How Couple-Friendly is Fira Backpackers Place?

View Map

What makes it 61% Couple-Friendly: Cheap private bunk-bed rooms, pool and 8-min stroll to Caldera sunsets suit budget pairs, yet hostel ambience, shared bathrooms and lack of double beds cut romance; reception not 24 h.

I had an excellent 3 night stay. Comfort, cleanliness, and even the reception were great (especially from Matthew). There's a great atmosphere at night and everything is close by. If I ever come back to Santorini, I would definitely come back.
