They say the gods are watching you. So let’s make it interesting: Athens is the board, and you're the player. We're sure you'll love getting lost in this amazing maze. Step in and play your game.
Our rooms
Private rooms
Who said that hostel only rhymes with “dorm”?
But if you’d rather enjoy an Olympian-style rest, no worries! Our private room is the best choice to sleep like a god!
More than just a dorm, a gallery of memories. A room to call your own, comfortable, practical, and budget-friendly! Get ready for a unique and fun experience! Oh, and you can sleep once in a while!
Everything starts at Zero (Bar)! Start with a coffee, stay to meet new people. Board games, Pictionary battles, DJ beats, and that karaoke moment you’ll pretend didn’t happen. Want to find the perfect aura? Then head to the RoofTop for an aperitivo, watching the sun hide behind the Parthenon!
Between myths and legends lies a city with a living soul, an open world ready to be explored. From wandering through ancient theaters to yoga sessions with a view of the Parthenon from all over the city. Our activities go way beyond the obvious. So, ready to unlock the hidden levels of Athens together?
Work and study in a space that brings people together from all over the world. From bloggers to engineers, from philosophy students to quantum physics geeks, this is the perfect place to snack on ideas, a hub built to get things done, or almost done.
Need more privacy or a booth call space?
Book your spot with us.
Loved the space and front desk staff! So helpful and welcoming. We received a free drink card and they offer food on the main floor! Atmosphere was really friendly with board games, seating and a wellness space! Kitchens were spacious and clean! Absolutely incredible visit, would definitely recommend. We even got our 4 person hostel upgraded to 2 private dorm by chance. The best way I can describe the place is a clean modern campus residence dormitory with a great atmosphere.

YellowSquare was great! The staff were kind and helpful. The bars there are great and well-priced and the rooftop terrace is fantastic. The social events were great fun and good for meeting others at the hostel.

The hostel is good in different aspects. The only disadvantage is the ventilation in the room has a room for improvement.

The building itself was nice and spacious, modern with many facilities, and the rooftop had a lovely and relaxed vibe. The location was great, well-connected, and I didn't have to take any public transport as everything was within walking distance.
The room was bright and clean, and it exceeded my expectations. The offer of toiletries and towels was a plus (it doesn't happen often).
The food was excellent, I was happy to have my breakfast included cuz it was a perfect way to start the day.

We stayed in a private room with two beds and it was really great. Colours were less vibrant than in the pictures but it wasn't too different. The ensuite bathroom was good, especially the huge sinks.

Really lovely hostel, with great benefits (welcome drink, rooftop bar, discounted drinks, activities, great location). The only downside was the noise really.

I spent two weeks in Athens working remotely and had a really great experience. This was absolutely the right location for me. The property was very clean, the amenities were excellent, and everything felt thoughtfully designed for longer stays. I truly had a wonderful time and would 10/10 recommend this place — it was so worth it.

Really enjoyable night. Staff were very helpful and friendly. I did get told I was too old for a dorm though 🤣. No problem as I upgraded to a private room with a bathroom still reasonably priced. Will definitely stay again but when it's a bit busier so I can really make use of the top bar. Thanks YellowSquare staff 😎

We’ve stayed at the Yellowsquare hostel for a week and it was great. Everyone behind the reception and bar is really kind and helpful. The rooms were clean and new, and even soap en shampoo were provided. The zero bar was a nice place to have a drink and meet new people, or to grab a quick bite. Moreover, the location of the hostel is great. All around are great bars, restaurants and it’s next door to the market hall.

If you’re a solo backpacker wondering “Will I actually meet people here?” — the answer is YES, and Moe and Markos are a huge reason why.
Moe at reception is an absolute legend. He runs the front desk like a pro, even when it’s packed with arrivals, questions, and chaos. He’s amazing with people, keeps the vibe friendly and organized, and somehow remembers everything and everyone. Need tips, help, directions, or just a friendly face after a long travel day? Moe’s got you. He makes you feel welcome from the second you walk in — which is huge when you’re traveling alone.
And then there’s Markos behind the bar… wow. Not your average hostel bartender at all. This guy seriously knows his mixology and makes some of the best cocktails I’ve had on the road. The bar instantly becomes the social hub thanks to him — great drinks, great energy, and the perfect place to meet other travelers without it feeling forced or awkward.
Because of Moe and Markos, this hostel feels less like a place to sleep and more like a little community. If you’re backpacking solo and want good vibes, good people, and unforgettable nights, this place delivers. Would 100% stay here again.

Amazing!
I travelled with a friend. Our room was clean, and cleaned every day.
We received welcome drinks at the beautiful bar with view of the acropolis
And they have free interesting events happening all week to get to know people!
staff/volunteers there were super nice and we had great conversations with them.
Only downside is its in a slightly dodgy area, and the kitchen was a bit dirty when I used it

It has a beautiful view, and all the staff are extremely friendly and efficient, not to mention the unbeatable location, which is very central and close to all the tourist attractions.
