Guest Reviews

• Arpana (10/5): - We visited Santorini for 1 week and stayed at Santa Elena Hotel after reading a few good reviews - and we were not dissappointed! Sophia, the owner of the hotel was super nice and helped with anything we needed. She upgraded our room after 2 night. The breakfast was wonderful and the rest of the staff was also really friendy! The hotel is located only 5 minutes from the beach but also has a pool and the local open air cinema as well as bus conection is just around the corner. We can definitely recommend staying at Santa Elena!
• Syed (10/5): - Sofia and Yanes were great host, Hotel is clean and location is also great. would love to come back again
• maria (10/5): - Phenomenal. Excellent location. A family operated hotel Sophia and Janos went out of their way to assist with anything small and trivial local questions The pictures so do not do justice to this great hotel A lovely breakfast buffet included. 5 min walk to best beach on island Strongly recommended
• Hong (8/5): Good - It is good, feel very comfortable. Very helpful
• Charles (10/5): - The hotel is in a convenient location, close to the beach, bars, restaurant and bus station to Fira. The rooms, reception and pool area were all very clean. The breakfast provided was quite fresh and good as well. Most importantly, the hosts Yiannis and Sofia were very helpful and friendly hosts. They made us feel at home in Kamari, provides excellent suggestions on where to go/eat, and were consistently ready to help us solve any issue. For example, when we wanted to hire an ATV, Yiannis helpfully called both the night before and day of to confirm a hire for us. Thank you to everyone (Yiannis, Sofia, Maria) at Santa Elena, we hope to come back soon!
• Adelaide (10/5): Great Hotel and Manager - What a nice surprise is this hotel. No far from the beach, just 10 or 15 min walking. Its not do fancy or mordern, but highly clean, the room its large, the shower could be bigger but its ok. Nice breakfast. The manager Sofia is amazing. Great person and super helpfull in snything you need to dtsy in Santorini. Yannes also in the reception is super friendly, they also speak english and perfect italian
• Verified traveler (10/5): Härligt hotell! - Fint och mysigt hotell. Härlig pool! Gångavstånd till Buss (In till Fira), Strand och Restauranger. Personalen (ex. Sofia) var väldigt trevliga och hjälpsamma. Kan starkt rekommenderas!
• Iusra (8/5): - Ficamos somente uma noite. Fomos bem recebidos.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - L’hotel è davvero carino, pulito e l’accoglienza di Sofia e suo fratello è semplicemente eccellente. Parlano anche perfettamente italiano e bene inglese e francese. Cercano di farti sentire a casa in ogni momento è sono disponibili per qualsiasi necessità. Danno consigli preziosi sull’isola e sui posti da vedere o ristoranti in cui mangiare.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - This is THE hotel to stay in if you’re visiting Santorini. The staff give you around the clock care and cater for your every need. They offer suggestions of what to do, places to go, the best things to do on the island, they book excursions for you if requested. They go above and beyond to give you an amazing experience and it’s safe to stay this is the most welcoming, homely and amazing hotel I’ve ever stayed in. 5 stars from me definitely will be back !
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Molto disponibili Sofia e jovan . Ti aiutano in tutto .sembra di stare a casa
• Geir (8/5): Topp service og fin beliggenhet! - Sentral, men likevel tilbaketrukket beliggenhet. Fantastisk service. Nydelig frokost. Grei standard på rommet.
• Ana (10/5): Prima pela simpatia, atenção e localização. - Estadia ótima! Sofia, a recepcionista era muito simpática e atenciosa, estava sempre atenta a todos os pormenores e empenhada em que nada faltasse. O sítio era confortável, calmo, com paragens de autocarro próximas e serviço de trazer/levar de/para o aeroporto. Bom pequeno almoço, completo e também com opções tradicionais gregas. Recomendo!!
• Daniel (8/5): Convenient home away from home - Great hotel for a short break, especially if you have a rental car as you can quickly drive to the beach, restaurants and the main sites in the island. Everyone made me feel very welcome and even got a better room than booked as there was availability. The only 2 things I would comment on is that the shower is quite small and the curtains should be a bit darker as in the morning the room gets quite bright, but overall good value for money in Santorini.
• salvo (10/5): Buon hotel a 500 mt dal mare - Hotel grazioso, Sofia ( la titolare ) gentilissima ... ci ha aiutato in tutto Bravissima !!!!
