Reviews of Fira Backpackers Place

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

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

The location is excellent, that staff are great. It was super social- meet some great people and had a lot of fun. The free washing is a great perk. It’s always clean and tidy too

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

The bonding

Basement smell

Very enjoyable stay at this hostel, central location close to the bus station, restaurants, shops and all the picturesque views. The staff was super lovely and helpful. The hostel is perfect for budgeted holidays and socialising wether you travel solo or not. Good vibes, recommend 💯

Nothing to complain really

Staff are good

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.

Nothing

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!

None

The hostel has a fantastic location. Close to bus station and main square with lots of cafes and shops. From bus station to can get to Oia. Matthew is very frendly and hospitable. He helped me with a very important problem. Also the laundry is free which is fantastic. The room has a toilet and a fridge.

Had fun great place Matthew explained everything very well

They don't directly organize events. It is mostly the people in the hostel organizing themselves

Location. Staff friendliness, and helpfulness.

Stuffy room. Small washrooms. Bed uncomfortable.
