YellowSquare Reviews: Athens

perfect in everything

Amazing place

Amazing hub for events in all of Athens, not only for the guests!

Clean facilities, amazingly kind & helpful staff with fun activities whats not to love. RECOMMEND 💯

Perfect location, fun atmosphere, and friendly staff. My favourite part was the amazing view from the rooftop and the balconies! Also, the breakfast was delicious with big portions. The beds have lots of privacy, with a curtain and safe for valuables. My only complaint is the bathrooms were very stinky. Everything else was amazing.

Very Stinky

The whole energy place was so welcoming and really leaned into the social aspect of a hostel. It made it feel almost like summer camp but for adults getting to know new people from all over, sharing new experiences and playing drinking games.
I would recommend this place to anyone who’s looking to make some friends in a safe and homey environment.

Best hostel I’ve been honestly. Four different places to hang out, games, Safes to keep valuables, big lockers, lovely sturdy bunk beds with privacy curtains, soap in showers, free earplugs, cleanliness – such luxury! and just such a social atmosphere. Everyone is looking for a friend, the staff are amazing. I didn’t want to leave!!!!!

YellowSquare Athens was in a prime location, and made it very easy to see many places I’d planned on going throughout the city without having to travel too far. The staff were helpful and friendly, the room was clean, and the boarding cost was extremely affordable. I hope to find myself back in Athens soon, and I definitely plan on staying at YellowSquare again!

Amazing hostel with a really welcoming atmosphere! It has a cosy vibe and is a great place to meet people from all over the world. The beds are comfy and provide plenty of personal space. Everything was clean, especially the bathrooms, and it was a nice bonus to have free shampoo and shower gel. We also loved the view of the city from our room. The rooftop bar was one of our favourite spots, with affordable cocktails and a fun, social atmosphere. The only small downside was the service at the bar, which could be a little slow. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this hostel to others!

Best Location! The Yellowsquare made my time in Athens simply awesome. The STAFF. WOW. Nicest and kindest/most helpful people ever (shoutout to Marianna – Jon and all the Italians haha). So clean, great rooftop and activities, I have not 1 bad thing to say. Rooms are great – showers are great – laundry service is near as well.

My experience about the property was so great and I really enjoyed my stay, the facilities were amazing and the people were friendly.

Very clean and Higenic…
Staff is so polite and helpful..
Very good hospitality
Fully recommend.
Affordable prices

The location in Athens Greece was very good. We walked to all of the famous sites. The room had a balcony facing a building- that was a plus, the rooftop bar had a good view of the city and the cost was affordable. Those are the only positives we could think of.
I didn’t realize I booked a shared bathroom room until we got there, that was a major issue. All of the negatives (too many to list) didn’t get us down because we enjoyed the city, people and food.

This was a nice property! The dorm rooms are nice, but was not aware it was only one bathroom per room, not just communal bathrooms. Overall a good experience.

The staff wasn’t really helpful at all. I was expecting something better than being rude.

Large beds, lockers, fun vibes on the rooftop, ithis is a great hostel.

Had a really nice stay there. The beds where phenomenal and the building itself was cool.

Easy to find, great location!

The neighborhood was noisy tho

We stayed for two nights during our visit to Athens in a four-bed room. We received a fantastic welcome; the rooftop terrace is great, and the location is excellent too. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, friendly, and affordable place!

I am 65. My wife and I had a double room. Our 2 adult children and 1 of their partners shared a 4 bed room. It was really great! Clean rooms; comfortable beds; friendly staff; central location; delish breakfast. And……as it was a Saturday there was a party on the roof with views of the Parthenon

The hostel is freaking amazing! Great atmosphere and a fantastic place for travellers to enjoy themselves and meet new people. ☺️

For the price I paid it was the cleanest and private hostel while also being perfect for meeting people
I stayed in a 4 bedroom for girlies only and we had our own bathroom, i’ve never seen something so private for so affordable
the location was insane
they have an amazing rooftop
just be aware that they might be doing some night and it could get a bit loud but i slept totally fine

