Hotels near Palea Kameni in Santorini

We are so happy with had the opportunity to meet our Hostess Arestides he was above and beyond exceptional. He was helpful and he was able to get our transportation to the airport the correct time. Also, any restaurant reservation he was able to take care that for us and suggested great restaurant by the area by calling the restaurant I making sure we get a table with a nice view. He was very nice explaining everything to us when we arrive to the hotel and show us all the highlights of the island the best beaches and places to go. We felt safe and happy everything we will go to the front desk, and he was there to assist us. I can't thank you enough for all you time and hospitality. we are so happy we stayed there. The staff were so friendly, the rooms were immaculate. It was so peaceful and safe. I loved our pool right outside of our room 101, and the breakfast was delicious. The hotel is not too far from the center to Fira by walk about 7 minutes. Thank you again Arestides and the entire Staff.

We stayed at Nissos for a week as a group of 13 (+ baby) for a friends wedding and the hotel was perfect for us! The staff were all absolutely lovely, so relaxed and incredibly accommodating. The location is smack bang in the middle of Thira as well as being minutes from the bus station to explore the rest of the island. Couldn’t recommend staying here more- definitely request the room with the mega terrace overlooking the pool- iconic. Thanks again to all the staff you made our week wonderful!

Compared to oia and fira, the location of this hotel is relatively quiet, but the scenery of the cliff is still great

We stayed at the Blue Dolphin last month and I'm not sure we stayed at the same hotel as described by previous contributors. While the hotel is comfortable and the staff are pleasant and helpful (a special shout out to Niki who was very very kind and offered much helpful advice and assistance) there are a couple of negatives. First and foremost, the hotel can only be accessed (at least when we were there) via very steep steps, so anyone with any disability or those who have mobility issues will likely have much difficulty navigating the steep descent to the hotel, even more so when having to climb up the incline when leaving the hotel. Another difficulty is the center of town is quite a walk from the hotel given a steep walk - great walking into town downhill, but rather a strenuous walk uphill - especially on the cobbled streets/pavements. Certainly no need to book time at the gym if you stay here! Another minor point: breakfast is included and it was kindly delivered to our room each morning; though it was fairly basic and was exactly the same each morning. While thankful for the meal, it would have been a nice touch to have changed the ingredients every now and again. Also, I'm not sure if it was due to the off-season or construction, but there was no bar, restaurant, lounge area etc. at the hotel during our stay. Also, during the time of our stay there was ongoing construction in very close proximity to the hotel, literally just feet away from our room, which meant many loud workers and machinery starting work around 7.30am. While I understand the need to do this work in the off-season, it would have been nice for the hotel to have given us notice of the disruption at the time of booking. And, given that donkeys were used to transport heavy material to and from the site, helpful to have given warning to take much care traversing the steep steps that were littered with donkey poop. While our stay was enjoyable and the staff pleasant and helpful, I'm afraid I will look for alternative accommodation when next we return to Santorini.

Thank you, Renta and staff, for a memorable stay in Santorini. I had some doubts about the suites’ location overlooking the Caldera and the climbing that might be required, but the hotel is easily accessible with lovely gentlemen who take your luggage down to your room and pick it up when you are ready to leave. The accommodations are roomy, well appointed, and have an incredible view of the sea. We had our own patio where we could eat an ample breakfast delivered every morning. On these same mornings when we were very lucky, a parade of donkeys and one mule would clop by the path near the hotel, carrying materials to nearby sites. Of course our stay in November meant that many restaurants and shops in Imeroviglia were closed, but Fira is nearby. Renta will call Nico to give you a ride into town. Both of them are so gracious and accommodating that we very much enjoyed our stay. Following Renta’s advice, we took the catamaran tour of the Caldera, a must for seeing the Caldera from the sea. The plus side of Santorini in November is a complete lack of crowds. Our weather was sunny and in the seventies every day, which may have been a Greek anomaly but perfect for us. I highly recommend the Aqua Luxury suites and staff.

This hotel is perfectly located in Fira/Thira, walking distance to the town with restaurants and shopping and beautiful churches. The highlight though is the location, west facing with an indescribable caldera view especially during sunset. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was very good and the staff friendly and welcoming.

Booked 12 nights for me and my wife as part of our 25th wedding anniversary celebrations. Communication with hotel and myself was excellent. Dimitra, went above and beyond to help me surprise my wife with flowers and champagne in our room, but also gave us an upgraded room which we were not expecting. The hotel has spectacular views of the Caldera, including Fira and Oia. These views can be appreciated from the pool area, restaurant and terrace. The room was lovely and fresh, with a very large double bed including all other amenities, iron, safe, air con etc... on occasions the bed was dressed in towel decorations, which really pleased my wife. The staff at Goulielmos Hotel, couldn't do enough for you, nothing was to much trouble. The food from breakfast to evening meal was delicious, even the poolside menu!! Due to covid, the breakfast was pre ordered the night before, you needed to be mindful not to order to much, felt guilty sending things back that we'd left, it's a balancing act for guest and hoteliers! On the mention of Covid, we couldn't fault the hotels attempt to keep everyone safe and all ares well sanitised. The hotel is just a short walk to Akrotiri village, here you'll find other restaurants to taste delicious Greek dishes. We would very much recommend the Goulielmos Hotel for a holiday in Santorini.

100% would return to this hotel, the boys super careful, let us keep our bags and put us in the pool to make time to go

The room is great, it is the best price to book, the only bad thing is that it is a bit far from oia, the hotel restaurant has a great view
