Athens Hub Hostel

Fantastic stay, wish I could’ve stayed longer As a digital nomad I was positively surprised by how nice this hostel is for working. The WiFi works great, there are plenty of seats downstairs, and the bar is a surprisingly nice spot to get work done (especially with a Freddo cappuccino). The rooftop terrace has different seatings and more space to relax or work. They host a pub crawl almost every night, which I absolutely recommend. I met great people there, as well as in my dorm. Downstairs wasn’t super social during low season (November) but I still had a great time thanks to the people I met. The staff, both at reception and behind the bar, are fun, helpful and honest. If you book directly you get a free drink and the bar. The decor is warm and inviting, the brunch menu is delicious and the location is incredible! Right in one of Athens’ vibrant neighborhoods, close to alternative bars and great nightlife. Ask the staff for recommendations based on your music taste; they really know the area. Highly recommend this hostel.

Very clean hostel in a great location, very walkable. Front desk staff are very helpful and have plenty of recommendations for activities based on different preferences. The beds come with a nice warm blanket and good quality privacy curtains that block out light efficiently. Only cons: the bathrooms dont have any hand dryers or paper towels, so you must bring your own towel every time.

The staff were friendly, but unfortunately that was the only positive aspect. Staying on the first floor — or rather trying to sleep — was extremely difficult. There is a café directly below on the ground floor that stays loud until after midnight. On top of that, the very loud hand dryer in the restroom adds even more noise. Overall, it was awful.||The showers and toilets are shared and located in the same area. The showers are very small, and drying off is very uncomfortable due to the steam and lack of space. Since there are no proper walls and the beds and lockers are made of metal, there is a lot of noise whenever they are opened or closed. If something falls behind the bed, there is little to no chance of retrieving it.||There is hardly any fresh air, as there are no windows to the outside. Quiet hours do not seem to exist. This place is more suitable for night owls who enjoy their time without consideration for other guests. Anyone looking for peace and quiet should definitely stay elsewhere.

The location couldn’t have been better. The hostel is just 5 min away from everywhere you want to go. The rooms and common areas were super clean, honestly way cleaner than most hostels I’ve stayed at. The staff were some of the friendliest and most helpful people ever. The café/bar in the lobby had such a cozy vibe, perfect for chilling or meeting other travelers. Huge shout-out to Alex for being incredibly kind and helpful.

Spacious rooms, very clean and organized. The only thing is that there is no kitchen, but they give you clean plates, you can microwave your food and they have a small fridge where you can store your food. You can buy breakfast at the bar.

Good location - food options, close to metro, walking distance to acropolis, souvenir streets, night life, etc.Love the grocery shop nearby, within 5 mins walk that offer a cheaper price and varieties that I need.Receptions are mostly friendly and helpful for some information I asked - eg extra blanket, hair dryer.Note: no lift. But staff was helpful.Pantry has only microwave, utensils and small fridge. So very light to no meal prep and cooking.

The location of the hostel is perfect, super close to Monastiraki square, which can be regarded as the „heart“ of Athens, around which most main sightseeing points are located within close distance. There are a lot of nice restaurants and bars around, making it easy to quickly grab a gyros to then eat on the hostel‘s nice rooftop. The rooms are great, with a powerful aircon, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Great hostel experience overall, can definitely recommend!
