Our only disappointment was the air conditioning/heating which was centrally controlled, leaving our room airless. The staff did help us resolve this with much kindness."

"The location is outstanding…a few blocks from the stunning views of the Caldera, a few blocks to the $2 dollar public buses to the airport and Oia, and a stone’s throw from markets/pharmacies/laundry. The best bargain on the Island. The rooms are as advertised - modern/clean - and while it’s clearly aimed at the budget traveller, it gets 5 stars from me for hitting it out of the park on value! Also, lovely staff and great black out curtains for those arriving on overnight flights"
