Guest Reviews

• Michele (6/5): - Pros: The location was amazing and accurately described. The breakfast was Insta worthy and tasted as good as it looked. The variety was great and we saved some of the bread and pastries for an afternoon snack. The coffee was delicious. The bed was comfortable. Shower water pressure was good and hot. Bath products provided were nice. Additional coffee and water bottles were provided upon request.Santorini is beautiful and we enjoyed our stay. Cons: We never found a single sign that has the hotel name other than the pad of paper in the room. It was difficult to find independently. I provided my flight #, but wasn't contacted upon landing or within the hour, so we just drove to the location. It created an unnecessary stressful first impression. The website creates an expectation that this is a staffed hotel with a front desk and amenities, but that isn't the case. The view on the website is from the pool area and not actually from the room balcony. There is a large white wall that block half of the view. There was no front desk or anyone on staff. George was available via WhatsApp for any requests, but that isn't what we expected. The pool was not available and it wasn't stated or communicated anywhere. The website talks about spa services, but there isn't anything on-site and George didn't say anything about it. I felt deceived by the website and what the hotel offers.
• Sean (10/5): - Amazing place
• Erika (10/5): - This property I fell in love with first the colored rooms we got to enjoy 2 because we extended our stay and we got the blue room then the yellow and green room the surprise of seeing what color you get is the so much fun ❤️❤️ The people there from start to finish helped us and were so lovely it’s walking distance to everything and the ice cream / take out restaurant next door had the bestttt food for any new travelers like we were it’s the best place really ❤️❤️❤️ Oh and the breakfast lol was enough to feed a army and very delicious loved loved it and can’t wait to be there again ❤️❤️❤️❤️
• Verified traveler (8/5): - excellent location and bright airy room in a great location. Our room faced the street, but it was still quiet with the shutters closed and we had a little balcony around the corner that gave us ocean views. The main downside is that the building has water problems - the first night there was gurgling sounds as though a hot tub above our room left the bubbler on, but the second night it was a water pump that cycled all night and could be heard even with ear plugs. The shower was also a poor design that leaked all over the rest of the bathroom.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The hotel was in a great location with fantastic views. The hotel is located in Imerovigli which is an ideal location between Thira and Oia. The hotel staff were really friendly and helpful. We wanted to hire a quad bike and the hotel staff said what time and it was there the next day ready. The breakfast was pleasant and the rooms were good value for money. We were lucky enough to have the room with the jacuzzi which had amazing views especially in the evening and the water was warm. I do think the hotels could do with a fresh coat of paint. I would suggest white rooms would look better than the current green.
• WalterW (10/5): - This is a wonderful hotel and the staff made it perfect! Vangelis and his team took their time to ensure we had anything we needed. They are professionals! We were in the purple room (lilac as my wife called it) and it seemed recently refurbished with everything perfectly in order. The location was excellent and Vangelis was very helpful in giving us ideas of things to do and see. His team truly made the visit special.
• Walter (10/5): - We were very pleased with the property, the staff and the visit overall! Vangelis and his team truly put forth the best effort in making our stay perfect. They took time to be very personal, getting to know what we needed, and they did whatever it took to ensure they exceeded the need. The room appeared to be recently refurbished and was quite nice. We were in the purple room (lilac as my wife called it) and it had a great view and everything was in perfect order. We liked the area as it was easy to get to many things that we wanted to see. Vangelis was quick to make suggestions and his ideas were wonderful. This is a wonderful hotel and the staff made it perfect! We would absolutely stay here again!
• Sè (10/5): - Wonderful blue room, staff was very nice, and knowledgeable of island. Breakfast was great and arrived on time every morning! Great views as well, would highly recommend!
• Agnes (10/5): - We got the purple room and it has matching ironboard and hair dryer :) pretty thoughtful. They send breakfast to your room too. About 25 mins walk to town
• Steven (8/5): Green room - Beautiful pool and view. Green room nice but needs a refurb. Quick walk to Fira. Staff are friendly and accommodating.
