Location is great, very close to metro and tourist sites. At night you get very good picture of Acropolos from top. Rooms are good, safe. Breakfast is sumptuous and tasty. Only drawback is elevater is tooooo small. Locks are digital.
Met some friends here for drinks and Hope was so incredibly helpful and sweet. Shoutout for great customer service. We didn’t stay there, but it has a very nice lobby and bar with a clean WC (that has toilet seats)!
JAN.30 - FEB.2, Room2, 1st floor, Bed6 The location is great! So close to the Acropolis and to some tourist attractions like Athens Parliament Building, Olympics Stadium, etc. The metro is just a few steps away from the hostel, just right outside of it. How cool is that! And that makes it easy to go to the other tourist attractions like National Archeological Museum. And to the airport as well. Nothing to complain about. Thank you Athens Backpackers Hostel.
The hotel reception staff (female one) were rude and indifferent, at the end she help us somehow but with an uncomfortable and rude attitude (although the problem they have to solve cause from the room itself). Moreover we just asked an additional request whether the request is possible or not. We really dont like the reaction that we faced with, as a customer who paid for the service. We were very surprised that a receptionist (female one), who is the primary point of contact for customer greeting and satisfaction, could be so rude to a customer and act in a way that made you feel uncomfortable. We had prefered this hostel by looking its Google points; but most of the hostels around here are more friendly and caring.And more smiling receptionist.
Athens Backpackers is fantastic. The location is unbelievable, its 5 minutes from the Acropolis, right next to the Metro station and you walk out and straight into Plaka. Syntagma station is just one stop away, so getting in and back to the airport is a breeze. Their free breakfast is quite generous and balanced with fresh fruit, cereal, cold cuts, cheese and bread. It makes for a great start to the day. The staff are friendly and warm, though they do have difficulty in managing the infrastructure, as they struggled to get the room heating under control for my room. Great compact and basic rooms with bedding included, and good loght blocking curtains so each capsule is private. Would help to have a simple chair in the room so wearing shoes and getting ready becomes easier. Their rooftop view of the Acropolis is just magical - completely unobstructed and makes a fantastic backdrop for a night beer.
