YellowSquare Reviews: Athens

The perfect place to stay if you want a social and fun hostel. Facilities are great and very complete, there are a lot of social areas and everything is very clean. I work remote and they have a co-working space (wifi needs to be improved). Rooms are spacious and hostel policy is enforced. The only thing that could be better is the location, since it’s not in one of the best neighbourhoods but it’s a 4 min walk from a very busy square.

We had a private room, and was able to sleep, explore the city, and chill at the hostel to decompress. Really enjoyed the time there.

Everything was great. The hostel is well thought out and has many small things that improve the overall comfort and quality of the stay.

The check in/check out procedures are smooth and informative. Free, convenient, or affordable services offered make this stay very comfortable.

The events and quality facilities enhance the stay. I would definitely stay again.

The hostel is new and modern, and the staff is extremely nice. Thank you for being so helpful!

Great hostel with a smooth check-in experience. The staff are friendly, easygoing and do a great job running the show! Our bed was comfortable in the private room.

Yellow square is the kind of hostel you dream of! Clean, great location, super helpful staff. It’s worth it to pay a little more for the free breakfast! The rooftop bar is… perfection!

Bed was horrible. Room 410.
Felt broken but checked underneath and saw it was just super saggy.
The area didn’t feel safe at night, so we didn’t feel comfortable walking at night.
No option for day use or late checkout so paid full price to check out at 20:00. Bummer

I have stayed and worked at the Yellow in Rome and Florence and the one in Athens feels exactly like a Yellow should feel. Social, lively and comfortable!

Amazing place to stay, great location and lovely activities to help socialising. The bar is amazing, what a fab rooftop for sunset and views over the acropolis. Really enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend.

The hostel is at a great location in Athens. Our room and the bathrooms were clean. The disappointing part was you have to check out before 11am but our room wasn’t ready till after 5pm so we had to just wait around till it was, they gave us a coffee and a juice while we waited. They gave us a welcome drink at the rooftop bar which I would highly recommend for the views.

I really enjoyed my stay, the location is perfect and the hostel is friendly and very clean. I liked that it had a co-working space, a nice size community kitchen and the roof top was a great bonus. I stayed in a 4 person women only dorm, it was quite nice – had it’s own bathroom, it was clean, the beds were comfortable andmy roommates were friendly. Something I didn’t like is that not all beds had curtains (those that had were super loud) and also the lockers were extremely loud and placed right next to where our heads are when we sleep.

Nicer than your average hostel, the rooftop bar was amazing! Also good spot to make friends

I messed up my booking and that lovely women went beyond and above to find sth for me even though they very fully booked. I got a more expensive stay for the cheaper price in the end. Clean, convenient, curtains, sockets and lights in every cabin, huge kitchen, very nice roof top bar, nice evening program, price more than reasonable

The rooms were fantastic, all equipped with lockers, private bathrooms and outlets in bunks. I booked an all girls 4 person room and enjoyed every aspect. They provide towel service for 1.5€ and unlimited refresh. I would 10…% recommend this for an upcoming visit. Also, location is very close to Athens center.

The rooftop view was a highlight, very clean and modern, with lots of activities. My only suggestion would be some more comfortable seating areas to socialise rather than just working tables.

Enjoyed my stay here. The people were nice and the location was great – a 10 minute walk from the city centre. The building was very modern and the facilities were nice, especially the rooftop bar. My only criticism was that the bathrooms were designed poorly, in a way that let lots of water leak from the shower to the rest of the area (there was no door just a partition) and had no real ventilation except for a tiny window, which meant there was standing water which attracted mosquitos. After getting bitten on the first night I used repellant and it was fine after.

Everything was amazing! If I come to Athens again, I will definitely stay at this hostel. It was spotlessly clean and very spacious. The rooftop view was stunning. Thank you for everything!

Probably the best hostel experience I’ve ever had. 🙌🏼 Very good, clean facilities, super attentive and helpful staff, and the rooftop bar on the top floor is undoubtedly the best place in the building, in my opinion. Perfect view of the Acropolis. The only thing that isn’t so perfect is the location, in a slightly dangerous area that, especially at night and for women, can seem a little “dangerous,” but I think that’s just another aspect of the city of contrasts that is Athens. Highly recommended!

