Great stay!
Our stay here was amazing, Alex the reception man was extremely friendly and helpful! The cleaner was also lovely too and very accommodating. The view is beautiful and very close to the beach. Staff were always willing to help with any questions and recommendations. Bus stop into fira is very close, also close to all the restaurants and shops. A great location to stay at! Breakfast was lovely and could be served wherever you felt comfortable, room or pool. Would definitely return to this lovely hotel.

It’s a scam hotel!
Absolute scam hotel! Avoid!!! We arrived before check in to be told that the guest in our room requires late checkout - so we are escorted to a hotel down the road. This hotel was barley a 2* dirty and noisy fine we stuck with it for one day and gave them the benefit of the doubt.we arrived the next morning and aksed to check in - we are given excuse after excuse the room will be ready in 30mins 2 hrs later no room. The most ridiculous hotel ever the owner keeps getting people in and carting them off to different hotels around the island. We contacts hotels.com and got our money back we found a much nicer hotel down the road for much cheaper too! Don’t stay here honestly worst choice we made!

dissapointing
we arrived only to be told they were full so we were relocated to a different hotel which was quite a long walk away which was difficult as i have bad hips, the hotel we were put into was ok but was used for people just needing a night or 2 so it was a bit unsettled. when we were finally moved back to the drossos it soon became clear that they had not been full at all. the pool area was very untidy a large area was just unusable the pool bar had clearly been closed for sometime and the free transport and promised laundry service did not exist.the breakfast although in heated servers was always cold and therefore unappatising and the fruit juice was made with powder, a dissaponting stay overall.

little bang for the buck
Generally main issue with this room is its price. Cost is simply too high and not much is given for it. There was a problem with a bathroom where water leaked into living area whenever we took showers because the curtain was too short! We then had to wipe the floor to collect the water so that it does not affect our suitcases. Shower curtain holder was not inserted properly so it happened that it fell off the wall once and I had to fix it. There is no wi-fi in the rooms and the one available in the lobby by the reception desk works on and off, and is often very slow. TV in the room (not that I went to Santorini to watch it) was the smallest possible 12inch and it was fixed so far away from the bed up on the wall that it required binoculars to watch. Staff was pleasant (occasionally slow) and overall cleanliness was satisfactory.

Good 3 star hotel
On arrival I was checked in quickly and shown to my room. My bag was carried for me and room facilities demonstrated. The room was spacious and comfortable, beds were comfortable. The bathroom was large and fitted with a large double shower ( no bath). TV, air conditioning, fridge, plenty of hangars in the wardrobe and large terrace with sunbeds table and chairs. The pool and sun terrace were of a good size for the size of accommodation, with sunbeds and tables and chairs, two parasols and some trees for shade. Breakfast starts at 8 AM and although basic there was plenty of fresh bread, sliced meats, cheeses, fresh watermelon and tinned fruit and yoghurt, with a different hot egg dish and local specialities everyday. The location is excellent a very short walk to the beach, directly opposite a shop selling all the basics, a short walk to a larger supermarket, pharmacy, cashpoint and 24 hour bakery. A cocktail bar across the road is noisy but closes at a reasonable hour, and is handy for a drink!

We should get a refund!!
Hotel Drossos is located within walking distance of the black sand beach which is great! The staff was not very helpful and we feel that they took our money without delivering the services that we paid for. The breakfast foods are not very diverse or very tasty.

Extremely disappointed
We were extremely disappointed with our stay here. We arrived and were declined the free breakfast as it had been advertised and spent the first few hours trying to sort that out. Were disappointed to see that everything advertised was not as it seemed. They said they had a lot of amenities such as laundry, café etc this is not true, they are in the town but not at the hotel so not sure why this was advertised. We had to spend 14 Euro on laundry which is very expensive. Our room was not good, bed was broken, shower was broken, TV sound only worked every now and again. We received dirty towels on our first day. The toilet also did not flush properly and we had to put water in with shower to flush it. Extremely disappointed when all you want to do is relax and enjoy at Santorini, not have to worry about all of this at hotel.

