Summit Zero Hostel

Friendly staff. Nice, green garden. Just a few meters to the beach. Right at the beach, sunbeds for free if you order drinks there. I booked a 4-bed room. Got a 6-bed room with a nicer view and balcony towards the garden. There were only 2 more people in the room. I spent a great evening at Summit-Zero Hostel with songs and traditional music by a group of friends hired by the owner. Breakfast was nice and sufficient (the pancakes and the joghurt-fruits-granola)

The hostel atmosphere could be much nicer if they would get rid of all the old furniture and stuff in the corners and did some simple renovations. For dinner there is not much choice. I would suggest trying the restaurants nearby instead.

Such a great hostel, I felt at home straight away - massive thank you to Vasiliki! Amazing location right on the beach, delicious dinner and a really friendly vibe. I cannot recommend staying here enough!

Amazing hub for backpackers and travelers. Vasilis was a great host.

The manager was amazing. Super friendly and helpful. As I arrived, he welcomed me with an introduction of the activities around Olympus, and a detailed route plans for hikes around the mountain. Thanks to his instructions, I had a nice hiking day. There were also some animals around to play with. Located near the beach, peaceful location.

Unfortunately, the manager was, pretty much, the only great thing about the place... The hostel is in a deplorable state. Looks like It hasn't been taken care of in a (long) while. The rooms are dirty, the lockers are rusted and unusable. The bathrooms are in a bad shape as well. No access to the kitchen (he is the only one allowed there), but would warm up your food for you, IF he is around. No access to a (good) fridge either. He directed me to one outside which, I am 100% sure it wasn't working, because, after 2 days, my food was still lukewarm, even though he said that it "works, but on low input". The living-room is not a place where I would gladly spend my time in. Nothing to do around. Far from everything, but can't help it... Same price as good and great hostels around Greece, but it is the only hostel in this area, so no alternative, but, I would rather pay double the price and rend a room... Unfortunately, I don't see how it can be improved. The place requires a total renovation, but I am not sure if the hostel makes enough profit to cover something like that.
