I had an absolute great stay at the hostel! All the staff are super friendly & very helpful. The location is great as it's super close to everything. The rooftop bar had an amazing view of the city and was a great space to meet new people and socialize. I spent 5 weeks in the off season so the work was really laid back. Never had any issues with anything. The hostel itself is really clean and well looked after. Dorms are great. I always felt really safe and looked after. Shifts are well dispersed. Would definitely recommend to volunteer as it's the best hostel in Athens by far. Efcharistó!

I think this is the best hostel I've stayed in terms of infrastructure, whether as a guest or a volunteer. The room is shared but the beds themselves are more private and there are two bathrooms in the room, which prevents many conflicts. Everything is tidy and organized as well. I was well treated since day 1 by all staff and the work hours were fair and respected too. Everybody is aware of our role as volunteers and don't demand much of us, and that made me even more willing to contribute with my work. The location of the hostel is good too, next to the metro station. Good experience! ☺️

It was my first time on the program and I loved the hostel. The entire staff is very friendly, the tasks are simple, communication is fast and fluid. In addition, the hostel is very close to the center, so it is possible to visit several places just by walking. The other volunteers were also very friendly, the integration and good vibes are maintained. I loved the experience and I hope to return soon :)

I stayed at the hostel (central) I had a really great time! My stay was in Nov+Dec aka low season, so work was super easy, but even if there's a rush, your hours will be respected and you get a schedule, so It's possible to plan things:) Three things to note; 1) The location isn't the safest tbh, nothing happened to me personally, but you have to be aware in the area at night. 2) Even though the hostel is clean (yay), the kitchen and common area is quite worn out, would be nice with a bit of an update. 3) It would have been great with a room just for volunteers. Besides that, I recommend!

I had an okay time at Athen the hostel. Stam is welcoming, clear and accommodating of my needs. The hours and jobs were respected. I found that this volunteering position was missing real collaborative aspect with volunteers being separated in different (female only) dorms and having to share rooms with guests instead. Although the general atmosphere was social, without actual quality time spent together with other volunteers, it didn't feel very intimate. The staff rarely interacted with volunteers on shift and some made inappropriate comments about other guests/volunteers.

The schedule was sent out within a good time frame. You get to switch between helping at the bar for the night shift and then help in the kitchen in the morning. I liked the hours because it gave a great amount of time to explore & immerse yourself in the culture. Athens is HUGE so all that time was really needed. And the hostel is right next to the metro station. The karaoke nights at the hostel were so much fun, and such a great way to meet other people and have some fun. The only thing it that some of the workers weren't super friendly. But Shoutout to Anna, Georgia, Thanos & Nikiforos!!<3

The hostel was my first volunteer experience. The staff were very friendly and generally helpful. Our room was clean, and I worked four hours a day, either in the kitchen or at the bar. There was generally no work other than washing dishes. The chefs and Georgia are lovely people. Thank you for everything. I'll miss you :)

I had a great experience, but maybe you could specify in the description that the work only consists of dishwashing because I wasn't expecting it from the description.

They have two hostels, and I was in the hostel. This one is a new hostel with a gym, yoga room, cinema room, co-working space and shared kitchen. The food from their restaurant is pretty good. Normally they have morning, afternoon and evening shift. Each shift is four hours. They always respect the time which is nice. Our job is just washing dishes, please note that there is no bartending job. The job is easy here, but sometimes I feel confused because they don't really explain what I should do. And sometimes we have to share the room with guests. All in all, I had a good time there.
