YellowSquare Reviews: Athens

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!

The staffs were very polite welcoming . We were even given room upgrades for the same price we’ve paid . It was a lucky day for us. Breakfast was great for a very affordable price compared to any other restaurants .

It was my first time staying at a hostel and Yellowsquare Athens was the perfect choice. The staff were very kind and helpful (even for unique needs such as praying), the room was spacious and clean, the bed comfortable, and the balcony and rooftop view were fantastic add-ons. The piece is quite affordable as well.

Overall everything was clean and nice.

I stayed in the 4-bed girls room (in the middle bed). I felt like there was less space around my bed than the others.

The bathroom door closed/opened quite loudly, it was impossible to not make noise with it. I was a bit annoyed with this because if you arrive or leave while the others are still asleep, then there was no way to avoid the noise.

I arrived also with a larger suitcase that I used for work-related items. I chose the hostel partially because online it said that there is a storage room available. During check-in, I also discussed it with the staff and they didn’t make an objection. However, a few hours later on when I came down from my room to put the suitcase in the storage room, the same exact staff member made it an inconvenience and said that “we usually don’t accept luggage for a long period of time and it’s also large” etc, my stay was 2 nights… I was quite disappointed to hear them refuse it. They could have just said it’s full or something, this was just them not wanting it/caring. I mean, if you have shared rooms, then it would be reasonable to be able to hold a luggage case for 2 days

Could acutally work in working space, Kitchen large, Roof top with view in Akropolis.

Room clean everything functioning (shower etc.) would stay always when in Athens.

It was a great stay, while the area seems a bit sketchy it has many great hidden gems of restaurants and shops you don’t expect to run into.
The room was very comfortable with great big cushions on the bed and the shower was also amazing. With free use of the air conditioning and access to a balcony, I was very happy with the autonomy given to keep myself happy.
The bar upstairs was great open space and amazing view of the city and acropolis.
The other shared spaces were also very nice, I didn’t stay in them but the coworking and and reception area looked comfortable and clean for anyone just wanting to sit and relax a little.

Convenient spot needs no more words. The staff are so nice and the balcony is the best gift I could have in Athens. Every single morning there is wonderful and the welcome drink on the rooftop is even more attractive. Stunning view of Acropolis and the best whether in Athens, how can I ask more?

very helpful staff, fun events, nice looking building and very convenient location

The location and room were great. However, the bathroom flooded and did not properly drain and the cleaners constantly opened the windows to allow all the mosquitos inside, also when I left a note.

Finally, the wristband system is somewhat dangerous, especially for solo travelers. This is essentially informing the outside world where you are staying.

The Friday night at the bar was also simply creepy.

got a private room when we booked for a 4 people room! staff were extremely kind and helpful, and the man serving breakfast offered to give me ice when I filled up my water bottle.

A wonderfully located accommodation right in the city center.
The rooms are well-equipped for maximum comfort.
The atmosphere is perfect, and the staff are very friendly.

Our stay in yellowsquare was fantastic! You might think the area was a bit sketchy but it really isnt!! Their location is very walkable to most tourist spots in Athens..It’s a 5-10 minute walk to Monastiraki Square and Monastiraki train station(which connect to the airport)…I also love their rooftop bar where you can watch sunset while drinking wine..

It was a great stay. It was in a central location and hosted great activities on a daily basis. The rooftop bar with an excellent view of the city was the cherry on top.

a clean comfortable room in a good location with several great restaurant options close by. I think the option of a breakfast buffet would go a long way to improving the atmosphere.

Good and recommenced every one to experience this beautiful property and specially roof top bar and restaurant

The overall stay was very pleasant!
The staff was amazing, the facility was very good, a few flaws on house keeping, there was a strong sewage smell in the room when I checked in but I think it’s a problem of the city and location.

The breakfast was good, waiting time can be improved, the honey that is served with the breakfast was a little waaaay too much so they always end up in the garbage and it’s heart breaking to waste an ingredient that is expensive such as honey.

It was a week of joy. Everyone was so friendly, I felt at home. I was able to work in peace and quiet in the morning, and it was perfect to return to the beautiful terrace after a full day in beautiful Athens. The food was delicious, the service was 200%, and everything was clean.

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!
