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.

Great location right by the metro. Kitchen is highly lacking, which was my main downside of the place. Only a microwave and a kettle.
