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

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

I stayed here for 5 nights recently in a 6 bed ensuite dorm, room was clean bed was comfy, the shower was handheld which was a bit awkward and went hot and cold sometimes and the radiator in dorm was noisey. The location is great within walking distance of most of Athens sights and only steps from the metro station.... More

This hostel made our stay in Athens one of the best vacations ever! It's at the perfect location, right on the doorstep of the Acropolis, and is right in the heart of a great restaurant district (definitely try God's Restaurant, it's amazing!). We were placed at the Athens studios, the first room we had was a 3 bedroom ensuite with... More