Very nice hostel with good amenities. Nice staff, good program options every day. Love the rooftop!

Not the safest area of Athens but good location in order to reach the center by foot and discover Athens walking. Metro and bus and a big supermarket are also close by.

Check-in was a pain, unable to book a bed in person, I needed to go via the website which was glitching. The dorm room I was assigned was full, so I had to go back to recpetion to switch rooms. Facilities were adequate, but bathrooms starting to be dated with mould/grime. Everything advertised about YellowSquare has the vibe of fun and personal, and does not translate to the feeling of staying there. The rooftop view was stunning. This place is perfectly adequate for a short stay.

Checked in into my room only to find the shelf I was assigned (corresponding to my bed number) was already taken and was locked. So I thought somone must have messed up which happens in Hostels all the time so I kept my luggage into the only closet that was available thinking rest three must have already checked in and taken the sheves. Now the person who was assigned the bed that had my shelf number checked in and not finding his shelf empty must have asked the reception to break my lock. They broke my lock and conveniently took my luggage downstairs without leaving a note and the morning I was checking out, was left frantically looking for my luggage. Apparently somone had taken two shelf spaces. Understand that shelf was needed by the person who was assigned the corresponding bed but they could have been “mindful enough to leave a note”

It is the best hostel I have ever been, because It has everything, form coworking place and roofbar, breakfast, reception is open 24 hours, you can rent a towel, they thought every detail for digital nomads.

By far the best showering and toilet facilities in the room of any hostel I’ve visited. The rooftop bar had incredible views. The bed was comfy and there are lockers and safes in the rooms.

We really enjoyed staying here. The beds were comfortable, the shower was refreshing after a long day of travel, and we especially loved the free drink on arrival at the rooftop bar, with a spectacular view of the acropolis! Not to mention the groove vibe and convenient location. We also loved how eco friendly it all was. Would definitely stay here again 🙂

The hostel is large and well equipped and well thought out.

Very nice atmosphere and good vibes, very good location, clean, and spacious room.

The hostel in Athens almost feels like a hotel. Very new and clean, the beds are so comfortable. And the rooftop, the vibes and the view are just amazing. The rooms even have big balconies. You get a free welcome drink and afterwards a discount on everything else you order. You can also leave your luggage after checking out so thats great as well. The only thing – in room 502 the positioning of the lockers is a bit awkward. There’s three beds right next to two lockers and you always have to wait for each other to finish taking their stuff out before you can access it. It’s be better if the room had two bunks and lockers in the middle but it is what it is. Still an incredible place to stay and I’d book it again.

The cleanest and friendliest hostel I have stayed at. There is plenty of space with lockers for valuables, separate from the regular ones. They have curtains which give you privacy in your bed. Clearly a lot of money was invested into new and solid furniture and amenities. The staff hired by the hostel clearly work hard and make sure that everyone gets a pleasant experience.

There is such a vibe in this hostel.
From the people working there, they make you join the groups and make friends.
Receptionist are friendly, and there is always someone in there which is good.
The rooms are ok, it’s well located and it’s clean.
Will book again in other country it’s sad they don’t have it everywhere.

We stayed in a 4 bed female dorm, which was clean and quiet. Good location, walking distance from many sites and close to metro stop to get directly to the airport and ferry port. Amazing view from rooftop bar and frequent social events. Shared kitchen has a lot of space and appliances.

Good location close to main square, great hostel, one of the best I’ve stayed in

Very nice place to stay. Friendly staff. Amazing rooftop. Very chill atmosphere

Is perfectly located near the city center, I could arrived directly from the airport with the metro and when I arrived I felt so welcomed by everyone, the reception and the bar team are amazing and the terrace with all the events is just perfect after a day out in the town. Very social but also very quiet in the rooms, would recommend to anyone honestly.

Overall, I enjoyed my stay. The location was convenient, the rooms and facilities were clean and comfortable, and the rooftop was awesome for watching sunsets. A few of the staff were friendly and helpful but most weren’t very welcoming.

I stayed at Yellowsquare for a short solo trip in Athens and I had a really good time. The rooms and bathrooms are really clean, the beds are very comfortable, and a short walk to the city centre. Staff are super friendly and helpful, overall I would really recommend this hostel.
