Empfehlenswertes Hotel in guter Lage
Pros:

extrem freundliches und hilfsbereites Team, Einrichtung der Zimmer ist modern und zweckmäßig, die gesamte Anlage inklusive Poolbereich als auch die Zimmer sind absolut sauber und gepflegt, das Frühstücksbuffet bietet eine große Auswahl und wird stets nach gefüllt, ein Supermarkt, der Busbahnhof und das Zentrum von Thira sind zu Fuß in wenigen Minuten erreichbar

Cons:

Das Hotel liegt an einer sehr befahrenen Zufahrtsstraße nach Thira. Dadurch war es auf unserem Balkon schon sehr laut. Die Zimmer mit Poolblick sind sicherlich ruhiger.
Sauberkeit wird in diesem Hotel groß geschrieben, ich finde nur den täglichen Wechsel aller Handtücher nicht sehr ökologisch.

Tudo perfeito

Pros:

Todo perfecto, sin duda una gran elección a la hora de elegir visitar Santorini. Las instalaciones del hotel eran increíbles, tanto la habitación como la zona común de piscina. El servicio inmejorable, todo el personal muy atento y Eva encantadora en el trato.
Otro punto a destacar el desayuno, mezclaba muy bien lo griego con el desayuno internacional típico.

The hotel was ideally located and suited our needs as a base to explore Santorini
Pros:

The hotel was ideally located, only 5 minutes walk from the town. The breakfast was good each morning, and offered a great variety of hot and cold options. The staff were very friendly, accommodating and remembered which room we were in each evening when we returned to the hotel. We stayed in October, so did not use the pool, but it looked very clean and well maintained.

Cons:

On the downside, the bathroom in our room was very small and the hose in the shower was kinked, resulting in reduced water pressure. There was also a drain smell in the bathroom. The in-room safe was not bolted to a solid surface, and the battery needed to be replaced.

I am so glad I choose this hotel for my trip to Santorini
Pros:

What a wonderful hotel! Everything was truly outstanding. The hotel arranged transportation from the airport to the hotel and it went smoothly. Check-in was quick and efficient. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent and the staff was the best. The hotel is only a short walk to downtown Fira. I am completely satisfied and would stay here if I am in Fira in the future.

Perfect stay in Fira
Pros:

Beautiful hotel, room was excellent with amazing view of volcano and the sunset. Breakfast was good. Location good, just a 5 minute walk to the main square, shops and restaurants but far enough out of town to avoid the crowds. The outstanding part for us was the staff, namely Eva who was on reception both days we were there. She was just lovely, smiling and so helpful. She really couldn’t do enough to help us. She really is a star.

Cons:

Nothing.
