Set in Oia, 1.1 km from Katharos Beach, Hostel 16 Oia offers air-conditioned accommodation and a bar. The property is located 23 km from Santorini Port, 23 km from Ancient Thera and 26 km from Archaeological Site of Akrotiri. The property is non-smoking and is situated 14 km from Archaeological Museum of Thera.

The property staff were amazing and very knowledgeable about the island. The property was very clean and the building was well taken care of. The bathroom was also spacious and clean. The location was also a plus as it sits right in the center of Oia and you can easily go to the sunset view, seashore, shops and restaurants within minutes. I would definitely stay again!

Located in Oia and with Katharos Beach reachable within 1.1 km, Central Hostel Oia provides a tour desk, non-smoking rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace. The property is situated 14 km from Archaeological Museum of Thera, 23 km from Santorini Port and 23 km from Ancient Thera. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and luggage storage space for guests.

The location is ideal, just outside the craziness of Oia and nearby the busses and grocery stores. At the same time, you can easily walk into the main drag of Oia in 2 minutes. The terrace was really big and nice for meals or relaxing. The kitchen was always clean and the bathroom was, too. The bunks were also kept clean and the fact that there are only like 8 beds in total is actually really nice. Honestly, the value is also just great. You're going to spend all your time in Oia and neighboring towns anyways, so this is the perfect, clean and affordable place to rest your head at night. The manager, Harry, was also really helpful.

Opening to a patio, the dormitory rooms of Santorini Camping & Hostel enjoy views over the pool, the garden or the Aegean Sea. The dormitory rooms are equipped with A/C, while the tents come with a fan. All accommodation types include a shared bathroom with shower.

Santorini camping hostel is huge. They have a big pool and layout away. A full restaurant with bar is located next to the pool. The site is a block from the main town. If you prefer a more quiet atmosphere it would be ideal for you.

At the hostel, every room comes with a patio. The rooms have a kettle and a private bathroom with a shower, while selected rooms also boast a kitchen. At Caveland each room is fitted with bed linen and towels.

Such an awesome and unique place to stay. We booked a private “cave” for two and it was so comfortable, and surprisingly big! The hostel grounds are reason enough to stay with a lot of outdoor seating and a nice pool, but the staff were definitely the best part of everything. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, and they even helped us book a last minute tour so we could see the whole island before we left. The rooms were also nice and cool on their own, no need for turning on the A/C! Highly recommend this unique experience.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    It's one of the best hostels I ever stayed during my travels. The location is right in the centre of Oia and next to the bus station. The dormitory is very clean, the bed is well equipped with curtain so you could have your privacy. Next to the bed, there is a small cabinet where you could store your personal stuff (please bring a padlock!). There is also a power socket and a night light for reading. Shared bathroom is spacious and clean as well. Overall, the arrangement is very thoughtful for the comfort of travelers.

    I highly recommend this hostel- from the staff to the facilities, it was exceptional. I was warmly welcomed and there was nothing the staff could do more to accommodate me. Most importantly, the dorm rooms were split into male and female, which as a solo traveler is very important to me. I felt safe, comfortable (the mattresses are amazing) and well cared for. It was also very pretty and well designed! I can’t recommend this hostel more.

    Fantastic hostel in a great location, very convenient next to the bus station. Feels very homely and more like an Air B n B experience than feeling like you’re in a hostel. Staff very friendly and helpful. Hairdryer now installed. Highly recommend.

    Eva was a great host, she made us felt very welcome and assured us that she’ll be there to help with anything we needed! She took the initiative to check on us daily via texting if all was good. Really appreciate it a lot! Great location! Less than 100 steps to the centre where all tourists goes to! Very convenient with all the Supermarkets and shops nearby! Nice restaurants all around that suits all types of budget! Lastly, Very comfortable bedding!

    Great location. A few minutes walk from the centre so nice and quiet. Lots of small thoughtful touches, a kettle in the room, a safe, good hairdryer etc. Loved the view of the sea from my balcony (and could watch the sunset from the pool!) . Really friendly helpful people. Was able to hang around the pool on my last day (late flight) which was a lifesaver. Right behind a bus stop
