    We had an excellent stay at this friendly hotel! The staff, Aleksander and Spiros, were very knowledgeable and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The room was comfortable with a small balcony, and it faced the back of the hotel, ensuring a quiet atmosphere. The location was great, as it was very close to the beach and within walking distance to various nice restaurants. Additionally, the hotel arranged fantastic activities for us, including a wine tour and a boat trip on the Thalassa. The breakfast was lovely, with plenty of delicious options to choose from. The hotel's location right next to the bus stop made it easy for us to connect in Fira and explore other parts of the island.

    Nothing I didn't like to be fair.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel in Santorini and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. Firstly, the value for money was fantastic. I couldn't believe how affordable it was considering the amazing location right on the ocean front. Being able to wake up to the sound of the waves and enjoy a lovely balcony with a view made my stay truly special. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, always going above and beyond to ensure my needs were met. The basic amenities provided, such as air conditioning and a private balcony, added an extra touch of comfort. Lastly, the breakfast spread was impressive, with both hot and cold options included. There were so many choices to suit every taste. I couldn't fault this hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful holiday experience.

    All was great, no improvements needed.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at a hotel in Santorini and I couldn't be happier with my experience. Firstly, the hotel was impeccably maintained and spotlessly clean, a testament to the attention to detail and care taken by the staff. The elegant furnishings added a touch of luxury to the overall ambiance. Additionally, the location was fantastic, only a short distance from the beautiful beach and conveniently close to the bus stop and local amenities. The rooms were a delight, with plenty of natural light and comfortable beds ensuring a pleasant stay. Breakfast was a highlight, with a diverse and delicious buffet offering both hot and cold options. It was a great way to start the day, especially with the option to have personalized dishes made on the spot. the hotel exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend it.

    Frankly, there was nothing I could fault about this hotel. Everything exceeded my expectations and I couldn't have asked for more.

    We had a fantastic stay at a hotel located just off the main strip, a stone's throw away from bars, restaurants, shops, and the beach. The room was spacious, clean, and provided all necessary comforts. The bathroom was also a decent size and had a good shower. The staff were super friendly, helpful, and had a great sense of humor. The breakfast had plenty of choice and the hotel had a great pool. the hotel was in the center of everything and we couldn't have asked for a better location.

    The only downside was that the beds were a bit hard and uncomfortable, which made sleeping a little difficult.

    The hotel had a great location near the sea, just a short walk from the beach. There were plenty of nice restaurants and tavernas nearby, making it convenient for dining out. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with a spacious bathroom. The staff provided excellent service, being helpful and friendly. The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of options, including delicious Greek yogurt. Additionally, the hotel had a private pool and well-maintained grounds, providing a pleasant atmosphere for relaxation.

    Some of the staff members lacked enthusiasm and didn't greet guests with a smile.
