Enjoyed time here
Great hostel that was really cheap and really clean. It's not modern and could do with a couple of things that you become accustomed to in hostels like lockers, soap in the bathroom to wash your hands. But all in all it's a great place to stay Was good to stay in Oia as the sunsets are magnificent. The price also includes breakfast which is three slices of really fresh bread and a piece of cake. Simple but i liked it. At least it was fresh. The staff are quite nice and relaxed and friendly. It's a quiet relaxing place where you will meet good people. The bar is good, not cheap but not a rip off, where you can get drinks and limited food and watch the partially obscured sunset. I would recommend walking the very short distance to the end of Oia to watch the sunset in full view, you will never forget it! The buses here are confusing and sometimes run very late or not at all so leave extra time to get to ferries.

Just loved it
The hostel is a wonderful place to stay at. The atmosphere is open and friendly; the location is beautiful, quiet, and central; and you get very good value for your money. A place worth staying and having a great time. Highly recommended!

This hostel located in Oia village. One of the most beautiful village in Santorini. It's a small peaceful hostel in Greek traditional white and blue color. Its location is just great. Just about 5 min walk from the bus stop. There's only 1 bus stop in this village and the village is not a big one. From here you can easily walk to the sun set point. the port where you can take a boat trip to the volcano and hot spring, and a small black sand beach. This hostel is a family run. It's a quiet and friendly hostel. The manager are very friendly and helpful. He's ready to give you help about anything. They don't offer personal locker but if you want you can leave your vaulable things at the hostel office, they will lock them for you. This hostel has 2 floors. The bed rooms are on the first floor and on the second floor there's a small bar, which is also the hostel office, and the balcony. From the bar's balcony you can see the beautiful view of Aegean see. This is where you will have your breakfast served. There're dorms for girls, boys, and co-ed. The bed sheets are clean. If you need blanket, he'll give it to you without charging. There's no curfew or log out. So you can come back anytime you like. There're 3 bathrooms and 3 toilets.The bed rooms are big and the toilets are clean. The water is warm. If you arrive by Ferry, you will have to take the bus to Thira(Fira) first and then take another bus to Oia (Ia). The buses cost 1.20 euro and 0.90 euro each (May 2004) . It takes about 25 min to go from Thira to Oia. When you reach Oia, just ask the information center at the bus stop. They will show you the way to the hostel.

Very good hostel, with a clean, nice courtyard and eating area. The staff are helpful. While it is cheap for singles and adults, there are no discounts offered for children or for those traveling during the low season, when other hotels have lowered there prices considerably. Still recommended.

The best hostel I have ever stayed in. Very friendly management, clean and pretty. Excellent value for the money - it was 14 euros per night including breakfast last year (2003).
