Mosaikon Hostel is fantastic, very modern, clean, and an inviting place. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. The rooftop has a great view of the Acropolis and is a nice place to meet solo travellers. I want to give a special shoutout to Christina, the receptionist, she went above and beyond to make my Athens trip and hostel stay absolutely phenomenal. She deserves all the praise and Mosaikon Hostel would not be the same without her. I highly recommend having a chat with her to receive food and travel recommendations during your stay.

Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 at a modern, hotel-style hostel near Monastiraki. Cleanliness was exceptional, with daily service and linens, covers, and bedding that were very clean, crisp, and felt like hotel-level quality.

Check-in and check-out were efficient, using an electronic key for both the bed and a secure, spacious locker.The privacy and facilities stand out: on the same floor, five private rooms serve the eight-bed dorm—three within the dorm (one with shower+toilet, one toilet-only, one with shower and large washing basin), plus two additional toilet rooms right outside the dorm by the elevator (about 5 meters from the door). This layout provides privacy and convenience rarely found in hostels, closely matching hotel standards. Showers offered hot water and strong pressure, and all spaces were spotless. Each sleeping pod has a curtain, lamp, outlet, and shelf. The rooftop terrace is open for guests, with city and Acropolis views.

The breakfast area looks like a professional cafe, and the location is central.

Overall, although I stayed in a dormitory bed, the quality of the service, cleanliness, amenities, and privacy left me with the impression of staying in a hotel rather than a hostel.

I am 74, I booked this hostel because it had an elevator. My bottom bunk in an all female en-suite dorm was immaculate, modern, spacious, equipped with reading light, storage shelf, hook, two privacy shades, and a key card locking storage locker. The staff was gracious, welcoming and gave me several excellent suggestions where to eat. It was easy to make connections with fellow guests. It is located 7 minute walk from Palaka sq and Athens easy to use public transportation system. You can use your credit card at point of entry. The add-on if you want breakfast is excellent and expensive. You will be glad you booked here.

Dorm room and bathrooms were clean, nice location, helpful staff, bit noisy at night but normal for this area, there was someone in the room that insisted to leave the window open although there is a/c, which made it noisier and open to hungry mosquitos. Great roof top bar, lockers in rooms, hot showers, linens included, towels for rent, €6 to store one piece of luggage before/after check-out, very small community refrigerator, coffee included, optional breakfast, airport shuttle for a few.

Good location, walkable to most areas of interest and lots of restaurants around the hostel. Cleanliness is well maintained . Privacy blinds on each bed and the private rooms looked very neat and comfy.
My only gripe is that the kitchen is not fully functional , you can only reheat and store food in the fridge.if you intend to stay longer and want to cook small meals this won't be possible.
Laundry is available for 12 euros wash and dry for a small bag of clothes, takes 4-5 hours to turn around and the staff does it for you.

I found evidence of bedbugs, and ended up with bites all over my feet and ankles. The breakfast was quite pricey if you didn't book it in advance.

Really nice hostel in the center of everything. Clean rooms, clean bathrooms, and huge lockers for storing backpacks. Only negative to note is there are some hidden fees here, including a 2 euro city tax upon check-in, and they charge 6 euros to store your backpack for you on check-out. Would be a lot more helpful to allow backpack storage after check-out for free, as most places do.

Lovely, well-run hostel and small hotel. I was in a private room -- comfortable bed, huge and nice bathroom, air-conditioning. Staff was very accommodating. Nice breakfast. Fun, safe area. Inside, perfectly quiet -- a little noise from the surrounding restaurants, but they supply ear plugs!

Hostel was in a great location - lots of great restaurants and bars around and minutes away from the centre. The roof terrace was great! Only downside was that the bedroom doors were quite thin and we were woken up early in the morning by cleaning/people moving around to get to the terrace.

This was my first time staying at a hostel, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The hostel was clean as a whistle, and the facilities were nicer than most hotels I've stayed at. The bunk beds were large and had privacy shades. I opted for a mixed gender room and did not feel unsafe at all. The men were friendly, respectful, and I enjoyed talking to them! The hostel is located just south of the Acropolis and in the tourist centre. There are many good restaurants within a minutes' walk, and the hostel's rooftop bar has great views.

