Guest Reviews
- Kattar el Nada (10/5): -
- 小林 (9/5): - Friendly staff and free breakfast. The 4 bed room with restroom inside. The hostel is 800m away from metro station. The 6 bed room without restroom inside.
- Hannah (7/5): Un lieu pratique et peu cher pour visiter Athènes - La localisation, la cour pour prendre son petit déjeuner Notre chambre donnait sur la rue où il y avait des travaux, donc un peu bruyant
- Roberto (9/5): -
- Ronaldo (10/5): - Everything was fine. They guy in the reception was very helful and friendly.Constantinos. thank you. You could put a curtains in the beds just to give more privacy and to avoid the lights.
Hangers would help in the toilet also.
- Antonis (9/5): -
- Mauro Domenico (10/5): - Accoglienza, atmosfera, luogo, pulizia, posizione, spazi, colazione.
- Léa (8/5): -
- Melissa (8/5): -
- Kermarrec (10/5): Go there! - The staff is lovely <3
The location is absolutely perfect. I want to live in this area permanently. I would maybe like some curtains around each bed, but that’s ok.
- Kermarrec (10/5): Highly contributed to my trip satisfaction - Staff and location 10/10 N/A
- Marina (9/5): Rundum gut, sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis - Ich fand die Unterkunft sehr sauber, das Zimmer war nach hinten raus und sehr ruhig.
- Luca (10/5): Incredibile - Le camere sono accoglienti. Staff gentilissimo e sempre disponibile.
- Jacques (10/5): I’ve tried them all. That one is definitively the best - I moved a lot in Athens and I am constantly annoyed by fake reviews, so I will try to be as honest as I can. The team, the lounge, the terrace, the kitchen, the breakfast, the overall unique, respectful but very friendly atmosphere.Despite not being the cheapest one, I’ve known people that stayed there for months! (That says it all…). Showers are okay, you have lots of space to move inside the bathroom (quite rare in Athens) pretty clean toilets, balconies to dry out your stuff.And for some reasons, that place only attracts nice people (please don’t ask me why, I don’t know…). Lockers in the rooms are great and spacey. I would like the kitchen to be a little more spacey, there’s only one cooking place (for 4 pots However), I would enjoy a second one. The top beds are very high. Very solid ones, you won’t be annoyed by the other person’s moves underneath (very important !), but very high,please consider this if, like me, you’re a bit old. As in April 2026 : 1) there are some ongoing works in the neighborhood. Not a problem at all during the evening/night/mornings, but might be is some annoyance during the day (not the fault of the owner, however) 2) One key was missing to close the bathroom first floor (I totally forgot to inform the team about it…). Yet, despite those flaws I still give it a 10/10, first time ever…
- Henry (6/5): -
- FranciBella (7/5): - Posizione ottima.. Quartiere giovane e movimentato. Sconsiglio la camera a piano terra. La strada è abbastanza trafficata e si sente davvero ogni rumore.

- Miguel (8/5): Muy bien pero mejorable el personal - La ubicación es muy buena, el lugar es tranquilo y en temporada baja estaba casi vacío, lo que hizo la estancia muy relajante. La habitación cómoda y el desayuno bien. En general, la gente muy simpática. El personal poco amable.

- Miguel (7/5): Excelente para as nossa necessidades. - Camas confortáveis. Os lençóis pareciam limpos.
Pequeno almoço decente e servem bem cedo para se poder aproveitar o dia. Casa de banho modesta. Parece que falta um pouco de ventilação na casa banho mas posso estar errado.

- Lynn (7/5): Price-value is good, location very convenient - The staff were super friendly and welcoming. Provided helpful information on what to do and where to go. You can also leave your luggage there on the day of departure. The rooms were okay, the bathrooms small but everything clean. Enough storage space for luggage in the rooms. The location is super convenient, everything within walking distance. The kitchen is well equipped, including fridge etc. if you want to prepare your own food or have a snack. The rooms were pretty small. I had a top bunk and sometimes struggled with getting up, the stairs/ladder is rather difficult to climb. The rooms was also extremely warm and the AC didn't really work, so it got very warm at night. The doors and lockers were loud to open and close, so caused some noise during the night. Breakfast was very minimal.
- konstantina (10/5): Once again everything was nice. -
- Bastian (10/5): - Excellent!
- Luca (9/5): - Tutto Dalle finestra entrava un cattivo odore, per il resto tutto benissimo.
- rodolfo (8/5): - El trato amable del personal La habitación necesita más reglas con ruido y uso de la luz cuando otros duermen
- Jasmin (10/5): Great hostel in Exarchia neighborhood - Super relaxed during off season, friendly staff, clean and very comfy bed!
- Almerinda (7/5): - L'ostello è in una posizione ottima per scoprire la città a piedi, in un quartiere super vivo, pieno di locali e ristoranti e vicinissimo al centro.
La struttura non è nuovissima, ma se non si hanno troppe esigenze e si è un po' spartani, va benissimo come punto d'appoggio. Lo staff è sicuramente il punto forte: sorridenti e simpatici, sempre disponibili per info e consigli. Un pochino di attenzione in più nella pulizia e una colazione più varia con qualcosa di salato, renderebbero il tutto ancora più piacevole.

