City Circus Athens - Hostel

Amazing place with details made with love. Highly recommend and ask staff for recommendations! We came with a family for three. Great neighborhood to explore.

Stayed here two nights for my first ever solo trip and would recommend to everyone. I got a solo room which was clean and had just enough space. They had optional excursions, phenomenal location which is easily walkable to anywhere you would want to go. Lots of food within 5 minutes. Staff was great and held onto my luggage before check in and were always kind.

The staff were nice and helpful. They also had socialising and activities but as we were only there one night we didn’t go. The common areas were decorated with cool furniture and were quite spacious. The room had what we needed. They were kind enough to let us store our luggage and access it multiple times either side of our stay so we could see the city more easily. The area was very nice and had lots of outdoor cafes and restaurants. We walked to the Acropolis and other sight seeing.

The staff are friendly and helpful, they speak English. The entire place is clean and neat. The beds are comfortable. The only downside is the walls are thin and you can hear quite a lot of outside noise, so bring earplugs for sleeping if you want quiet. Breakfast is adequate, tasty, nicely served buffet style so you can pick what you want: breads with jams, fruits and vegetables, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, hard boiled eggs, sausages, bacon, other meats and cheese, 2 kinds of cereal (granola and some kind of flakes); orange juice, water, iced tea, coffee and black tea teabags offered for beverages. The kitchen is available after 11am. I only used the microwave to reheat leftovers so don’t know how everything worked, but it looked like a fully stocked kitchen. The common area is open to the dining area, bright and cheery. There is another separate common room that is quiet if you need to do work, The location is good, you can walk to most sightseeing in 10-30 minutes. The metro is about 6 minutes walk away and a 5-trip metro card was around 6€; other trip options were available. Bring your own towel or rent one for 3€. Bring your own lock for the room storage locker or rent one for 3€. Hand soap is in the toilet room but no towels. Bring your own toiletries for the shower. Water gets nice and hot for showers. Overall, a nice place to stay. I would stay here again.
