About

A boutique hostel, uniquely balanced between two epochs both in terms of location and style. A newly renovated listed building that combines classic with modern, comfort and quality, privacy and socialisation; located between the two historical districts of Athens- alternative Exarchia and aristocratic Kolonaki, walking distance from all sightseeing and the central market, but still not purely touristic, giving guests the chance to live like locals.
Sunny high-ceiling dormitories of either 4, 6 or 8 people capacity, with shared bathrooms on all floors, a common sitting area, a fully equipped shared kitchen as well as an internal private yard, ideal for gatherings.
-The dormitories are equipped with AC, custom made wooden bunk beds, linen included, wall hangers and a mirror.
-Each bed comes with a bedside shelf, power socket (220V), reading light, assigned locker for valuables storage (you need a padlock).
-Bathrooms and showers are shared on the floor, separated by gender/ hairdryer and iron provided for free upon request, while towels are offered for rental.
-For those who book the bed & breakfast rate, please note breakfast consists on assorted pancakes and coffees, and it's on an all you can eat basis.

Summary of traveller reviews

When in Athens Hostel offers a fantastic stay with exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Guests consistently praise the immaculate cleanliness and comfortable beds. The location is highly regarded, situated in a vibrant area with plenty of bars and restaurants, though it's a pleasant walk to the main attractions. It's particularly well-suited for solo travellers and those seeking a safe, clean, and welcoming environment.

Staff was welcoming, and the bed was comfortable and clean. The train was about a 10-minute walk away, and there was a lot to do around. I definitely felt safe and would stay here again.
