Thera hotels near Museum of Prehistoric Thira

Pros: Wonderful and beautiful hotel! Great amenities and close walk to First.

Pros: Great hotel clean and comfortable! Amazing staff! Good location! We really enjoyed our stay!

Pros: Absolutely fantastic staff who helped us with anything and everything including my daughter's fuzzy dining habits :-).

Pros: Room has ants all over the place. We arrived at 8am and made us wait til check in time despite of informing the hotel of early arrival and I even requested a transfer service from airport to hotel to let them know of my early arrival.

Cons: The location is far to the center and if you have a tour you have to meet the bus at a meeting point. Tours are not able to pick up and drop off at this hotel.

Pros: The property is gorgeous so clean and nicely decorated. Very roomy for me and my family of 5. The hotel was a little piece of heaven, gorgeous views and peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of Fira. But only 5-8min walk into the centre of town. The roof top jacuzzi and private pool was amazing. We loved the grotto themed shower and the shower head was so good. Best shower had in all of our trip throughout Italy and Greece. Staying here was magical. We felt instantly relaxed as soon as we arrived in our room. We loved Santorini and our stay at Astro Palace really made the trip even more special. We ordered pepperoni pizza and potato fries from the bar. It was delicious and my kids couldn’t get enough. The drinks from the bar was also amazing. I had the best Lime Mojito ever here. The staff were also especially lovely and friendly and gave us a lot of useful tips for our 2 night stay here. We didn’t want to leave this resort.

Cons: There are some areas that might not be safe for young kids, you need to really watch the kids during your stay. As always you need to supervise children.

Pros: The location was good, just a 10 minute walk into the city. 10 minute walk up a hill though.

Cons: The air conditioning in the room didn’t work well. The room was very light. Breakfast was average, more like lunch with chicken and fish sticks. Spa staff was overwhelming, always talking to us trying to make us get a massage after the 15 minute free one we got. The facility and rooms were good but could’ve been better.

Pros: Excellent facilities and personnel

Cons: Room on the road side , quite noisy at night.

Pros: Amazing, super friendly staff. Facilities were superb. Breakfast was fantastic offering a plethora of food options, catering for even the most fastidious eater. Short stroll into Fira with many restaurants and shops at your feet.

Pros: The nicest staff, accommodating and helpful for arranging everything we needed (including ATV rentals, transfer to airport, etc.) hotel was beautifully maintained and amenities were exceptional. Cannot wait to come back here again!

Cons: Wish it was on the caldera!

Pros: The staff was very helpful and kind.

Cons: N/A

Pros: The location was outstanding, perfect situation in the prime area of Fira. Views over the caldera and volcano were some of the best I have ever seem. Staff at hotel were amazing too.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Best location

Cons: room a bit too small

Pros: It was a great luxurious start to a fantastic holiday!

Pros: The breakfast was quite basic. The location is amazing. By far the best hotel with location and views of the Caldera and Sunsets. The staff very friendly after they get to know you :-) The room are very basic and small for the rate. Overall I would stay in this hotel again for the convenience and location and access with luggage.

Pros: The location was central and the views were beyond words, amazing ! You step out of the hotel and you are in the heart of Thira - the spot cannot be beaten. The staff too were very helpful to the point where we missed breakfast one morning and Gerasimos (staff) saw us leave for the day and offered us croissants to go ! Without being prompted. We will be back ... thanks Atlantis Hotel

Pros: The communications with the Atlantis staff was always prompt and answered all questions and requests. When we arrived, everything was in place and everyone was very pleasant and made us feel welcome. I simply can't say enough good things. The breakfast, the view, the location was all above our expectations. The staff did everything to help with planning and even changed a room for us upon arrival.

Pros: The staff was unbelievably friendly and helpful. Anna and Gerisomos were fantastic. Great location and excellent sunset on the hotel balcony.

Pros: - amazing location, the view, distance from centre, and bus stop - it was peaceful but not too quiet - a really lovely atmosphere, lovely staff - chilled swimming pool

Cons: - maybe I should’ve got a room with a view... but restaurant always had free seats outside, just a meter from the crowds!

Pros: Hard to beat for the price point. The staff was extremely helpful and pleasant. Highlights: 1) The staff: Never saw anyone at the hotel who WASN'T smiling. They went above and beyond to provide relevant and useful advice, arrange any excursions, and improve the stay. 2) The facilities: The common areas were beautiful, the room was spacious and comfortable. 3) The convenient location: The hotel is located across from a couple shops (including a grocery store) and just down the street from the nightlife and tourist attractions- without being so close that you have to hear the bass of the clubs all night (unless you are into that!)

