What a great find! Our room had a clean, comfortable bed and a nice private bathroom. The breakfast was fantastic. We enjoyed the rooftop deck with it's amazing view of the Parthenon. Our host recommended that we take the walking tour of the city - SO glad we did. Our tour guide, Walter, was terrific, and we got very comfortable... More

After five months of backpacking, this was a lovely treat. Clean, spacious room with insanely comfortable beds and lovely linens. Right near the main square. Plots brekkie was delicious! We did have to check out early to catch a boat, and the woman at the front desk who helped us with boat times didn't tell us reception would be closed... More

We loved our stay at the city circus hostel and can't wait for our next visit. An eclectic bohemian haven in the heart of a gently gentrified hood, this place is a wonder. Brooklyn-esque quirks, brand new linen and super clean facilities would be enough, but it also has a rooftop for lazy beer drinking in the night while watching... More

Loved this place, room was very comfortable, breakfast was nice and fresh and the staff were really friendly and helpful. We were a bit bored one night, wanted to watch a movie, and the guy at reception set up a whole cinema for us! Projector... Screen...lights off... It was great. The place is very close to Monastiraki, which is full... More

This place is a true example of Greek hospitality. Walked in late at night, one of the owners was there immediately to help me plan my week. He showed me all the best places in town and told me the spots to avoid. The place is immaculate, the rooms & beds fresh and clean. But really it was the owners... More

Stayed at this hostel at the start of February and had a great experience. It is located in the divide between the local area and the tourist area so you get the best of both worlds, and it is just a short walk to the Sunday markets and to the Acropolis. The manager at the front was incredibly helpful and... More

We chose this accommodation on the basis of the positive recommendations of Trip Adviser reviewers and the City Circus website. City Circus has many aspects to recommend it as an accommodation. Location is near the Ancient and Roman Agoras; the Athens flea market; a metro station and 'reasonable' walking distance to the Acropolis and the Plaka district. There are a... More

This hostel feels like a hotel more than a hostel. There are no regularly scheduled events to speak of, no 'free kitchen' (cannot cook own food must purchase their 'snacks'), and the atmosphere is helpful but with that sort of indifference. The facilities are great though. I stayed in a 4 person room that had a private bath and there... More

This hostel is awesome; the rooms are comfortable, the bathrooms are very clean, it is conveniently located in the heart of Athens (in a cool neighborhood with bars and restaurants, and minutes from a subway stop), the staff are friendly and helpful, the common spaces are gorgeous, and the breakfast is excellent! The homemade olives were as good as my... More
