I looooved the stay in this hostel!! Although I booked only 2 nights, I kept extending my stay for one week! The staff made everything perfect! Not only they create a great group vibe with different activities at night but they were also very friendly and interactive. I arrived very late in the first night and they found a strategy to provide me a way to access to my room (although the reception was already closed)

Unfortunately the location in a hill makes the access a bit difficult, even more at night when there is not so many transports. The cleanliness of the bathrooms could be improved.

Balcony has a nice view. Shower was always hot and is not hand held which was a bonus. Internet was great. Air Conditioner was good. We had no TV in our room. (but we new this when we booked) Stairs only to our room (no lift) but only 2 set of stairs at the most. Large Room. Safe and Secure. Clean facilties. Bed was comfortable and clean. Cooking facilities in our room are basic (no kettle to boil water) but enough in the kitchen to cook. Has Frypan. They also have a common area but we did not use this area as we had our own kitchen. Owner and Staff were helpful and happy to answer any questions. Very good communication with the owner regarding any questions prior to our arrival. Easy check in and out. It is a good 20 - 30 minute walk from the train station and some is up hill with your bags. Once you know where you are located the walk back to train/bus station would be quicker. Train and Bus services all leave from the same area. Location is good. To get to the water/port is about 15 - 20 min walk.

The location is very difficult to find and we found it quite challenging. There is quite a lot of uphill walking to do to get to the accommodation. No lift. Wanted to mention this in the review in case you were needing to know.

Clean and comfortable.Great value for price.Nice location in the upper town of Thessaloniki. The staff is really friendly-always there to help you

Always a pleasure to stay at Arabas. Had a lovely time staying in a room on my own for a couple of nights and getting the peace and quiet I craved. Much better than a hotel because you can meet nice people as well as getting your personal space.

Nothing was bad. Thessaloniki is wonderful and this is my favourite place.

The room is like a small apartment. You have a kitchenette with a fridge, sofa bed, table with chairs, a balcony to sit outside and even a TV if you really need one. The hostel is up on a hill in a very very quiet street. You will not hear any street noise. I do love the neighborhood - it has a village feeling. Check in and out was fast and painless. Staff is friendly, and the whole place is relaxed. It was quiet at night and in the day. You can chill on the balcony or downstairs in the small seating area.

The mattress in the bed was totally gone. I used the sofa bed the second night. So much better!

Great localisation and concept, staff is very friendly and helpful, relaxed atmosphere, curfew at 11pm which is amazing so you can get sleep, would stay again

Somewhat rigid check in policy, I was exhausted after my trip but had to wait 4-5h to check in although I offered to pay more

Super relaxed garden with outside cooking area, which they also clean regularly. The staff plays awesome music inside when I was there (jamming), but the garden is so big that you can sit anywhere and do your own thing. Its also situated beautifully just outside the city center. Just a super relaxed hostel! Wonderful volunteers working there also!

Very cozy environment, super friendly stuff and customers good who contribute in an alternative home like style. Totally worth it for someone to make new friends and meet new people, also worth it to go as a couple too since the place is 2km away from the center.

The place is a little hard to get by car in the final 100m but totally not a problem, everything is fine

Nice place, good sized room with everything you need. Staff seemed friendly although we didn’t spend much time in the communal areas so can’t really comment on the social aspects. Nice view of the sea and city when you overlook the abandoned building next door.

Quite far from the main city centre (about 20/30 mins walk) and at the top of a pretty relentless hill so we did a lot of walking! Kitchen in the room wasn’t as clean as I’d expect so I didn’t really want to use it. A kettle would have been nice if I’m being really picky.

Friendly atmosphere, good place for young backpackers. Friendly staff. Located in quiet neighbourhood. My room had a great balcony with chairs and table.

It is not near any bus stop, if you have big luggage it is inconvenient to walk uphill to the place.
