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.

The Hostel was amazing. Great location, awesome people, and the rooftop bar was a great spot to start the night meeting visitors and locals. Only weird thing was washing your own dishes after breakfast felt a little un sanitary and it was a little warm in the rooms.

Great hostel in a very central location. Lovely rooftop bar. Our beds were comfy and private. The lockers were too small for our bags and the bathroom had an automatic light and fan which was very loud and couldnโ€™t be avoided when people were using the bathroom in the middle of the night. Curtains had a gap at the bottom which also let a lot of light in as the rooms got very bright in the morning. Overall really good stay and great hostel!

Solid stay here! The AC wasnโ€™t working on my first day which was alarming but thankfully started working by the time I was going to bed. The location of this hostel is unmatched in my opinion! Safe area but extremely close to the places you want to see in Athens. Also so close to the metro station which makes it a no brainer to take the metro to and from the airport!! The staff are not exceptionally friendly but warm enough that the place felt somewhat welcoming. The beds were just okay!

And a downstairs lobby bar and co working space with a meze eatery called 'The Local' serving local food and drinks all day and night. All rooms, bars and spaces at the property have 200MBPS hi-speed WiFi. All shared rooms have PODS with individual lights and charging stations. We have completely contactless check in/out and our door locks are covid proof and operated by your smart phone."
