Good match for:

  • Budget Social Travelers: Mixed dorms and communal areas make it easy to meet fellow backpackers.
  • Sightseeing Explorers: Walk to key attractions like the cable car and prehistoric museum within minutes.

Things to keep in mind:

  • Families with Children: Children under 18 are not permitted, making this hostel unsuitable for families.
  • Luxury Seekers: Facilities are basic and geared toward budget travelers, not upscale comfort seekers.

Got very useful information at the reception on where to go and what to visit. I would...

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.
