Best hostel experience! The nicest, most helpful staff work here. They host a variety of events, and offer a tour of the city for only 6 euros. The tour guide is great - he knows (and remembers) everyone's name, gives great recommendations for food and places to see, and in general is full of knowledge about a city he clearly... More

Despite the weather, the accomodations at the hostel were a nice break from my travels and I was very happy to see everything taken care of when I got here. I stayed in the 6 person female dorm. It was very clean. There were two balcony doors that had sun shinning through any moment the sun was out! The water... More

This was a nice place that was very easy to get to. It's literally just around the corner from the Akropoli Metro station; which is only one stop away from Syntagma Square & Parliament. If you're going to Athens you clearly must visit the Acropolis so you may may as well stay within walking distance of it. The staff was... More

Athens Backpackers is located at the border of Acropoli station and Plaka, so a great location to see the amazing landmark and also enjoy the restaurants that gorgeous Plaka offers. The roof top bar is a popular place for everyone to head as the sun goes down. With stunning views of the Acropolis lit up at night, and happy hour... More

I had the great pleasure of meeting wonderful travelers from all over the world, and spend NYE at the Sports Bar and the Tiki bar. Walter, THANK YOU for the... More

Breakfast was nothing to write home about. The staff is helpful. Close to everything in Athens. They charge to use the computers. More

I love cooking and the self-service kitchen is perfect for me to cook a healthy meal on a budget. Service is excellent, all-you-eat breakfast is great, place is very clean except bathrooms are always wet (not much you can do about), free coffee and tea 24x7, free wifi, generous check-out rules, luggage storage service, daily trips and travel info. Staff... More

This is an awesome place to stay. I stayed in their apartments which had a small balcony, kitchenette, and en suite. The place was clean, spacious and modern. The staff are really friendly and I totally recommend their walking tour. It was the highlight of my stay. Awesome rooftop bar that looks over the Acropolis lit up at night -... More
