Fivos Hostel

Fivos is another non-smoking establishment in this tobacco-fanatic capital. It isn’t fancy and luxurious but it’s clean, and is favoured by young city travelers eager to meet new friends. According to the Scottish receptionist, who looks like he’s just walked off the set of a gangster film, “this is a place for travelers. The people who work here are also travelers stopping over, making it easier to understand a guest’s needs”, which means that they may have a job for you, if you fancy staying in Athens a little longer. Travel light or choose a room on the first floor, as the word “lift” is unknown here.
