Athens Backpackers says

Creo que donde nos encontramos y quiénes somos es lo que nos hace un albergue único. Viajar es para conocer gente, por eso hemos diseñado este lugar y todas las actividades para que puedas hacer precisamente eso. Nuestro Skybar tiene una vista de 360 grados sobre la Acrópolis, tan cerca que casi se puede tocar. Al lado está el Fish Café, con las mejores comidas de Atenas por menos de 8 euros. Nuestra calle tiene también una lavandería y dos bares... ¡y además hay unos preciosos naranjos bordeando la calle! El olor a azahar es increíble. Nuestros huéspedes están constantemente hablando maravillas sobre nuestro Sky Bar, ya que tiene cervezas baratas súper frías y cócteles, ¡además de que puedes conocer a mucha gente nueva! Atendemos a cualquier tipo de persona porque consideramos que todo el mundo tiene algo único que aportar. Tanto quienes viajan solos y quieren conocer gente, como familias que desean privacidad y comodidades. También disponemos de ascensores en todos los edificios y botones de llamada de emergencia en los baños.
