Athens Backpackers

8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (48)
"My two nights at backpackers hostel was great! Friendly staff with two bars… One in the lobby, and one on the roof top with great views of the acropolis. Both bars have a one hour happy hour… Two for one drinks. Very nice breakfast served in the lobby that is also included. Rooms are cleaned daily… Mine had six bunks with a private bathroom for those six people. Nice atmosphere in the lobby to hang out as long as you want and meet other travelers. Highly recommend Backpackers hostel!"

"This place is very nice , safe and super clean. Staff members are helpful, kind and accommodating. I stayed here on and off during my 3 months travels in Greece . They kept my big luggage in a locker room more than 45 days and with affordable price. Each time I came back I was greeted with amazing front desk employees. I’ll be back for sure for my next trip. One of the best hostels I stayed during my Greek and French vacation. Thank you Mosaikon "

"We were very please with this hostel especially for the price. It was everything we needed and very clean. I was also surprised that it was incredibly quiet on a Friday night. We were a family of 4 in a private room but my husband and I talked about how we would have loved to backpack through there in our youth! The location is in the heart of plaka- unbeatable! I also found it extremely kind of them to have free coffee and basic breakfast. "

"I don’t stay at hostels often, but Bedbox and its wonderful staff made it easy to get comfortable. The place is very clean and is cleaned multiple times a day. The location is great - all of central Athens and the acropolis is within a quick enjoyable walk (20 mins tops). The staff are very helpful and went out of their way to make sure I was happy. Constantina is amazing! Highly recommend for a backpacker/hostel experience. "

"The staff was very helpful, in my last day they were also accommodating with my late checkout when I was still recovering from the marathon effort. The outdoor patio and bar is cute, it adds a nice ambiance to the place even though I didn’t take advantage of it as my sleep and rest routine took precedence due to the race. The kitchen / common area is very handy and comfy. Bonus points for the assortment of complimentary premium teas. The area around it is not the prettiest, the streets feel...

"A great little hostel. Seriously for the price this is amazing, privacy measures in the bunks, individual lights, big kitchen, easy access to subway and metro. Clean. A short walk to the sites. I've stayed in far more expensive places that were far worse. I'd come back here in a heartbeat."

"Property was great although Expedia says checkout is later than it is. Checkout I believe is 11am but Expedia said noon, so the concierge came up and was telling us we didn't have the time we thought we did. They were perfectly pleasant but it forced me to pack quickly. Rooftop bar is cute, all the staff were friendly. Location was great"

"Llegue antes de la hora de check in pero permitieron dejar mi mochila, la ubicación es buena, se puede llegar a la Acrópolis y al centro caminando. El metro también está cerca. La habitación femenina de 6 camas no incluye toalla pero se puede arrendar una en recepción por 2€. El locker para el equipaje es pequeño y está debajo de las camas, para bolso de mano está bien, pero algo más grande no entra."
