At the hostel, each room has a wardrobe. Ioanna's Hellenic Hospitality provides some units with sea views, and all rooms are fitted with a balcony. All guest rooms in the accommodation are fitted with a flat-screen TV and free toiletries.

A lovely, comfortable and clean apartment with an amazing hostess and very cute dog! As a solo female traveller, I could not have felt safer. Having a view over the sea and being not too far from Athens centre by public transport, it was like getting the best of both worlds. But more importantly, it was like finding a home in Athens! I'm very happy I chose to stay here.

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.

    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.

    The staff is very friendly and will kindly answer any question you might have, for example on places to eat or ways to get around in Athens with public transport. There’s a small but very cute common area where people hang out at night. Everything you would expect from a Youth hostel is there. The price is very cheap.