AC didn't work, service was terrible, beds were very hard. Shower water is salty? We witnessed people with luggage washing their hair in the pool, using soap wash their bodies and brushed their teeth in pool grounds... Not sure if they were squatters.. But, definitely sketchy! The location is great, if you can find another hotel on the same road (which I did see) stay there instead!

Close to the beach, shops and restaurants. Bus stop is just a few minutes walk. The Hotel Is ok But not very clean, gardens need maintenance and the rooms a good clean everyday. There Is no drinking water in The rooms. The shower water is water from the ocean not full treated, so it is salty. The beach Is great and if you want a good place to eat and at a reasonable price go to "Poseydon" in front of the beach.

Friendly, but a bit run down
The photographs look very nice and are fairly accurate, but must have been taken a few years ago as the rooms we saw were a bit run down. We booked a superior room and it was ok, but a bit grubby and there was about an inch of fluff and dust under the bed and there was no sign of the coffee/tea maker or designer toiletries in the rooms. The towels were changed every day, but the sheets were never changed in the week we were there. The best parts of the hotel are the reception and breakfast areas. It was all a bit disappointing after seeing the description and photographs, but saying that, the staff were very friendly and helpful and we did enjoy our stay, but wouldn't stay in the Hotel Drossos again.

Great location close to The beach
Great staff very informative extremely kind & helpful.pool was great & hotel is 3 minutes walk to the beach. Hotel rooms are good size very Greek style. Breakfast was good but maybe could do with a toaster & omelettes kept warm. Bathroom light needed to be brighter. But these are not anything big overall a great place to stay everything close by & you feel very comfortable.We would stay here again if we came to santorini.

Drossos Hotel, Perissa
We had an amazing stay at The Drossos hotel from start to finish. The location is very central with the beach being a leisurely few minutes stroll down a very quiet lane at the side of the hotel. There are bars and restaurants within a few feet of the hotel but there was no noise impact as a resut of their proximity. The hotel owners are a wonderful couple that cannot do enough to help you, the room we had was bright, spacious, clean and had a wonderful balcony that gave us the afternoon sun and beautiful sunsets to watch!

Excellent service!! though I could be better!!
This is a good option is you are looking for a comfortable, clean hotel with really helpful personnel who will go the extra mile to make you feel at home... the only bad things about this stay: The rooms are too cold if you visit in other time of the year that is not summer... the heater in the rooms do not work porperly... Wireless internet does not work... I had to work in the holidays and the hotel ended up lending me their internet connection in the lobby and plugged it to my laptop... Breakfast is good but it lacks variety... boiled eggs, omelette and crepes are the only options... and it gets old really quickly... TV has just a few channels... but well, TV is not the reason why you go to Santorini anyway... Other than that the hotel is a pretty solid option... I would recommend it as a reliable low-cost option... the staff is truly helpful and they give you advices and guidance about what to do and where to go... enjoy guys!! I would def go back to Drossos hotel...

Great Hotel in Perissa
Me and my girlfriend just got home from a lovely stay at The Drossos Hotel. Very friendly staff and nice and clean rooms. Our room had the bed on a mezzanine level that may cause trouble for some guests, for us it was great as it gave us a big lounge. The breakfast is good and the location is very good close to the black beach in Perissa. There is a small pool at the hotel, but we did not use it as the sea was more tempting. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a friendly cheap and clean hotel in Santorini. Oh, and if you need an umbrella for the beach, just ask at the reception!

Checked out
Showers didn't have curtains and the commode was actually in the shower. The entire bathroom was wet after a shower. Beds were rock hard, as were pillows. Floors were dirty. No kleenex provided. The loft bedroom was very hard to reach with narrow, steep stairs. The breakfast was average. We only stayed one night. Moved to another hotel.

Hotel was clean and staff was friendly. Great location next to Perissa beaches (less than 5 minute walk) and seaside bars and cafes. However, if you're looking for a lively town and bar scene, it is somewhat inconvenient to get to Fira. Also, there is no transporation from the port included so you have to take an infrequently running bus or a taxi.

Hotel close to Perissa beach
The hotel was easy to find and conveniently closed to the black sand beach. The pool was very clean. The room was fine and have a nice terrace. Good budget option. This hotel might not be convenient for someone who is planning to stay only in Oia or Fira (since s/he will have to drive 30-45 minutes to get there). Good option for someone planning to travel all around Santorini island (which is not that big anyway). Hotel staff were very friendly.

