Athens Hawks Reviews

Good location despite being a bit dodgy at night, particularly for female travellers. Super social hostel, amazing rooftop bar and view of acropolis!!

Very nice place friendly people and clean areas, just the location a little bit away in compare to others accomodation

Good stay overall and it was very very affordable! Good stay and experience!

It was not too bad.

The hostel is located 15 minutes from the Monastiraki metro station. The hostel provides a shuttle bus to the airport, it needs to be booked a day in advance. The hostel itself occupies the entire entrance to the roof. There is a bar on the roof and a large terrace on all sides of the building. They remove badly. The hostel is dirty, no one really cleaned the showers, only the garbage will be taken out and the floor will be wiped. The bed linen has already been made, only sheets from the blanket. From the air conditioner and the window was blowing, there was nothing to hide. The pillows are very uncomfortable and damp. Slept without a pillow and ended up wearing a sweatshirt. The room was large, but crowded with beds. I don’t know why it happened, my neighbors from the USA and Australia practically didn’t go anywhere and generally stayed in the room all day. They fell asleep and vomited. Why the stench in the room was incredible from sweat, stuffiness, vomit. The shower bath is always stuffy and damp, there is a small window. Drawers for things are located right next to the shower door, which makes it very inconvenient to use them, they are far from the beds. There were a lot of mosquitoes in the room, I had a fumigator with me, it helped. All night people went back and forth, I practically did not sleep, every day I was broken. They give you a free shot upon check-in. Prices at the bar are moderate, aperol and mojito for 8 euros. The breakfast is rich, there are eggs and fruits, bread, jam and oatmeal, payment at the bar on the same floor. Free drinking water at the bar, it's convenient to fill the bottle. It was unpleasant to be in the room, so after sightseeing I sat in the lounge area, where the kitchen is. Worked there, wi-fi catches well. You can order dinner in the kitchen, I have never taken it, but I saw it, they say that it is tasty and convenient, you don’t have to go anywhere. They rent towels. The area itself is located somewhere in the backyard, it’s very scary to walk in the evening, there are only construction sites, abandoned buildings, parking lots and Pakistani-Indian establishments around. There are no women walking around the area at all. The photo is a view from the roof.

Very clean hotel with good facilities. Very close to the pedestrian historical center.

とても清潔で新しいバックパッカー宿です。バーとキッチンが２階にあり、わたくしが行ったときはレセプションにATMもありました。部屋により広かったり狭かったりします。ただ、どの部屋もバスルームがついているので、競争にはならないようです。オモニア広場とプシリ、アテネ中央市場が近く、また中東系の住民が多い地区で、アテネのイメージとは少しことなります（が、安い食堂が多いので、そこは重宝しました）

Everything exceeded my expectations. The staff was very helpful, the bed really comfy, the rooftop bar amazing with the best imaginable view and the lounge spacious and truly cozy. And to think that it is located in the city centre, next to a metro station and of course to shops and major attractions! I consider myself lucky indeed to have enjoyed all of these in the lowest price possible! Would definitely choose it again. Thank you so much, Athens Hawk hostel!!!

It was good and for most part friendly, difficult to make new friends because everyone want to go alone or has to a take a flight!!! ,cold room at night remember I went in the winter, Lovely bartender gurl and pet ❤️. The Neighborhood could use a clean up and more security....

Value-4-money city-centre hostel: 👍 Helpful, friendly team 👍 Clean rooms & common areas 👍 Kick-AS views FR"!"o"m top-floor-terrace with cocktail-bar 👍 Large enough to also accommodate bigger groups, culturally exploring the capital of Greece

A nice, clean hostel with a great bar and nice staff. We booked the private room, and found it large, well appointed and clean. The street was not safe and I wouldn’t recommend walking through it alone at night.

The location does not feel the safest but it is a short walk to a few very nice streets. I met amazing people there and the rooftop bar views and drinks were very reasonable. Overall a great experience.

travelled here solo for a few nights on my way home after working in northern greece all summer and i don’t think i recommend this hostel. for the price of the hostel i expected it to at least be in a decent area but it’s in one of the worst streets in athens that i’ve seen while walking around the city. a few streets down from here if you take a wrong turn you will see a whole street with 30-40 people lying on the ground very clearly on ***** but directly outside the hostel is generally not great and i’ve felt very uncomfortable and unsafe as a female traveller there, every time i walk outside the hostel there are so many really sketchy men on the street that stare at you as you walk by and try to talk to you its really off putting - every time i walk outside the hostel i walk as quickly as possible so that i can get close to the busier part of the city and feel safe. the hotel’s facilities are fine and the rooftop part is really good fun on a sunday night but honestly i would’ve stayed somewhere cheaper if i knew this was in such a dodgy area

The hostel was clean. Great sized lockers, facilities were great, it was also close to centre by tram did not like where hotel was not safe for solo female travellers especially at night , lots of men shouting and wandering streets with alcohol, smelled strong of pee , I had to make sure I returned at night before it got dark
