I have so many lovely memories from the hostel! The vibes are very chill and the hostel feels a bit unorganised because of it. Keep in mind that the kitchen there is not the best to use, so cooking was made uncomfortable. But I really recommend the place, because the work is easy and I really felt in home. Big thanks for having me! (Special hugs to Tam and Lorenzo!!)

I had such a fun time volunteering at the hostel! This was one of my first stops on a 6 month trip, and it was a great way to kick off the journey. The one and only thing I would say about volunteering here is do some reasearch! Myself and a lot of people I've talked to expected more beach access. The nearest beach takes 1.5 hours to get to on a bus. Be aware of that. The actual work is so simple. Just a little bit of cleaning the common areas, and checking people in. Honestly I spent most of my working time just chatting with people from all over the world. I would reccomend the hostel to anyone!

I had a great time at the hostel! The work was super chill and the hours were very flexible so you can do everything you want to do. Neil and Gülnur are incredibly friendly and make you feel super at home, and you get to meet heaps of people from all over the world, plus katya (the dog) is super friendly :) Thessaloniki is a very cool city with lots to do, and really good nightlife if that's what your looking for! Would absolutely recommend coming here, thanks the hostel <3

The hostel is a great place to volunteer. I really appreciate the time Guelnur took to train me on my responsibilities and was very supportive when I was working an a complicated situation arose. I told her I didn't feel comfortable dealing with it on my own and she immediately returned to the hostel to support me. The schedule tends to be flexible and you can often coordinate with the other staff or volunteer if there is something specific you want to do. The only thing I wish I knew ahead of time is that there is no kitchen to cook properly. Just a fridge, some dishes , and a kettle.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the hostel. Neil and Gülnur were wonderful hosts, the work flexible and not too challenging. The hostel is very comfortable and has a great variety of interesting guests. To anyone looking to live in the centre of Thessaloniki for a few weeks and meet some great people, look no further!