Cons: Santorini is renowned for its panoramic views of the beach- this location does not provide that. Also, the rooms are not sound proof so if you are a light sleeper it could be an issue.

Pros: The staff. Very friendly and accommodating.

Cons: No kettle in room. Minor issue.

Pros: Staff Pool Restaurant excellent

Cons: No bath in room just shower and jacuzzi shut at 11pm

Pros: All of the staff in this hotel were extremely friendly and welcoming. Kostas gave us great recommendations during our stay. Bed was very comfortable, food was lovely, pool was great (not too busy) excellent location near bus terminal and would highly recommend.

Cons: Nothing to dislike

Pros: Very clean and convenient

Cons: There is no view of anything at this location but very close to the beautiful Mountain View

Pros: Lovely hotel with very friendly staff. Polly the manager and Matilda and Nacho and Janus by the bar couldn’t have made our stay any more fun and comfortable. The pool is lovely too!

Cons: The walls are paper thin and everyone can hear you. But as an ex army base that’s the case.

Pros: The breakfast was very good and the location is perfect.

Pros: locatiion good

Pros: The hotel is amazing very near to the center the staff and everyone was lovely but I found it needs to work more on making the rooms more sound proof. Was very noisy in the morning.

Pros: Friendly staff, excellent pool, great location if renting a car as well

Pros: The location, customer service and pool.

Cons: Really poor wifi

Pros: Location and front view of Santorini's sunset are pristine. Good choice but not an extravagant upscale hotel.

Cons: It looks a little run down. Reception is poorly decorated. The third bed in our room was a foam sofa that was out of an IKEA store. Not many choices of international channels. Restaurant was beautiful but empty. A little sad.

Pros: Excellent location. Near to the center of santorini and they offer shuttle service to Oia Warm welcoming, very helpful staff , they planned my journey in santorini from first day and all was excellent.

Pros: Customer service was fantastic very clean and awesome breakfast

Cons: Everything was amazing

Pros: This experience was a mixed of good and bad things.

Cons: The volcano views and the terrasses look amazing and appealing but actually the terrasse is 5 meters away from the road with high traffic. There is no quiet moment and a bit hard to find a good sleep. The swimming pool looks amazing but is way too cold so few people can get in it. The pre-arranged transportation from the harbour costs 25 euros for 15/20 minutes min drive but you found yourself not being waited at the boat, calling the reception so they call another taxi driver and in the end you found yourself squizzed with 12 other people in a mini van with a temperature between 30 and 35 degrees.. Nice waiter but he completely forget your order and tells you this after 25 minutes wait.

Pros: The hotel was very large and beautiful. It is definitely 5star quality. The pool was fantastic. The hotel boasts a beautiful vista overlooking to caldera. It is a 7 minute walk into Fira, so really very close but sufficiently far enough to be in a tranquil area. Breakfast was great, the bar made fantastic drinks, staff were very friendly but super Proffesional. The room was lovely- we had a garden view close to the pool for 2 adults 1 child. I was very spacious and clean.

Cons: The property was great, my only gripe was when trying to find it. The hotel sign is discreet, so we drove past and had to turn around. It’s not a big gripe at all because on entering the lobby we were greeted with lovely staff, a hot towel and an amazing glass of cherry juice.

Pros: The staff. Absolutely impeccable. Nothing was too much trouble. The location. Great to be out of the main town but near enough to walk in.

Cons: Some of the fixtures and fittings need modernising like the shower in the bath room.

Pros: Staff were wonderful and so helpful, comfortable hotel excellent facilities could not have been better

Cons: Leaving

Pros: Just 10 minutes walk from downtown. There is an outdoor charming terrasse that I wanted to use for breakfast and the staff was super nice to setup a table there for me. Was aloud a late check-out that really was helpful. Very charming and staff.

Pros: Close to the main town of Fira Helpful staff

Cons: Advertised as Volcano view but there is a main road in front of the hotel after which you can see the volcano Basic rooms and facilities - not a five star but a 3.5 or maybe 4 star hotel.

Pros: Room with balcony. Good location. Pool. I was able to leave my baggage free of charge after check-out. I was able to take a shower after check-out (I do not remember, I think I pay 5 euros for that).

Cons: The toilet is small. The breakfast is basic but ok. We had a misunderstanding about breakfast. When checking in, they told me the breakfast schedule, but not that it had a cost. The penultimate day of my stay they informed me that I had to pay. It was in the booking information, but since I came from a long trip (I was in many hotels), I forgot that breakfast was not included. So it was my fault not to corroborate that before and their fault not being clear in the beginning.