• marilynnunez (10/5): - everything very quiet and clean very nice people thanks
• Natalie (8/5): Clean, nice pool, good value - For Santorini in July this property was reasonably priced and gave good value. Super clean and very courteous staff. Room was whimsical (we had a yellow theme) with a cute yet small balcony. Nice view. The pool area was clean and attractive with enough chaises longues. Terrific view from the decks and terraces around the pool. Really liked the location in Imeroviglia. Breakfast ok and was delivered on time but you had to make your own coffee. Bed was a king and very comfortable.
• cameron (10/5): - Very nice location with great view. The staff was very friendly and helpful .
• Cameron (10/5): Memorable stay at Senses Boutique Hotel - Anna, Vaggelis and the whole team made our stay a memorably one. Will definitely recommend and will return again. Great job guys! Keep doing what you are doing... that is what differentiates you from the other hotels
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Cold room, air conditioning did not work, arrogant receptionist.
• Katie (10/5): Amazing views and great location! - We loved Senses hotel! It is in the most beautiful area with fantastic views on the balcony, so romantic. We enjoyed our breakfast every day, plenty of food. It is located near the path that leads to Fira or Oia which is really handy, we loved the location and really enjoyed our stay!
• KANAN (10/5): Would recommend! - Our stay at Senses was wonderful. The boutique hotel is truly unique as each room is different. The villa we stayed in had a separate balcony that overlooked the cliffside of Santorini. The beds were comfortable. The only downside was how tiny the corner triangle shower was but the rest of the room and hotel overall was beautiful. The weather was too chilly to enjoy the pool which seemed much smaller in real-life than in the picture. The staff was very friendly and it was a nice treat to have breakfast delivered every morning. The breakfast selection is limited but plenty of food for breakfast. Our trip was during the off season so it seemed like most of the local restaurants were closed. The hotel is close enough to walk to Fira but need to cab to Oia. The staff helped with booking cabs and renting a car for us.
• Marilou (10/5): Excellent stay - Our stay was excellent. They upgraded our room to Premium for free and the room was spacious with all the amenities you need. Super clean and the staff were very nice . Delicious breakfast and they served the food in your room whatever time you choose. The hotel is near the bus stop which is a good choice of transportation to go around the island.Glad we stayed in that hotel.
• Sarah (10/5): Best hotel stay - will definitely return! - We stayed in the queen suite, and truly believed that was the best suite in the hotel. The view from our balcony was amazing, as you get a view of all the white buildings, the caldera and the Aegean Sea. The balcony is not ground level, but up just a few stairs outside of the room. Breakfast is delivered in a box each morning to your room. We enjoyed it each morning on the balcony which was amazing with the views. The queen suite also has a private plunge pool (jacuzzi) on the balcony, enclosed in almost a 'cave-like' atmosphere, with lights for a night swim. Because of that, our jacuzzi was truly private, compared to other hotel suite jacuzzis. Most of them are on ground level and have tourists walking by, however because the queen suite's balcony is elevated and the jacuzzi is enclosed, it is actually private. The room was spacious, and always clean. The location of the hotel is also great as it is situation in Imerovigli (right between Fira and Oia). There is a bus stop just a few minutes walk outside of the hotel, or you can rent an ATV to get around the island, and park it for free at the hotel. Overall, our stay was amazing and we would definitely return to Santorini and stay at Senses again!
• AK (10/5): Cute boutique hotel right by the beach & town - Great experience at Senses. The hotel staff was so responsive and helped us to check in early as we arrived on an early flight. They also had a delicious free breakfast one of the days we were there. It's in a great location and definitely would not hesitate to recommend this place to others.
