What people say.. "Absolutely nothing bad to say about this place! It is Aussie run, and all the staff was fabulous! The breakfast was great, the rooms and bathrooms were clean! Excellent view of the Acropolis from the rooftop patio and bar, and besides who can complain when shots of Ouzo are 1 euro??" Emily OZ "Awesome staff, location, and crowd! We have been backpacking around Europe and have stayed in 12 different hostels; this one has been by far the most fun. While it is not the cleanest, it's fine and definitely a must stay for large groups and to have an enjoyable experience in Athens. Don't forget to check out the rooftop patio!" Nick Ireland "Loved it! Definitely a place to meet people because everyone was so friendly, so this would be a good place if you're traveling by yourself." Riccardo Italy "Awesome hostel with a great staff. It is literally right outside of one of the main metro stops in Athens, which made it easy to get to and from the airport, main sights etc." Louise UK "Fantastic hostel. Everyone was crazy nice and up for a good time. The roof top bar is amazing and they have great drink deals. AND there is a pub crawl every night! Cannot beat that." Sara USA "Very recommended. One of the best hostels I have stayed in!! "Pacho Brazil "Vacationed with my daughter (high school grad gift) in Greece for 3 weeks. Athens Backpackers Hostel was excellent and very accomendating.
