó ahi un buen rato supuestamente supervisando si sobraba una cama. Yo viajo sola por lo que fue d...

Translated to English

I had a very strange experience at the accommodation, everything was fine: the location, the facilities, the rooms; however, one day before I finished my stay one of the workers entered my room without warning. it was about 1 pm, he used his card and came super fast into my room, he didn't even touch to ask if there was anyone in the room and worst of all: he stayed there for a while supposedly supervising if there was a bed left over. I travel alone so it was unpleasant

its the first im writing review at all and its not even about the location. its just about the service and the i dont give a damn attitude. i ve forgot some clothes at the locker because i had to change my room urgently. i told them where it is. i told them to ask the person who is there now. they just didnt do anything. they were like we cant do anything, the housekeeping found nothing. thats it.

The location is not good, it's far away from all turistic spots and the neighborhood looks dangerous and ugly There was a water leak in the bathroom everything we would take a shower

Pretty mediocre hostel. Staff wasn't super helpful with planning. Bathrooms were out of paper towel and not regularly cleaned enough. Sadly they I laid a t-shirt on top of the clothes hanger and sticky residue got on it from the hanger and ruined the shirt. Would probably stay somewhere else and then come out to the rooftop bar

The hostel is a few blocks from a nice area but is actually in a sketchy area. They had a lot of facilities for remote workers like conference rooms and work space and even a gym, but they closed them all at 11:00 pm which affects people doing work in other time zones. The WiFi was great but there was no laundry which is strange. The rooftop was nice. The place didn’t have the friendliest vibe though it might be due to its large size

Location is great to explore the main area of Athens as well as others Exarcheia ; and the rooftop is indeed amazing. The private rooms are very simple, not so many equipments ; and if you don’t get a private bathrooms there’s only two toilets/bathrooms on the floor so that’s not much, plus it could be cleaned more often.

Great hostel, just be aware there’s lots of street noise so if you’re sensitive to that maybe bring earplugs.

Loved staying here! It’s in such a good location and had activities every night. The roof top is such a vibe and it’s easy to meet people. I wish they had a place to do laundry but no biggie! I would definitely return.

Best rooftop view in the city. Great value, get the breakfast included it's definitely worth it. The clientele here is so open and friendly, you will definitely make acquaintances here and have plans each night with people from all over the world. The staff is very fun and friendly, they're happy to help with anything. Don't stay anywhere else--this is the place to be!

I’ve stayed here twice already and really love it! The beds are comfortable, the rooms are clean, and the staff are friendly and helpful. My first room on the 8th floor had a great view and ensuite bathroom, though it was a bit noisy at night because of the rooftop bar above. My second stay on the first floor was less ideal since the AC didn’t work and the shared bathrooms were often dirty and out of paper. Still, the breakfast and fun activities made up for it.

One of the best places I’ve stayed so far. The hostel had an amazing view of the Acropolis, and the atmosphere was great. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, while the facilities were modern, clean, and very organized. It honestly felt closer to a luxury hotel than a hostel. I especially loved the rooftop bar and restaurant. The staff were also very accommodating and helpful throughout my stay. Overall, I had an excellent experience and highly recommend it.

One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in. Newly renovated and super clean, staff were friendly and helpful, and the rooftop is an amazing hangout spot, with lots of people not staying in the hostel coming to hang at the rooftop as well. Very social place and located well in central Athens

This has to be no doubt the best hostel I’ve stayed in! Not only did they upgrade me for free, but it was super clean, updated, modern, checked all the boxes. I loved all the events that they did and the rooftop bar was amazing! The only small thing about this hostel is that it is right next to a lot of construction, that was often very loud in the morning, but they can’t control that. All in All, you must stay here when visiting Athens!!!

This hostel was incredible. It’s very social and has a great mix of people. There are lots of common spaces to chill if you’re looking for some time alone and the facilities are outstanding. I did feel unsafe at times walking to/from the hostel as the area felt a bit sketchy. I would not recommend walking here alone at night if you are coming from Omonia station or nearby area. If you need to get to/from the train station alone at night I’d recommend taking a taxi

Let me start by saying this was one of the best hostels I stayed in, great social vibe and very nice and helpful staff. The rooftop bar is a very nice extra. The only gripe I had is the location, which is kind of near Omonia square (a sketchy part of town) but the social aspect and closeness to the city center mostly overrides it.
