Much better than a hotel. Easy access to the central area with restaurants and bars. Free wine in the evening with chatting with each other was awesome. Clean bed. I definitely choose this place again, when I come to Athens.

Cozy & warm hostel

We had a really wonderful stay here! It’s a small & cozy hostel, so it’s probably not for you if you are looking for a crazy party hostel. But for us it was perfect. Room was warm and comfortable, shower was strong. Breakfast is basic but good enough. Service at the reception was superb and very friendly. Overall really value for money and very homely stay!

Nubian is a convenient hostel just a short walk from Panepistimio metro station. The price for a dorm room is very affordable with a breakfast that is really good and as promised. Individual lights, power outlets and comfortable beds and soft pillows can guarantee you a good stay.
