The hostel offers a fantastic experience with its great location, safety, friendly staff, and great value. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city. * The hostel is in the heart of the city, just a 5-minute walk to the central part. It is surrounded by numerous shops and attractions, making it extremely convenient. The area around the hostel is very safe. There are plenty of parties and social gatherings in nearby cafes and bars, perfect for solo travelers looking to meet new people. * The hostel staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating. They assisted with an early check-in and provided necessary items on Sunday when most shops were closed. * The hostel is kept very clean and well-maintained. There are cozy common areas where you can relax and socialize with other guests. * There are individual shelves with card access for storing valuables like laptops and money. Overall, the hostel offers excellent amenities at an affordable price. Huge thanks to the staff!🤍

The vibe of the hostel is super cool and modern, yet it captures a retro charm that makes the atmosphere truly unique. The interiors are beautifully designed, and every little detail seems thoughtfully curated to create a cozy and welcoming environment. Everything in the hostel feels brand new and spotless! The rooms are spacious, with comfortable beds and personal storage spaces. The shared areas, including the kitchen and lounge, are well-equipped and perfect for socializing with fellow travelers. They also have excellent Wi-Fi, which was a huge plus for me. The staff were amazing – friendly, professional, and always ready to help. They gave me great tips for exploring Athens and went out of their way to ensure my stay was comfortable. The hostel is ideally located in a lively area close to major attractions, public transport, and plenty of cafes and restaurants.

Loved the gorgeous staff & generosity of many hours for breakfast and delicious greek yoghurt with native honey with endless Nutella! Stella at night reception was my highlight! She helped me sort out three travel changes and meals vouchers and trusted advice for best greek treat deliveries! Omonia region is Athena's crumbling disaster suburb, but the the kindness of Algerian & diaspora community shows you the biggest hearts from Africa to the Middle East all becoming new Europeans. The four bed dormitories are blissful with seasoned travellers from all over the world and all ages! You will learn Arabic, French, Berber, German and of course Greek! Wish every hotel had Stella welcoming us at check-in reception! ☀️🌸💐👑🩷

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!
