Zeus Is Loose: From the top of Olympus to the top of the HOSCAR Awards!
It’s fresh. It’s different. Now, it’s also a winner! Zeus Is Loose is officially the best Greek hostel, and the Olympians have a great reason to celebrate!
Zeus Is Loose is a hostel located in the heart of Thessaloniki, but it also has a place in the hearts of thousands of its guests. These same guests, with their votes, were the reason Zeus received one of the top honors at the HOSCAR Awards 2025!
The HOSCARs, an esteemed event organized by Hostelworld, serves as a prestigious platform that celebrates and honors the finest hostels from across the globe. This year marked the 23rd edition of the awards, and it was a remarkable occasion where the voice of the public took center stage. Through a dynamic voting process, travelers around the world influenced the outcome, determining which hostels stood out as the cream of the crop. The event not only showcases exceptional hospitality but also exemplifies the vibrant community of adventurers who seek unique and memorable stays.
The main award categories consist of two distinct groups. The first is the Responsible Travel Award Winners, which honor hostels that excel in sustainable practices across environmental, social, and economic dimensions. These awards highlight efforts such as reducing carbon footprints, promoting local culture, and ensuring fair labor practices. The second category is defined by specific criteria including geographic location, hostel size, and traveler profile, allowing for a more tailored recognition of excellence in the hospitality sector. Notably, Zeus Is Loose has been named the best hostel in the country for 2024 within this category, celebrated for its unique offerings and exceptional dedication to guest experience.
Zeus’ extraordinary hospitality in the heart of Thessaloniki is a standout feature, but it’s just the beginning of what makes this establishment truly exceptional. The elegantly designed rooms seamlessly blend style and comfort, providing an inviting retreat for guests. The atmosphere of the common areas is equally captivating, showcasing a contemporary meeting room and an engaging activity room that foster both collaboration and relaxation. Every detail, from the state-of-the-art amenities to the thoughtfully curated experiences, combines to create an irresistible appeal that enchants every visitor.
HOSCARs serve as a reference and an inspiration for an audience seeking their next destination. However, Zeus is a destination for the locals as well: The irresistible views and the unique cocktail menu of Nectar Distillery – Zeus’ rooftop café-bar – can make an ordinary night out a different, divine one. So until the next award ceremony, the acceptance speech of… Zeus himself will echo from the top of Mount Olympus!
