Safestay is delighted to announce the acquisition of prime boutique hostel Athens Style. Athens is one of Europe’s oldest capital and is a city with a long history. Athens is an open-air museum of world-class artefacts and monuments. This serves as the perfect city to explore Greece’s culture. 

 

The Hostel is an established base for tourists to explore the city and has a rooftop bar that offers a 360-degree view of Athens. It is located in Agias Theklas which is right in the centre of Athens. This provides an easy route to the main attractions of the city such as Monastiraki Square, the Acropolis, the Pnyx and the Temple of Olympian Zeus. 

 

Athens sits perfectly within Safestay’s ethos; to create accommodation where there is always something to do, from local tours, to live music events, or hanging out in their bar whilst making new friends. The Safestay brand of hostels are vibrant and attract people from all over the world. There is a friendly local team, delivering an award-winning standard of quality, cleanliness and customer service. All for an affordable price. 

 

“AthenStyle is a strong addition to our portfolio as it is already popular, stylishly designed and sits right in the heart of the City. It will be a straightforward process to re-brand the site, integrate with our cloud-based booking systems and should be immediately earnings enhancing.”

–Larry Lipman, Chairman of Safestay
