Location was great.
It was very clean and well kept.
There was no reception or anyone to take care of the place full time. As a result some guests lived the way they wanted, not following rules etc.

Very friendly staff, let you leave your bags after check-out
Great location, easy to find. Right in front of the bus stop from Fira to Oia
I made a mistake by booking this hostel for a couple for one night. For this money we could have stayed at a private accommodation for two people only, for the same price. It was my first time at a hostel/dormitory and I couldn’t sleep. For a couple it’s not good value for money but for a single traveller I guess it’s very good value for money, especially if you aren’t a light sleeper as myself. And it’s a great way to meet new people if you travel
alone. In my case it was a total mistake (I guess I didn’t fully understand what to expect from this experience) Some people were sick and were coughing at night, others were checking out very early in the morning. I normally go to bed at 2am, so it didn’t work for me at all. But I must admit beds were comfortable.

Located at the main location near by restaurants and shops, the host was friendly, beds were comfortable.
The room is not separated from the Washrooms, so it is not peaceful or quiet for sleeping because someone or the other keeps using the washroom and bang the door with a loud thud.
It was expensive for Hostel stay
9.0 / 10.0
It was close to all the attractions in oia. Plus it was next to many restaurants and super markets. To make it even better, the bus stop was right outside. Also- there is all self check-in but if you have any questions, you can call them and they will get back to you right away
Maybe not having someone physically there. They didn’t have towels to rent.

It’s literally near the bus station, 1 min walk upstairs. They also offered to use a pool at their different hotel but it is 400 meters away. Comfy bed.
They don’t provide towels. There’s also no reception. The bedroom does not lock and the main door was not locked the whole day we were there. A bit security concern as there’s a restaurant on the first floor.

Amazing hostel, it’s like a house with only 8 beds, a kitchen, living room and a terrace. You can use the infinity pool of their sister venue 5 mins away. Diana is available anytime if you have any doubts, she was very nice!
I loved everything!

Everything good!
8.0 / 10.0
Great location, next to the bus stop, close to everything in Oia. Kitchen is alright. The staff is amazing, Diana made me feel really welcome. There is access to a nearby swimming pool, with decent prices, had an amazing and relaxing holidays thanks to that!
Most of the guests were male of Indian - Pakistan - Asian descent, which made them quiet. Not the best balance I am accustomed to in hostels, but well, whatever. My bed was slightly worse than the pictures, and it had a bit of a wall on top which I banged myself at least three times (thank God I have a strong crane). The air-conditioning in the room was just enough, at the maximum setting, while the kitchen and common area isn't cooled at all. Overall I had a good time and I would probably visit again, if on a budget.

I had a great stay at Mosaikon! The staff were incredibly kind and helpful — they really made me feel welcome. They also gave me great tips to explore the nearby areas, which made my trip even more special. Thank you for the warm hospitality!
Nothing to say

The location in the heart of oia not far from most facilities,
I rarely saw the staff which gave an autonomy and privacy to the place.
The kitchen was great and very well equipped.

Location! You can’t get to stay in a better location than this. Center in Oia. It gets super busy during the day, but in the evenings and early morning, it is super beautiful with the views. The host is very responsive. Bathrooms are nice - cleaned everyday. Would def come back and stay when I am back in Santorini
It gets busy until like midnight. People move in and out. Plus people start to wake up around 6am.
6.0 / 10.0
Small and intimate hostel. Not many guests which was nice and the bathroom was good. Host was good.
Very small and no privacy in the beds. Everyone had to hang up sheets for privacy. Not worth the price either, much cheaper hotels around which I swapped to after 2 nights.
Also did see one of the managers asleep in one of the bunks

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.
I think I agree with others here that they could install hooks in the shower area to hang your towel, as well as a handle so that you can have the shower head spray down on you instead of holding it. But those are both minor details. The flooding issue I read about on here was totally fixed by the time I stayed here, too.

Very clean, spacious and affordable. Great location, safe and convenient.
The highlight of my stay was George, an amazing host, helpful and attentive. Thank you George.

