Astro Palace Hotel & Spa

This was our third stay at Astro Palace, and again we had a wonderful time. The experience started before we left home, with Katerina reaching out to enquire about our timings and transportation. A luxurious Benz taxi and lovely driver took us to the hotel, where we received a warm welcome! It was really great to see everyone again (when they came on shift) and to see new friendly faces. Astro Palace is particularly clean, modern, luxurious and professional. The location, in the Fira, is perfect: 10 mins casual walk from a beautiful sunset and, if you're not renting a car or using taxis, 10 mins walk from the buses to Oia, etc. But what makes Astro Palace special is its people. They are very warm and genuinely invested in guests having a good time in Santorini. The other guests we spent time with expressed the same sentiment. In our case, as we've explored the island many times over the years, this time they recommended more rustic, less touristy places, essentially where they enjoy eating in 2025. And, of course, they follow up when we return to get our feedback. Coming back to reception and hanging out by the bar, catching up, was one of many highlights. A massive thank you to Hope, Katerina, Georgia, Ahmed, Dimitri and the entire Astro Palace family for your hospitality, authenticity and good humour 🙏

Didn’t eat there

It was just pricy. apart from that everything was good. The time we booked the hotel was about 500 CAD per night but when we arrived, if we wanted to book the same nights, it was much cheaper like 350CAD per night.

The room and hotel were super clean. The staff was so helpful and friendly. The limo driver picked me up from the airport with my name on a board, that was cool. They offered to help with scheduling tours, dinners, taxi rides. The breakfast was a beautiful spread of meat, cheese, pastries, eggs, juice, cereal. Lots of options. And a breakfast bag for the early airport flight. I didn’t use the spa service, but I wish I had. I’m adventurous and did a lot of public bus, hikes, runs and even mountain biking. I could have used a spa day. The pool was beautiful with a lovely view of the sea. The jacuzzi on the patio was a great feature, and great for photos- however it did smell of plastic from the plastic cover. Not sure a way around that, perhaps a rubber cover would do the trick.

Staff is very nice. The hotel Itself is clean and the condition Is good. What was a problem is the bathroom shower-every time I was afraid I was going to fall. It was not designed safety. The breakfast- while Included and service was helpful, the food itself was mediocre. The location while about a 12 or so minute walk was not at all safe and not for people who are not strong. Cars will swam past you and not stop. The pool, while very pretty, is surrounded by cars driving around the hotel. Also, my tv was crooked, the programming was “scrambled” Not coming in clearly.

We loved the private pool and our amazing view of sunrise. Great location. A 10 min walk to lots of shopping, restaurants, and sunset views.

Newer property with great amenities. Rooms were very comfortable and quiet. Walking to the shopping, walking area is possible but it is uphill (10-12 min), a lot faster coming down. Front desk staff was excellent. Special mention to Hope. Breakfast was mediocre.

The gym could use a little upgrading, but the hotel was otherwise gorgeous and the staff very kind and helpful. Our 2-bedroom suite had two levels and was incredibly spacious. And we walked home from dinner in town within minutes. Highly recommend.

We we made to fell welcome from the start. The staff were extremely attentive. Caterina at the front desk was a gem. We would definitely like to return to this hotel.

Liked the Hotel location, 200 m to downtown, beautiful rooms and lobby and good spa.
