Customer reviewGreat location! Proximity to sites and restaurants. Fun ambiance! Lots of people going in and out and just hanging around socializing in the common space. Spacious rooms, with balconies! Much cooler than many of the hostels I've stayed in... |

Joseph BainA fantastic hostel in a great location. The staff were really helpful and friendly. Free wifi and breakfast. Rooftop bar is a bit basic but is cheap and has a view of the acropolis. I would definitely recommend the walking tour that goes every day. Tiring but well worth €5. Really interesting and a great intro to the city. |

Customer reviewExcellent location. We'd stayed at Athens Studios. Only minus was the restroom is small and the shower curtains dont hold the water within the tub leaving the whole place a mess. |

Kelly HusterI had a fantastic time staying at Athens Backpackers'....not only was the location a stone's throw from the Acropolis, but the rooftop bar (looking directly at the Acropolis, no less) provided many a good time. The hostel offered guided activities/sightseeing and even bar-hopping at night. Would definitely stay here again. |

Kelly BealsRoof top bar area is big enough for a gathering and just small enough so everyone has to be social. It's a hard act to get right but this place pulls it off so if you are a solo traveller it's just fantastic. |

Customer reviewThe location is great., the rooms are clean enough, the staff is very friendly but the best part is, without question, the view of the Acropolis from the rooftop, which is also the bar (totally spectacular!). Also, it gives you a chance to meet the other guests. All in all, it was a good option considering the price. Pitty they don't have singles rooms. |
