    I had a short but great trip seeing most of the island and taking in the all important sunset.

    Perhaps that there was no window in the women's dorm.

    The location was within easy reach of the bus station in Oia and the taxi could bring me quite near to the hostel. It was nice that you could go up on the roof of the hostel and eat breakfast there. The owner was helpful in giving information. It was very handy that there was a fixture with a light in the bunk with a shelf for the mobile phone for charging over night.

    I can't think of anything that I didn't like.

    Donna, our host, greeted us outside since I was having difficulty finding the entrance. She is a delight. Explained everything about the hostel and area. This was our first time staying as a hostel and she put us immediately at ease. The beds are very comfortable and private. Common areas are spacious with an open-air patio and rooftop deck. Common kitchen area with complementary coffee.

    Bathroom doors don’t lock properly to provide full privacy. Need more signs to direct you from the bus stop. Everybody (even google maps) knows Central Hostel only and send you there! Thanks to the restaurant waiter who guided me to the right direction after being sent twice to the Central Hostel. I think the female dorms needs to be securely locked.

    This hostel is a decent choice at Santorini if you are a budget traveler. The location is perfect near everything. I liked the privacy of the beds. The dorm and the bathrooms are clean. The air conditioner was a blessing in hot summer days. The main entrance door is secured with a code. It’s a quiet place.

    I normally do not leave reviews but I could not rave more about the hospitality shown here. The hostel is beautiful, very clean and highly modern. The bunks are spacious and a good sense of privacy with large curtains. The location could not have been more ideal, located in the centre of Oia with everything you desire to see just a few minutes walk. The host, Danna, is so kind and can not do enough to help make your stay as pleasant as possible. I would highly recommend and if I do come back to Santorini I would definitely stay here again :)

    Best Location, and neat and clean, private cabin style Hostel.
    • Leisure trip

    • Bed in 8-Bed Male Dormitory Room

    Everything was perfect.

    The location is just a 30-second walk away from the bus station that runs between Fira - Oia towns (buses every hour from 7:30 am - 10:30 pm, 2 euro bus ticket). This is a private cabin-style hostel with comfortable, clean beds; they have lockers in your cabin so you can lock your valuables. Make sure you bring your padlock. The cabin has a shutter-style curtain, so you get your privacy, no noise, and AC that runs 24 hours. Bathrooms were clean. The reception lady is very hospitable. She helped me get a cheaper taxi service, as my flight arrived at 1:30 am in the night due to a delay. She arranged a cheaper taxi service for me in advance; she replied to my messages quickly on Booking.com Otherwise, to get a taxi could have been very difficult at night, and I could have paid double/triple for the cost of the transfer. She saved my money. I really appreciate her help.

    Beautiful place. Clean rooms and amazing location. It’s literally a 2 min walk from the 3 blue domes view spot. The place is fairly new so everything is clean and fresh. Danna the owner was very helpful when I checked in and gave me lots of recommendations. You can tell they put a lot of care into making their guests feel like home. Clean and comfortable beds with full curtains to give you some privacy. There’s a cute courtyard for you for relax and a rooftop terrace that you can sunbath or hang your laundry.

    I stayed in Oia, Santorini, and had an unforgettable experience thanks to Danna, the amazing hostel owner. From the moment I arrived, she went out of her way to make me feel welcome. She’s incredibly friendly, kind, and full of great local tips — she showed me the best places to visit and things to do around the island. We had some great conversations, and it felt like more than just a place to sleep — it was a real connection and a truly special experience. This was more than a stay, it was a highlight of my trip. Highly recommend! Blue domes is just 4 mins walk. I was able to take good pictures early in the morning haha!

    My room is on the other side of the toilet/shower room, so I had to walk around the reception, through the kitchen and the common area to get there. If you are in the women-only room, the shower is literally a door away.

    The host was extremely friendly and gave us a detailed tour of the hostel and a lot of recommendations around the area. The bed is like a room in itself, very comfy and amazing price.
