Athens Backpackers Reviews

Loved everything about this place! The rooms were spotless and had small kitchens in them so you could cook. The staff were very friendly and helpful and were never too busy to take the time to answer questions. The sports bar underneath is a great place to meet people and the Bar manager was fantastic. The owner is often around and he is also a great guy who ended up having a drink with us just to get some of our feedback. Would, without a doubt, stay again.

I originally booked for 3 nights, but has so far ended up staying 7. Athens Backpackers is a great hostel, with wonderful staff and an amazing location, I'll go back next time I'm in Athens for sure! Great value for your moneys, and it has been a great experience!

great location and the best fish burger i have ever had

The hostel was amazing, we had a blast and ended up staying 5 nights rather than 2. Walter at reception is a champion and helped us with tours, and places to go and everzthing else in between! The bar had a really cool atmosphere and met lots of great people to bartender was awesome! Would reccomend anyone to go there, no matter if your a backpacker or not!!! Thanks Nick for bringing a piece of home to Greece for us, it was a delite!!!

Great Hostel with an Excellent Location. The sports bar is great and drink prices very reasonable as they are everywhere in Greece! The guided tour was excellent, the tour guide was very good and had excellent knowledge.

Vey close to Acropolis (5 mins walking), many restaurants, coffee shops, Plaka, Zyqma, museums, etc. Clean, well-equipped, secured, friendly staffs (except staffs from the bar and fish cafe, kinda aggressive and impolite). Recommend!

They send to a different adress once I arrived. Even if the new place was ok, and not far away, I didn't like this last-minute change. The location is more than perfect and the room was ok.

Nice place good location close to the metro

The hostel was really very good but the atmosphere was only good because of the time of year I think. Given it was the middle of winter, not exactly party time, the other guests were great and the hostel staff were really lovely and friendly and helpful. Particularly the karaoke night host who's name I can't seem to remember at the moment! It was a great hostel, just a little on the quiet side, but that's in the middle of December so perfectly understandable. Thanks for a great atmosphere!

Good value for money, excelent location, wifi in rooms, lockers (one can fit there quite a big on-board luggage). Breakfast included (tee/coffee + bread, butter, jam, boiled eggs, thats it), but would benefit at least a small upgrade.

Staff were really kind.It was a nice location and nice kitchen for me.

This hostel is awesome and the staff at all their locations are friendly, friendly, friendly

Since it was a off-season stay, there was little activity, also in the hostel. Few people means low comfortness. But everything els was excellent or very good!

Excellent location near acropoli. Staff were friendly and comfortable beds. Toilets were not clean on one night though, but they improved 2nd night. Breakfast was only toasts and egg. Overall value for money.

Loved the location and the staff was amazing! One member actually helped me avoid a sticky situation with a scam artist. He walked all the way to the Zeus monument to tell me to avoid that individual. Thanks!

Took a weekend trip to Athens and found this hostel online. As soon as you walked in to check in, you had a positive atmosphere. The staff was GREAT (especially the Australian women during the day). Our room was very nice, only negative was that the bathroom was rather small...like you sit down to go to the bathroom and your feet are in the shower small. Breakfast was simple, but for free you couldn't really complain. The hostel had great recommendations for places to go, nightlife and food.
