Athens Backpackers

Excellent location walking distance to the Plaka & Acropolis, comfortable AC for the summer. We stayed in a 4 person room which included an ensuite bathroom and balcony. We were hoping for a more social atmosphere. The downstairs lobby is small, and not that many people spend time there. We skipped the complimentary breakfast after the first day. The view from the rooftop balcony is spectacular, but requires traversing an exposed flight of stairs on the 6th floor. The hostel was not as nice as the online photos.

The privacy screens in the dorm were great, I also appreciated the light in the bunk.

Good location walking distance to major tourist attractions and restaurants Not much to complain about other than lockers require a certain bigger lock (I had 3 different types that didn’t lock properly) and loud guest which is not the fault of the property. Ear plugs are necessary

Great Location

Amazing location and friendly atmosphere. Great to meet people.

The location is good, the stuff are friendly. The door room of the toilet in a mixed bedroom was broken, couldn’t close it and taking a shower was terrible experience there. Plus the shower was dirty. I am suppose to have a towel but i haven’t. That was my worst hostel experience so far. The breakfast was normal, would’ve preferred to eat outside.

It’s really value for money. Location and cleanliness are great and the breakfast was really good The staff were not really cooperative and helpful

Location - 1 minute from Acropolis Metro station and 2 minutes from Acropolis entrance. Staff - very kind Breakfast - quite good Air conditioning Tiny room for 6 people.

El staff muy buena onda, buen desayuno, buena ubicación Te bañas y se sale el agua de la ducha, dejan algo para que limpies luego, las cortinas de las camas pueden ser mejor, la mía no calzaba con los sujetadores.. no había buena ventilación en la habitación, en verano se pone muy caliente

It was my first ever international and solo trip out of the U.S. and everyone was so welcoming. Im usually very introverted but they managed to pull me out of my shell and have fun in just 1 days time. Nothing it was absolutely fantastic I cant even think of how to improve it right now.

The location is great. The new bunk beds are outright dangerous: (1) The "ladder" to the upper bunk bed is a steel railing with nothing to hold onto to haul yourself onto the bunk bed. (2) The "ladder" consists round metal pipes that hurts your feet when you go up and down the stairs. Whoever designed these stupid bunk beds needs to be fired! I will never stay here again!

Very central location. Friendly, helpful, excellent staff. Excellent roof top terrace for chilling with amazing view of Acropolis.

Bathroom was quite outdated and had sewer smell that came into the room, AC didn’t work well at all

The location is amazing because it’s close to all the important parts of Athens. The building is secure, the rooms are air conditioned and beds are comfortable. Breakfast far surpassed what I expected. And the rooftop bar was a pleasant surprise! Best hostel I’ve probably ever stayed in. Wished it could have had bigger lockers in the rooms and locks people could borrow maybe. But the rooms each had their own room codes so if something went missing it wouldn’t be hard to figure out who..

Typical hostel, well kept, curtains on beds, bathrooms in rooms Very hot and it’s only spring, no a/c or fans, top bunk does not have handrail for ladder so it’s awkward and uncomfortable to climb to top bunk, hallways were very loud even on the third floor where you’d think there was less traffic, I heard people talking and yelling all night.

The location was the only good thing. For the price, the hostel has nothing to offer. The bed was really hard, and there was only one shower per room that flooded after every use. There was a fridge, but you could not access the kitchen early. I was leaving at 6 a.m. and couldn't access the kitchen to get the food I had bought for my trip. I left it there because the reception area was locked. The breakfast was nothing special, nor even Greek.

The rooftop bar had a nice view and good setup Nothing really comes to mind at the end of the day your staying at a hostel so you'll be just nitpicking but at the end off the day everything you need to enjoy your Athens experience is there.

Of course it's a hotel for backpackers but if the beds were a little larger it would be better.

Some noises in the middle of the night, but these are stupid and inconsiderate people, not hostel's fault.

I stayed here for a few late hours to catch the ferry to Santorini in the morning. It was straight to the point. A bed a
