YellowSquare Reviews
YellowSquare is more than a hostel; it’s an international community designed for travelers who want to connect, work, and hang out. Across our locations in Italy and Greece, we provide female-only dorms, shared dorms, and private ensuite rooms, alongside working spaces and daily activities. Definitely not a boring hostel. From working over a coffee to evening events in our venues, we create a active atmosphere where locals and travelers meet and make friends. Every YellowSquare is a gateway to the city, focused on social vibes and the right place to meet people.
The service was excellent, someone took my original bed (bottom bed) and the staff helped me and moved to another room to maintain the same type of bed. Also, it was easy to borrow and iron.
The rooms were clean, the storage space is big enough, and also the badroom was well equipped.
A brilliant hostel for solo travellers, I arrived here as my first stop on my trip and really appreciated all of the small details (free sanitary towels at reception, daytime and evening activities, discounts on drinks at the bar) as well as how the hostel is geared towards connecting people. The room was very spacious and the under bed storage was helpful. My one complaint would be that because the hostel is split across two sides of the street, it made it harder for me to access communal social areas like the kitchen, garden and other hang out spaces because hey weren’t directly in my building so felt a little too far to access easily. A communal lounge with sink and kettle in the D/E block would be brilliant! That being said, the bar area is great, I had a brilliant time at the karaoke event (even if our song never came up – would be good to maybe have a screen showing how many people have already joined the queue!) and thought it was a great space to meet new people. Staying here made the start of my trip so much easier, definitely worth the price and if I’m ever back in Rome, I will be staying here again!
Love it have activity u can cook in it
A good hostel, separate from the bar across the street so you don’t hear any noise. Also a quiet part of town that has a balance of restaurants and housing.
Amir was very kind and professional when he took care of us. The hostel is always clean and has a fun vibe. All guests are kind and polite too.
Yes it’s a bit expensive, but there is nothing I would change about this hostel. It has all the facilities, it’s clean. The beds are quiet and comfortable. Everything works. Great breakfast. Lively bar & fun activities. Perfect location.
Stayed for two nights and really enjoyed it! Location was great and I loved how many events there were going on, even though I only attended the karaoke night. Facilities were clean and in great shape.
I had a great time there, also the group activities were so interesting. It is a nice place to stay, definitely.
Best hostel experience I had! Everything is super clean, the beds are comfy, the common kitchen is spacious, and the rooftop bar is everything you need in the evenings!
Came for my birthday for a long weekend. Fantastic hostel, friendly staff, events and social stuff going on every day. Met some great people there. Good food and drinks, and an amazing big rooftop bar and terrace. Showers had strong water pressure on the 6th floor which was great.
Short walking distance to the Acropolis and other great Athens attractions. Tram ride gets you to the beach, or you can take the metro to the ferry port to visit some of the islands.
In general it’s a great place to stay. Loved the bar and their food, activities were good but the beds are super inestable and the bathrooms light was not working. also the shower is super small
The staff was friendly, the food was good (we had breakfast once). The facilities were good and the common space was lively and fun. We didn’t do any of the organized activities so I can’t speak on those. Overall we had a nice experience and I wouldn’t mind coming back someday!
As a solo traveller it can be a bit tricky choosing somewhere to stay that feels safe and just the right level of sociable. Yellowsquare ticks all the boxes: approachable staff, plenty of common areas, clean rooms and toilets and comfortable dorms.
This was 10/10 experience! The hostel was amazing in all aspects. I highly recommend it for anyone coming to stay in Athens!
Polite and welcoming staff and friendly guests
The hostel is very clean, everything is well organised
The place was clean, good environment and good activities
It was my first solo experience as a solo traveler and I was super comfortable! The room was big, there were many spaces to hang out and all the facilities were great.
Nice and tidy, clean and good looking! Rooms and beds was great, bathroom clean. Common area perfect for meeting people and staff was friendly and helpful:) The breakfast was good as well! Tram station is 2 minutes away and goes directly to city centre. Will definitely come back.
Good service, comfortable room, good food, and activities. The best hostel for my first solo trip.
The 4-bed room has a good size and a nice private bathroom. It’s great that the beds have curtains. The hostel itself has great facilities, excellent breakfast and an awesome schedule of entertainment at night.
I loved how clean everything was , multiple bathrooms , activities and fun community. Also so close to tram/ local market
This is the best place to stay in Athens, met so many people and the roof bar makes it so easy to socialise and make friends. I even had friends at other hostels who said they wish they had stayed at YellowSquare.
I didn’t even sleep in my bed. I slept in reception because i had a flight to catch and asked them to wake me up by 8am if my alarm didn’t work. They were understanding and nice
My friend and I enjoyed our stay. Hostel was very solid all around. The only thing was that there was pretty much nowhere to set belongings in the bathroom or in the room itself (save for a small desk and two small chairs in the room for 6 people), and this was frustrating because it meant having to place things on the ground or in precarious positions on what few/small surfaces there were.
I enjoyed my stay. The staff is kind and the hostel has a great vibe. The only downside was that the air conditioning wasn’t working, and it was quite hot during my stay. We were told the hostel was still in winter mode, which was confusing.
At first the people at the hostel were amazing, friendly and very helpful. Furthermore, the hostel had a clean, functional room in which everything was there what you could need. The location was great and only a 10 minutes walk away from Monastiraki square with its metro. Lastly, the rooftop was amazing to meet new people and to connect and maybe my highlight (literally) of the hostel. In other words: an amazing stay!
Stayed in a four person women’s dormitory. Visited Athens as a solo traveller. The rooms were comfortable and the location was from a walkable distance from town centre. Reception staff was polite. Hostel has a rooftop bar for hangouts, a gym and a workspace with good wifi connectivity. Would recommend for solo travellers or groups of 2-4.
It was my first time in a hostel, so i really liked it! The room was great, the bathroom was pretty good(i was expecting the worse) and everything was really clean. And i felt like in a movie while i was getting down from my room to the streets, so yes, i really liked. The bar is also really great, i made 2 new friends and discovered a drink that i love (yellow passion). Also, the mixology experience was a 10/10!
Stayed at YellowSquare Milan for a night, it was a good experience overall. I like that they provide bracelets for guests, also serve as a souvenir. Rooms are spacious and location is good.
Loved the roof top bar and the general vibe of the place, great music and even better drinks, the staff were lovely and different activities in each night.
everything was super cool and clean
The staff are do friendly and the common area is so lively and young. Best choice ever
The hostel is beautiful it has a lot of things that are really usefull, like the lookers and the washing machines, the free pasta at night
I visited yellow square Florence last year so I knew what I was getting myself into , in my opinion there are things that I liked at Florence better but i definitely like the staff better in Rome so sweet and caring they value you as a person not just as a guest . Room is clean and I am very very sensitive when it comes to hygiene so I really mean it. No complaints at all
Very nice place I’m booking different time milano this nice place people great cool reception 24 hours. Very nice thank see you next time
YellowSquare is so amazing right from the reception to the overall stay. The meals and bar top notch. It was fun all through.
One of the best places I have ever stayed. While Florence feel like a tourist trap in this hostel they offer u free water, dinner, events and a welcome drink.
Definitely the nicest hostel I’ve stayed in. Private double room was lovely, rooftop bar was great, events on almost every day, view of the acropolis was stunning!