- Natalia (9/5): -
- Silvina (7/5): Un hostel muy bonito, pero no recomendable para nomadas digitales. - Los chicos de la recepción son amorosos, las habitaciones estaban ok con las comodidades necesarias, me hubiese gustado que tengan cortinas.
Tiene un patio hermoso, y la zona de los alrededores está llena de bares y restaurantes.
La limpieza del lugar es impecable. El internet es muy malo, y en la zona ni siquiera hay buena señal de celular para usar los datos. Si no tenes que trabajar es un buen hostel, pero si sos nomada digital te recomendaría ir a algun otro lugar más en el centro donde la señal es un poco mejor en general.
Me quedé una semana y el desayuno me pareció muy repetitivo, estaría bueno que tengan algo de fruta o que vayan cambiando.
Las puertas de los baños en las habitaciones compartidas son insoportables, hacen muchísimo ruido.
- Anja (9/5): -
- Bárbara Palacios Cabezas (9/5): - La amabilidad del personal. Fueron muy amorosos y amables con nosotros, atentos en todo momento. El desayuno podría tener un poco más de variedad
- maria teresa (7/5): Nell'esperienza in Ostello - Ottima posizione e staff gentile. La colazione compresa nel prezzo era semplice ma buona.
Ogni sera veniva offerto agli ospiti un aperitivo gratuito.
Bellissima area esterna dedicata ai fumatori. Abbiamo utilizzato una stanza doppia con bagno privato. Non erano presenti molti punti di appoggio e ganci per attaccare giacche/asciugamani.

