The beds in the dorm rooms were very clean and so were the toilets. The also have a beautiful rooftop sitting bar that offers an amazing view of the famous Oia sunset. Breakfast was free and great, a simple serving of bread and jam with juice and coffee. They also let me store my bag the next day once I... More

I stayed at this hostel already 7 years ago and was very excited if it was still keeping its beautiful style and unforgettable atmosphere. After a 5 days stay I can say YES, or better, more than that. The whole hostel is still impeccable clean and well maintained. The courtyard with the beautiful fountain full of blooming bougainvilleas so relaxing... More

Had a very pleasant stay at this lovely hostel. Slept in a 12-bed dorm which was huge and not hot at all even it was a heat-weave. Hosts were very nice and gave us lots of informations what to do and where to go incl. free map. Decent breakfast with seaview every morning. Wifi available everywhere in the property. Also... More

The location is excellent - it is only 1 minute walking distance from the cental bus station and the famous postcard-scene of Oia.

A real asset was the sunset terrace with awesome views of the sea, happy hour was great! Breakfast included from 18euros per night. Bathroom/toilet to be looked after a bit more, cleanliness related (something also has to be done with showers: one boiling hot, one absolutely cold). Room number1 was insanely hot, unfair compared to the other dorms. To sum... More

This hostel is without a doubt unbelievably beautiful. The reviews of it being well run are not a lie however there are some untruths. The hostel is quiet, which for some people is not necessarily a bad thing, however, it is not a place you could meet other lively travellers. It is strictly run with 'quiet time' from 2-5. The...

We feel very sorry, that you had completely different expectations regarding our "Hostel Philosophy". As your nickname "lovetoparty " already shows, you were expecting a "Party-Hostel" which we have never been - and also never want to be. That our guests are not "lively" is very amusing to read, as well as the fact that the bus-station is "the most... More

After a great stay last year I returned with my friends this year and had a wonderful time again. Can recommend it to everybody who likes to stay in the best location of Oia without spending his whole holiday-budget. Super friendly staff, wonderful relaxing atmosphere - and still the best and cheapest cocktails and most beautiful sunset of the Island.... More

We booked three nights online. We arrived to find a stock standard hostel which looked fine but we found it did not have air conditioning and it was 40 degrees outside. We decided to find another hotel. The check in guy was pleasant and refered us to his boss's who preceded to be complete jerks. They raised their voices saying... More

We highly appreciate the feedback from our guests as it helps us continually to improve our service – but only when it is in accordance with the facts. As this didn’t apply to your review we like to rectify the matter as follows: You have made an online-booking for 3 people/ 3 nights in a mixed dorm. For whatever reason... More

Considering the incredibly steep accommodation prices in Oia, this hostel is a huge bargain. I stayed there five nights and had a nice time, the rooms were large and there were plenty of places to enjoy the sunshine within the hostel. The rooftop bar is a great place to watch the sunset, and the cheap cocktails were delicious. However, the... More
