    This time I had a different bunk and the bed was very uncomfortable. Could feel all springs in mattress

    Second time I have stayed here. Came back as I was flying out of Santorini and wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else.

    Cleaning ladies were very noisy in the morning, also at night it gets very loud if you are trying to sleep. If you want to party, it’s perfect for you.

    Friendly staff, Matthew and Clara helped a lot with lots of information. Thanks to them. Location is very close to bus stop.

    The mattress was considerably uncomfortable and I could feel the inside structure when lying down.

    The room I stayed in had a toilet and a shower with toilet, both separate for more privacy. The pool was clean and refreshing. Laundry service available. Vending machine with cold drinks available on reception. Really good vibe at night time in the patio where everyone gathers. Special mention to Matthew on reception who takes the time to explain everything you need including directions on how to get to places and restaurant recommendations. He does a great job.

    Nothing. AC was great. Even the roommates from all the world were great

    What made it was the staff in the day time. He was so helpful, friendly and just overall great. Especially affer travelling across the world to Santorini it was a good vibe thank you . They have wifi, a pool and taxi to airport for 25 euro if bus doesn’t operate earlier than 7:15am . Location is a couple blocks to Fira bus station

    Excellent hostel! Nice big room with own bathroom and everything was clean. The beds had lights and sockets and a large locker with lock. There was aircon, a mirror and a fridge in the room. The hostel provided sheets and a towel. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The kitchen was clean and had everything you need. The location was excellent, mere minutes walk from the centre of Fira. One of the best hostels I have stayed in, absolutely would stay again.

    I had a fantastic experience at this hostel. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful from the moment I arrived — they truly made me feel at home. The atmosphere was relaxed and social, perfect for solo travelers and backpackers. The rooms and common areas were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. I especially appreciated the small touches — whether it was the cozy lounge, the organized activities, or the helpful local tips. The location was ideal: close to everything but still peaceful at night. I met some amazing people here, and it really felt like a home away from home. Highly recommended — I’d definitely come back!

    • Bed in 10-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Bed wasn't too uncomfortable but could have been better. Also, would have been nice to have a curtain on the bed to sleep more privately without being bothered by other guests/lights going on and off. (some hostels do, some don't, no points off for that but just as a suggestion)

    I only stayed here one night. But, check in was easy, the staff were all very friendly, the place was clean. Definitely seemed like a safe place as most people in my room had their stuff out and not locked away, lol. I still locked my stuff up of course. The storage locker was big enough for my small checked bag and large backpack. I'm sure I could have kept a bag in their storage area if I didn't have enough space. Location is great, just a minute or so walk from the main shopping/restaurant area of Fira and right by the bus station. I would probably stay here again especially if I could get it for 30euro a night again!

    A bit pricey for a hostel but I guess it's the season and it's the expensive Santorini.

    A truly great hostel with very comfy beds, great staff, wonderful guests, and really nice common areas. I loved it that I could leave my backpack 🎒 after checking in and was able to shower in the communal showers.

    My mattress was a bit thin and lumpy, but at such a bargain price I can't really complain.

    I stayed here for one night having flown in late. The staff were great, and helped me book a very early taxi to the port the next morning. The room was clean, and quiet once I put earplugs in (there were people drinking and chatting right outside the window, but hey, it's a hostel). The padlocked lockers were a nice addition.

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Matthew takes care of every traveler. Great price and excellent location—just a 3-minute walk from the bus station. Despite being close to the city center, the street is quiet and peaceful. The hostel has a pool, is clean, with comfortable beds and an en-suite bathroom, plus an extra one—which is a big advantage in a shared room. Well-equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. Free luggage storage before check-in and after check-out. You can also use the kitchen and take a shower at any time after check-out. Two cats living in the hostel add a special atmosphere to the place. I definitely recommend it :)

    My bed in the female dorm was a little cramped. It was hard getting luggage in and out of the locker.

    The location was excellent. Very close to the bus station which meant you could get a bus to other places on the island easily. There was a little pool which was an added bonus.
