We visited Santorini for the first time on our 30th wedding anniversary. We were allocated room 5 right next to the kitchens and a walk through for other rooms, which on one night was a little noisy. We asked to be moved the girl on reception (sorry can't remember her name) she couldn't do enough for us and got us a much quieter room. Unfortunately we recieved some bad family news from home and had to get home asap. The receptionist girl went above and beyond in helping us get flights home, the Jet2 rep came out to see if we were ok. When she sorted our flights the hotel owner (George I think) took us to the airport. Although our holiday was cut short the hotel staff were so kind when we were beside ourselves, can't thank them enough for all their kindness.

Small clean hotel with large deep pool, and excellent staff. Whole hotel has chilled vibe, it’s no 5 star hotel of course but to be honest it was just perfect for lazy pool days with Alex and other lady (sorry I forgot your name) working the pool bar and snacks made by Helen (hope this is correct spelling) they work really hard to keep the relaxed vibe they made the holiday a great experience. We’re not into banging club music or hotel entertainment in the evening- so this was a relief, none of that nonsense here. Recommend to eat breakfast elsewhere short walk to seafront for large choices and evening meals. Rooms were dated but more importantly clean with air conditioning. Minor niggle is WiFi worked in common areas but in rooms patchy and slow. Great value for me it overall. Tysm for a lovely week we will return im sure!
Where do I start. Exactly what you need, close to all amenities, 2 minutes from the beach, very warm family run hotel. Alex at the pool bar is exceptional and very welcoming. Rooms are great and cleaner's work very hard .We will be definitely going back.
We stayed here 5 nights from the 23rd of June on B&B We had rooms 5 and 7 on the ground floor near the breakfast room and over looking the road( which is quiet) We were checked in by the lovely Francesco who we chatted with most nights on our return from our night out. The breakfast was the same most days and would have been nice to have a croissant or pain du chocolate seeing as there are two bakeries near by. the Cornflakes were not good quality. The pool bar was good and the food and drink very good lovely staff in there. some people did leave their towels on the beds and for a few days we could not around the pool so went to the beach. the rooms were clean and the beds very comfy, small bathroom, and air con provided which was nice. easy stroll to the beach or supermarket and to Dorians for a cheap drink. The restaurants along the front were good and we found a fantastic Italian restaurant(Sirocco) on the back road with the best pizzas. We would return to this hotel for sure. Thank you Rachel, Andy & Jack.
I stayed at this hotel as a solo traveller for 4 nights in June. My room was spacious with a double bed and single bed, plenty of wardrobe/storage space, a small kitchen and bathroom and a good sized balcony. The room was cleaned daily to a very good standard.
Breakfast was lovely with the option of sausage, bacon, omelette, boiled eggs, pancakes, cheese, ham, fruit, cereal, yogurt and toast.
The pool area was spacious and the pool a decent size. On my first day I did struggle to get a sun lounger (which was primarily an issue as multiple people had reserved them and didn’t use them until later in the day, if at all!), but I had no issues for the remainder of my stay.
All staff I spoke to were happy and friendly, particularly the man at the poolside bar.
The poolside bar did a very good selection of food options (paninis, gyro, salads, chips, pasta dishes etc) at reasonable prices. The voucher for a welcome drink was also a nice touch.
WiFi was good around the pool area and in communal areas, but didn’t work in my room. This is the only reason I haven’t given the hotel 5 stars, as I couldn’t fault anything else.
The hotel is in a great location and is within walking distance of the beach, shops, bars and restaurants.
Overall I had a brilliant stay and would definitely book here again if I came back to Santorini.
