10 Top-Rated Hostels hotel in Greece

April 28, 2023 Carley Gatson

Greece is one of those rare places where ancient history is still very much a part of modern life. Visitors are as much drawn to the country’s epic intellectual history as its beauty and charm. Make time for the iconic features of the Acropolis of Athens, which include the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, and the Temple of Athena Nike. Mythology buffs will appreciate Crete, Olympia, Samos, and Naxos for their mythological significance. For a peaceful beach vacation, the island of Santorini is perfect.

City Circus Athens

City Circus is an alternative travelers space for the restless voyager, the escape artist, the acrobat. It's in the heart of Athens, in the hip Psirri neighborhood, beside numerous eateries and watering holes and a short walk from worthwhile sites. City Circus is in a 4-story, restored early 20th century mansion, complete with fresco-ed ceilings, wrought-iron balconies and baroque tiles. We’ve dressed it up with vintage furniture, reclaimed materials, modern design elements and street art by a selection of fresh local talent.

Enjoying City Circus

Reviewed By larriji

Clean rooms, super nice staff, fun place, but the really amazing thing about City Circus is the location. You are a one minute walk to an enchanting journey through the cobblestone side-streets of Athens. I have stayed at City Circus twice now and continue to appreciate the energy the owner and staff puts into their eclectic gathering point. I now consider CC as a launching place upon arrival to Athens.

Value for money, who would knew that a hostel would have provided a 3* accommodation. Room size typical of the city with the half price. All areas where throughout cleaned. The girl in the reception was very friendly. Το προτείνω ανεπιφύλακτα ειδικά για όσους θέλουν απλή διαμονή μέσα στην πόλη

Brilliant for Solo travellers

This is the hostel to be! The location is perfect, everything in the heart of Athens is within a walkable distance. A walking tour is provided at 10am daily by the amazing Andrew, where you will be given a historical/mythical tour and advice on the best sites and quality food. I stayed in a 6 room female only dorm. Now my only negative comment is that it was freezing up there at night, however once mentioned to staff I was provided with extra blankets. My room was clean with plenty of storage space for a large backpack. Breakfast has something suitable for everyone, fruit, eggs, bread and cereal. The staff are what make this hostel unique. Walter and Costa are the barman from heaven and never fail to make happy hour enjoyable for all. Steph and her new staff member keep things going during the day, able to answer every question from recommendations etc The vibe of the hostel ultimately is what you make it but has everything for you to have a brilliant time and make loads of travel buddies. Activities are listed on the walls to inform guests. The cleaning staff are so kind and helpful! The roof top view is *chefs kisses* Cheap and cheerful! Thank you Athens Backpackers!

You get what you pay for

Reviewed By timlucier

You get what you pay for, and this is definitely the most affordable hostel choice near Meteora. In a heatwave, it was very noticeable to us that the AC unit was broken. Beds have really noisy/crinkly plastic mattress protectors, everything is pretty dated. The kitchen is outdoors and the doors do not lock. Still - for the price point you really can't complain. Ask your host about breakfast at the cafe down the road, they have a bit of a partnership for an affordable brekky. Great location.

Zorbas Hotel

Poor place for unassuming people

Reviewed By Juliv93

The only positive thing is friendly staff. The location coud be convenient, but the area seems unpleasant and unsafely. In fact, it is a typical cheap wretched hostel for a 1-2 night staying. The main thing is that photos on hostelworld/booking/etc. doesn’t fit with reality. So don’t expect too much.

Authentic Cretan hospitality & Unexpected Wonderful Sea View

Reviewed By chriscats2022

I got there by chance, meeting Stylianos a representative of authentic Cretan hospitality, convinced me to stay in a hostel for the first time in my life. I don't regret it at all. For only 25€ per night, I stayed in a separate bedroom of the flat on the first floor, it even had a nice kitchen which I used for cooking & enjoyed my meal at the veranda which has a surprisingly wonderful sea view, there is a bbq also. I visited Platanos village, "Mouraki" tavern with a spectacular view of Falasarna beach from above, breathtaking! Falasarna has all the beach bars & the sea is crystal clear, definitely worth visiting more than once! Balos lagoon is unbelievable & the most exotic place in Greece I have ever been, you should definitely visit by boat trip, Stylianos will take you to the harbor of Kasteli no charge! There are buses just in front of this hostel, you have easy access to everything. The owner is one of a kind, always there to help you with everything you want to know about the area & all the wonderful places around it, always with a smile, he will offer you limonchello & lots of useful advices. Kasteli (Kisamos) is the ideal place to get a room if you want to visit Balos exotic lagoon, Falasarna & Elafonisi (pink sand!!) because is the closest place there combining all the shops, taverns & restaurants. Staying in Kasteli gives you the chance to visit all those places more that once, something that you won't have the time to do if you stay in the city of Chania. I believe that Kasteli is a hidden diamond & in the near future it will have all the investments & the 5* hotels it deserves. I plan to visit again.

Reviewed By lindabG1743FL

These studios have everything you could possibly want, Great rooms, Great view and Great host. Out of all the places I could have chosen to stay, and there are many, I could not have chosen better. TASOS, the owner. cummunicated with me perfectly before we arrived, sorting our transfer and was there to greet us on arrival, taking us to our room and explaining how things work, free safe and air con ? the studios have a secure gate and I would feel very safe should I come on my own. TASOS is always around should we need help or advice. The studio has everything and more that u might need, mattress is firm, which we like, I suspect pillows and mattress new, spare pillow should u require. If u require anything that isn't already in the room, just ask, he will do his best. Parga is everything I hoped for and more if I come again, and I certainly will, Dallas studios will be my choice, thankyou TASOS ??