• Dawn (10/5): Very friendly little hotel - We loved our stay at Santa Elena. This small, family-run hotel is very pretty, with lots of flowers and a great swimming pool. Sophia and her brother were so friendly and welcoming, and couldn’t do enough to make sure we had an enjoyable stay. They booked excursions for us and arranged car hire. The hotel was extremely clean, we had a great view of the pool from our balcony and the room had everything we needed, including aircon, a small fridge and a hairdryer. The hotel is a bit of a walk from the front but we didn’t mind this. Overall, a fantastic stay. Thank you
• Chung Ting (10/5): Come and have a night - 沒什麼好說的，來住一晚你會喜歡的
• Mel&Michelle (10/5): Excellent Hotel - Me and my friend Michelle stayed here for a week july 14, would defo stay here again. On the out skirts of Kamari but everything what you want within a 10 to 15 min walk. Excellent and friendly staff thanks for putting up with us lol!!! Sophia and her staff were so lovely and very helpful. We had a room over looking the pool the views were amazing, as were the lovely gardens. Would definitely recommend this hotel.
• Ian (10/5): - Very good hotel & pool area, good breakfast and very good staff with lot of information.About 10 / 15 min walk to the beach.
• stacy (10/5): Great Hotel - I so enjoyed this hotel. Perfect location and great staff!
• Si (10/5): Very Pleasant, Would Recommend - I stayed for four nights at Santa Elena Sofia, owner of the hotel, contacted me two days prior to my arrival, to ask whether I needed transport to hotel from the airport. This cost 20 euros and the journey took around 15 minutes. The alternative is the take a bus to Fira, and then take another bus from the same stop, to Kamari, where the hotel is. This will cost 1.80 per part, so 3.60 in total, and is what I did on the day of my flight back home. Sofia, and her brother Yannis, speak sound English, and were happy to help me with organizing my daily activities. By the reception is a timetable for the buses to Fira, the airport etc, and information of quadbike rentals. Sofia also has a number of different brochures and leaflets on tours, such as of the Caldera, which I high recommend you visit. My room was on the second floor, with a balcony and a view of the front garden and pool. It was very well maintained, I could not fault it. The front garden is full a sub-tropical plants, trees, and flowers, and the pool is of a good size and surrounded by plenty of seating. The continental breakfast includes mixed fruit, melon, a number of confectionaries, boiled eggs, ham, etc, basically a healthy selection, and eating outside made the experience even better. Finally, the town, Kamari, has a very nice black-sand beach, with numerous (40+) restaurants, cafes, bars, along it. To one side, there is also a high cliff, where old Thira is. All in all, a great experience!
• Bojan (8/5): Nice hotel 10 min from beach - Nice place with helpfull owner. We stayed only one night but they were happy to help us with everything we needed. Hotel is about 10-15 min walk from the main beach, if you can't be bothered walking you can always rent a quad or a car to drive around. Hotel has a nice and clean pool also if you decide to stay in for the day. Breakfast is ok, nothing extraordinary but freshly prepared and good for the price. Personally I would prefer to be a bit closer to the beach but otherwise I would definitely recommend Santa Elena.
• Dave (10/5): Very nice quiet hotel / Aparhotel - Great stay at Santa Elena. Wonderfully quiet hotel, or maybe an Aparthotel, Yannis and Sophia are really good hosts - the only reason I say it could be an Aparthotel, is there is no hotel bar or restaurant. Not a massive issue as the town is only a 10 minute walk away, but sometimes it;s nice to have one for the road at a bar on site, or even a drink of something when you're around the pool - it is a great pool though. Continental breakfast is very good, with a great choice of the usual fare. Not right in the heart of Kamari, but as stated it's literally an easy 10/12 minute stroll back. All in all a great stay at Santa Elena, and the staff cannot be faulted at all, so nice.
• heather (10/5): Great hospitality!!! - Great hospitality, the room was clean, nice garden & pool area, free wifi & continental breakfast that you can eat outside.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing hotel close to beach - We have just arrived back home after a 10 day stay with Sophia and Yannis. We have had outstanding service from day 1 and they could not do enough to help with organising anything that you require. We are going back again next year and can't wait. The most amazing holiday ever. The hotel is 10 mins to the sea front and 4 mins to the outdoor cinema which is also a must. The location was perfect. Everything was spotless and clean and the pool is amazing.
• Paller (10/5): Nice and quiet hotel near the airport - The hosts were the best. They forward the breakfast to us because we have to go to airport and dont wanted to charge it (because the breakfast wasnt included). Thank you Sofia!
