Hotell i Santorini (ö)

Disappointing in comparison to reviews read through trip advisor. Rooms large but very spartan, and the climb to the hotel is not for the faint hearted! Sensational view of the caldera! Would not consider this "hotel" accommodation, rather serviced room. Tiny bathroom with no provisions. Not a relaxing room to retreat to after a long day of sightseeing, probably would not choose this accommodation again.

staff was extremely accomodating and excellent location.

Seeing Santorini is best done by car. The walks to Fira from Tholos Resort are possible but uphill on the way back from town. The resort itself requires lots of stair-walking from the rooms to the pool and to to the road. The staff was very generous and friendly although not always knowledgeable about the details for sightseeing, directions to various parts of the island, maps, etc. Anyone with physical disabilities would find this a difficult place to stay.

as a base to check out the island its kind of cool.. its close to oia so you can go to restaurants at night and enjoy amazing views but it has easy access without pushing you through tiny ally ways.. however - greek cabin style accommodation is not everyones cup of tea and if you want the cave experience which we did then you need something else.. we booked two nights and paid upfront through orbitz.. we were happy to lose money and pay somewhere else in oia for the second night because we really wanted the cave experience and oia hotels offer it in abundance.. our disappointment was based on our tastes and needs.. for people liking to have a "pad" and who rent a cars its a very cool option

Volcanos Villas was a great choice for our honeymoon and first visit to Greece. Here's a bit of the pros & cons. The only cons (4) were these: 1) Per my emails with the hotel, we had arranged for pick up at the airport, but no such ride arrived. When I called the hotel, they instructed us to take a cab. However, the price for the cab was the same as what they had quoted in the email, so perhaps there was just a communication misunderstanding. Also, our room was ready upon our arrival (8am), so we were VERY thankful not to have to wait until the 3pm check in time (this outweighed the confusion about the ride). 2) Breakfast was somewhat limited and we didn't eat at the hotel at all other than breakfast. However, one of our favorite parts of the whole trip was our time dining at Santorini Mou, the taverna that is literally steps directly across from the hotel. GREAT food, atmosphere, music, etc. 3) The pool seemed to close a bit early (just after sunset). There were times we'd get back from sightseeing and would have loved to get in a late evening dip. 4) The hotel is a bit removed from Oia, but it is within walking distance. At first we were a bit turned off by this, but then found the path to town that is on the caldera side and found it to be a very enjoyable walk. (Also, being near Santorini Mou was worth it!!). As you can see, the cons were outweighed by a pros, which were many. Friendly staff, internet access available, great having a kitchenette in our room, great sized pool, very inviting room, GREAT view from our patio and anywhere on the hotel grounds. Having a semi-private patios was lovely for breakfasts or evening glass of wine. We'd certainly stay there again and will treasure our memories. A great value!

The hotel is bit far from all the action, but close enough to the bus station, the staff had a wonderful disposition and were very eager to assist!! Family of 4 from New York!!

The location of this hotel is great. It is within walking distance to great shopping and nightlife in fira. The hotel is on a one way street and has great parking very close. The pool and showers are very nice. The staff is not extremley friendly but did accomodate us well. The rooms in the pictures look very nice but must be taken at some interesting angles. We were looking for a luxury hotel for one night for our wedding party. I wish we would have spend the extra money and stayed at the wedding site which was the donnas villas.

