Top Fira Hotel Reviews

The Majestic Hotel

The Majestic Hotel

8/10 Good
"Taking the time to write a review to point out only one thing that troubled me after spending a total of about 8 weeks in Greece during my life. The daytime concierges (not the nighttime one) are not very friendly. I get it, I’m from the US where we engage in meaningless pleasantries, however I’ve only experienced tremendous hospitality all over Greece over the last 20 years. The daytime concierges seemed bothered by such things as requests for the laundry menu to have wash done or getting a taxi. Seeing if they would respond to a greeting became a bit of a game of will they or won’t they. Also, if I’ve already sent my luggage with the porter 30 min before checkout time, don’t call me 15 min before check out time to make tell me you need me out of the room by checkout time as if I’m overstaying. That’s unnecessary and rude. I’ve never encountered such rudeness Even front desks at hostels in Greece from my younger days were friendlier. Rest of hotel staff from nighttime concierge, porter, cleaning person, wait staff, lifeguard, everyone actually were great. No idea where they’re hiring daytime concierges, but I never asked them for any assistance I could have used to avoid their negativity on my vacation. Thank god for AI and the internet for substituting in for front desk. Isn’t a Santorini thing either as this is my second time on the island. Hotel chain that owns Majestic needs to tell front desk the hotel is marketed as five star accommodation."

Philippion Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good
"3 night family stay in September. Booked 2 x double bedrooms, returning to the Philippion after 9 years. Highlights: - Friendly, informal boutique hotel and welcoming staff. Nicely presented property in areas of the reception, terraces and walkways - Reasonably priced for dates of our stay - Excellent hotel as a base if focus of holiday is to explore the island - Short walking distance to Thira with great views of the caldera - Generously sized rectangular pool with comfortable sun beds - Ample car parking Areas for attention: - several new hotels have appeared around the Philippion, the El Greco next door having had a major re-fresh and upgrades. Philippion looks tired in comparison. Dining room appears dull and dark with outdated furniture. - Our double was comfortable but with limited wardrobe and cupboard storage. Adequate for our 3 night stay. Tight shower area with limited space for toiletries - Our bedroom had a balcony which was pleasant but worryingly the main railing and several decking planks were loose, surprised these hadn’t been part of the room preparations - Many of the rooms are on the upper level with stone steps to note for families / guests with mobility considerations - No outside pool toilet / shower facilities, useful if utilising pool area after check out. - The hotel entrance has no ramp which made it somewhat inconvenient for us to wheel in luggage and pushchair - breakfast is good but confined area would benefit from additional toaster."
