It was good for the price. It has shuttle to the airport and port but it has an additional cost.

Owners are great, friendly people. Family business. Only one wish: newer bedding and newer towels. Everything else was great

Not a bad hotel. We got the room that came with 4 twin beds. The room was really small but clean. Unfortunately the bathroom was not great. The shower was very small and the liner kept sticking to you. The shower head didn’t stay in one place, so water kept getting on the floors. The bathroom was my least favorite part of the room. The staff were good for the most part and they sell drinks and snacks in the lobby. If you’re looking for a cheaper stay, this would be a good place to book. They offer free shuttle services that drop you near Fira (7-10 walk) and paid shuttle services to the airport and ferry for a good price. The room was small but intimate and clean.

The room was nice and cold. I would definitely use this hotel again once i come back to santorini. Just luck of english speaking staff but very friendly. Love the free bus to fira center to hotel and vice versa.
