City Circus Athens

Our family of 4 stayed in a family room for 3 nights before a cruise. We planned to to be out touring all day and we just needed a clean, reasonably priced place to sleep in Athens.
Positives -
- The room was larger than expected - one section had a queen or a king bed, while the other section of the room had 2 twin beds. We had plenty of room. The room was not fancy but it was clean and more than met our needs. The cost of the room was very reasonable during the high summer season. We struggled to find rooms that would accommodate 4 people, so we we were very happy to find this one.
- The bath was split - one room had the shower, while the other room had the toilet which was convenient with 4 people getting ready.
- the air conditioning was very good. We visited during August and it was extremely hot outside. We all slept great in the room.
- there was a filter water tap for refilling water bottles which was convenient.
- the location was excellent- we walked everywhere. Metro station was close by. There were grocery stores within a 15 minute walk. The area came alive at night and there were lots of restaurants within walking distance.
- there is a kitchen and a fridge to store food. Food must be labelled. We placed some leftovers in the fridge one night and the next day, the box remained but it was empty- someone had eaten the leftovers. I can’t blame the hostel for the action of their guests.
- reception was very nice and always willing to answer questions.
Overall, we were very happy with our stay here! The hostel was everything it advertised itself to be.

It's a safe and friendly place! It's also very clean! The location is perfect! I only have one complaint with my room door, the lock was a bit noisy, but it can be quickly fixed with a little adjustment.

The best hostel I’ve stayed at so far! The location is excellent—right in the city center and in a pretty safe neighborhood, so you can enjoy a night out and return to the hostel without any stress (a big plus as a female solo traveler). The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with daily cleaning and very cozy beds. The common area was stylish and welcoming, and they offer plenty of activities, tours, and food options.
Would definitely recommend this hostel !

Ps : there is also a sweet little kitty living next door. He’s super friendly so if you could give him some pets that would be awesome ! He doesn’t have teeth so can’t eat solid food but he would absolutely love soft cat wet food ❤️

Fantastic place to stay for a couple of nights. Your own room with a private bathroom and shower, fresh sheets everyday if you want them, the reception was very nice and helpful, you can even keep your bags there if you are checked out but exploring the city. Communal living area and kitchen were a great perk and more amenities than we expected. Location is fantastic.

“My stay at City Circus was made unforgettable thanks to the wonderful Greek receptionist. From the moment I walked in, they greeted me with a warm smile and made me feel right at home. They were incredibly helpful, offering great tips on local attractions and ensuring I had everything I needed throughout my stay. Their friendly and welcoming attitude truly enhanced my experience, and I would definitely stay here again because of the exceptional service. Highly recommended!"

By far one of the best hostels I've stayed at! The staff are all incredibly friendly and helpful, willing to help/ show you around. The kitchen and shared spaces are all super funky, colourful and clean. The rooms are really nice, the mattresses are a cloud. Cannot recommend enough. THANK YOU!

I had a great stay here! The location was super close to a lot of major sights and restaurants, and the room was spacious and clean. The shower was also very nice. The only thing I would say is that the toilet was a bit smelly, but looked clean otherwise. Had a good area in the lobby for relaxing and an accessible kitchen. It was also nice to sit on the rooftop and relax as well. I felt safe as a solo female traveler.

Had our room ready early! So that was great as we were jet lagged. Had recommendations on where to go. For the breakfast, it was good but you can definitely go somewhere else to explore the city more (it is a seat-down rather than a buffet). They had things that you can do (wine tasting, bar hopping)!

Budget friendly option when in Athens. Good beds and nice roof top terrace. The noise from the bars few doors down can be loud. The breakfast that was served next door was amazing!
