The property was fine and Front Desk Girl was excellent. However, no microwave was a deal breaker for me!!!! Hot plate that did not work was there. They need a microwave

Stayed in a 2 bed loft style room which was amazing! Loved the pool and how close it was to the 3 Bells of Fira. Friendly reception staff as well.

Value for money
Value for money place in Firastephani, only 5 mins away from Fira if you drive. Just rent a car at airport or ferry and see the whole of Santorini.

Great budget option for 3 friends. Location was good, just a short (uphill) walk to Fira and a 15-20 min walk to the Fira bus station. It was a bit noisy as it was on a busy road. Room was clean and as expected. Pool was small but nice. Front desk staff was excellent: friendly and communicative. Would stay again if looking for a cheaper option

Location was perfect between Thira, Imerovigli and Firostefani. Rooms were clean and good condition, only downside was no window in the bedroom for some fresh air, but there was a window in the living room. Also plumbing can smell a bit in the bathroom once you turn on the shower, but it does eventually subside.

The hotel is overall in ok shape. Room is very basic, the room we stayed had sewer smell from kitchen sink drain. Talked to front desk, was told can't do much except to pour in some liquid. We could not use the kitchen, had to cover all the openings to drainage. Apparently tap water is not safe to drink in the area, we had to buy and carry large bottles of drinking water to the hotel. There isn't a close place to buy water either. Overall the stay was not so pleasant. Location is about 30mins walk from Fira bus station, kind of far with up hill and very narrow roads at several places. Front desk was welcoming.

I was travelling with my brother and we needed separate beds/rooms and this was perfect! We had our own space and the price was appropriate. The pool was super clean and cool with shade. The rooms have air conditioning and are super clean - cleaned daily! The front staff were super helpful and friendly. They really want you to have a great stay. The hotel is a short 5-10 minute walk to Firostefani and Fira where it is busy and loud. It was much quieter a short walk away. We had an awesome stay!

13 August 2019
The hotel does not change the sheets and coverts for beds, as I found blood in the covert of my single bed.
In addition, the bed are in bad conditions as the leg of one of the two single was broken. We wait for 30-45 minute at 11pm for the bed to be repaired.
It was a nightmare, people were not friendly to solve the issue and did not give any compensation, not even an apology. I do not recommend to book this apartment, they do not offer a service For the price you pay.
