Very clean, friendly, welcoming and fun. Everyone who worked there was extremely helpful and showed us a really great time. The rooftop bar is a great place to wind down from a day of sightseeing, catch the sunset and meet other backpackers. I have stayed in hostels in over 10 countries and this is definitely one of the best places I have stayed !

Nice bar with views of the Acropolis, free breakfast, free pub crawl. Internet was expensive and the shower could have been cleaner.

Great way to meet people when travelling as they have organised trips and bar crawls.

Roof top bar had amazing views and was a great place to meet people. Would have liked a greater selection of drinks on offer there. Would have been great if the hostel offered ferry booking like others in the area. I also saw a hostel nearby that had free Athens night tours and we missed out on our breakfast as it wasnt prepared in time.

wonderful helpful staff they were extremely helpful wen i had my purse stolen with phone and wallet at the train station, i was very upset and distressed and they were wonderful. very friendly and fun atmosphere to enjoy and great facilities. only problem was that my hostel bookers confirmation letter had the wrong email contact address for athens backpackers and my correspondence that i would be arriving late was not received

This hostel is very decent, but overpriced. When i showed up at around midnight and just wanted to get in bed after a long trip, i was sent to a different location, and then sent to another building from there (with many stairs involved in both). Location is good though, and its clean, The breakfast is simply toast and coffee on a burning hot roof... please invest in a shade umbrella, its kind of ridiculous. You pay mostly for location.

Nice location which is near the Acropolis. We can have breakfast with the view of the Acropolis at the balcony of the hostel building. Nice city guide in the reception.

Great rooftop bar. Took people out on pubcrawls most nights so easy to meet people, However most pubcrawls were 1 bar. Only one toilette/shower per floor shared by 15 people or so but not a problem

Rooftop bar offers an excellent place to meet people and 360 degree views of the city. Staff was helpful. The hostel is undergoing a relocation phase, as they are outgrowing their current location. I was placed in one of their new remodeled rooms 3 blocks away. While somewhat inconvenient (away from the main action at the old location and rooftop bar, computers, etc), I still enjoyed it and was worth the price. Laundry on site.
