Summary of traveller reviews

Athens Backpackers in Athens offers a fantastic location, putting you right by the Acropolis and metro. Guests praise the clean rooms, friendly staff, and the great rooftop bar with amazing views. Some mention the beds could be more comfortable and the rooms a bit small, but overall it's a highly recommended spot for travellers.

Very easy to access, pleasant hostel with good clean friendly environment and pleasant staff. I stayed as a solo traveler and felt comfortable immediately once i arrived. 24hr Desk meant i could check in when my ferry landed in the middle of the night, and there was a nice simple but fresh breakfast assortment included in the morning.

Really great stay, staff were really friendly, rooms were clean, comfortable and flexible to be either be social or more private when wanted. Only downside was the rooftop being closed due to renovations however completely understandable as these things need to be done sometimes.