• Pam (10/5): Wonderful hotel with a great view - Stayed at Sensis for 8 nights....hotel is in a great location and view is marvellous
• Lorrie (10/5): Quiet and relaxing boutique hotel! - We had a wonderful stay in the family suite at Senses Boutique last week! This very unique "room" had a cave like feel to it with an upstairs loft which our girls loved! It is whitewashed and decorated very tastefully. The mattresses were very comfortable and the bedding warm and soft. There is a hutch with dishes and wine glasses, a mini fridge, toaster, coffee maker, cereal and snacks. Aside from all this, you can place an order for breakfast the evening before and it is delivered at the time you specify in baskets...we felt spoiled with all this attention! The Senses has a very special staff that aims to please and they never make you feel like you are asking too much. We received help with dinner suggestions and reservations, taxi rides, calls to confirm a tour we were scheduled to take, as well as airport transfers. They truly go above and beyond and we enjoyed our stay immensely!
• morgan (8/5): Senses early spring booking - Service was excellent from the welcome to the "offered without asking" breakfast pack for an early departure. Staff were always friendly and courteous. Suggest that a small microwave be added to rooms since the coffee maker for hot water is not adequate and snack meals have to be warmed especially in early spring. Stay was great - highly recommended.
• Eric (10/5): Friendly, clean, great views! - Very easy - receptionist was extremely accommodating throughout the time we were there.
• Robert (8/5): Nice hotel with a great location!! - Nice hotel with a great location in Imerovigli. Great facilities, excellent staff. Although located in Imerovigli, the hotel does not have the best views. Rooms are, however, very comfortable.
• Joan (10/5): A little piece of heaven in Santorini - The hotel is such a haven in a busy island of Santorini. The room is beautiful, tastefully decorated and fully equipped with amazing views. The only negative is the shower room is very small but then there are lovely complimentary toiletries. The breakfast comes served in a small crate each morning and the servings are very generous. The area is peaceful and the rooms quiet . The staff even provide guests with a free mobile phone with the hotel contact details just in case they become lost. Now that is being considerate
• disappointed (6/5): Definitely over-priced - We were so excited to arrive at Senses - we decided to splurge on a suite per the pictures and descriptions we had read online and particularly bc we wanted to be able to wake-up to a sea view as we're on our honeymoon. Arriving to our room we were very disappointed. There was no view of the sea from our room bc there were zero windows on that side, I was told we needed to exit the room to see the sea. That was disappointment #1. Then the smell of the bathroom where the shower leaked, the free bfast consisted of cheap mini yogurts (not even greek yogurt, the sugary cheap kind), the smallest croissant I've ever seen (2in maybe?) and unripe peaches and the private jacuzzi we had on our terrace (again, bc we invested in a suite) we cdnt even use bc when we turned it on, it was so dirty neither of us wanted to touch whatever remained from the last guests. The gentleman at the front desk was also very abrupt. Perhaps it was his lack of english or maybe it truly was his personality but we felt like we were really annoying him as we checked in and out and asked about a taxi one day and asked if there was any lotion (a standard amenity for even basic hotels, but you'd def assume for a boutique hotel of this price). Unfortunately our experience is not at all what we envisioned the kick-off to our honeymoon to be :( much less for the money we spent. Could someone from Senses contact me to discuss? Were our expectations to have a clean room with a sea view & quality bfast unrealistic?
• Peng Cheong (2/5): Beware when you book with Hotels.com!!! - We were robbed!!!! We paid for 2 rooms and were told that they were overbooked and needed to put us up at another hotel, Andromeda, a few minutes away. It turned out Andromeda was a subpar accommodation with bad service from the poolside restaurant to the front office. Senses Boutique Hotel was totally irresponsible and unethical to accept our payment for the rooms they had promised and conveniently moved their guests to another hotel. Hotels.com MUST take responsibility for such a bait and switch maneuver by one of your listings. Like many of your customers, I have trusted my vacation with you and you have spoiled it entirely.
• Jay (10/5): - The hotel was in a great location with great views and quiet pool area. Staff were excellent as well as the room condition. Great idea having breakfast delivered every morning to your room. Fira is within walking distance and Oia easy accessible by the local bus stop. A shame there is no bar around the pool but it's very close to shops and a very nice cocktail bar!!!