Good people and a comfortable space.. perfect location

Honestly the best! I wouldn’t choose any other accommodation whenever I come to Athens. It is my first visit to Athens and I couldn’t be more happier than finding Yellowsquare Athens. Everything was smoothly handled, the check in and welcoming faces were perfect, very helpful. I got upgraded instantly without even asking for it which is nice and the perfect to Yellowsquare. The beds were clean and spotless, with daily cleaning service provided. The coffee and the breakfast were fantastic too specially the cappuccino is my favourite coffee to start the day with chocolate croissant. The top roof has the best view for acropolis too. The location is also perfect close to all the main sites and markets. With a daily 17k steps around Athens, Yellowsquare is the perfect place to rest in the night with good sleep. Call it 10/10 or 5 star hostel/hotel.

I haven’t stayed in a hostel in years, but i might need to start considering it again… or at least plan my trips around yellowsquare locations. The staff has been EXCELLENT, they’re really there to be helpful and it shows. The rooms are clean and the beds super comfortable. The food was also excellent! I really appreciated how the kitchen was flexible with dietary needs and everything was so fresh. 10…/10 will be back here again 🙏💜

They “upgraded” me to a ensuite dorm room, which i didnt want. There was black mold growing in the shower, thankfully have a fan but the fan was covered in dust and lint, it didnt look like they ever tried to scrub a shower. I checked the other bathrooms on the first floor and all had black mold growing in the wall and bottom of the corners the showers. Dont recommend this place if you dont want to sick..

Very good location, excellent water pressure, beds were great and the roof top bar and view of the Parthenon were the HIGHLIGHT of this hostel / hotel. Stellar authentic Greek food 100 yards away. Do not pass this up. What a great place to enjoy Athens!

Amazing hostel & perfect location . Of course i will try it again . They have a roof top with perfect view over acropolis

The room was lovely and well done for the price point, the staff were impeccable. But what really sets this place apart is its location and the roof top view of the Acropolis. Very good drinks great vibes and made for a perfect evening

The room is neat, the workers are really nice and respectful ( even cleaner)

Unreal

I really enjoyed my short stay at the hostel, the view of the rooftop bar is amazing. The room was clean, the bathroom could have been a bit cleaner. The thing I could think for improving is the location (which it is a bit hard to improve). During the day it was okay to walk around, but at night and by myself (woman) I felt a bit unsafe. I’d say I had to walk around 2/3 minutes before I was in a place I felt a bit safer.

Rooms stayed clean and bathrooms. Roof top was awesome. Maybe a little more youth hoses I hade some older people and felt a little weird.

Amazing stay! Very friendly and welcoming place with great positive vibes. The location is perfect and everything was super clean and nice. Had a really great time and would definitely come back again ❤️

A fantastic hostel for anyone travelling. Social scene is great with the rooftop bar and activity each night. If you want to chill, that is fine. Decent breakfast. Each bed has its own safe and an area to put some belongings which I find helpful. One bathroom per room is brilliant. Overall very good

First of all, the hostel itself was great. They offer luggage storage, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and they even upgraded my room, which I really appreciated. The rooftop also has a beautiful view of the Acropolis at night — absolutely gorgeous.

However, unfortunately, I had a really unpleasant experience during the night. One of the roommates seemed to have brought someone into the dorm. They were talking very loudly on the balcony in the middle of the night, apparently thinking that nobody inside could hear them. Talking loudly was already disturbing enough, but then they started having sex and making a lot of noise. It was already past 3 a.m., yet they continued without any consideration for the other guests who were trying to sleep. They even came back into the dorm and continued there.
Honestly, I found this extremely disrespectful and inconsiderate. If you want to do something private, please book a private room instead of doing it in a shared dorm and disturbing everyone else.

What a “lucky” experience to have encountered this during my stay… 🥲

Very clean and affordable hostel with loads of social space. Kitchen could really do with a few more bits (there were very few spoons, no bowls etc and some smelly moldy food left).

i stayed 5 days and i liked the hostel very much. The rooftop, staff, cleaning and the environment were amazing
