Hostels in South Aegean, Greece

The hostel is in an amazing location close to the main tourist area and bus stops for transportation. The convenience of being able to easily explore the city was definitely a highlight of my stay. Additionally, the AC worked well, which made for a comfortable stay. However, I was disappointed with the condition of the bathrooms (in our private suite), which had a strong smell of mold that made it difficult to use them comfortably. Also, I have to say that the owners/workers were the unfriendliest people I've ever encountered at a hostel. They seemed disinterested (and out right hostile at some points) whenever we asked questions about the hostel or Santorini.

A really cool hostel we really enjoyed staying at. We actually came here on holiday as students (22 and 21) and stayed in the girls only room. We loved the location and the beds were perfect - so comfy and had good blinds to be private from the other room mates. We did come in quite late one night after drinking so did get told off by the other girls in the room which soured the tone slightly. I don’t believe we were being overly noisy but I gathered that they are maybe on quite long backpacking trips as opposed to a fun girls holiday so maybe something to bear in mind depending on what you are planning to do in Santorini! But really good value for money and a great stay in our favourite island on our trip. The affiliate pool at Katsaboo was a nice surprise too as it was quite fancy and boujee (although you do have to pay £40 for a sun bed for the day).

Convenient location, friendly helpful staff, spacious accesible kitchen with lots of cutlery and other options for prep. Ovens and stovetops all worked fine, and fridges had lots of space. Staff had tips on local places to visit, and did outings like the highly recommended sunset sail trip. Incredible experience there What disappointed me was where I stayed in the hostel. I was put in the basement, in a room with 2 other people. The 3 beds room option does NOT work. Horrible idea, any sounds are made louder because the space is so tight. Also, during my stay, basically everyone there was sick or coughing, or something was going around. Some of the staff got sick, and a few members despite having colds or active coughs, were actively working instead of isolating or resting. I saw one member cough right into their hand then go to pick fruit to make a drink at the bar with, yikes. Some of the staff though know to be responsible and isolate... Smacked my head 5 times going to the washroom or going up and down the stairs, or under low doorways. Felt like I was a prisoner or something else by being in the basement, it really made the stay worse. Also, the room is right next to the kitchen and outdoor seating area, so all that noise comes right into your room. My suggestion: stop renting the basement out, enforce quiet hours earlier (some of the staff really did not care about that). Would not stay again, sorry. My visit to Rhodes was great except for this.

I stayed for one night, but the location is great, right in front of the bus terminal. The facilities and services are perfect for a hostel, including a kitchen, refrigerator, iron, common room, terrace, bath towels, hair dryer, carbonated coffee as a welcome drink, large lockers with locks, and paper towels. The toilets and shower rooms are separate. Separate for men and women. It was very comfortable and I wanted to stay for a few nights. The owner was also very friendly, and even though I arrived early, she happily let me check in. There is a supermarket about a 1-minute walk away. It's Oia, so it can't be helped, but the only drawback was that the price was a little high. I have light luggage so it's not a problem, but I have to climb a flight of stairs to get to the entrance.

I was travelling to Rhodes from Crete and the ferry did not arrive until 1 am. I was unsure whether to book it or not as I did not want to be stranded with no accommodation (but the ferry was such great value). I sent a few emails out and within 10 mins Michael had responded saying this was not an issue at all. I was very grateful for this and TBH I wish I had stayed as they were much more accommodating than my current Airbnb host and their Wifi was fast enough for me to do work! Great location, some amazing local food close by and the Old Town is within walking distance too! Cheers and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND staying here :-)
