Guest Reviews

- Alejandrazzz (8/5): -
- Pablo (9/5): Reaaly nice, confortable and fun. - I liked the ambiance, the people in the reception, the people in general. I liked that there were several ways to get in contact with the people in the hostel and that there is always something to do.
- Laura (9/5): - I liked the fact they have a dorm room with seperate beds (no bunks) they were super comfy. The garden is nice too and the bar where you can meet other travelers. Everyday there was some organized activity but I didn't join them, but it's nice to have the option. It's social but not a party hostel, perfect for me. It's true that the neighbourhood is sketchy, but it doesn't have to be a reason not to book this place. The people that are on the streets (homeless, druggies, prostitues) they are not interested in hurting or harrassing you. No worries. The room where I stayed was a little bit noisy but yeah it's a hostel in the centre so what do you expect. ;-) Just bring earplugs!
- Tamara (10/5): - Ein sehr sauberes, stilvoll eingerichtetes Hostel. Die Angestellten sind nett und hilfsbereit und ich war mit ausschliesslich tollen Leuten im 5er-Dorm Es gibt wahrscheinlich Hostels, die näher beim Stadtzentrum liegen. Mich haben die Spaziergänge jedoch nicht gestört.
- Haydar (10/5): - كل شي جيد لا شي
- Ellen (7/5): - Die Betten sind gemütlich, alles sehr schön und besonders der gemeinschaftsraum. Alle an einem Tisch, sehr kommunikativ, tolle Gespräche mit tollen Menschen! Sehr krasse Gegend
- Adriana (10/5): Great stay in Baloo - Staff muito acessível e simpático, o espaço é muito bonito e bem decorado, uma vibe muito comfy! Os quartos super limpos e espaçosos. Tudo bem
- Ivan (9/5): Приятная ночь в Афинах - Сотрудники дружелюбные и рады помочь. В хостеле очень чисто и приятно находиться. Отличный бар, для любителей повеселиться и познакомиться с кем то. (Главное знать когда вовремя остановиться) Было немного тесно в моем трёхместном номере и он был на минус первом этаже.

- haber (10/5): - a great hostel, everything you need The area is quite harsh but thats how it is in center athens, its definitely not risky or feels threatning at all but its not a nice area.

- Daniel (10/5): Fantastic hostel - The best hostel I've ever stayed at. Very nice and flexible staff, the beds are comfortable with privacy curtains, the bathrooms are very clean, there is a nice social vibe and a really cool garden and bar with local beers. Definitely recommend. The surrounding area is pretty sketchy with lots of drug users, but that's just what the centre of Athens is like! You'll probably need to walk through this area during your trip regardless of what neighbourhood you stay in.
- FRANCESCO (10/5): Breve ma intenso - La pulizia, la tranquillità, la socialità, il personale Niente

- Daniel (8/5): - Very nice hostel with friendly staff. The accomodations were clean and the stay was pleasant overall.
- ae hwa (10/5): - 편안한 침대 깨끗한 욕실 공용 공간이 응접실처럼 안락 특히 부엌이 가본 호스텔 중에 최고 단 수건은 1.5유로 가본 호스텔 중에 제일 좋았어요
- Jonas (10/5): -
- Alexandra (10/5): Sehr, sehr schön! So ein tolles Team! - Sauberkeit, Personal und den tollen Geschmack! Nichts
- Sarah (10/5): - As a female traveler I slept in the mixed dorm which felt super safe. Due to the curtains at each bed privacy was assured. Each bed had it's one storage space underneath which could easily fit more than two big backpacks and could be locked up. Super clean showers and toilets, shared common spaces as beautiful as in the pictures and the staff was super friendly too! Location also nice, short walk to the metro station, walking distance to Exarcheia. Free coffee and fruits for breakfast <3
- Stephanie (10/5): 100% recommendable - The hostel is really nice, it has quite many common areas to share with other people. I did some days of remote work and it was really good. The personal of the hostel is super kind and approachable. The place is super clean, you see them cleaning the whole day. The neighborhood is not so nice during the night as there are many dark streets around it and weird people on the them but they even recommend you which streets to take and which ones to avoid at night, during the day there is no problem at all. They offer fruits and cereal for free during the breakfast, they have really good tea as well
- Victoria (10/5): One of the best hostel’s in Athens. 100%♥️ - 11/10 Amazing space✨✨Everything was just perfect. I arrived a bit unwell & the reception was amazing & let me check in early so I could lay down. Everything about the place is amazing!! 0 complaints :)

- Anastasiia (8/5): Чудесное место - Прекрасный хостел, очень все продумано аккуратно стильно и чисто, классная кухня и входная группа с монстерами. Кондиционер быстро обогрев комнату. В ванной даже были женские принадлежности и ватные палочки(!) - это говорит об отношении к проживающим, это ценно. Отдельная благодарность девушке на ресепшене, очень заботливо везде провела и показала, хоть я и была всего одну ночь Шумы слышны как будто в твоей комнате, я пару раз пугалась даже

- Andruir (10/5): Good value, pleasant stay. - Spacious rooms; clean; kitchen, friendly staff. Close to public transportation. Not far from main tourist sites. I liked everything. I was hesitant to book this hotel because people complain about the location, with homeless people on the streets, but I realized this is almost normal in Athens in certain areas. I never felt unsafe.