Bei Ankunft am Flughafen kein Transferbus. Als wir am morgen sehr früh ca. 06.50 ankamen, mussten wir auf unser Zimmer warten. Das war uns klar, weil wir gelesen hatten, Zimmer erst ab 14.00 Uhr frei. Aber uns wurde versprochen, dass wir um 08.00 Uhr ein Zimmer bekommen. So gegen 08.30 Uhr wurden wir zum Zimmer geführt. Ueberraschung: das Zimmer war belegt. Schöne Enttäuschung! Uns wurde ein anderes Zimmer gezeigt, viel kleiner und überhaupt nicht schön! Kein warmes fliessendes Wasser, man musste ca. eine halbe Stunde warten. Um l3.00 Uhr bekamen wir endlich unser erstes Zimmer, dass uns am Anfang gezeigt wurde, aber besetzt war. Wir haben so einen halben Tag vertrödelt! Man hätte uns sagen können, Zimmer erst um 14.00 Uhr, dann hätten wir uns anderst organisiert! Weiter: das Duschgel war fertig, habe freundlich für Nachschub gefragt, aber es kam nichts. Wir mussten ohne duschen. Zwei Mal ging unsere Türe nicht auf, der Chip funktionierte nicht! Kein prompter Service. Einmal fehlten die Handtücher! Einmal fehlte das WC Papier! Am Vorabend vor unserer Abreise, haben wir bei der Reception ein Taxi schon vorbestellt und den Call Boy für unser Gepäck organisiert. Am morgen bei der Abreise, haben wir uns verabschiedet, verliessen das Hotel, der Tranferbus war pünktlich da. Im Transferbus waren noch zwei Hotelgäste. Es verging eine Viertelstunde, kein Gepäck. Da haben wir ins Hotel angerufen, der Receptionist hatte mir gesagt, er finde keinen Call Boy. Wir mussten eine halbe Stunde auf unser Gepäck warten. Die anderen Hotelgäste waren wütend und wir auch! Wir sind sehr enttäuscht über den Service von diesem Hotel! Wirklich Schade, Dienstleistung gleich Null! Kein Viersternhotel, kein kompetentes Personal, kein prompter Service für den ziemlich teuren Aufenthalt! Und zuletzt mussten wir noch Euro 25 für den Bustransfer bezahlen!

The hotel is in a great location, but nothing fancy. Large pool and they do have a restaurant, but you'll want to stay here because it is so centrally located to transportation and downtown. People were nice and friendly.

We enjoyed our stay at Kallisti Thera. While the room was a little disappointing (size, bathroom, linens, etc.), the hotel environment made up for it. The outdoor pool and bar were peaceful and relaxing, with great space and staff. The continental breakfast was an added bonus, with some local foods as well as cereal, eggs, and breads. We enjoyed the location most. This hotel is not on the cliff-edge of Santorini, so if you're looking for that, this is not it. We were looking for a place that was in the city (Thera) center but was quiet and where we didn't need to fight for a pool space or hear the nightlife all night long, but could have a short walk to restaurants and cliff views. This hotel is one block from the best views on Santorini and yet was restful. The hotel environment competes with the beauty of Santorini and at times we just wanted to lounge at the hotel more than walk through the city.

The reviews tell it all. It's a great place to stay in Santorini. Perfect relaxation spot for honeymoonrs and people getting away for the holidays.

We stayed at the hotel for 3 nights. The view from the balcony was amazing. Breakfast was included with our room and was served on our private balcony every morning! The staff are so helpful and Sofia (Manager) is so friendly. However, Imerovigli is far from the main town and amenities, such as travel agents, so book ferry tickets in advance. Also, stay away from Sunbird ATV and car rentals in Imerovigli - terrible and rude service, unreliable rentals, and they overcharge. They are known to "rip off" their customers.

We stayed at the Hermes the first week of 2010. We had a little trouble with the A/C, but a call to Orbitz got the maintenance guys in gear and we were squared away for the rest of the week. Elke (?) at the front desk was terrific! Also, the location is very good. Two short blocks to the beach and the boardwalk. The boardwalk is definitely the heart of Kamari. Last, the rooms are sparse, and the beds aren't great but practical. The rooms appear to be timeshares, as each is decorated differently and with different furniture and appointments.

Sehr romatisches Hotel! Extrem freundliches Personal. Aussicht ist einfach fantastisch! Kommt sehr darauf an, welches Zimmer man bekommt. Frühstück wird auf Privat-Terasse gebracht. Pool ist klein.

Excellent staff, location, great food nearby, rent an Atv and you can see the entire Island, romms were great, best view by far
