Perfect in Santorini

Amazing location. Very close to black sand beach. If staying more than 3 days, suggest renting a car to see all the sights and incredible sunsets. Hotel was exceptionally clean, breakfasts were very good and varied. Many, many restaurants Strolling the beach at night after dinner was a perfect way to end the day

Fabulous stay

Wonderful stay, lovely hotel and wonderful service. Room was lovely and very comfortable. All staff very helpful. Hotel ideal location as close to the beach , restaurants and bus stop. Fifteen minute walk to the open air cinema. We hired a car for 2 days and saw most of the island, but can do this also via bus if preferred . Would visit again and would recommend.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We loved the Hippocampus for out 5 night stay. It's a well amenitied hotel with 2 beautiful pools and a 2 minute (or less) walk to the beach. It is also close to the bus stop for going to Thira/Oia. The staff (shout out to Elpida especially who clearly loves making her clients happy) is warm and very helpful. We upgraded our room to the maisonette, which is located ground level with a big porch and has 2 bedrooms (one upstairs) and a small living room. The hotel offers a nice breakfast buffet, robes, slippers, toiletries, and beach towels. The only thing we didn't appreciate was the sulphur smell that took a bit of getting used to. That being said, we would stay there again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it!
