Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    Great location with 2 train stops into centre of city and about 20 minutes with easy transfer from train to tram for the beaches. Stay amongst the locals and eat a bit cheaper than city centre. Felt totally safe. Key box number given in advance

    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!

    It is very close to the center and convenient for tourist attractions. It is good value for money, we found it very cheap. The staff helped us with everything we needed and was always there. We booked online for two beds/bunk beds, and they were available in different rooms, but the hostel arranged for us to be in the same room, and we deeply appreciated that. Also, they have great luggage storage to leave before and after check out with big space and great security in the lockers.

    The hotel is nicely located in the city center, in a safe area, close to restaurants and bars. The staff was friendly and happy to provide me tips on the city, restaurants and so on. There is a nice rooftop open to the guests, and I was spending the late nights there looking at the Acropolis. The petit room is a bit small, but I think it’s a good deal for a single traveler on a budget, considering the great location.
