Safestay Athens Monastiraki

Safestay Athens Monastiraki (formerly Athenstyle) sits on Agias Theklas Street, about two minutes from Monastiraki Square. It is part of the Safestay chain and operates as the biggest hostel in the Monastiraki area. The building has a rooftop terrace with direct Acropolis views, a ground-floor restaurant, a pool table, a game room, and a bar that runs DJ nights and happy hours.

The hostel organizes bar crawls, walking tours, bike tours, and DJ nights. Board games and a shared lounge provide lower-key socializing options. The operation is professional and high-volume, which means predictable quality but less intimacy than smaller hostels.

Family rooms are available, and the hostel welcomes guests of all ages. The elevator provides access to upper floors. Rooms have air conditioning and heating, and the property is smoke-free indoors.

The Monastiraki location is the strongest selling point. You are two minutes from the Square, the flea market, Ermou Street shopping, and the metro station. The Acropolis is a 10-minute uphill walk. The rooftop terrace views of the Acropolis are arguably the best from any hostel in the immediate Monastiraki area.