- Volker (7/5): - A little bit noisy at night
- Archie (9/5): Staff are really friendly and helpful, great location with comfortable beds and clean facilities. - Staff are really friendly and helpful, great location with comfortable beds and clean facilities.
- DIANA (2/5): - Only the staff were very friendly, helpful and understanding. Cleanliness of the place.
- Félicia (8/5): Bien et confortable - Équipements
Chambres Un peu excentré
Ambiance très calme pour un Hostel
- Inese (10/5): - The one of greatest hostels where I have stayed!
- Maria (6/5): établissement moyen - La salle de bains.
Le manque du savon dans la douche
Le bruit de portes
- 0nTheR0ad (10/5): Very very good - Bellissimo ostello. Un luogo dove ti senti accolto dopo una lunga giornata in giro per Atene. Camere pulite e letti comodi. Buona la colazione. Nulla, tutto ok.
- Baptiste (7/5): - Etablissement très agréable dans une grande maison avec un personnel très symptahique et accueillant. Groupe assez bruyant lors de notre séjour, l'isolation phonique laisse à désirer
- Aina (7/5): -
- Nhung (7/5): -
- Talia (9/5): -
- Johnny (10/5): - A lovely stay in Athens at this wonderful location!
What a fantastic place! No wonder is rated high for outstanding!
The staff are great, professionals, well mannered and top notch. Costas, John, Odysseus, Madonna, all have shown me hospitality at the highest level.
- Ευαγγελία Σακκούλη (8/5): Όμορφη γειτονιά, ζεστή ατμόσφαιρα. - Άνετο κρεβάτι, καθαρό δωμάτιο και μπάνιο. Το air-condition δυνατά όλη νύχτα με κούρασε. Το πρωινό πολύ basic, θα μπορούσε να έχει κάτι ακόμα.
- Birthe (9/5): -
- Patryk (9/5): - Very tidy room with comfortable bed and clean bathroom.
- Praktan (8/5): Good for money - The staff is friendly and the neighbouring area is pretty good with many restaurants and shops. Most of the things are within 2 km of radius from the hostel. There are no curtains on the bed which makes it a bit awkward.
I hope they keep the property a little bit more hygienic , especially the toilets in the room.
The break is not something you expect to see when it's promoted on the booking page so much.
When I was staying in,some renovation/construction was happening in next building which makes it hard to sleep/rest in the room.
- Justyna (7/5): - An OK hostel to spend the night if you're in transit or if you plan to spend whole days sightseeing and eat out. Friendly staff.
- alice (10/5): Speciale! - Posto centrale, staff gentilissimo e ambiente informale.
- michel (8/5): -
- Savvas (8/5): Μία γρήγορη λύση για την διαμονή σου στην Αθήνα. - Ένα ικανοποιητικό κατάλυμα που το μεγαλύτερο χαρακτηριστικά είναι η καθαριότητα του καθώς και η φιλική ρεσεψιόν .
- Nicola (10/5): - I got the best room of the building. Oh so spacious and clean. A little far from the main attractions as I needed to take the bus each time. It was made more annoying that the public transport isn’t as frequent or reliable but this isn’t the hotel’s fault.
- Mohamed (10/5): -
- Johnny (10/5): - I want to acknowledge the staff that works at the Nubian hostel. Odysseus at the front desk and Madonna with the upkeeping of the rooms, whose attention to excellence set the standard at that wonderful hostel.
- María (8/5): -
- Esra (9/5): - Çok çok beğendim, bir gece Athena'da kalacağım için burayı seçtim. Konumu açısından da çok avantajlıydı, bir otobüs bir metro ile Acropolis'e ulaşımı var. Havaalanı için de aynı şekilde bir metro bir otobüs ile ulaşabiliyorsunuz kolayca. Ekip çok yardımcı ve güler yüzlüydü. Odalar küçüktü ama tavan yüksekliği çok iyiydi bu sebeple odanın küçüklüğünde bunalmadım. Ranzanın üstünde yatıyordum ve ayağa kalkıp üstümü değişebildim boyum 1.63. Yatakların yanında priz de var. Çok memnun oldum. Güvenli bir semtti, gece 10'da tek başıma yürüdüm Actopolis'ten, ve gayet güvende hissettim.
- Jose (10/5): -
- Zilan Michaela (6/5): -
- Johnny (10/5): - I had a swell time. All was great.
- Johnny (10/5): - I had a great stay at Nubian Hostel. Everyone was polite, especially Odysseus at the front desk.
Highly recommended.
- Giulia (7/5): Comoda, personale gentile e disponibile, peccato il rumore e un po’ la pulizia - Comoda nel centro della città e facile da raggiungere con i mezzi e il personale super gentile e disponibile rumorosa noi avevamo la camera piano strada, la colazione poteva essere più ricca.
- vivian (10/5): The Nubian is a guaranteed great stay in Athens! - The Nubian is a beautiful place. Staff is there 24/7. The arrangement with keys and luggage is very convenient. The hospitality and mindset is wonderful. One of the best experiences I had on my trip to Athens. Also fantastic neighborhood.
- Taraldset (10/5): I nice cool stay with a good breakfast. - The bed was wide enough for 2. I got my own sheet! The airconditioner sighed all night so I had to wear ear plugs
- Valentina (9/5): Posizione ottima per la sera - Posizione comodissima per la sera,girato l’angolo una via piena di ristoranti buoni ed economici.
A piedi a mezz’oretta dal centro,metropolitana a 10 minuti
- Sara (9/5): -
- Luciana (8/5): Genial - Los espacios compartidos Nada que acotar
- PILAR (8/5): Céntrico y cómodo - Buena ubicación, cerca de bares, restaurantes y supermercados, se puede ir andando a todos los lugares de interés. La cocina compartida muy bien equipada y limpia. El desayuno incluido y bastante completo: leche, café, zumo, tostadas con mermelada y mantequilla y cereales, tipo buffet. Nosotros teníamos una habitación privada de 4 porque íbamos con niños y todo bien, quizás el baño un poco justo de tamaño. el personal muy amable. Las zonas comunes muy agradables: cocina, sala de estar y terraza.
Volveríamos de nuevo al mismo hostel. Quizás un poco ruidoso, el hostel y la calle. Se oían bastantes ruidos por las noches. Las toallas hay que pagar por el alquiler.
