I had an amazing stay at Mosaikon Glostel! The location was perfect, close to all the main attractions in Athens. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to offer recommendations and assist with anything needed. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with a cozy atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The facilities were well-maintained, and the common areas provided a great space to relax and meet other travelers.

I really enjoyed my stay at Retroverse☺️ Everything was fresh and clean, the bed with privacy curtains and lamp was comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped and the staff was very welcoming. In my dorm room there was also a balcony which was a nice surprise, as well that coffee and tea was free! It was only 20 minutes walk to Acropolis and other "main" attractions also, so the location was really good as well.

In the vicinity of the most prosperous area, but also on a quiet road. So not many noises at night. Good facility, and each bed have a curtain, so you have lots of privacy. Also, the staffs are warm and willing to give some advice. I totally appreciate it.

All hostels in Athens

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great staff. Great service. Good value for money. Great location. Quiet. Great lockers (however it could be cheaper (it's free in some of the hostels), but I would say that yours is very safe with the PIN code). Great rooftop. The beds are comfortable.

    Best hostel I’ve stayed exactly like pictures, close metro station that goes direct to airport, close to many historical sites including Acropolis and different Agora. Dormitory has private bathroom and they are all very clean. Bedding is comfortable. Strong air conditioning. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly, would definitely stay again if back at Athens.

    The hostel provides a cheap place to sleep in a convenient location in the centre of Athens. The facilities are fairly clean and the staff are fairly helpful. There are washing and left luggage facilities. The Omonia area is not as threatening as some people would have you believe and the immediate vicinity of the hostel felt safe.

    Cozy hostel, friendly staff. Great way to travel on a budget and meet new people. Plenty of common areas, and that perfect view from the terrace - definitely worth a stay. Bed was comfy. Bathrooms nice and clean. Such a lovely cleaning lady attended every morning. Great location too - just 5 minutes walk from one of the 3 surrounding metro stations. Plenty of large and small corner shops, coffee and food places around the area. Would stay again without thinking twice. Thanks for a pleasant experience!
