Wonderful hostel in a great city. Neil and Gülnur are both super nice and make you feel at home in the place. Hours were a bit more than in the posting, but the work was easy and enjoyable. Recommend to everyone. Thanks!

I had such a great time at the hostel! The hosts Niel and Gulnur were both so amazing and accommodating. The hostel is super spacious and very clean, and the rooftop terrace was such a highlight for me. I would absolutely go back or recommend this to a friend :).

I had a wonderful time at the hostel :)! The two owners are super friendly. The work is very flexible and enjoyable, and the hostel is very beautiful and quite spacious. I highly recommend Thessaloniki as a city, especially for young people, as it is an extremely vibrant city with many options for going out during the week and on weekends.
