Ioanna's Hellenic Hospitality

Glyfada, Athens

Boasting a shared lounge, terrace and views of sea, Ioanna's Hellenic Hospitality is set in Athens, 1.4 km from Asteras Beach.

Ioanna's accommodation lives up to its name of Greek hospitality to 100%. The apartment is a 20-minute-walk from a beautiful beach in Voula, called 'Athines by the Sea,' where you'll find all the amenities, including loungers, umbrellas, showers, a beach bar and a restaurant for €8.50 per day. Perfect for a lovely time at the beach! Ioanna is one of the kindest, most generous hosts you could wish for. :) The accommodation is very spacious and rooms have a sea view! My room had a beautiful, large luxurious bathroom included and the view was stunning, overlooking the sea, I could watch the large ships passing by to and from Port of Piraeus — simply amazing, especially at night! Ioanna's apartment is decorated with great attention to detail and creativity; you simply feel at home. She welcomes you with a warm smile upon arrival and for breakfast, if I asked in advance, she prepared eggs any style or pita with feta cheese for me! Yamee!! The fridge is full of fruits, drinks and yogurts, she'd prepared for guests. I always was concerned about the costs, asked how much it is to take e.g. a piece of watermelon, she always replied: 'Nothing, that's Greek hospitality'!!! How lovely! If you need a parasol, she has one ready for you. She is there with 100% attention! But, best of all, Ioanna is a very open-minded woman, who knows how to advise in every situation. I had very deep, but also very funny talks/conversations with her! Mostly, the deep-talks about life topics in general were very insightful for me. She simply adapts to any of the guests' various requests. She's just amazing! The week I stayed with Ioanna, I had my birthday and didn't want to celebrate alone, so I asked her to accompany me to a restaurant and she made it work! Many thanks, Ioanna! If you want to feel at home, choose Ioanna! She is the best!

Baloo Hostel is truly a gem in Athens! The whole place is designed with so much love and attention to detail – it feels both stylish and cozy at the same time. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel instantly at home; they’re not only incredibly helpful but also some of the kindest, loveliest people you’ll meet. The location is great for exploring Athens. At first glance, the neighborhood might seem a little rough around the edges, but I never once felt unsafe – in fact, it added to the authentic local vibe. What makes Baloo even more special is the great program and activities they offer, which make it so easy to meet people and feel part of a community. It’s the kind of hostel you arrive at as a traveler and leave as a friend. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Athens – you’ll feel welcomed, inspired, and right at home.

This is a hostel but it also rents private rooms; I always go for the latter. Private rooms have everything you need for a short stay in Athens, location is very central, and the price is exceptional value for money.

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.

    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!
