YellowSquare Reviews: Athens

Everything was excellent

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.

I enjoyed my stay in a wonderful hostel and city

Everything was perfect during my stay.Additionally,they have free luggage storage,1 free beverage,the terrace view is amazing-directly acropolis view.

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.

Clean, nice people, great rooms!

Subject: Thank You – Wonderful Stay at Yellowsquare Athens

Dear Yellowsquare Athens Team,

Thank you very much for your kind message.

I truly enjoyed my stay at Yellowsquare Athens. The atmosphere was vibrant, the facilities were clean and well organized, and the staff was welcoming and helpful throughout my visit. I especially appreciated the friendly environment and the relaxing common areas.

It was a pleasant experience overall, and I would be happy to recommend your hostel to friends and colleagues visiting Athens.

Thank you again for your hospitality. I look forward to staying with you again in the future.

Kind regards,
Dr. Dheyaa Tayyar

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.

We wanted to share one important note from our stay.

There was a “Free Palestine” sticker on the laptop at reception. Seeing it made us feel very uncomfortable and honestly unwelcome. Even if the intention is good, political messages in a shared hospitality space can make guests feel uneasy.

We are people who believe deeply in peace and humanity for everyone, and we sincerely hope the war ends soon and all suffering stops. For that reason, we kindly ask you to keep public guest areas neutral so all guests can feel comfortable.

Thank you for considering this.

Cute place and clean. But I booked less than 24 hours after my travelling companion and got charged about 50% more for a lower category (no attached bathroom) room which we thought was a little extreme as both of us booked directly via the website during low season (February). Other than that we had a good stay.

I am very satisfied with my experience at Yellowsquare Athens. The hostel is clean and organized, the staff is well-trained and helpful, the events had a nice vibe that kept you going and I really enjoyed the shared spaces, especially the co-working floor and the large kitchen.

I had a fantastic stay at this hostel in Athens! The location was perfect — close to the main attractions, restaurants, and public transport, which made exploring the city super easy.

Great location, clean, excellant breakfast, very helpful staff.

I highly recommend for travellers, the staff were very helpful. They tried to arrange activities to encourage other backpackers to get to know each other. Good menu options for breakfast and food throughout the day.

All god

I stay for 2 nights in the hostel. All super good.

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 😎

Everything was alright .

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.

Had a good time at YellowSquare Athens, room was spacious , had all the amenities. Location was close to the center, which is important as a traveler.
Would come again for sure!!

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.

The hotel very good brand new
Exlent location near for everything you want
the room very clean and modern
the stuff’s very friendly and helpful
i recommend any one wanna visit Athena

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.

Staff, security, comfort A++

Exceeded my expectations. The room as clean, the staff was so helpful and friendly, and the social events schedule were impressive even though we didn’t actually end up participating. Would definitely stay here again if visiting Athens.

Hostel was clean with comfortable bed, good showers and good breakfast options at reasonable cost. I had a private room as over 45 (30 years over) and it was equal to a hotel room. Rooftop bar and activities are a bonus. Location was great, within walking distance of metro, sites and restaurants

Thank you very much for helping me in a moment when I was feeling sick! You really went above and beyond.

Like always, YellowSquare offers great vibes and you feel like you belong among “strangers”. I would choose this place any day.

Nice, well-designed spaces with lots of coworking areas. The first floor is open all night and has good social vibes. Kitchen area was social, and there are many activities. Staff were friendly and helpful — even lent me supplies to fix a zipper.

Downsides: wifi was weak, the gym had no weights, and the kitchen and rooftop close too early. It can also get chilly at night.

Good, central location. The area has some abandoned buildings but felt safe. Bonus: lots of resident cats.

The staff are amazing and helpful! We really enjoyed our time there.
We did have one issue (not your fault at all) but our some of our food that was named for stolen/eaten from the fridge so I thought I would let you know about that. But that’s not on you.

Central location, well functioning desk, nice and simple room, silence at night and a great rooftop bar. When it comes to simply having a place to sleep, along with the opportunity to meet other people in the evenings, this was the best hostel I’ve been to.

It was a perfect stay ! Reception are really nice and smile ! The rooms are great, and the rooftop has the best view on the city !

Dear Yellowsquare team,

You are a great team, you always smile to the customers and always helpful.

Love you all, for sure I’ll come back, it’s a threat.:):)
Good evening and Merry Christmas to all!
