We stayed in Athens for 3 nights. Since we only booked one night in advance, we had to bounce around in the hostel/studios each night, but this enabled us to get a feel for the difference between "Athens Backpackers" and "Athens Studios". First of all, the service has been wonderful throughout. The Aussie hosts are friendly and helpful (they know... more

Stayed there for 2 nights. Rooms are OK, basically there's nothing in there, just beds and a wardrobe. If you want to turn on/off A/C you'll have to go downstairs and ask a guy at reception to do it. Also you're not lucky if you're bed is right under A/C, cause it's impossible to sleep there if it's on. Bathroom... more

This hostel is on a pleasant little sidestreet in the center of athens, 100 yards to the top of the road and 'WHAM' The world famous Acropolis is sitting right in front of you. You're right next door to the metro station so the location of the cool little hostel is unrivalled. 10 min walk to the main square... but... more

Myself and five other friends stayed at Athens Backpackers as it had been recommended via the 'aussie grapevine.' Each of us have travelled exstensively so we feel that we are objective with our review. There is only a small common room, pokey internet space and an unusable communal kitchen. Likewise it is without a public phone and sells itself as... more

Athens Backpackers is a busy hostel but well run. It can be noisy and it is the place to go if you are after the party. It is well located and the best place to start your trip in Greece more

I had the time of my life at this hostel. Met some of the most amazing people -staff and other travellers. I wish I could have stayed forever. The roof top bar was definitely the highlight - with incredible views of the acropolis, good tunes, and cheap drinks! I have every intention of returning one day :) more

My freinds booked this place and we met up here, we thought it would be quiet in January, but there was a party every night in the DownBoy bar - funny guys here! The quiz night with so strange questions and so much laughing. We did the walking tour with Paula, did not expect Athens to be so good, very... more
