Guest Reviews
- James (10/5): - There should be an outstanding category in these scores. In my 40+ years of travelling the world, you sometimes find a rare gem. This was one of those moments. Christina knows what her guests want and need, and she supplies it all with high quality surroundings, beautiful extras and high calibre service. Staying at this property made our trip to Santorini. She was so helpful and always available to communicate. We can't say much than we highly recommend this host and her lovely place to stay..thank you Christina.
- Jerry (10/5): - Very attentive and friendly staff, just be sure to let them know when you plan to arrive in advance.
- Nicoly (10/5): Estadia excelente - A hospedagem foi ótima! O quarto é de um tamanho razoável e tem uma varanda que ao fundo dá para ver o mar. O banheiro também eh bem espaçoso e funciona bem. Foi tudo certinho, com arrumação todos os dias e a Christina ainda deixava lanchinho se água. Tudo correu bem! A localização eh bem embaixo do centrinho, mtmtmt boa!
- Judy (10/5): - Our stay was wonderful and the customer service was phenomenal. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Great location, too!
- Charmaine (10/5): - Our room was very central which made it handy to get to restaurants and shops. The host was exceptional and the amenities were abundant. We had a great stay. Thank you.
- Joaquin (10/5): - This is a very convenient place to stay in Santorini. Parking was easy just a few steps from the apartment, the bed is very comfortable, and the shower. There are restaurants, shops, supermarkets, souvenir shops, etc. But the best thing is the sunrise from the balcony and seeing the sun rise from the ocean.
- Margarita Maria (10/5): - En general todo es excelente, es una habitación muy cómoda, muy limpia, es insonorizada, cerca de restaurantes y mini mercados y del centro de Fira, está a 3 minutos de la estación de buses por lo que es fácil transladarse a cualquier parte de la isla. La recomiendo ampliamente
- Brenda Lowe (10/5): - Platia has a great location, a short walk to the Fira bus terminal and taxi drop off. I arrived via ferry so it was an easy walk to the hotel. And its location in terms of the Fira action is great! Good dining options (affordable) very near and just a short walk to the higher-priced caldera view restaurants. The room was super clean, refrigerator for snacks, cold AC and a great shower! I can highly recommend. Good communication with the staff also!
- Dennis (10/5): - We stayed in room 2. Quiet room, even though located in the heart of Fira. Minutes away from everything: taxi and bus terminals, restaurants and cafés, and endless shopping. Would definitely stay again. 😊
- xai (10/5): Close to everything - We got there early but Jimmy made sure we were comfortable and got our room ready for us. It is only a short walk from the bus hub. The shopping and sunset trail is right across the street. Lots of restaurants right in front. Highly recommended! Would stay there again.
- Alona (10/5): - The location of the hotel couldn’t be more perfect, offering breathtaking views of the iconic Santorini landscapes. Waking up to the mesmerizing sunrise and relaxing with the stunning sunset was truly unforgettable.
What made my stay even more special was the exceptional hospitality provided by the host Christina and Jimmy. They were incredibly attentive to the guests’ needs and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of.
The hotel itself had a charming and cozy ambiance. Even though the room was a little smaller than we expected, it was clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated, providing a relaxing retreat after a day of exploration.
We highly recommend Platia hotel!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Super friendly host Christina, a clean room, convenient location! Free eggs and juice every morning! We could even enjoy the sunrise from the balcony. I can't thank you enough.
- Jorge (10/5): Enjoyable Hotel. - The hotel is nice, very clean and it's right in the middle of the action. Though this hotel is not on the cliff overlooking the caldera, it's very close by.
- Angel (10/5): - It’s location is the best, very close to everything! Christina was a big help during the checking in and out! I would stay here again when I come back!
- nicholas (10/5): Perfect in the center of Fira - Fantastic location right in the center, but not noisy, lovely spotless room and Christina was extremely friendly and quick to respond to any questions. Thanks very much!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Christina was very welcoming and helpful, room very comfortable and clean
- Diane (10/5): - Service personnalise et emplacement

- irontriangle (10/5): - The location is next to the heart of all the action in Santorini, but the room is very quiet.
- Karl (8/5): - Location is excellent, close to the Main shopping Street & restaurants, local bus , taxi services.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great hospitality! Our room was nice and clean. The owner was very informative and explained how things worked in our room. The location was great. Everything was close by.