• Derek (8/5): Some great rooms, but beware!!! - I stayed in a large group, so I got to see about half the rooms in this hotel. The absolute best rooms in this hotel are the Queen, King, and Master (in that order). The others are not as nice. The petite sweet is basically a closet with a bathroom, the yellow room is a disturbing neon day-glo yellow, and most rooms seem to be around 16 square meters (200 square feet). We had several people in our party leave after 1 night due to the their rooms. The location is perfect, I enjoyed this locale much mor than Oia. There are shops, food, and amazing views of the caldera. The pool is quite nice. The receptionist are nice, but only present from 7:30a to midnight. There are very difficult to get on the phone is something happens during the night. I would only stay here if in the Queen, King, or Master room.
• vacationer (8/5): Good if you rent a car - My room was upgraded to a king suite because I went there during a off season. The room was spacious and the location wasn't bad if you have a rental car. The breakfast was comprement upon your request but not all the requested menu was given and quality wasn't that impressive. I was rather disappointed with breakfast compared with other hotels in santorini. And I requested more coffee capsules but they didn't give me more coffee. I was told that only two coffee pouches are provided. The room had jacuzzi but there was debris and some dust on the surface. The water wasn't maintained clean, I believe.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Beautifully decorated rooms - Very good hotel. Very personalised attention. The bathroom is quite small though. The location is near by Fira but not in the city centre.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Yani and Staff were great! They were very helpful with anything I needed ... The bathroom shower was a bit small but the cleanliness and helpfulness of the staff was undeniably amazing ... Will definitely be going back next year !!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We stayed in the Master Cave Suite Pool and it was beautiful! The staff were super helpful with anything we needed regarding the room but also for suggestions on what to do on the island. Defiantly would recommend this hotel to anyone!
• Verified traveler (10/5): The most romantic and magical weekend in Santorini - We absolutely loved Yiannis - he was so warm and helpful and could not be a better host for Santorini.
• becca (10/5): No negatives! - Everything about this hotel is great. The rooms were extremely clean and well decorated. The rooms were also on the large side compared to the size of other hotel rooms I was looking at in the same price range. Yannis, the owner(?), was extremely helpful and can get a car/scooter/ATV rental delivered right to your door and for a great rate (we shopped around and could not beat his rates). We rented a car and asked if we could drive the car to the port and leave it there. Yannis arranged for that to happen! The hotel is also right next to the local bus stop, which allows you to easily connect to Oia or Fira.
• silver97teg (10/5): Great Place to stay - I really enjoyed my stay. Yannis was very nice and helpful! He even gave us a free cell phone to use around town. If I return to Santorini I will again stay in Imerovigli.
• Joshua (10/5): Great location, beautiful views, excellent service - Excellent stay. Excellent service. Conveniently located hotel in Imerovigli. Beautiful caldera views to go with well appointed rooms. Can't rate this hotel highly enough.
• Darian (10/5): Friendly and helpful staff, superb service! - We were there during our honeymoon on end of April 2015.The hotel staff was really friendly and helpful! The manager helped us to arrange our private sunset cruise too. The room was comfy with private balcony facing the sea. The room was nice and clean except the toilet was pretty small. Overall we had a wonderful stay in the hotel, we had a beautiful memory for our honeymoon :)
• Davidalk (10/5): Perfect Honeymoon - Great hotel, great staff, loved the private jacuzzi in the queen suite. Breakfast was good, you choose what you want and they bought at the local market. Perfect honeymoon location, away from the busyness of Fira. You could either walk there if you wanted for 30 mins or take the bus on the corner for 1.60 euros.
• Verified traveler (10/5): King Suite at Senses Boutique - Beautiful location on the caldera. We booked the King Suite with its own splash pool/hot tub. The room was everything you could ask for an very spacious. The hotel is family run and the owner Yannis is very friendly and very helpful. Every morning they bring you breakfast to your door and a customized breakfast might I add: you tell them what you want and they pick it up from the bakery/store. I would highly recommend staying here!
