Pagration Youth Hostel

It was very clean. Despite the fact that facilities are not all shiny and new, I did not have any worries about hygiene in the hostel. There was no AC, but there were 3 electric fans in the room so we managed. Common area is not that comfortable or interesting to sit in. Also, access to common area and more importantly kitchen is closed from 11pm to 7am. You get clean sheets to put on your bed and you are asked to bring them back to the reception when you are checking out. You are asked for 10e deposit for the keys and, If on your last day you want to leave the room before 9am (reception opens at 9am), you are also advised and asked to return the keys (for the entrance of the hostel, room door and the locker) the night before. The guy at the reception had a way about him that to me looked like he strugled to hide the fact that guests are just interupting his day. Bathrooms are clean, but they are small, as other reviews said. I am 160 cm tall and I could not comfortably use the stall or the shower. All in all, in my opinion, this hostel really is geared to very young people, as the name of the hostel clearly indicates. Not suitable for ages 26 and up, in my personal opinion.

Very friendly staff! George was welcoming and chill to talk to. Good location, safe and close to some shops and bus stops. Rooms are good for a hostel, gets really hot tho even with the fans going but depends on the weather of course. Showers were quite small but able to do everything you need, hot water available.

Don’t expect anything super nice, but if you’re backpacking and just stopping here for a few nights, a bunk bed will definitely do the trick. I felt very welcomed and safe the whole time ? no AC ? there’s plenty of fans though so it wasn’t too big of a deal

The owners are sooooo friendly, nice and supportive! My flight to Athens landed at nearly 1 a.m, then he still accepted to stay awake until nearly 2:30 a.m to help me to check-in. The room space is good for travelers without lots of stuffs. The area is clean and has a lot of plants that makes it so cute. I think...I should say that I don't really hate it: no AC, just electrical fans. But I could not ask for more with less than 20EUR/night in Athens. And actually, Greece was not in affects of heatwave at that time, so I think that was the baseline of summer there, and the fans were still acceptable to assure that we can sleep.

Close to several bus stations. It’s crammed. Not enough space in the rooms with very tiny bathrooms and showers. It’s a business vibe.

This is my second stay at this hostel and when you go all you will hear from others is how it is the best hotel in all of Athens. The staff are so friendly, the people are amazing and you will surely have a good time. I'm so grateful to have found this place because I feel like I have a home away from home in Athens now :)

Staff and location Old model

Everything was nice. The location is good, close to the national park and about 35 minutes walk to the neighbourhoods like Plaka and Monastiraki. on your way to the historical sites like the Acropolis, you can visit the National Park, Panathenaic Stadium, and Hellenic Parliament! The staff are lovely, George is a super friendly and cool person and will help you with information regarding transportation, good restaurants and any other helps you may need. Terry is so kind and nice and you will enjoy talking with him. Bathrooms and showers were clean, the kitchen was clean and nice and a shared place for gathering with a TV to watch football! I loved it there and highly recommend it. The stairs might be a bit annoying for carrying heavy bags

Small shower

It is a budget place, but unfortunately, it is just not clean enough. The bathroom is in desperate need of a deep scrub, as there is visible grime around the sink and the toilet looks quite neglected. The room itself feels very basic and dated, with old metal bunk beds and sheets that don't feel entirely fresh. Also, the flimsy plastic folding doors on the toilet and shower offer absolutely no privacy or soundproofing. I know it only costs €17, but basic hygiene shouldn't be sacrificed for a low price.

I would put some hangers inside the shower cabins and maybe a water dispenser on the upper floors bc you always need to go to the kitchen to fill the bottles.

Awesome

ok

Very social

George is a great host, very attentive, very welcoming. Great places to be he recommended

Everyone was very friendly! George was amazing and very accommodating and helpful. I truly appreciated what he did for me during my time here. I loved the vibe from everyone and the hostel itself was awesome. Nothing!

The one member of staff who suggested I mingle with people.The staff f would just walk into a room unannounced. Walking around as if they own the place. The lack of privacy curtains, the old creaky beds

The facilities are very cozy, for the price it was really nice, from the vibe you can tell it’s a youth hostel. The staff was very polite, open and communicative, they would engage with us, they were always ready to help … as a solo female traveler I felt safe in the hostel, which is what mattered to me the most:)

Very friendly staff and guests, great location, and clean. Will come again if I ever in Athens ?

Very friendly staff always there to help. Location wise it's perfect as you have everything in a short walking distance, even a market that works 24/7. Very good option for budget traveling. Lack of outlets in the room, but overall there are a lot of outlets through the hostel.
