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.

The hostel is the perfect place to stay at in the center. The work is not hard at all and everyone working there was really nice and helpful. The hostel is not very big so it feels private and not overwhelming at all. I would definitely recommend this place for everyone who wants to explore Athens and meet some interesting people.

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.

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.

If you're looking to explore Athens this is the place to do it. Very the hostel location, walking distance from most major sights (including the Parthenon). The metro is nearby and there is plenty of public transportation for anything not in walking distance. The work was exactly as I expected and very simple. The people you meet are definitely the highlight of this hostel. I stayed for a month and overall enjoyed my time.

I really enjoyed my time in the hostel. I worked there for almost 40 days and I always felt respected, the staff is really kind and comprehensible, always willing to help if you need anything. Oh, and the location of the hostel is the best! The hostel is at the front of the national park and very near from Acropolis, Ancient Agora, Plaka, and other nice neighborhoods. I feel grateful to have had this experience and to have met such lovely people on the way. I surely recommend this volunteer position.
