"Very nice hotel just a 15 minute walk into Fira town. From there, it's easy to take the bus (2-3€) to Oia or down to Akrotiri or Red Beach--all worth visiting. Note that the walk to hotel is slightly up/down hill, but not bad. We stayed in the junior suite, which was spacious and had a nice balcony view. Good breakfasts with different variety of items each morning. They arranged taxi transport from the airport for us. Would definitely recommend this hotel."

8/10 Good
"Room and bathroom was nice, updated and clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Swimming pool was nice as well. Two things that bothered me was the AC was bit noisy, maybe they need servicing or replaced but the inconsistant vibrating noise was disturbing at night. Another thing to consider replacing is the single sofa/bed. Since it also works as sofa for watching tv, the edge side where people mostly sit has sunken in. So when you sleep on it, it slopes slightly and feels bit uncomfortable. However, the thickness of mattress is great. We had a good time in the hotel overall."

It is too intense. Owner should consider changing."
