Staff were lovely, the rooms were modern and clean, pool could do with an upgrade as it is not very accessible (no entry or exit steps or rails) but the breakfast is great and in a safe neighbourhood, it is a bit of a walk to get places but you know that when booking - still close enough to Syntagma and not too far from Ermou St/heart of Monastiraki

A great hotel near the heart of Athens!

A very warm welcome by Elida, one of the receptionists, made us feel immediately comfortable at Okupa. Everything was as we expected - clean, comfortable, quiet. The DJ music on the Saturday night was relatively quiet background music in the main bar area, rather than filling the hotel, and we didn't hear it in our bedroom. The rooftop pool was a highlight!

The hostal well served travelers on a budget. Several choices of shared rooms. Private bathroom in some rooms and even a balcony. Staff are very helpful welcoming residents. I was impressed by the spaciousness, and usefulness in all common areas (library, reading room, computer cubicles, TV breakfast room, kitchen and rooftop pool) and luggage storage room. The building is quite new. The location is close to public buses to Athens attractions. And a 10 minute walk to Manastraki street (major tourist area) open markets, bars/cafes, restaurants, and brand names stores. Metro lines close by. A vert comfortable stay. I would choose this hostal again.

Athens modern hotel/hostel- a new gem!

Staff very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Hotel/hostel itself is brand new with modern, extemely clean facilities. Beautiful garden, on-site bar and restaurant. Rooftop terrace and pool not open yet during my stay but they said will be open for the summer - June maybe ? I stayed in a room for 4 women with ensuite bathroom (toilet and huge shower- very clean with shampoo and shower gel and hairdryer). Each bunk bed equipped with light and charging port and privacy curtains. Plenty of storage under bed and also have lockers locked with a code specifically for you. Outside of your room they also have extra showers and toilets- one side for women and another side for men. They have a mezzanine area with a library/work station, a kitchenette with fridge, microwave, kettle, stove to cook. (Label your food) With tables and chairs. Only have good things to say with Okupa. 11 minutes walk to monistiraki metro station and monistiraki square but also have bus stops close by. THANKS OKUPA staff!

Buona struttura con ampia zona giorno al piano ammezzato. Recente costruzione con concezione minimal dei bagni (che a me non piace: lavelli piccoli su ripiani). Dormitori con solide strutture che non oscillano, ben oscurate. Eccellente check-in via mail: non ci sono chiavi né tessere, si accede con il telefono vicino alla maniglia, attivando un link ricevuto via mail. La zona, nelle immediate vicinanze (raggio tre isolati) è un po' deserta, poi inizia la movida ed è pieno di locali. Comodo, ma non comodissimo, alla metropolitana 12 minuti a piedi da Monasteraki (linea blu per l'aeroporto 50 minuti).

Check in was 45 minutes late, which is unacceptable for a hotel as nice as this one. The only thing they did was offer me a free drink at the bar when all I wanted to do was lay down after 4 days of traveling. Truly don’t understand why/how check in could be late on a standard room.

It was my first time staying at a hostel and picking Okupa was the best decision I’ve made. The place is beautiful I stayed for 3 nights and I was close to everything and walked to every attraction. The pool was amazing in the hot weather. Everyone was attentive and friendly from the front desk to Mary the custodian. They have some jam sessions once in a while with great Dj’s if you’re not feeling up to going out.I highly recommend this hostel and can’t wait to return.

The rooftop pool at this property is why you need to stay here. The heat in Athens can be relentless and this very trendy hotel about 10 mins walk from centre of Athens is a great find. The rooms are small but they are as advertised and were modern and light and airy. The staff at the front desk are so helpful and accomodating and breakfast was served in the lobby downstairs that had a good vibe. I sort of liked that it was away from the craziness of a few streets away and anticipate this area will become up and coming in future years. The hotel were also great at organising pico ups from
