Excellent hostel, the best one I stayed at during my entire Europe trip! The cleanest facilities I have seen at any hostel; and the space is simply beautiful and respectful of all kinds of travellers. The hostel is right in the heart of the city and so convenient to get to everything from this spot. Also - super safe for single female travellers even late at night, as the streets are always full of life wayy past midnight (even on weekdays!). The entire team running the hostel is amazing and tireless in their efforts to ensure everyone is looked after and has a good time. No wonder it is difficult to easily find available bookings here, seems a lot of us have had the same positive experience. I am definitely visiting again. Thanks Thomas, Spira, Stephanie and the rest of the team :)

This was my first hostel experience, and I am very pleased by it. Very, very sweet and helpful people, making sure I have everything I need. Extremely clean rooms and washrooms. If you forget something- they have it available at really cheap. Contrary to belief, thee area is lively, and the safety remains paramount. No random person can enter the hostel, unless escorted by a member. Nice little area at the back with cool breeze. The hostel also tries to promote social gatherings, which is much appreciated. Was nice to meet some really nice people, and make new friends. Fat wifi, equipped kitchen, everyday cleaning, truly wonderful. I thought I forgot something in the hostel, and I had to bother them again, but they were very kind and sweet to entertain me even after my checkout and assist me wherever they can! Very thankful experience, and I do hope to come back again soon! Thankyou!

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!
