Very pleasant staff and very helpful. The view is amazing. The property clean. They should just mention the number of steps up and down as some people definitely can’t do it and at least for the luggage! Nevertheless, one of the staff I named him Hercules helped us a lot with the luggage down and up 😄

Amazing views from our shared terrace. Great breakfasts served daily to our room table (different each day). Staff very friendly but not over powering - Levani was a great help carrying both cases up 86 steps - thanks. Only downside was no pool, but we knew about this before we booked so was ok. Room cleaned everyday with fresh towels. It was very peaceful & would highly recommend - stayed Aug 23 - John & Gavin

Amazing property! The receptionist was so lovely and welcoming and very helpful in helping us plan our way around the island with transfer services. Also the breakfast was delicious and it was amazing having it served on our patio table with the view. Would suggest this place to anyone wanting a great place on a budget relative to other places in Santorini in a good central area.

No water!
Fab location with a few minor things that let it down. The water had little to no pressure, twice (in 24hrs) there was not enough for showering. The first time we called the emergency number (reception isn’t manned at night - we at a problem around 10.30 after returning from a late hike). We left a message and no one returned our call or check in the morning. In the morning we tried again, at first there was water and then it stopped. I managed to find someone who told me ‘it happens in santorini’. Eventually some pressure came back but it wasn’t anywhere near a good shower. We also ordered bfast for 9. It didn’t come until nearly 20 past. When it did it was good, local and served with an amazing view! If it wasn’t for the water situation and the apparent lack of ability to fix it the stay would have been great

We appreciate your ffedback and we are sorry we didn't meet your needs.Unfortunately the water pressure is an issue of the island that happens sometimes during high season that the island is crowded, and there's nothing we can do about it.Regarding the delay of your breakfast I apologise as it seems that something took us out of time.

We loved our stay at Manos Small World. The hotel is adorable and the room was spacious with a gorgeous view of the caldera. Breakfast in the Terrance was magnificent with delicious food. The hotel is central and you can walk to shops and restaurants. The staff was so welcoming, kind, and very helpful. Definitely would recommend it to others.

The view is beyond words!
This is the place if you are looking for a fantastic view of the Caldera. If you are driving, free parking is a short walk away. There are minor flaws i.e., hot water could run out during peak periods or if you are taking a shower way too long ... but all these minor niggling issues will disappear as soon as you walk out of your room. The incredible view is just that ... incredible! I will be happy to stay here again, and again.

PLZ BOOK THIS! it’s in a great location and the staff is amazing. there’s only two downfalls to this place is the bed and the stairs to go from hotel to the town. the bed was very thin and deff put a number on my back. the stairs really get your steps in for sure so beware that. but you’re in greece everywhere has stairs. staff was more than excellent. they carried our bags down the stairs when we arrived and when we left they carried all of them UP.. great location great views highly recommend maybe only a day or 2 since the mattress. fira is 15 min walk

Awesome stay, GREAT LOCATION!
The room was fairly large and comfortable, the mattress was hard and thin, the bathroom was a bit small and the shower was running out of water frequently, you had to wait with soap in your eyes for more water to come. On a positive note, the terrace offers AMAZING panoramic views of the caldera, and there were NO issues with our group staying up very late with music on the terrace. We had a very good time here!

Santorini caldera views from Manos Small World are out of this world. The best part of our stay was waking up each morning and enjoyed Caldera's blue ocean and sky and enjoying our breakfast in the balcony. The entire staff was super friendly. Special thanks to Efthimis for making our stay extra special with his personalized service. The only improvement for hotel is providing better lighting in the shower area but killer views, friendly service, and convenient location to everything more than makes up for 1-shortfall.

Had the most wonderful stay at Manos Small World with my partner this past week. When we arrived, we were upgraded to one of the bigger suites and the view off the balcony is absolutely breath taking. The breakfast is a continental breakfast (there is a sheet you can fill in every day and drop of at reception) and it is definely worth getting because you can enjoy it while watching the caldera. All of the staff were extremely helpful with our stay including helping us with our luggage up and down the stairs, getting taxis for us and recommending us places to go :) No complaints at all. On top of that firostefani is right at the door step so there is no shortage of fantastic food options and fira city centre is just 8 mins walk down the road. (but you can also take the bus from the station right outside of the hotel, it will go from firostefani to fira or firostefani to oia) Go book this place. It made our trip.

Very nice location and view. Modest interior (2 star?). Cleanliness was OK but not good. Sink was clogged (and did not get fixed even after we asked to). Couch was stained. The description said 2 beds - it was one but a rollout was brought in no time. Communication was OK, even though some of my requests were left unanswered. Quite a few mixups. There is no pool but upon request we were allowed to use another one 100 meters away. If it was not for the location and view - I would not choose this place. The price for this quality was outrageous- but I guess that’s Santorini :)

Amazing place located close to the heart of Fira. The manager is A service and made you feel like you were family. It is located right on the caldera with a bunch of other hotels so you will definitely feel like you are part of an authentic Santorini experience. All the amenities working extremely well, and oh that view, it will make you dream about if for years.

This small hotel had a lovely view of the caldera, be prepared to go up and down about 45 steps to/from the hotel, but this is true of any place along the cliff side that you will stay. Overall, property was wonderful, breakfast served every morning, the owner was very nice. Room was spacious with seating area, small table for eating. Only complaint was shower head should probably be replaced, other than that, highly recommend.

This is a great property. We enjoyed the stay and the peace during the off season. Aegean Sea was so attractive and the island views was absolutely beautiful. We had a gorgeous view right in front of our rooms. The staff were warm and helpful. Checking-in and out were pleasant. The rooms were spacious and clean. Our breakfast was good. We would stay here again if we ever visit Santorini again!
