Bedbox Hostel

Wonderful, feels like home but better! To be honest, I’ve truly had the most wonderful time while staying at this hostel. Travelled around the world quite a lot, but this hostel is outstanding. The staff working here turn the place from pretty amazing into incredibly wonderful. Was welcomed so warmly by Maria and immediately felt like home. She’s the loveliest, the funniest as well, she just has something special. Also Ntina who’s there mostly in the morning is so sweet and helpful, and with Saeed who’s working night shifts we’ve had the most entertaining conversations when laughing our asses off. About hostel facilities: everything is very clean, showers are having great water pressure and are so nice and warm, lockers are huge and super convenient, beds have curtains for privacy, the kitchen’s got everything you need, there’s 24/7 reception so you’ll feel safe all time and the hostel is perfectly located in between food spots and sights, without disadvantages like noise, it’s super peaceful. The hostel is not a party place, but it’s extremely social. And btw, if you like karaoke, ask Saeed. If you like Jenga, ask Maria. Even though the hostel says it serves no “breakfast”, every morning in between about 8-11 AM they offer you free coffee, tea, biscuits and cake, which I think is lovely. Not a single bad word about his hostel, it’s just amazing. When I come back, and after this experience I definitely will, I will for sure stay here again! And if you wanna have the best Athens experience, I would like to advice you to do the same. :p

It’s my favourite hostel in Athens, coming here for the second time and definitely will come again. Location is great! Close to metro, but at the same time in ore quiet neighborhood. It’s easy and convenient to get around the city. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Every bed has a curtain, which gives a perfect privacy, and all necessities, like a socket, bed lamp, and a storage box with a key locket on it. Big balcony, the fav part of the room. Great place to chill or have a morning coffee. Staff is absolutely amazing, very friendly and helpful! Every one of them, was a great pleasure to chat🤍

- The staff was very friendly and helpful. I felt like home. - Everything in the room, kitchen, and toilet was clean, I never felt disgusted or anything. - The kitchen was amazing. It has everything you need to cook even complex meals. You could take some sauces, seasonings, cooking oil, and other stuff for free since it was of common use. There were a lot of utensils in good condition. - They had hot water and I could shower easily. The towel rent is 2€ and it is big enough. Toilets have hangers and shelves, so you can put your things easily. - The room had lockers that were quite big and free. You could put a suitcase there even. Maybe 1-1.5 x 0.5 m in size, not sure. There also was a trash can, AC, mirror, hangers, etc. - My bed was the upper one and climbing there was easy, steps were comfortable. There was a shelf, socket, and lamp near the bed, very satisfying!

WiFi, air conditioning, shared bathroom for floor (only two dorms) were always available to use with three showers and three toilets. Light in bunk, curtain in bunk for privacy. BIG lockers (and they provide a lock for it!) which accommodated not only my backpack but also my carry-on luggage. There were two chairs and a full-length mirror in my dorm. Very secure with 24-hour reception staff. Some free drinks at reception! Coffee available for purchase at reception. There was a delicious pound cake in the kitchen area to enjoy when I was there. Nice kitchen, not too far from express bus X95 stop at Syntagma Square (express bus from airport, 5.50 Euros, easy to purchase ticket at airport. Easy to purchase X95 ticket at Syntagma Square bus stop for return to airport if needed - bus ride is approximately one hour to/from airport). Hostel is also close to Monastiraki metro stop (around 9 Euros from airport).

Location was really fantastic - right in the middle of the main area of Greece. Felt extremely safe. The hostel had a lift. Kitchen was okay - we managed to cook once (it wasn’t the best equipped kitchen ever but it was manageable).