- Luka (7/5): I liked everything the situation the hostel the staff was very great. The facilities were clean safe but the outside of - The staff was excellent. I cannot even imagine better people than them. I also liked the interior. It was very beautiful and stylish and also the bar and the outside area was great. The only bad thing in hostel is the location because it’s a very unsafe. The people outside of the hostel are very bad. There are many homeless people there and do not walk alone in this area by yourself.

- redkey (10/5): Go there - Stuff, location
- Chizuru (5/5): - ドミトリーの部屋内と、部屋外にトイレとシャワーがあったのは便利。 ドミトリーの部屋で、４つのベッドはカーテンで仕切られていたけど、私のベッドはロフトにあり、カーテンもないから電気がついている限り眠れないし、手すりのない急な階段を上り下りしなければならなかった。何度も落ちるかと思った。また、カーテンがついているベッドでも２段ベッドの上段は天井がない作りなので、私が階段を降りる度に他人のベッドを上から覗き込むことができてしまうので、階段を落ちないようにするのと覗かないようにするのに神経を使った。 共用キッチンにいる人やホステルの入口前でタバコを吸っている人たちの声がよく聞こえ、ずっとうるさかった。
- ABRHAM (10/5): - السلام عليكم كان الطاقم ممتاز ومهدبين جدا المكان نظيف وهادئه وجميل موقع ممتاز انصح به كثيراً مكان جميل انصح به
- Wiktoria (10/5): Everything was done perfectly. From cleanliness of rooms to make everybody happy in the hostel. 🥰 -
- Maxine (9/5): I would certainly stay again - It's hard to fault The pillow was very poor quality and the first night I had no warm blanket until I enquired with staff who had left me only a thin sheet in November There are drug users, homeless and sex workers nearby.
- Aise (8/5): Great value, recommended! - Welcoming staff, social room with activities, clean, good services. Ok location, not in the very center, but not far to walk to metro/bus stops. Some other guest kept turning the heating up to overly hot temperatures (27-30 °C), had troubles trying to sleep even half naked... Go to Bali if you want tropical weather!
- Guldana (10/5): - Clean, location and the receptionist was very great Nothing

- Guy (9/5): - Staff were super friendly and helpful and the bed was comfy. Showers were a little cheap and cramped and it would be nice to have an inside common area.
- Alexandra (10/5): The cosiest jungle you’ll want to spend your days at. - The best hostel I’ve ever stayed at! Super cozy and beautiful common area with the kitchen, which is really well equipped (I really appreciated the selection of loose teas available all day :), cereal and fruit and coffee for breakfast was also nice :) The colours, wooden materials and artsy decorations made me feel instantly at home and happy to socialize there. Spacious bedrooms with great showers and separate toilets, wide selection of board games to play, cute patio in the back to hang out among so many plants! The girls at the reception were all amazing and incredibly kind and helpful, especially Aliki, Georgia and Basia :)) All the other guests were fantastic too, we instantly bonded in this wonderful hostel, which made my stay unforgettable, thank you! i will definitely return on my next stay in Athens, couldn’t love it more. Nothing.
- Charlotte (7/5): -
- Joss (7/5): Solid Athens hostel - Nice communal areas and the bedbunks were good and sturdy. The shared breakfast was a nice touch too. Showers weren’t unclean they were just poorly constructed. The fake wooden floors were just a bit slimy due to the material at the bottom. Also it’s in Omonia which can make some people uncomfortable with it’s ‘urban’ character

- geiaxaraman (10/5): θα ξαναπήγαινα - Καλα, ίσως το καλύτερο χοστελ στην Αθήνα. Άριστη αξιοποίηση του υπέροχου νεοκλασικού κτιρίου χώρις χαζή περιττή διακόσμηση. Τα παράθυρα απέξω βγαίνουν σε δρομο με δεντράκια κάτι το οποίο το λατρεύω. Έχει αυλιτσα με αρκετο πράσινο κ τραπεζάκια για αραγμα. Η κουζίνα ειναι υπέροχη με ολα τα απαραίτητα. Επίσης, εγώ στη ρεσεψιόν πέτυχα δυο πολύ εξυπηρετικές κοπέλες, πρόθυμες να λύσουν κάθε απορία που ενδεχομένως να υπάρχει κατα τη διαμονή.Υπεροχο,χαλαρο μέρος με ,ξεκαθαρα, αθηναϊκα βαιμπς στο πολυαγαπημένο μας Μεταξουργείο. νοθινγκ