Pros: Everything!

Pros: The location of this hotel is fabulous - only a few yards from the centre of town, with all it has to offer and yet quiet and with stunning views down across the sea. The pool was immaculate, sharing these views and was never crowded - no fighting over sunbeds here! The Reception manageress is a lovely warm lady who is a mine of invaluable information. She provided us little printed maps of the town and where all the things we needed were and was very helpful in determining which trips we may enjoy and even what we might need to take.

Cons: In a perfect world I think the hotel would benefit from having at least a basic pool side bar as there is plenty of room for it but it was nice that they are happy for you to bring your own food and drink from local street food places back to their beautiful terrace to consume if you wish. I found the bed a bit hard and put my lilo on it! But my daughter found her's OK so it is a matter of preference.

Pros: This hotel is at a perfect location. The female receptionist was AMAZING. She was so kind and very helpful.

Cons: The lighting in the room.

Pros: Rooms of 4 people Are pretty poor! The pool is good tho

Cons: Room 4 pax

Pros: Position

Cons: Bathroom

Pros: The pool was nice. Customer service was good.

Cons: No bed for baby

Pros: Amazing location, only a five minute walk to the bars/ restaurants and the amazing view that everyone talks about! Having a swimming pool was a great bonus! Best value for money hotel you will find in Santorini.

Pros: The staffs are friendly and the location is good, less than 1 km from the Fira square and the bus station. This is also the cheapest we can get from booking.com

Cons: The price in summer is high. The floor was a bit sticky, although I find it as something often happen in a place near the sea.

Pros: Our room (number 7) had one exceptional charm. You can avoid the alarm clock. Every morning you wake up to the clinking bells of beautifully dressed donkeys walking directly under a small balcony on a donkey road from town to port. If you are fast enough, you can shoot them.

Pros: Great rroom alot of space. Fully equipped. Pool is a door step away

Pros: Lovely property! Stunning view of the east coast. Very close to Fira center. Amazing staff. Make sure you take advice from Alexis and Dimitris what to do and where to eat. You can also rent a car on site from George which is what we did. Dimitris welcomed us and was very friendly. Alexis gave us the best tips on visiting the island. Don't miss the sunrise view (yes sunrise) which was so calm and stunning. Rooms were kept clean and the staff was very nice. Highly recommended.

Cons: Our room had a black hot tub area which could have been lighter shade. But not a deal breaker. The breakfast was same everyday but it's very nice. Would have liked a bit variance and bit more veggie options.

Pros: Spacious rooms, nice pool, good location

Cons: Quality of bedding

Pros: The staff was fantástic, helpful, courteous and accommodating. Willing to give directions and recomend places to go. Breakfast was good. Entire place kept CLEAN !!!

Cons: Bedroom at top floor too small, bed not so comfortable.

Pros: The people were very helpful and friendly. If you want to rent a moto my recommendations is to get it from the hotel. They have had good moto bike or quads in a healthy status. In the city the rentals are all robberies. I got a moto with a flat tire which causes problems afterwards bringing back, if you not book the full insurance upfront. My tip, if you rent a quad or motorbike double heck upfront the tires and of course brakes. The hotel was beautiful, clean with a reasonable distance to Fira to have a good and deep sleep. Everything was perfect.

Pros: The property is beautiful! It was a short walk from the main town, which is what we wanted. It was very peaceful at night. The family suite was large and perfect for our family of four! The breakfast was wonderful and the pool was an added bonus! I would definitely stay her again and I would recommend Thea Studios to anyone traveling to Thira, Santorini.

Cons: I can't think of anything I didn't like.

Pros: Adorable studio and was surprisingly roomy. Beautiful view of sunrise right in front of our studio. Very quiet and clean- fresh towels were brought in daily and the studio was tidied. Breakfast was simple, but a good deal for the money and convenient considering a lot of places don't serve breakfast in Greece. Walking distance from Fira- most of the way on footpath which is a little broken up and not lit but you can make it through alright with just a cellphone light, the remaining way you walk along the road which is a little scary as there are no sidewalks and big buses drive on the roads, but it was not too bad. They have 'quad bikes' for rent at the hotel and provide helmets and make sure you actually know how to drive it before just letting you go off (which is more than other places do and much safer). During check-in, Alexis the concierge provided us a ton of useful information about the island from three recommended restaurants, to locations of attractions and even helped us plan out our time given our length of stay.

Cons: The air conditioner did not work very well, it eventually would turn on, but it seemed to have a mind of its own.

