"Amazing people, great location, place is brand new. Jacuzzi and rooftop terrace is lovely. Maria is awesome!
If it is full or close to full, it can be 20 people sharing 2 showers. Downstairs private suite shares bathroom with men’s dorm and is adjacent to smoking area, which is not ideal. Doorbell rings many times through the night. Just things to know. Uber is $50euro from airport. "

I cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience here was. My adult son has restricted mobility and the staff were so helpful. From reserving a parking spot in front which is not usually possible to helping us in and out of the hotel every time. Nothing was too much trouble. The location is great for all the central sites via a pedestrian walkway to the Acropolis etc. 20 minute walk with wheelchair. Our room with a view over the Temple of Zeus was lovely.

I got a private room to myself and it was really big and spacious, especially with the bathroom. However, the water from the shower goes everywhere and doesn’t drain well. If you leave it overnight it mostly does.
I liked the retro arcades available and is within walking distance of plaka and pysri which are the main hubs. There is a bbq place opposite which is cheap and good food if you need something to eat.
They came to clean the rooms but not sure what they did as the towels were not...

Fantastic find. We had everything we needed for our stay with our 14 year old son. We had reservations about the area and the walk into the centre of Athens but we shouldn't have worried. The walk through the park to the historical centre is a lovely way to start/end the day. If you don't fancy the walk, why leave the area. Definitely stay close to the residence for dinner and/or an evening drink. It's much cheaper than the centre, and the food and drink options are so much better.

Staff at Mosaikon hostel were very welcoming and helpful, they allowed me to store my luggage at the hostel a few days in advance whilst I traveled out of Athens. They were also really welcoming and gave me lots of suggestions of what to do / where to eat.
The hostel is modern and very clean, however, I was in my dorm when housekeeping came. I noticed she did not replace the sheets of the people that had checked out and just tucked them in and folded the blanket provided.
Aside from that,...

We stayed one night either end of a trip to the Cyclades, and this was the perfect base for a flying visit to Athens both times. In a great location close to Parthenon by metro and in walking distance of the restaurants we wanted to visit. Also staff were efficient and helpful, room was immaculate and exactly as advertised - functional and air conditioned!

We never had to wait to use the bathroom facilities. The place felt quiet and well looked after. Any questions I had before my stay were responded to quickly. Overall we were very impressed and found the location great. Breakfast was adequate too so for a reasonably priced stay in Athens this is an excellent...

A dream team always helpful and friendly. As a hostel and good value of money, I didn't have high expectations. Believe it or not, I have been around the UK in many hotels with 3-5 stars but didn't find this excellent customer service or so clean and tidy room every single day.
The hostel is literally in the heart of the city centre within 5 min walk for Plaka. With the train and underground 3 min walk from the hostel, you can explore Athens and many places.