- Brooks (10/5): AMAZING!! - This place was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
The location: could not have been more perfect. Half way between the cliffs and the bus stop. Right above the main shops. Made getting everywhere so easy. Literally all you had to do was step outside.
The room: SPARKLING CLEAN. The bed was so comfortable. The AC worked amazingly. The bathroom was roomy and the rainfall shower was the best thing to ever happen to me. The balcony was perfect and was a great place to people watch while eating the gelato we bought across the street. Surprisingly not noisey at all and we could sleep very well even being so close to the action.
The host: I cannot say enough good things about the host here. Upon check in- which was very easy- we found we had left our wallet in the transfer. Our host called around to all of the transfer companies and even THE POLICE and ended up helping us find the wallet!!! We would have been completely lost without her and we can’t thank her enough. You want someone like this helping your vacation!!
Overall, this was the perfect place to stay. In budget, close to everything, clean, comfortable. If you are debating this at all, don’t. Book it!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great stay - All that we desired for our visit. Excellent host, Modern, clean room. Great location and value.
- Andrew (10/5): Perfect host, lovely/modern boutique hotel! (Fira) - Christina is a wonderful host and made my stay in Santorini very special! The communication and service I received were simply outstanding. Very accommodating, thank you!
- Chih Chin (10/5): - 地理位置非常好,就在Fira的市中心,房間舒適乾淨配備齊全。民宿主人Christina熱情溫暖,讓這裡很有家的感覺。
- Sandra (10/5): Excellent little hotel! - Hotel Platia is a great little escape from the busyness of Santorini with a wonderful welcome. The location is outstanding, but it was very quiet, the compact room was very nicely done had everything we could have wanted, it was spotlessly clean, and we enjoyed the view from the rooftop patio and being away from the crowds. Christina makes you feel like a guest in her home; actually it really was her in-laws home before being made into a hotel. Very highly recommended.
- Leah (10/5): - Such an amazing location!! Christina was so sweet and accommodating for our stay. Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting santorini who wants to be right in the town square of thira for an amazing price!!
- Emily (10/5): One Night in Fira - This was a perfect one-night stop in Santorini. We booked it last minute because our ferry was canceled and we had to stay on the island an additional night. Christine (the owner) was the MOST accommodating, and truly fantastic. She helped us with everything, and could not have been more lovely. We didn't end up spending the night because we got on an earlier boat- and she made checking out quickly very easy as well. Highly recommend!
- Viktoryia (10/5): Superb! - I loved my stay at Platia hotel! The host Christina was simply amazing! I felt like home and very welcomed! The hotel was very clean and nice, and conveniently located. I would definitely recommend this place!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location. Beautiful, clean and new suite. Exceeded my expectations.
- Ramon (10/5): Perfect, Cozy Hotel - Such a small, cozy place!
Great location and great service.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It’s the best location in Fira. Right on the square with all the shops and restaurants. 5 minutes walk to the bus terminal that can bring you to all major sights. Christina is extremely helpful, the great host. The apartment is very clean and comfortable, great choice for visiting Santorini.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Ideal location in the centre of town, close to the bus station. Christina is an excellent host.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Host was extremely nice, friendly and helpful in making my short trip in santorini very smooth. Hotel room was modern and clean. And crawling distance from bars/ restaurants.
- Ee Lyn (10/5): Great place to stay in Fira - Amazing host and room. The room is very nice and in very good condition. Location is right at the centre of Fira town. Thank you for the 2 wonderful eggs from your farm too:)
- Kerry (10/5): Great value in Thira - Really enjoyed our stay. Rooms compact but very well laid out. High quality furnishings and comfortable beds. Great location and wonderful service.
- Kerry (10/5): Best hostess ever! - Amazing hostess, very helpful with arranging tours. Room was very comfortable, compact but very well organized.
- David (10/5): Great Fira hotel - Platia was a great place to stay in Fira. Close to great restaurants. Christina was amazing, helped us book tickets for tours and transportation to the airport. Very comfortable room with a balcony. Had a great time there.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great Hotel in Fira - This place is great. Lovely room with a balcony. Christina (owner) is great at helping to book tours and transport to and from the airport. Close to great restaurants. We loved it. Highly recommended.
- Wei Ni (10/5): Definitely recommended! - Although Platia is located right in the middle of the main square, it is not noisy at all during the night for our stay! Many eateries and shops are conveniently located around the area. Bus and taxi terminals are reachable by a few minutes walk. Cosy and clean room with awesome amenities. Wonderful hosts!
