Average experience
During our stay, staff were very pleasant and kind. The outdoor area of the hotel was beautiful and the pool was amazing and a great feature to have in such a warm island. However, the location of the hotel was a huge let down, there was a giant car park right next to the hotel and a main road on the front and side of the hotel that was incredibly noisy and you could hear most of the time. Our room lacked a lot of features like a clothes line (we noticed majority of the rooms around us had one but we didn’t), a rack to hang towels in the bathroom or a fan in the bathroom which made it very hot and unpleasant and the small window only made it incredibly noisy from the road. The rooms don’t seem up to standard compared to the outdoor area of the hotel. Our experience was hindered mostly by the fact after check out and settling the payment with the accomodation, they had charged our card an additional few hundred dollars due to a mix up made by hotel staff undercharging us and without prior consent or knowledge they withdrew the money from the card details provided at the time of booking online (which we were under the impression was for the use of securing the booking or in the chance of a last minute cancellation, not for the hotel to use to charge additional payments without consent from us first). Overall, it was an average experience.

The hotel staff was excellent. The rooms and common areas were very clean. The included breakfast was outstanding. The area will leave you speechless. Word of caution, you will be climbing many stairs to explore the area but you won't be disappointed. Make sure you watch the sunset, it's something you will never forget

This hotel is at the edge of Fira, a short walk from the bus depot, very convenient is you take bus to and from the airport, bus to other parts of the island also start here.

Slightly disappointing stay, our room was on the small side and also smelt of drains. The hotel is very close to the road so not particularly relaxing at the pool. However, the pool area was very pretty with lovely cabanas and sun beds hanging over the edge of the water.

Hotel did not send shuttle for pickup as scheduled in advanced & it was confirmed. Hotel did not provide late check out that I had requested and they confirmed in advance (it had an additional cost that we had agreed on). We had already discussed and confirmed everything via Expedia messages and come to find they denied it even though they confirmed this.

I was going to go with 3 but i had to go with 2. The staff is very friendly and the hotel is ok. There are no views, but one of a parking lot. The reason for the two is yiu have to walk a dangerous road to get into town. There are no side walks and cars are zipping by you. A couple we meet at the hotel called it death row. There needs to be a sign for the bubbles button, its no where to be found.

Nice hotel, 5 min from City-Center
Property is nice, the staff is helpful. The thing that threw me off was the room:the smallest and tightest I've ever been in. There wasn't enough room to open the full suitcase! It made for a very messy setting. Wouldn't recommend the rooms unless there are different ones. The ones we stayed in were facing the pool.

Perfect location for exploring
This hotel was our cheaper option that we started the holiday in whilst we explored the island. And the best bit about this hotel is the location, it is better value than the hotels with the view, but literally everything is within a really short walking distance. Taxi rank, Bus Station, The Main View with all the cocktail bars in Fira, the Quadbike rental, all of the cheaper restaurants in the square. All of them are within a 2/5 minute walk. There’s a supermarket across the road and the hotel is incredibly easy to find. If I went again I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here a second time. The service was amazing and the staff were so so so friendly and helpful and made our stay very relaxing even during COViD. The only thing I would say is that on the website it describes the hotel as a 5* property but at the hotel it says 4*. I would agree that it is more of a 4* property so don’t go expecting 5* luxury. We had a great time exploring the island from this hotel for the first few days before moving to more remote luxury hotels. Would definitely reccomend this as a reasonably priced option.

We had a pleasant stay at the hotel in September 20. All the facilities were still available and Covid was well managed. I was pleased that the buffet breakfast was still available, so you had plenty of choice. The cleaning/service team were fantastic and made a real effort when tidying our room. The only downside is the room was not the quietest, but I would still definitely recommend. Very well located for access to Fira, just a 5 minute walk to the main square.

3 star hotel on terms of amenities, services, conditions and location. It does not have a temporary stop for cars an taxi so we had to drag luggages about 100 meters. Breakfast is 1 star. Shower water was either too hot or too cold. We had experienced noisy night as the next room was fighting in the corridor all night.

Pros: A short walk to the main square where there are restaurants and shops. Due to our early flight departure, we had to check out at sparrow’s fart, they were kind enough to organise a breakfast doggy bag for us, which was ace. Breakfast is varied and it seems like the kitchen is the most functional aspect of this hotel. Cons: When we checked in, we found the bathroom hadn’t been cleaned (opened up soap, wrapper strewn, bath mat crumpled on the floor and (GASP) toilet paper in the loo. Major no no on the island. They fixed it up for us but that’s the last thing you want to have to deal with. You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression. Someone else’s hair remained in the shower recess for the entire length of our stay. I purposely did not complain to see whether at some stage the bathroom would actually be cleaned properly. No chance. If you are a light sleeper, do yourself a favour and look for alternative accommodation IMMEDIATELY. The walls are paper thin and you can hear the racket in the corridors or in adjacent rooms. So much for rest and relaxation. We could hear the phone ring in reception! Want to laze by the pool. Sure! The hotel is situated on a busy road so all you’ll hear is traffic and bus horns. I felt like I was in Bangkok, not sexy Santorini! Finally, the room was small, dark and dingy and just felt claustrophobic. No exhaust fan or windows in the minuscular bathroom either. Go forth and select somewhere else to stay...

Not a 5 star hotel. Absolutely no amenities, dirty floor, bed and bathroom. No blow dryer. Staff seemed miserable. One moment they try and help you, next they don't care. Absolutely no information given at the front desk.

I enjoyed the proximity of the hotel within walking distance to center of town. I didnt like the cost or logistics of the hotel shuttle. The rooms are very small and the balconies didnt allow for any privacy. Children were loud in the hallways. It would have been nice to know in advance that the hotel restaurant is only open for breakfast buffet, that the rooms are small, I thought I was getting a much bigger space for the amount of money.

The properly overall was beautiful and in a fantastic location. The room size was great and we got our room serviced daily.. sometimes twice a day! The only thing I didn’t like was that the beds were joined together to create a double bed.. this was uncomfortable as the single bed kept rolling around and it didn’t work for two people. Otherwise, everything else was great and the pool was beautiful and clean.

DONT STAY HERE NIGHTMARE!!!
This was a horrible hotel , that we stayed at. First day of arrival the air conditioner didn't work and the room was hot and smelled like mold, we had to keep calling until the switched us to a new room. The new room smelled also, I had to spray my perfume around the room to make it smell better. Then the second night the air went out in this room, but the staff said it was fine. Mind you my husband is an AC tech and we own our company, so we know when there is problem with the AC. The breakfast wasn't what we expected and the staff was very unfriendly. Worse stay ever at this hotel. Need to see what I can do about getting a refund. They didn't even want to change our rooms when we told them that the AC was not working , my husband had to demand it twice from different staff members.

Loved, loved this hotel!!! The hotel was beautiful, clean and had friendly staff. The room was big with a small bathroom though. The breakfast buffet was good. The location was great, close to the main square, taxi and bus stations. The garden and pool area were beautiful. It was only 20 min bus ride to Oia, which ran every 20 mins for €1.80/person. €20 taxi ride from airport. And there’s free parking in front and behind the hotel. Can’t say enough about this place. Would definitely stay here again!!
