City Circus Athens in Athens

I stayed in one of the private rooms with attached bath. The hostel is in a good location close to restaurants, cafes, squares, etc. About a 20-minute walk up to the Acropolois, ten minutes to Plaka, and ten minutes to Syntagma Square. It can be a bit noisy with revelers, scooters, etc. The room is very basic - no TV, no dresser, no closet, no coffee pot or hot water kettle, no mini fridge. Just a basic, small private room with a desk and bathroom. The bathroom is about 3 feet from the bed, so if you're staying in the room with someone, you'd better be comfortable with that. The hostel has nice common areas with generous freebies (filtered water, coffee, tea). The hostel does a good job of creating community by hosting nearly nightly events. Overall, a good option for lodging in Athens city center.

Very well located, a very quiet area close to the center with many restaurants and lively streets.
The facilities are average, the bathroom is excessively small, and the soundproofing of the windows is poor due to the busy area. Very pleasant and attentive staff.

Overall, it's OK. The room is OK, clean, and has air conditioning, but there are no curtains separating the beds. There is also a separate toilet and bathroom.

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.

I stayed a total of 4 nights!

I stayed in both the dormitory and the single room and it was great.

The single rooms fill up quickly so it's best to book early!

There's also a cafe in the hotel so you can relax and unwind!

The staff are all the best!

They were so kind and helpful ☺️

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.

Very good hotel, but the washing machine is broken