• Stephen (10/5): Best staff in Santorini and maybe in all Greece! - The hotel is really very nice, clean, comfortable and in close proximity to town. What makes it special though is the caring and conscientious staff on hand. Both Sophia and Yanni work to provide any help we needed. They suggested, transport, secured reservations at a beautiful hilltop winery to watch the sunset, printed our boarding passes changed our rooms just to give us a better view. But really it is their spirit, positive enthusiasm that make staying with them a pleasure and makes the experience a different one than staying in another hotel. We will return to that hotel because of them and know the we will have another restful and positive stay in beautiful Santorini. Thank you once again Sophia and Yanni! Best, Stephen Ireland
• Marina (10/5): Relaxing Santa Helena - Wonderful authentic small hotel, 7-10 min from the Airport. Very clean, wonderful surroundings with a blue pool and blooming trees. Freshly cooked breakfast. Friendly smiling staff. Convenient location to the local beach and bus stop to Fira. This place is mostly for the quiet relaxing vocation and if you are an energetic couple or friends who like to party late then I would recommend to stay at Fira or Imerovigli.
• Edina (10/5): Very friendly - We enjoyed our stay and Sophia was very helpful and always with a smile.... We will definately recomend this hotel to our friends and family....
• Maturish ladies (10/5): Amazing staff and hotel - As two single friends, we stayed for a week at the Santa Elena. From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. Beautiful hotel and gardens with an amazing pool and pool area. Sofia, Yiannis and the rest of the staff cannot do enough for you - we know this is what everyone else has said but it's true! The cold buffet breakfast was plentiful and always freshly prepared. We cannot stress enough how clean and well-cared for this hotel is. It is in a central position for the beach, bars and tavernas. However, it is a good ten minute walk which is slightly uphill on the way back (we managed it and we are not spring chickens!). If we HAD to find a fault, it would be the lack of tea/coffee making facilities in the room, although Sofia was more than happy to make us these whenever we asked. We highly recommend this hotel and would love to return......
• Steve & Tanya (10/5): Great Hotel - We had a wonderful stay and the hotel was clean and weLL kept ,the hotel staff were friendly and helpful in every way, Sofia was knowledgeable and helped in advicing us on were to go to see things in the area. Wold be our first choice to stay there when we return to the Island again.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Lovely quiet hotel - totally recommend - Really nice & quiet hotel only 5 mins from the centre of Kamari & the beach. Rooms extremely clean & comfortable - Yanis & Sofia who run the hotel were very welcoming, friendly & relaxed and very helpful when ever we had questions etc. Would recommend to anyone thinking of staying in Kamari.
• Oliver (10/5): Nice hotel close to Kamari beach - There's not enough to say about the excellent staff at this hotel. Sophia was such a great help to me while staying in Santorini. She was extremely helpful with EVERYTHING. She's kind, generous and very very helpful with directions, where to go and what to do. I asked to be placed on the upper floor (best view) and she took care of it. She even walked me to the bus stop! Sophia is such a great help and amazing lady! Every morning she would have a coffee & breakfast for me, quite good! The hotel room was perfect! Very comfortable, and the hotel itself is close to Kamari/Perissa beach. Very close to the bus that'll take you to Fira & Oia, highly recommend visiting there to view the sunset. Again, you will not be disappointed with the quality of service and comfort, I highly recommend this hotel while staying in Santorini.
• Melissa (10/5): Lovely Hotel with A-mazing customer service! - My favorite hotel of my whole trip to Europe. Sophie was so nice and helpful. Honestly felt like I was staying at a relatives house because of how great and welcoing the stay was there.
• June (10/5): This hotel is a real gem - We have just had the most wonderful stay in Santorini at the Santa Elena. The staff are just lovely and can't do enough for you, they will happily recommend places to visit and book transport and reservations for you. The hotel itself is terrific, spotlessly clean, air conditioning in the rooms, really nice breakfasts with home made pastries and best of all there is hardly ever any one in the beautiful pool! It is about a 10 minute (gentle) walk to the beach and so is very peaceful. We would thoroughly recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to stay in Kamari.
• Marie (10/5): Lovely friendly B&B. - The management at this B&B are absolutely wonderful, nothing is too much trouble for them. They made our stay most enjoyable they couldn't have done any more. Cannot say enough to praise them.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great hotel - Great little hotel. Lovely pool and clean all over. Lovely breakfast with homemade pastries. Lovely staff who are very helpful. 10 minute walk to Kamari beach but loved the peace and quiet of the hotel location.
