Well run hostel. Climatisation, patio, basic but sufficient breakfast, very pleasant and helpfull staff. Free map of Athens. Super comfortable beads, well designed room. I did miss free wine - I was away at the time, but must have been great:). Did like the decoration, especially friendly giraffe and the plants in the patio. Very clean. Courtain to seclude the bed would be easy done and very appretiated addition (I did improvise my own and was happy with that). Location pretty good, but still some walk to the center. Incredibly quiet. Woud be happy to use again.

Arrived close to midnight - as well as several others, so it took about half an hour to get checked in.

This hostel has the main advantage of the location! My priority was to have decent place connected to metro, not too expensive, since it was a short stay. One of the best assets are staff, everyone is excellent, Kosta in particular, and the girl, curly dark hair, I don't know her name. Beds are fairly comfortable, you will have good sleep.

But of course, there is always room for improvemet. For Nubian hostel, I would say, lavatories are kept clean in common areas and shared bathrooms, which is great, but my oppinion is, it should be same in rooms with private bathrooms. Evetything else is great!

The staff is amazing, the space is super cool, and the breakfast is good. I particularly love the option of having games to play and a daily event for the people at the hostel. I even got a date with a person who was staying there as well. Of course, the biggest highlight is that staff bring their dogs to stay in the hostel during the day. Amazing place!

I can't say it was bad, but I'm a midsize woman and the bathroom was really small for me. The shower was good, but if I were a little bigger I wouldn't fit inside it. Just a recommendation to other midsize women who book the female dorm!

Beautiful hostel located in the student district of Exarcheia. Conveniently located for the "Panepistimio" subway station for those who want to use public transportation but also for those who'd rather walk: places of historical and artistic interest are about half an hour's walk. The staff is friendly and helpful in giving any information you need. Cleanliness is good, beds extremely comfortable with a power outlet and a lamp next to them. Locker and sheets are included in the booking, the breakfast is minimal but enough, and the common areas are very welcoming and comfortable. Overall, excellent value for money. Highly recommended for backpackers and others :)

It’s located around a 20 min-walk from Syntagma, which is indeed awesome to take any kind of transportation, and 25/30 min-walk from the Acropolis and other sites. The area is really nice, there are bars and restaurants, also the supermarkets are super close. The staff is really nice and friendly, and always ready to help you or give you useful tips. The reception works 24 hrs, which is nice if you arrive later than expected.

There is no laundry within the hostel, and the wifi in the area hasn’t been working quite good lately so the connection inside wasn’t great. I hope it gets solved!

Location. It is superb - close to local delicious restaurants (one we dined in is just around the corner), close to city center, close to all Athenian attractions (15-30 minutes of walking distance). Room as well as common area were clean throughout our stay, friendly staff that explained the sorroundings, and in general were very helpful. I widefinitely recommend Nubian Hostel.

It WAS NOT hostel's fault - some kids decided at 2am they're the only ones in hostel and started shouting and laughing out loud (that I didn't like). Luckily hostel staff dealt with that in few minutes (that I liked very much).

Service-we were welcome with a smile. The receptionist was very helpful and welcoming. We got a tip for a good Greek restaurant and it was 100% enjoyable. We felt we are in a right place. We were able to leave our luggage upon check out. This was very helpful, since our plane departed hours later. There was a simply, basic breakfast- good enough to fill you for another hour or two. Nice surprise-evening "happy hours". Having separate room/shower was also a plus. The neighborhood looked a little run-down-but full of young people in non touristy area. It reminded me NY So-Ho.

Unfortunately, at evening when we were coming back from walking there was a problem with a sewage on a street. It stank although the crew was trying to contain and clean it.

Friendly atmosphere, great location, staff is very helpful with advice and recommendations, very nice clean room with a very comfortable bed, the hostel is cozy and beautiful with open air area and close to restaurants and bakery and walking distance with a lot of great sight seeing places

Our room did not have a source of sun or fresh air because the windows overlook the backstairs although it was a very nice room almost like a suite with a desk outside and separate bathroom and bedroom, the breakfast is very basic (cereals and single serving jam and toast)

The room was very comfortable, the location was near the train station (10 min walking), from the station that leads you the airport was also very easy to get there. From the center of greece, the main atraction Acropolis, Plakas neighborhood was like 15-20 min in train/bus. The staff is very friendly and kind. They give me recommendations. it’s a great place also for meet new people around the world, they make a wine night every day that was a very nice activity. I definitely recommend this place!

probably the bathroom, even is clean, can gets a little messy, so i will recommend put some towels or something for clean the floor.

I'm actually Nubian, so this hostel mean something special to me. Everything is perfect, the location is nice near from many restaurants and cafes. the dorms are clean and with power socket and light in each bed and with nice terrace. the breakfast is good, and they have a happy hour every day. the amazing staff specially Gustantinos, when he knew I'm Nubian he start to tell me the history of the building and end up giving me a gift.
