Overall not too bad for price The guy at the counter was nice

Martha, Greece

The staff are amazing, the beach is a few minutes away and everything is so well and thoughtfully organised! Previously, I had read some complaints in the reviews about cleanliness but while I was there it was spotless clean and I saw that the people who complain are actually the ones who leave a mess behind themselves!

Mila, United Kingdom

The kitchen lacks flatware, plates or drinking glasses. When I checked in I saw a microwave and a tea kettle but came to find out when I got ready to eat that the microwave was not working and other people staying there told me that the staff was aware and just said they needed a new one. However no effort was made to remedy the situation so I ended up spending more money having to go find something to eat this place is very subpar and it's just best to spend a little extra money and stay elsewhere they don't have any standards of care and it's just not what it should be I've stated many hostels and this was one of the worst!

Kristle, United States of America

The owners and staff are amazing and super helpful! Everything is so well organised! Will definitely come back and recommend. Its also safe and chill!

Mila, United Kingdom

We stayed 4 nights. The room was cleaned daily. It has a balcony with table and chairs. The room is spacious. 3 single beds even though we booked for twin beds.

Shirley, Malaysia

Before I arrived I let them know that I would arrive after 23.00 and they kindely put the key of my room in an envelope near the reception. the showers were clean despite many people using them. Wifi worked well. It's easy to reach other towns on the island as there is a bus stop nearby. Also the (black) beach is close to the hostel The price is good

Ranu, Netherlands

Amazing place! I have stayed here twice. Great location near the beach and very relaxed. Wonderful, hospitable staff!

Kimberly, China

Ear the black beach, also near good restaurants, bakery, and market.

Nebojsa, United States of America

Luggage room: There is a good space to leave your bags while you wait for the chech-in or after you check out, so you can enjoy the beach. Lockers: The lockers are large and well positioned. There is air conditioning in all rooms.

“Cheap but stinky shower”

- • Stayed 3 nights

the basement showers stunk like sewerage so that sort of ruined everything. You would feel more dirty after your shower. There is no place to hang your cloth and towel by the shower. Not to mention the shower room is far from bedroom. You would need yo walk ouside the building to get to the shower and such. Not comfortable especially when there are people hanging out outside. There is a facility right next door to the left of this facility that is also cheap but much better maintained. I didn't use it since I foundout about it too late. I think it is called Patricia if I remember correctlly.

“For Santorini Island, you have what you pay for this cheap price.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Bed in 4-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room-Dorm 1
- • Stayed 5 nights
The kitchen is pretty dirty and almost useless, with almost no ustensils or appliances. Keep notice that anywhere on Santorini, the water is not drinkable! Think of getting bottled water, or some other alternatives.
For Santorini Island, you have what you pay for this cheap price. It is pretty functional place, that is maintained just correctly. The shower has hot water. Of course, the bed are about average of what you can find in any hostel. The location is just next to the main road, which can be practical to catch the bus but is pretty noisy. There is a big supermarket few step away, and a 24h bakery. The beach is really 5/6 min away.

“I have to get back to Santorini one day!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room with Private Bathroom
- • Stayed 4 nights
Maaan, I have no more space to write about what I liked! :( You cannot drink tap water as there is a volcanic dust in it. And as it is really warm there in September I may recommend visiting Santorini (or any other Greek islands - there is a bunch of them ;) like during off-the-season period - try not to go there on July or August! You won't get up to the hill without donkey ;) (donkeys are available in Thirassia and Oia as well)
This was not mentioned in the offer I guess, but when you have a double-room, not in the dormitory, you will get a room in a hostel 200metres from the main one. I am not complaining because I have access to the swimming pool and when you are in the water - chilling, relaxing, you get a nice view of the mountain. And if you are tall enough, I am not, you can easily spot see on the opposite side. You definitely have to visit the Bakery Man (that's how someone called the man in one of many postcards that are on the wall) and his staff :) You will be informed at the check-in about that place, and believe me, everyone is buying their pastries, cakes, desserts. You will love that place! you have like 10minutes of slow-pace walk to get to the beach, and there at the seaside promenade you have plenty of various restaurants - lovely! We had our own one where we were dining almost every day :) but most of them have similar menus and prices, just find yours. The promenade ends at that rocky mountain on which ancient Thera is situated. You may get a long walk up the hill to visit ancient Thera - I recommend that, do not use the donkeys! It is not that difficult to get to the top. On the top of the hill is another route to climb even higher, but we only explored the ancient city (you have to pay at the entrance). From this spot you can see the other side of that rocky mountain - you see the airport and the city of Kamari. We also bought a daily trip to see the active volcano ;), have a break at some hot springs, visit Thirassia (get to the top instead of having a meal at that small port, you will find a nice restaurant at the top with breath-taking view, and try their pasta with feta!

We had to wait an hour for the check in because reception wasn't opened even though I wrote my arrival time. There's no common area to chill. The kitchen is just a fridge, a sink and a kettle. Not enough utensils. Sea water from all taps
The big dorm is okay for 14 people. Enough space for everyone and the AC works well.
