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!

Staying at the hostel was an awesome experience! I was there for three weeks and really enjoyed my time. Gülnur is a complete sweetheart, she values your time as a volunteer and prioritizes your off days. The work hours are always respected and the work itself is extremely chill. I spent most of my time chilling at the reception desk and occasionally making a few beds. Gülnur and I had lots of great conversations and she is happy to share her knowledge about the area, we even did a few yoga classes together! :,) I went during off season so the city was quiet, but overall it was a good experience!!