- Daniel (10/5): - Platia is essentially a boutique hotel at a very competitive price
+ Service is excellent and on par, if not better, than some 5 Star hotels
+ Large amount of amenities in-room (coffee machine, ironing board, lint roller, mini bar, usb charging ports, etc)
+ Location is excellent, a few meters away from the main square in Fira and just a few minutes from the main bus station
- Don (10/5): - The welcome we got from Christina may have been the best greeting at a hotel we have ever received. We arrived early, but she was completely ready. What a great experience.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice contemporary hotel located right in the centre of Fira but you barely hear any noise from the street. Both Christina & Maria are the great and friendly hosts.
- Angela (10/5): - Christina is such a lovely host! I bothered her with numerous emails before my departure and she was always keen to reply to every email. We came in very last and she waited for us till the mid-night. She gave us information about the island and she offered us a map. And we got 2 free eggs and bottle water, juice from her everyday! The room was clean and tide, the hotel was located in the town so we were not worry about safety issue and the restaurant opens till 2pm.
Highly recommend for travelers to come!
5 stars for hospitality!
- Brett (10/5): Wonderful stay - Great welcome by Christina, comfortable room. Good location.
- Ling Yan (10/5): The best room - To be honest, this is the best room I have stayed so far, in terms of location, cleanliness, price, warmth of reception, and design of the room. I would definitely choose it again if I visit santorini next time. Although there are not many rooms in this company, it is the embodiment of the rationale of quantity over quantity.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - They went above and beyond our expectations. They provided great local information for our day trips and very hospitable. We highly recommend them.
- Carrie (10/5): - Amazingly helpful, kind and accomodating owner, great location in the heart of the city and brand new rooms etc. Great breakfast included in nearby restaurant. Excellent overall value.
- Catherine (10/5): - Platia is in a perfect location not far from from bus station. Modern hotel with helpful friendly staff. Sweets, coffee and eggs were left everyday for us, as well. Very good wifi.
- Peter (10/5): Value for money suites minutes from caldera view - We find the room clean, well appointed and more than adequate for our needs. The bed was comfortable and the warm, ambient lighting was a nice, tasteful touch. We slept like babies despite having a busy restaurant below. During the 4D3N we were there, we received daily replenishment of complimentary coffee capsules, packet juices, pastries and even raw eggs. Having a Bosch coffee maker and a WMF egg cooker was a welcomed plus. On one of the days, we were pleasantly surprised when we saw a delicious chocolate cake on the table, beckoning us to chomp it down. What a nice touch!
The stand-out for Platia has to be the exceptional service. Christina and Maria will overwhelm you with their warmth and hospitality, not to mention all the pertinent information you need to make for a memorable stay. We highly recommend Platia without hesitation. This value-for-money luxury in the heart of Fira is mere minutes from the stunning caldera view and the central bus terminal.
- Whe Rim (10/5): Easy to get to location & Sweet Home Feeling - Super convenient location, some could complain that it's noisy from the main street. but it wasn't big deal for us once we close the terrace door.
I felt very safe even at night because of that main street location.
Maria & Christina, the owners of the hotel, are so kind & sweet and willing to help with anything. They do make you feel at home. If I ever go back to Santorini, I will definitely stay at Platia again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great small hotel in the center - The hotel is 3 or 4 rooms plus reception on the roof. Rooms are new, tastefully decorated, have mini fridge, safe, coffee machine, egg cooker. Nice little extra things like welcome cake or two fresh eggs every morning. Rooms have deck/balcony with table and chairs. Convenient location in the town center close to restaurants, shops, museum, bus station. 3-4 minutes walk to a supermarket. Absolutely fantastic staff, super friendly, treat you as a friend. Wi-fi worked alright, no issues with streaming. Nothing really to complain about, very good value for money.
- jnel (10/5): Friendly and Welcoming - Great location and room. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The room had everything i needed for a comfortable stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great hotel with central location - We had an amazing stay at Platia in Santorini! The location is perfect - right in the center of the island's main town, Fira, close to restaurants and the main bus station. The room was very clean with a comfortable bed and nice little patio. The room was stocked with water, juice, coffee, tea, and pastries every day. The staff was extremely helpful with providing recommendations for activities and restaurants and making us feel at home. Would highly recommend this as a great place to stay in Santorini!
- Janine (8/5): - The room was a bit tiny but it was extremely well appointed, with everything we needed. Bed was super comfortable and a/c amazing. Christina was extremely helpful and kind and made everything perfect.