• Neal (10/5): Awesome place to stay - Left here after 6 of the most relaxing and perfect days of a round the world trip. From the moment we arrived and met Yiannis, Joyce and Sofia we were made to feel incredibly welcome and more like extended family than just another guest. The hotel itself is small and busy but most days we had the pool to yourself which was lovely. It takes about 10 minuted to reach the beach and all staff will happily make recommendations of places to eat and things to do.
• Ali (10/5): Lovely little local hotel - We had a fantastic time here. The staff are really warm and friendly. They know the island really well and willingly help you when you need it. The pool and garden are lovely, breakfast is good and it is spotlessly clean. It's not the closest hotel to the beach- about 10 minutes away- but this makes it beautifully quiet. If you are looking for somewhere comfortable and authentic, then this is perfect.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great people, great location - Our stay at the Santa Elena was one of the major reasons we fell in love with Santorini. Perfect location, fair price and wonderful hosts. Hope to visit again soon!
• Josh (10/5): perfect area - friendly staff always helping with ideas and directions. organised transport for us to and from the hotel. saw that we were a couple and upgraded us to a double bed instead of two singles without us even asking!! we were looking for a company to do a sunset cruise on our last night and he spent two full days ringing every company getting us the best deal and it was by far the best experience of my life and it was all thanks to the fine people at Santa Elena The area is a short walk from the beach and in my opinion after seeing every inch of santorini, kamari is the ideal location for anybody. lovely beaches, nice restaurants, quiet area, market stalls, good nightlife if you want and is just the perfect location.
• Lonnie (10/5): Great Stay - Loved our hotel. Great value, close to beach, clean room, incredible warm staff. Yanni was the best at the front desk. All his recommended places were great, and he treated us like family. AC worked great as well.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great home base in Santorini - Giannis was a fabulous host - helpful, informative and accommodating. Great spot central to everything on the island. Exceptional value for Santorini!
• Eveline (10/5): Excellent customer service - We've spend very nice time at Santorini Hotel. It's not overpriced, relatively close to the beach and 10 min away from the city. They serves only breakfast but very delicious with traditional Greek pastry. The owners were extremely welcomed and helpful; very knowledgeable about the island. I would definitely recommend this place for short or long stay.
• Ulrik (6/5): One night stay - Just stayed one night, awaiting the plane to leave. A litte too expensive, I paid more than the double price I am used to.
• Clare (10/5): Owners make this a great place to stay - Stayed here 2nd week of July. Sophia & her family, and Judy, make you feel very welcome & are really, really helpful. Always greet you with a smile & do what they can for you.
• freya (10/5): Peaceful hotel 10 mins from beach. Staff v helpful - Lovely stay. Lovely island!☺ Great stay v relaxing. Scenic location. 10 mins walk from beach. Would recommend.
• Paula (10/5): Hidden gem in Kamari - We would highly recommend the Santa Elena, very very clean hotel, great hosts Joyce, John, Sofia, Costos and Mamma could not do enough for you, breakfast is more than your average continental of just bread and cheese, delish yogurt with the added extras of nuts, raisins, honey, cake, warm cheese pastries ect. The hotel is a pleasant 10 minute stroll to the main strip of Kamari beach so the hotel is quiet at night and peaceful and relaxing in the day, plenty of sunbeds and a great pool to cool off in. There is no bar at the hotel but that's what keeps it quiet however they do have a stock of soft drinks, beers and they will make you a great ice coffee. The hosts knowledge of Santorini is second to none and will go out of their way to assist and accommodate guests this is a true hidden gem and we shall definitely be returning. Thanks to our Santorini Family xx
• Jenna (10/5): Great hotel with incredible hospitality! - The hotel was very comfortable, and in a quiet location but only a 5-10 minute walk to Kamari beach. What really makes the experience is the staff; they really make you feel at home! They were so helpful with anything we needed.
• The Sean (10/5): Fanastic Personable Service, enjoyable hotel - Loved the place, it is a little on the old sude but the staff are really wonderful (new owners, were nice enough to invite us down for a drink and a chat at the end of our night!) and really gave a lot of effort to making sure we were all taken care of and not lacking of anything. The hotel is a little away from the main part of town if you are walking but you alwas flet safe and it added a little to the rustic charm of the area. No problems staying here again, best of luck guys!
