Reviews
Someone came to help us with our bags on arrival & departure.
The lady who runs the hotel, is absolutely lovely & helped us so much when we stayed at the hotel due to a medical emergency. She made phone calls & organized taxis & travel arrangements for us, her kindness meant a great deal to us. We would very happily stay here again.
Hearty breakfast.
A big plus for the staff, very friendly.
Outside the garden and pool area were very clean and welcoming to swim and relax. Breakfast was so fresh and yummy and stuff members made sure no plate was left empty. Also price was really good. Over all we had the best experience and highly recommend this hotel.
1. There is a bus stop just 20 seconds walk from the hotel.
2. Traveling to Fira is just 10 minutes on the bus and it costs €2 per person each way. You can get a bus to all the other islands from Fira for the same fare.
3. There are a lot of restaurants around the hotel and supermarket where you can get everything you need.
4. The hotel is very very clean, the rooms get cleaned every day by the friendly hardworking staff.
5. The breakfast is very nice.
6. The pool gets cleaned every day
7. The staff members are super hard-working and super friendly and extremely supportive.
8. My birthday was the day after my arrival and I got the best birthday cake with a birthday song in the Greek language which was so beautiful.
The owner is very humble, and respectful and speaks fluent English and French.
I will recommend this hotel to everyone. It is suitable for families, couples, groups etc.
My flight was in the night and the owner gave me an office to keep our baggage and provided towels for us if we needed to have a shower.
I will surely come back to such a beautiful hotel.
