Pros:

Prostředí hotelu bylo krásné a udržované.

Cons:

V oblasti bezbariérového ubytování jsou nedostatky v přístupu do koupelny a v pohybu po hotelu. Schod do jídelny a některé sjezdy jsou pro vozíčkáře příliš strmé.

Um Santorini kennen zu lernen ist dieses Hotel sehr zu empfehlen. Es waren sehr schöne 4 Tage und wir kommen sehr gerne
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt nur 100 m vom Strand entfernt und liegt mitten im lebhaften Zentrum von Kamari. Der Flughafen liegt auch nur 3 km vom Hotel entfernt. Trotzdem ist es im Hotel sehr ruhig und man kann sich gut erholen. Es gibt eine gute Busverbindung zur Hauptstadt Thira und nach Oia. Gastgeberin Barbara und ihr Team sind überragend. Sie unterstützen bei allen Fragen und kümmern sich rührend um die Gäste. Beide Poolanlagen sind sehr sauber und laden zum Baden und Cillen ein. Das Frühstück ist auch sehr vorzüglich und immer frisch.

Cons:

Es gab nichts zu beanstanden. Alles war perfekt.

Pros:

Posizione ottima. Mare a due passi.

Cons:

Nel complesso posso dire che è andato tutto molto bene. I titolari sono molto carini e disponibili. Si sono preoccupati di tutto dall’arrivo alla partenza, chiamandoci anche un taxi per il viaggio in aeroporto

Toppenbra på alla vis!
Pros:

Härliga pooler och skönt att hotellet inte låg på strandpromenaden (lite lugnare här). Vi stannade bara en natt innan hemresa men var alla mycket nöjda (vi är en barnfamilj med två barn samt en mormor). Lägenheten var två våningar och väldigt fräsch och modern. Bonus var den enkla restaurang rakt över gatan med supergod gyros i pita. Vi kommer gärna tillbaka.

Good location
Pros:

I liked the swimming pool, and the person who attended to us was very nice. It has a very good location near the beach and near the bus station.

Cons:

The breakfast was quite basic and not particularly good. The room and bathroom were not very clean, and the bathroom lighting was poor. There were no extra pillows or blankets in the room, and since it was very cold, we had to request an extra blanket from reception. As there was no phone in the room, we had to go there in person.

Heerlijke dagen
Pros:

De ligging is top. Je loopt zo naar de boulevard of winkelstraat. Auto gehuurd in dezelfde straat bij erg vriendelijke mensen. Ze hebben ons zelfs naar de ferry gebracht met onze gehuurde auto

Cons:

Zwembad werd ineens groen water. Kregen ze niet meer goed. Niet gezwommen dus

Très bon séjour
Pros:

Propreté , les 2 piscines au calme et sans vis à vis car ce n’est pas le cas de tous les autres hôtel en front de plage .
La personne de l’accueil est toujours prête à vous aider et vous renseigner.
Les chambres sont spacieuses .

Cons:

La chambre côté des tavernes est un plus bruyante que le côté piscine.

Pros:

The room was very comfortable, and the cleanliness throughout the hotel was excellent. The hotel has two small swimming pools. The staff were incredibly attentive, showing great attention to detail, and the location just a short walk to the beach and near amazing restaurants was perfect.
We had a great time

Cons:

The only thing we didn't like was having to check out and leave! We genuinely wished we could have stayed longer ;)

Pros:

Il soggiorno all’Hotel Hippocampus è stato semplicemente perfetto. La struttura è in una posizione ideale, a pochi passi dal mare e vicinissima a ristoranti e negozi, ma allo stesso tempo tranquilla e rilassante. Le camere sono moderne, pulitissime e curate nei dettagli, con ogni comfort necessario.

La piscina è bellissima, sempre ben tenuta, e rappresenta un’oasi di pace dopo una giornata alla scoperta dell’isola. La colazione è varia, abbondante e di ottima qualità, con prodotti freschi e gustosi.

Un ringraziamento speciale va al personale: tutti gentili, disponibili e sempre sorridenti, pronti a dare consigli preziosi su cosa visitare a Santorini. Ci siamo sentiti accolti come a casa.

Consiglio vivamente l’Hippocampus a chiunque cerchi un soggiorno indimenticabile a Santorini.
