Our Australian-owned and -run hostel is right in the heart of classical Athens, an up-market area that is safe, central and door-to-door from the airport by metro.

You'll have an amazing time here. There's always something on, from quiz nights, karaoke nights, special events, soup nights, daily walking tours and Happy Hours.

We've got a choice of large airy dorms and beautiful, new, private apartments. Our beds are always clean and the showers are always hot. There's ensuites and privates for all rooms.

On the rooftop bar, AB's famous Sheesha Bar, you'll get the coldest, cheapest beer in Athens, with happy hours every night and the best view of the Acropolis as the sun sets.

Our staff will make sure you get the bestout of your stay in Athens. This is a clean, professionally managed hostel. We also offer some great tours!

This is the best location around. We're beside the classical centre in a quality area with no dodgy back streets.
Prices are per person per night.

With the metro from the Airport or 'Pireas':
Take the new metro to 'Syntagma Square'. change to the red line and go one station to 'Acropoli'. take the metro exit on the right to Athinasios Diakou. walk down this street for 30 metres, turn left into Makri Street, we are 15 metres on the left...can't miss us!

With the bus:
Take the airport bus to 'Syntagma Square', jump on the metro (red line) and go one station to 'Acropoli', take the metro exit on the right, to Athinas Diachou, walk down this street 30 metres, turn left into Makri Street, we are 15 meters on the left.. you won't miss us.

Beware of pick pockets at airports, ports and the metro. Do not talk to 'officials' on the street, pretending to be tax, tourist or other authorities. It is a trick to rip you off or scam you. Just keep walking.