We enjoyed our stay at Drossos because of its location, especially the proximity to the red beach. We rented an ATV on our first day but we needed a little faster transportation so we got a scooter, which got us everywhere we wanted. We had no problem riding the scooter to Fira, IA and Kamari from our hotel. Plus, the hotel will provide you with a map which consist of a few major roads that was so easy to follow. Oh! breakfast was very good too but it's the same every day.

Friendly staff and great location
This hotel is located near everything from grocery stores to the beach. The staff was very friendly and we ended up staying 2 days longer than our original plan. With access to a smaller pool on hotel grounds and a huge pool right next door that is free for hotel guests it provides something for everyone. The two rooms we stayed in were very nice - 2 levels and private balconies.

Small hotel with exceptional customer service and great location !
I was initially skeptical about the hotel but I was put at ease as soon as I met the staff that ran the hotel. The front desk staff was very polite, spoke English, helped us not only with hotel related requirements but also in our planning for the day trips and other recreational plans. The hotel itself is very clean. Even though the hotel is quite far from the airport, Oia (a popular destination in Santorini), the location is not too bad with the beautiful black sand Perissa beach within less than a 2 minute walk. The street that has the hotel has many bars, restaurants, and other amenities like public phone, mini-supermarket, bus stops, tour booking offices, etc. Overall, its a very laid back location which is what some tourists would want. The breakfast at the hotel was great and worth the price. I also had a chance to meet the person who ran the hotel who belongs to the Drossos family. His statement that "his staff is like his kids" was perfectly reflected in the way the staff handled their day to day work. The looked very happy and they were willing to help in whatever way possible. Overall, I was very very impressed with the customer service at the hotel. My wife, who works for a top hotel in the US, even mentioned that she wishes she could create the same level of customer service in her hotel.

Horrible.. à fuire
L’etablissement n’a rien en commun avec hôtel 4*.. et même 2*.. que pense que même un hostel pourrai être plus propre.. Très salle, avec un wc et douche qui laissent á désirer dans le coin de la chambre. Le lit accessible avec une échelle en bois, le hauteur du plafond n’y permet même pas s’assoir. Les tâches partout, lit salle, odeur d’humidité et toilette. Nous avons demandé drmandé le check out dès qu’on a vu la chambre. Le personnele nous a dit que c’est une location saisonière donc il fait se relaxer et se calmer. Ils int accepté de nous délivrer un check out officiell seulement après que nous avons demandé d’appeler la police. Le territoire est très vielle et pas soignée. Les photos sur le site doivent être datées au koins de 10 ans avec plein de filtres. Le personnelle prétendent d’arrêter à comprendre l’anglais dès qu’il y a un souci. La situation est horrible également: 500m de marche près une route sans trotoire.. impossible d’y rentrer au soir à pied de la promenade. D’après moi cet établissetest une fraude. C’est de l’argent volé. Nous avons dû cher her et payer un autre hôtel par nos prores moyens.

C’était une très mauvaise expérience avec un propriétaire des lieux aux pratiques douteuses. Lorsque nous sommes arrivés, nous l’avons prévenu que nous arriverons plus tôt suite à un vol en décalé. Il a dit que cela ne lui poserait aucun problèmes. Il nous a donc placé dans un autre hôtel. Le lendemain, il a insisté pour que nous restions dans cet hôtel en question (moins fameux) prétextant qu’il n y avait pas de place ( discours différent de la veille où il nous avait assuré qu’il y aurait de la place) Nous nous y sommes rendu par nos propres moyens et de force, il a pris la fuite avec une autre cliente qui subissait le même vice. Nous avons séjourné là-bas. La piscine n’étant pas celle indiqué sur les photos. La climatisation des chambres est très bruyante et aucun volet , en somme de quoi passer une nuit très agréable! La pression du pommeau de douche étant presque nulle et l’eau chaude arrive en fin de douche. Olga ( femme de ménage) s’est permise de jeter certaines de nos affaires ! Malgré ces quelques inconvénients, c’est une priorité bien située pour un séjour à Santorin. C’est une propriété typique des îles grecques.
