Okupa Hotel, Athens
On arrival, reception was attentive. Our room was spacious, had everything you need for a hotel stay. The ambience of this hotel was amazing, decor and seating was really chilled with relaxing music playing constantly. The rooftop pool was welcoming, again with the best comfort loungers ever.

Awesome vibe
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.

We loved our stay at Okupa! The roof pool is definitely a highlight, and it was within walking distance of everything we wanted to see and do. Receptionists were all super friendly and had great restaurant and bar recommendations. We look forward to coming back!

Everything about this shared space is fabulous
The staff compliment it and to be honest I am reluctant to tell everybody how soul feeding this place is
The breakfast has an impressive array of goodness to start your day and I recommend the menu also
I am planning on a return visit in October
Did I mention that public transport is very close also

Nice, clean, modern hotel. Great spaces for co-working and relaxing. Good location within a 10-25 minute walk of most sights and areas of interest. Breakfast was lacklustre but lots of better options nearby.

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!

Great for family.
Family of 4. Private room with 2 bunk beds (4 beds) fans private bathroom. Clean. Safe. Pool up stairs. A/c controlled I in room. Upscale backpacker hotel. We easily walked from hotel to all meals and acropolis. You do walk past some lesser developed parks but otherwise great!

I enjoyed my stay Okupa so much. The people working there are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. They were so welcoming and helpful. Felt very at home and relaxed here, the library was so calming! In a great location as well. Truly one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had! Can’t wait to go back 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!
