Elena 11 - 2025
9/10

The location was perfect, just steps away from the Acropolis and metro station. Rooms were clean and quiet after 11 pm, with beds featuring curtains and accessible charging points. The hostel included breakfast beyond just toast and marmalade. Social spaces such as a rooftop bar offered beautiful views of the Acropolis. An elevator was available for convenience.
