“Popular backpackers in the heart of Athens”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

Athens Backpackers is located at the border of Acropoli station and Plaka, so a great location to see the amazing landmark and also enjoy the restaurants that gorgeous Plaka offers.

The roof top bar is a popular place for everyone to head as the sun goes down. With stunning views of the Acropolis lit up at night, and happy hour prices, it seems to gather a good number.

Rooms are basic but tidy, and there's plenty of room in the complex to relax or enjoy a meal.

What a terrific eight days I spent! Daniel, Jill, Paul, Walter, and everyone else that works there are some of the coolest, nicest, and hospitable people I've met in years. I had the great pleasure of meeting wonderful travelers from all over the world, and spend NYE at the Sports Bar and the Tiki bar. Walter, THANK YOU for the Mycanea-Nafplio-Epidavros recommendation and arrangement...made my trip!

Everyone have a wonderful new year and I look forward to our paths crossing again!

“Great location.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2011

Breakfast was nothing to write home about. The staff is helpful. Close to everything in Athens. They charge to use the computers.

I love cooking and the self-service kitchen is perfect for me to cook a healthy meal on a budget. Service is excellent, all-you-eat breakfast is great, place is very clean except bathrooms are always wet (not much you can do about), free coffee and tea 24x7, free wifi, generous check-out rules, luggage storage service, daily trips and travel info. Staff is warm and friendly. A very safe place to stay.

I stayed here after a horrid night elsewhere in Athens! booking the night before, it still wasnttoo expensive for a private studio apartment for 2 people. it's in Ana awesome area right by the acropolis museum and monument and the area is lovely to walk around with tonnes of little cafes to stop in it. the staff were SO friendly and lovely to deal with. definite recommendation :)
