26 Amalias & Jasper café

Our hostel is in the heart of Athens. Our neighbor is the Parliament house and the area has the highest security in the city. On the other side of the street you have the main entrance of the Zappeion park. All historical landmarks within 5 minutes walking distance.

We have 8 rooms, all with windows to the backside garden or the front with city view. Newly renovated (Apr-June 2024) and café/bar project is ongoing and estimated to be finished in September 2024. As a volunteer you will help out with daily duties such as cleaning and steaming of beds, and reception tasks, about 4 hours per day with 2 days off per week

I had a very sketchy roommate and he was very rude. He made me and another very uncomfortable. We tried to speak to the owner about our concerns but she didn’t do anything. She said we couldn’t get another room which is fair but when I left earlier than expected the man got his own room. It felt like our concerns didn’t matter and I couldn’t sleep well at night.

The work experience was good, with calm hours and tasks. Julieta, a team member, was very helpful. Although the project wasn't what I initially applied for, Sevasti was transparent about the change. The main issue was living with a difficult fellow volunteer, an older Greek man, who contributed little and was rude, even invading personal space. Despite communicating with Sevasti, no real changes occurred, leading another volunteer to leave early. While things slightly improved, better communication beforehand would have helped.

I felt at ease and had my space throughout my time volunteering. Sevasti, the owner, was very kind from the beginning, making me feel very welcome. The chores are quick and simple. I worked with Juliette, who is the woman who does the cleaning, It was a pleasure. She treated me like her daughter and we had fun while we were doing the chores. Thank you, Sevasti. I got to know a lot about Greece.

Nice place if you only prioritize location, right next to the Acropolis. The work is done very quickly and you have a lot of free time.
Sevasti is nice and very understanding! Thanks

A quiet, centrally located place, but small with no activities at the hostel itself. I stayed during renovations, so there were few rooms available, making it seem very empty. I was often woken by the owner yelling, which felt disrespectful. There was no communication about exact start times. The kitchen is inadequate to prepare a full meal. The bathroom has gaps, the door doesn't lock, and it's uncomfortably small. The owners are not unpleasant, but the renovation period likely impacted their communication. Overall, not recommended for those seeking comfort or social connections.