The location is extremely good. Right next to the bus station. Place is new and very clean. You have the sea view from your room too.
But some basic amenities are lacking. Hair dryer wasn't around, microwave isn't available, and the bathroom drain was blocked

Perfect location and the lady working there was extremely friendly, caring and attentive. Clean and comfortable.
WiFi didn't work during my whole stay and there was no information about the check in when arriving to the hostel. The contact number at the site didn't give any answer, I assume that they were on a holiday as my stay was before the high season.

excellent location just above the bus stop when arriving in oia it felt more like an air bnb than a hostel. clean, well maintained, safe, great staff, in the heart of everything. ask the kind woman at the corner store for the entrance. located directly behind the building were the bus drops off. I enjoyed beautiful sunsets and great food from the surrounding restaurants definitely a great stay for the value.
everything was perfect though it would be a good addition to add a microwave oven. and a washer/dryer. LG makes an all in one unit that washes and drys LG V5WD961 Washer-dryer combination.
my only caution to travelers is that no one greets you. to check in. it's DIY the door was unlocked at my arrival and I let myself in. which many female travelers may have an issue with. I suggest that the owner install a coded doot lock, lockbox or direct travelers to a place to pick up a key for security reasons. and a security cam oia is a very laid back community but travelers come from different parts of the world as a safety precaution the added security features would attract more bookings.

Amazing place to stay in Santorini! I loved everything about my stay here!
7.0 / 10.0
It was great location, clean, accessible, comfortable!! The owner was in another nearby location and very hands on with staying in touch in case I needed anything only issue was the noise from the high winds
Duvets/comforters were provided and October being the colder months these were definitely needed as at night it gets very cold, ideally they should be used all year round as all people are different in the summer or winter times.
Also the shower room was a bit of an issue as the water then began to flow out of the shower and this area could do with a stop line, so water doesn't go under the door!!

it’s right next to the bus stop at Oia. very good location. only at night it can get a little bit noise.
comfortable beds, shower and kitchen aria.
7.0 / 10.0
Very comfortable beds, great location. Beds have individual charging facility, lockers, bedside tables and reading lights, all of which are good for a hostel situation.
Separate male and female bathroom; we had 1 guy and 7 girls staying for a night, so that was a bit unnecessary. Shower drain needed urgent unclogging, and the fridge in the kitchen had something dying inside (should be cleared much more often). Way way way overpriced for a dorm room, but it's a captive audience with hardly anything more reasonable available in Oia...
7.0 / 10.0
for me the best of this hostel was the location, just off the bus stop and perfect if you don’t want to be hauling your luggage on stairs or the hills
extremely small “apartment like” hostal, divided into two small bedrooms- separate single toilet/shower for men and women and kitchen and living space - small terrace also available

Its vibe, its style; a quality of mattress was superb. Very clean and inviting.
Perhaps the fact that there is no door between the eight bank beds and bathrooms and kitchen.
9.0 / 10.0
Good value for money for those who travel on budget.
Two top bunk beds do not have guard rails.
5.0 / 10.0
The location was perfectly positioned close to all the shopping and restaurant options, and steps away from the road to take the bus or car transportation everywhere. Harry was a great help in getting me signed up for a boat tour and alerting me when my ferry would be arriving late because of the weather conditions before departing to my next destination.
The photos for the hostel are a bit misleading! The dorm had bunk beds without privacy curtains, the towels provided where too small, the ladder to climb up to my bunk was poorly positioned near the bathroom door, we only got a sheet to cover ourselves (good luck when someone pumps up the AC at night). There were zero hooks anywhere to hang up anything whether it was near the beds or in the bathroom, which was frustrating because there was only limited space to share on a small dryer rack that was outside. A maintenance guy would come around 10am, and nudge his way to clean around the place even if we were still using the sink for example. The front door was seemingly kept unlocked at all times, which we then relied on an honor system of hopefully nothing crazy happening. Some lockers did not function properly. The shower rooms were filled with everyone’s bottles all on the ground, and often clogged. Because of the windy conditions on the island, we often heard the doors slam every so often and waking us up throughout the night. The pool is located “5 minute walk away” at another hotel location. Not the most comfortable stay, but definitely needs major improvement.