Mosaikon is a fine modern hotel, centrally located. Only a few blocks from the Monastiraiki Metro Station, which goes to and from the airport. It is impeccably maintained, and the staff is very helpful, competent, and congenial. I stayed nine days, and was able to see Athens (the sites, the restaurants, the rebetiko) as well as take day trips with no trouble at all. Athens is a busy place, so you’ll do well to avail yourself of their breakfasts, which is offered buffet style with your type of coffee: American, cappuccino, or Greek.

This place is very nice , safe and super clean. Staff members are helpful, kind and accommodating. I stayed here on and off during my 3 months travels in Greece . They kept my big luggage in a locker room more than 45 days and with affordable price. Each time I came back I was greeted with amazing front desk employees. I’ll be back for sure for my next trip. One of the best hostels I stayed during my Greek and French vacation. Thank you Mosaikon

Very central for city centre, felt safe. Roof top bar with wine at €5 a glass! Downside was that thiswas a shared dorm, i was allocated a top bunk although there were bottom bunks available, but would have been charged to switch. As there are lots of bars very close there is street noise until early hours.

I wish my Experience was better

This hostel has alot going for itself. The place is quite nice, in the middle of Everything, the staff is very helpful, courteous and kind. Except, for housekeeping. I believe they truly need retraining. I feel MANY people are not saying this about housekeeping for some reason. I do not understand why they come in at 9:30am, leave the door open and start cleaning. It is very awkward when we are still sleeping, exposed with little clothes. They open the door balcony and curtains, even when you close them for privacy. I actually closed the door AND curtains twice and guess what..the housekeeper literally opened them all up again..I was AMAZED. I stayed in a female only dorm and we all wanted it closed.Why did they deliberately open it again? It makes it hard for women to get up safely, if the large balcony is wide open for everyone to watch you with little clothes on. This was interesting to me. I tried to stay 3 days, yet on the 3rd day, I woke up to the door wide open to our room around 9 again, housekeeping opened the curtains and door AGAIN, I closed it again with a towel on and went to the restroom. I Actually got locked inside the bathroom, the key stopped working somehow. I tried to get out and they turned the light off on me, which made me panic. The light is on the outside of the bathroom. I screamed turn the light back on! Did not listen to me. Both housekeepers said to calm down..with the light off? this felt inhumane to me. Their looks said we dont care. I left 💯

Amazing stay! A rooftop with the acropole view was the highlight of the stay. Great breakfast option and nice staff.

Only 2 negative points:
It is located in the heart of the nightlife, if you are looking for a quiet place either use the earplugs given by the hostel or look for booking somewhere else.
In the mix dorm there is no lock for the shower, I felt that I didn't have enough privacy to take my shower. I would have prefer to have a woman only shower room for mix dorm.

The hostel is very cleans Each bed has a blind for privacy. The area is relatively safe to walk around. Overall I had a very good experience with this hostel.

Very helpful staff, always going the extra mile to respond to you needs. A daily cleaning lady cleans the room and bathroom in the morning. Rooms are spacious and good size locker for you which lock with you room card key. AC worked well. The subway is at 4 blocks. The super market, backery are at 2 blocks in the main street. A lot of restaurant in the area.

Staff at Mosaikon hostel were very welcoming and helpful, they allowed me to store my luggage at the hostel a few days in advance whilst I traveled out of Athens. They were also really welcoming and gave me lots of suggestions of what to do / where to eat.

The hostel is modern and very clean, however, I was in my dorm when housekeeping came. I noticed she did not replace the sheets of the people that had checked out and just tucked them in and folded the blanket provided.

Aside from that, the hostel is in a great area with lots of good food and bars. As a solo female traveller, I felt very safe in the area.

It also has a great roof top with a wonderful view of the acropolis!

Ok place for a night

The hostel is ok if all you need is a place to crash for the night while transiting through Athens and travelling alone. If not, a double room in the same area would cost you as much as 2 bunk beds in a dorm there and you would enjoy more privacy. For the high price requested for a hostel in Greece, a towel should be included in the price. Also, the roof top terrace is now a restaurant.

Sleepless Night

The location of the hotel is not good for a hotel. It has many bars around, and they are open until 2am. After 2 am the insider noise started. I called the reseption in the night time, no one answered. when I went to the reception, there was no one. I felt kind of insecurity. I was not able to sleep not even 5 minutes. And the workers are rude and the room was not that clean. in summary, noisy, rude management, medium clean.

I stayed in a private room and it was great! Very spacious for a city room, comfortable bed. Sound-proofing wasn't the best, but I sleep with earplugs anyway when traveling, so no big deal. Staff were super helpful with finding great, affordable food too! Would definitely stay again!