Cons: The location of this hotel isn’t ideal- whilst it is only a short walk to central Fira (10-15 minutes), much of this involves walking on unlit backroads with no buildings and no pavements. Whilst this didn’t present any issues on this occasion, I wouldn’t have felt comfortable on this walk if I 1) had kids with me or 2) was in a group of girls only. In terms of the property itself, we were disappointed that it didn’t live up to the modern, funky photos on booking.com. The pool was turning green, and despite us receiving a free ‘upgrade’ as they ran out of the rooms we had booked, the room we ended up with looked nothing like the photos- and involved us sleeping on a mattress on the floor in a loft area that not even I at 5’3” could stand in. We felt like we had to accept this room as we were told there were no other options, so we thought we would make do and not complain as we knew we wouldn’t be spending much time there anyway. I wrote this review based on the cleanliness. Upon arrival the room was not properly clean. We found long dark hairs (that definitely didn’t belong to us) all over the room, including the floor and the fridge, and we found a few ants on one of the spare beds that we tried to disregard as the window had been left open on arrival. After a poor nights sleep (uncomfortable mattress) we left the room early and enjoyed a day out, returning late in the evening to find our room OVERRUN with ants (100+) even though we had shut all the windows. We complained to the staff who first tried to say this was expected if we had left food in the room (we hadn’t had any food in the room at all), or if a previous guest had (well apologies, it should have been cleaned before we got there?!?). They begrudgingly offered to clean the room. When we got back to the room afterwards, the sheets and rugs had been changed but after finding hairs still on the floor I can’t say I was convinced. We checked out as early as possible the morning after!

Pros: The design of the rooms was quite fascinating, as the rooms follow the cave dwelling style. Some of the staff were friendly and helpful, helping out with questions, recommendations and arranging things. And the pools were nice, although it's a pity to sit around at the pool when you can explore the island. Thea Studios is also really close to Fira (10-15 min walking), so it's easy to go sightseeing, watch the sunset, or get to the bus station to take the bus to other parts of the island. I also appreciate being able to get free coffee from the restaurant in the morning! The rooms were cleaned every day, with fresh sheets and towels, although we did not feel it was always necessary. But the feeling of cleanliness and hygiene was nice to get.

Cons: I was a bit dissatisfied with the attitude of one of the staff members who was dismissive and sarcastic when I had a mild complaint. Don't want to imagine if I had had something more serious to complain about. Fortunately, the situation was solved with the help of the other kinder staff members. The breakfast was okay, but not worth doing more than a couple of times, as there is not a lot of variety. Lastly, we were not careful with leaving doors and windows open, and got some bugs in the room which we couldn't get rid of and which were making clicking and clacking noises during the night, which was quite bothersome. This is not a complaint about the studios, as we did not request help with getting rid of this nuisance. More of a word of caution.

Pros: The location is great and the facilities like use of 2 pools was great. The free transfer from the airport was helpful too. The cleaners were incredible! George was also really friendly, approachable and helpful. You might want to double check which room you got as all are slightly different and you may not get the exact one of the photo (e.g. our jacuzzi was in a room painted black - not the lovely open kind in the apartment!

Cons: When we arrived, the apartments hadn't taken the full amount and asked for another £600 (not very nice to arrive to on your honeymoon!). I checked my bank and sure enough they had only decided to take £1000 out and didn't take the rest. We then went to pay and were asked to pay with cash - this was rather strange and I didn't have that amount of cash. We had no other option but to pay by card (cash machine 15mins walk away). After this we were made to feel very uncomfortable. Hire of the quad bikes was demanded in cash (given change from the person's wallet - not the apartment's til). A bit odd but oh well? However, towards the end of the holiday one of the men behind the desk recommended a particular catamaran tour. We therefore booked it online. The next day he mentioned they sometimes don't run if it's very windy (which is was) we therefore asked them if they could call (as my greek is only basic). He asked if we booked through them which we didn't so they would not help. He then made a sarcastic comment "I bet you paid for that by card too?" Well yes since it's online! Finally at the end of the holiday we were told breakfast was not included (which we had believed all week as nobody had said anything and it said included on booking.com site). It is in fact included ... for a price! 7euros 50 per breakfast - that was very expensive since I had yogurt and juice each morning. They wrote down every time we had breakfast and waited til the last day to present a large bill - again demanded in cash. As we were checking out we were told that there was also a tourist tax to pay (this should be requested on arrival not departure). Again demanded in cash - when my husband explained we didn't have cash as we didn't want to have to exchange it once home we were told this type of tax MUST be paid by cash - no way about it - eventually they accepted card. All a bit strange and suspicious!
