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.

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

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

This was a fabulous stay. An upscale backpacker with a great vibe. Great breakfast, music in the evenings and our room (301) had a great view of the acropolis from our deck. A great roof to pool. Easily walkable to most sites.

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!
