Excellent hostel, highly recommended. It was clean, room temperature was perfect even though it was really hot outside. There was privacy in the dorm because of the curtain in the bunk bed. I also loved the breakfast. Waffles, fruits etc and really good coffee. Thank you!

Unique accommodation with genuine Greek hostess. Simply a fantastic accommodation experience. We were looking for accommodation in Glyfada 4 days before further sailing in the Greek archipelago. It was 4 days at Ioanna's Hellenic Hospitality. 4 days where the hostess Ioanna really offered herself and gilded our life in a very nice and hospitable way. We immediately got a nice contact and were invited by Ioanna to Greek dinners prepared by her with fantastically good moussaka not forgetting schrimp Saganaki which was enjoyed in the pleasant company of Ioanna and her friends. We were offered to be shown the surroundings, help with laundry etc. Simply things you as a traveler appreciate very much. Ioanna is truly passionate about giving her guests an authentic experience. So, for those who want a familiar yet private accommodation and at the same time want the opportunity to experience true Greek hospitality at the highest level, we warmly recommend the accommodation with Ioanna at Ioanna's Hellenic Hospitality. Hotells and rbnb´s you can find all over. But there is only one Ioanna ́s Hellenic Hospitality😊 Everything was of course clean and fresh in every way and the location very good with sea views, nice rooms and balconies etc. which of course contributed to a nice experience but for us as worldtravelers it was above all Ioanna's warm hospitality that made our 4 days with her a memorable experience that we will never forget and which we warmly recommend to all of you who are looking for something similar. Until next time Ioanna😊

Bedway is a very nice hostel situated very close to the metro. The whole hostel feels new and fresh. The rooms are very clean and equipped with air-conditioning which keeps them at a comfortable temperature. The beds are large and equipped with a power socket. There are also large individual lockers in the rooms. The toilets and showers are good. There is a small lounge area indoors and a self-catering kitchen. There is also a small and nice outdoor terrace between the buildings, away from the direct sunshine. This is quite good, since it gets hot in Athens. I definitely recommend this hostel.

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!
