Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center is 4.6 km from the hostel, while Flisvos Marina is 6.4 km from the property. The nearest airport is Eleftherios Venizelos Airport, 41 km from BEDWAVE Seaside Mansion.

Sofia and George were THE BEST hosts! They make you feel at home and are so helpful with everything you need! My stay there was nothing short of amazing!! It’s a great location, near the port, very convenient to go island hopping. The house is great, it has everything that you need to make you feel at home! You can use the kitchen, the common areas, and the bedroom is really comfortable with great AC! The water pressure of the bathroom showers is top notch! You basically have a private beach that you can access from the hostal. There is a supure marker really close, restaurants and public transportation within a few minutes. I loved my time there, will definitely come back in the future!!

This is a hostel as i remember from the old days. Sure its a old, not shiny new and smelling like roses, like the new hotel hostels. But this is a place where you cook together if you want. The owner knows his town and can guide your tour with tips tricks and real info on the ins and outs. The other guests are mostly travelers, friendly and easy to talk to. It located in the middle of a real greek neighbourhood, with cheap local shops for everything from your morning coffee to a quick meal on the way back. Easy access to metro tram, and located in an area where everything is with in walking distance.

Located in the heart of Athens, just beneath the Acropolis, Safestay Athens Monastiraki is within walking distance of most attractions and offers stunning views of the Acropolis from its rooftop terrace.

Highly recommended stay! The location is perfect, walking distance to everything and on a very clean, quiet and safe street. The staff were all very helpful and present. The views from the rooftop are some of the best in the city. A great spot for €5 breakfast. The room was spotlessly clean, comfortable, great air conditioning, and amazing water temperature and pressure. We hope to stay again one day!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Location is certainly good and the basic facilities were OK. The place was clean. Staff helpful. I did a late booking elsewhere and the hotel did not have a room for one of the nights. So rather than changing fully, booked here...Cheap and cheerful....well...cheap yes..but not that cheerful. I wouldnt repeat, but those that are on a very low budget will find the least clean linen..

    We only stayed for a few hours as, due to a ferry strike the next day, we had to sail earlier than planned. That said, this hotel is in a great location for the docks and safe for shops, etc. The gentleman on the front desk was very accommodating, helpful and understood our changing plans. The room was spacious, very clean and, although slightly dated, was comfortable and met our needs. The shower was great and the strong wi-fi signal helped us to re-organise our plans. Would definitely stay again 😀👍

    The apartment was well equipped and spacious. I was given a very detailed description of how to get there and how to get into the apartment. No personal contact to anybody of the staff was nescessary. It's easy to get to the port from the location of the apartment. Overall the place is a good and cheap stay for travellers who want to take the ferry.
