Athens Hub Hostel

The staff at reception and behind the bar were fun, helpful and honest. Book directly and you get a free drink at the bar. I met great people on the pub crawl, which they run almost every night, and in my dorm. It wasn’t super social downstairs in low season, in November, but I still had a great time. As a digital nomad, I was pleasantly surprised by how well this hostel worked for getting things done. The WiFi was great, there were plenty of seats downstairs, and the bar was a surprisingly nice place to work, especially with a Freddo cappuccino. There’s more room to work or relax on the rooftop terrace, with different kinds of seating. The decor feels warm and inviting, and the brunch menu is delicious. The location is incredible, in one of Athens’ vibrant neighbourhoods near alternative bars and great nightlife. Ask the staff what they recommend based on your music taste, they know the area. I highly recommend it, and wish I could’ve stayed longer.

The beds were cozy and comfortable, with curtains, big lockers, and clean bathrooms. The staff were lovely, and so was the bartender downstairs. My son had a great first hostel experience, and we really enjoyed staying here.

The people working here made my stay. Everyone was welcoming, and Alex’s cooking class was hands-on, warm, and so much fun. I met lovely people, and by the end of the evening we were cooking, laughing, sharing stories, and dancing thanks to Alex and Maria. The staff also helped us find a Delphi day trip that worked with our budget, and someone was always there to answer the locked front door, even when we arrived late. That felt reassuring. I was in Athens for the first time, travelling alone and arriving at night without Wi-Fi, so I was nervous. The hostel quickly made me feel at ease. I’d stayed in hostels before, including in Florence, but this one stood out. They stored my luggage for free, which was a relief compared with another nearby hostel I’d stayed at. I booked a private room on the top floor. There’s no elevator, but the room was worth the stairs. I also spent a night in the four-bed girls’ dorm, which was clean, modern, and comfortable, just like the private room. There’s a lot happening, with events and social activities, so ask what’s on. The location is handy for walking to historic sites, shopping, restaurants, the train, and nightlife. YouTube Video: I Paid €15 for a Luxury Greek 🇬🇷 Cooking Class... at a Hostel?!

I paid €15 for a night in a six-bed mixed dorm. The bed was comfortable, there was a private balcony, and the storage locker was a decent size. The hostel is on a quiet side street, just around the corner from the old-fashioned bar happy days!! Reception and the bar are open 24 hours.