• Svein-Bjarne (10/5): Top Santorini view with private pool - This is a top hotel. The hotel is pretty small, only 8 rooms and brand new. This is the first season in service so everything is absolutely fantastic. Our King suite with a private heated pool with "boobles" have a stunning view to the sea and the volcano. Sitting after sunset with "boobles" in a glass is very, very nice.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Convenient and perfect - Gianni was truly amazing from day one. Made you feel part of the family and a VIP at the same time staff was also on point. Definitely would return
• Debbie (10/5): Boutique hotel with lovely caldera views! - Stayed at The Senses hotel for 6 nights in June. The hotel offers a hotel shuttle for 25 euros,lots of information about local restaurants, buses and car/ quad bike hire. Our 'pink' room had lovely views of the caldera but the shower and bathroom were very small. Yannis,the manager was extremely helpful and friendly and the hotel is between Fira,the capital and Oia.
• Saurin (10/5): Excellent Hotel with Caldera Views - Simply Superb...location ideal for quiet evenings with good views and is close to Fira (10 mins in Quad bike). Yanis is very helpful guy and he gave us all the info regarding places to visit etc. Not many down sides but I feel it would be good to have microwave in the room and hotel needs to have its own restaurant.
• William (10/5): Great hotel with a great personalized host - We rented the king suite with the private heated pool. The room was immaculate. We arrived and were first greeted by Jannis, the owner. He provided everything and anything we needed to have a wonderful trip. You get to pick your breakfast each morning and it is delivered to your room. We could not have asked for anything better. The dinner cruise with Caldera Yachting company was recommended and was a highlight of our entire trip. Thanks!
• Pranav (10/5): Highly recommend!! - We stayed here for 4 nights. This is more of an upgraded bnb with fresh breakfast procured everyday and delivered to your room. We stayed in the queen suite - it has wonderful view of the caldera from the balcony and the jacuzzi. Yannis is extremely helpful and guided us with our catamaran bookings, car rental, and provided information on the restaurants to eat at. Definitely consider if you're looking for something less touristy!
• Bonnie D. (10/5): sweetest hideaway in sunny santorini - an hour after landing in santorini, we already judged it as a top highlight of our 3-week europe trip. mostly because the staff of senses boutique hotel were so nice and gave us such a warm welcome. even though we arrived way too early in the morning, they went out of their way to let us check in as soon as possible. yannis, their manager, gave a great briefing, not just of the room but of the entire island. the room itself - we got the yellow room - exceeded our expectations. everything about it was cheerful and cozy, and the little balcony was so cute. it was obviously designed with great love and attention to detail. ordering breakfast and getting a basket of goodies every day was a treat. we had loads of fun exploring santorini, but we were always so happy to come back to our cheerful little room every time. will always have fond memories of santorini because of the kindness of the people we met there :)
• Chon Neng H. (8/5): Wonderful trip! - Since the weather was not so good during our stay, we spent quite a lot of time in the hotel. View from our rooms are excellent! Rooms are comfort and clean, great breakfast and friendly staff.
• Marco (10/5): Great hotel and location - with a personal touch - We stayed here for a week mid October 2014, just to relax really and enjoy the good food and weather. Booked through Expedia we learnt that things were not as they should have been. Our room was not available the first night, but we were put in their sister hotel down the road, which was excellent and offered a different view of the caldera. Then back in the hotel booked we did not get the room we thought we had booked, but this was all due to a misrepresentation on Expedia's website. In short, the hotel was not at fault, Expedia was, but the hotel's management team were great at accommodating us, resolving the 'mess' that Expedia created, and during week the hotel offered us the room we thought we had booked when it became available. Score 10/10 on service (Yanis in particular): personal, sincere and with local advice and recommendations for restaurants.
