This is an excellent location. Right at the start of the Oia walkable attractions. They have a restaurant as well. The Manager was very nice and friendly. The pool was closed for my visit but since it is December, I did not care. Only one thing - The Manager called a cab for me to go from Oia to Fira. The fare decided was 30Euros. When I disembarked in Fira, the driver charge 35 Euros and said the 5 Euro charge was for credit card payment! He also checked with his 'boss' on the phone. When I argued, he said 30 Euros was for cash payment only. He was clearly lying. I had already told the Manager I would pay by credit card but since I had no way of contacting the Manager, there was nothing to do but pay. I am not sure whether the management is aware that the cab company they call does that but no better forum to make them aware. Please make sure you get the Manager to come out and repeat the rate and mode of payment in front of the can driver.

The property itself was okay. Clean. Big pool. Our room was very spacious but it had no views. Nice restaurant. We ate dinner there. Food was not bad, moderate prices, good service. Breakfast was not included. Convenient location but huge garbage place across the street from property.

The location of the property is outstanding - walkable from all major points of interest, restaurants, mini grocery shops, etc. The rooms were clean. The staff was friendly. The only issue was the doors of the bathroom the window shutters were very difficult to close (had to literally slam them shut each time). Nonetheless, very highly recommended! Wi-Fi can be a bit choppy (important if you're working remotely).

The manager who works all the time all week long is the nicest man ever! He will help you at reception with anything and is always there to make you feel welcomed and safe in this small hotel. It’s located literally in central Oia next to everything you need outside your doorstep! We loved our stay!

Laokasti is perfectly located, right at the entrance of the pedestrians path way. Market, just next door. Excellent service and food at restaurant. Very convenient, bus stop is in front of hotel. Breakfast included...was just like a buffet, amazing. I would stay there every time I come back to Santorini.

My husband and I booked this hotel as a layover because we knew we would arrive on the island at around 1am. We stayed here for a total of 5 hours, and thank God! We didn't even change into our PJs, or brush our teeth in the morning, we left as soon as we could. We do not recommend this place.

Nice pool-side, room a bit dark and hard mattress
Very nice around the pool area, but not the most comfortable night. Mattresses was very hard (and that was the 'softer' one of the two beds in the room!). Room was very dark. But a quiet room which I had requested. Just off the main tourist area, so fairy quiet but at the same time near the action. Don't get the amazing view, but then not paying for it either. But it's only a minute or two away to walk over to see it. The pool side rooms looked a lot nicer than my room. Very good restaurant and reasonably price - worth dining here for dinner. Didn't have the breakfast as was travelling early. Receptionist was super cheerful and helpful.

We stayed here for about 4 days and had a fantastic experience. The staff at the check-in counter, restaurant, cleaning, etc. were so friendly and caring, greeted us warmly, gave us various maps of the island and village along with recommendations for where to visit, and answered any questions we had. This hotel was very clean, beautiful, and quiet. It was very convenient that breakfast was included in the price; there was a variety of items on the menu and you could order an unlimited amount. We also loved the pool and had a great time relaxing there, as well as the rooftop restaurant which had a nice view of the sunset along with incredible food for good prices. In addition, as our flight was at night and check out was at 11 am, we were allowed to stay in our room for no additional cost for as long as we needed before our flight. We had never encountered such caring and great service, and we were so pleasantly surprised. The one problem we could think of is that the internet connection in our room was very slow, but I had that experience in all of Santorini, not just at this hotel. Overall, our stay here was wonderful and we would definitely visit again if we are ever in Santorini.

Great stay. Popi and her team were lovely. Professional and welcoming. The location of the hotel was fabulous. Very calm and quiet hotel, but when you step outside you are in the heart of Oia! Fabulous! Whole heatedly recommended. We had a large villa with a balcony and enjoyed our time there very much.

I really enjoyed my stay at Laokasti Villas. The location was perfect. Just across the street from the pedestrian road of Oia. The hotel was charming. It looked like a small Greek village. The pool was really nice. The best part were the staff, especially Poppi. They were so friendly and accommodating they couldn't do enough for you. I highly recommend this hotel
