City Circus Athens Reviews

My favorite of 3 Athens hostels I've stayed in. Nice common area for meeting people. Very comfortable bed. Well located for transit and foot explorations. Nice breakfast with fruit and yogurt. Clean and functioning facilities. Big lockers. Helpful staff. Amusing decor. The only thing they don't have is an acropolis view. I'm missing Athens now.

A great place to stay, very comfortable and clean rooms! Felt very safe, very helpful friendly staff! I can't wat to come stay again

Rooms and bathrooms were spotless. The staff are great, they spent a long time looking up options for my next destination without me even asking. The walking tour they recommend is truly excellent. The breakfast is incredible; really nice ingredients rather than just the cheapest options. Roof terrace has a nice view of Acropolis.

Couldn't be better! Strategically near a subway station and train station, really clean, modern inside including elevator and electronic locks, staff speak clear english and they like to help.

This was the first place we stayed on a five week trip and it stands out as one of the best. Comfortable beds, great (filling!) Greek breakfast and an amazing and helpful staff. They also held our bags for a few days while we traveled elsewhere. We've been telling others about them on our travels - and would definitely stay again!

Great staff. Good breakfast. Private room was first rate.

Compared to other Athenian hostels, this one is the newest and the best! Stayed in 6-bed mixed dorm with 2 others. High points: Relaxing and colorful common room, welcoming staff, great breakfast, rooftop view of Acropolis, centrally located, good value for money. Low points: No tissue paper next to the bathroom sinks (yes, this is important!), the 6-bed mixed room can get crammed (and smelly!) when full, must be cautious in the surrounding streets late at night, the toilet pipes are smelly.

The hostel is very nice!!! Near the travel points in Athens. My room would be a little bit small and noise as some car noise during night as my room was near the road.

To call this place a "hostel" just feels crude; it feels like much more than that. The decor is very modern and fresh. The breakfast is awesome and includes homemade jams and homegrown olives among other items. The staff also offer home cooked dinners and snacks every night for 6 euro! The staff are all very friendly and have recommendations and tips for anything you need or have questions about.

Hostel is good located near Monastariki square, is beautiful and runned by its owners who were super helpful and took care of us all the time. Also they have a great breakfast with homemade stuff, greek yogurt, etc. We loved it there, definitelly recommended!!

Really good hostel! The hostelstaff were always helpful with anything that i needed it! Good shower and the instalations were perfect clean! And it's near all the sightseens in athens!

One of the best hostels I've ever stayed. The breakfast is so good!

Beautiful hostel with extremely helpful and accommodating staff. The hostel is very new and the facilities there are all very high quality. The bedding, furniture, down to bathroom fixtures are premium. Our first night we stayed in the sub street level bedroom, it was nicely appointed, but i had problems with my asthma. As we were not aware at the time of booking of the basement location, the staff there promptly moved us to another private room without extra charge. Will definitely recommend!

The staff is incredibly helpful. The most comfortable bed I've ever had in a hostel. Clean sheets and bathrooms. Delicious breakfast. Quiet and comfortable atmosphere.

One of the best hostels i ever stayed. The one thing that i didn't like and was quite shocked is when i left hostel (you leave some deposit for your key as normal) i didn't get any money direct and had to ask about them. But the asnwer was if i'm sure that i gave some deposit. I was like:"What? Is it even possible to not? And do i look like one who can lie about some 10 euro?" I get my deposit back but it defitely damage my impression about really good hostel.

This was a fantastic hostel. Will not find a cleaner hostel in Athens and for sure not a more comfortable bed. Feels like sleeping on feathers! Location is actually amazing, but if you take a wrong turn, not too far is a not so nice neighborhood, but don't feel a problem as is fantastic for everything. Could not find better staff and if I could rate them higher on this, I would. Was not the lively hostel I was looking for at first to meet people, but was happening for New Years! Got to stay here

Great place they have done a really great job of this hostel

Good location, clean room, nice staff. This hostel has everything I need!

City Circus is probably the best hostel I've stayed in Europe. It definitely feels more like a hotel than a hostel, but a great place to meet other travelers nevertheless. Rooms and bathrooms are cleaned daily. The free breakfast provided is amazing as well. You're 10 minutes away from the city center and a walking distance from all the main attractions. Would definitely stay again.
