The staff went above and beyond! They remembered what activities we had planned each day and checked in every evening to see if we enjoyed them ❤️

Good location, the hotel is at the bottom of a hill, this was ok to walk for my wife who hates walking up hills. Lovely clean hotel, very nice staff, rooms are well maintained and stylish. Swimming pool is a nice size and area around the pool is kept clean and tidy
The rooms would benefit from a few more shelves. The sunbeds are ok but have seen better days

The Golden Star is a lovely hotel. The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated, the bed was very comfortable and to step out onto the pool patio in the morning, topped off the stay. The staff were very helpful throughout our stay. The hotel is located a couple of streets back from the Fira craziness and overlooks the water on the other size of the island. I would definitely stay here again.

A very clean and well-appointed apartment located not far from the bus station and the tourist area. The staff were very friendly and provided great information for dining out and where to go.

This was a great find for a hotel in Santorini. Very short walk to shops, restaurants. The staff was simply wonderful. We felt like we were with family!

I went to Santorini for my solo trip to celebrate my birthday, and I was giving a gorgeous spacious room. Absolutely love the room. Staff where amazing ( both the lady ( she gave me a list of places to go visit and take nice pictures) and the night receptionist), housekeep amazing and lovely as well.
Room looks luxurious and very clean.
Mario was the driver who picked me from the airport on my arrival, thank you for also helping me during my stay and suggesting places to go, and eat.
Thank you everyone for making my birthday week lovely. When I am visiting Santorini, this will be my number 1 hotel to stay. I'll definitely come back.

everything was great staff, location, beautiful pool and room.
5.0 / 5.0
We liked everything about it. Newly renovated so it was modern, clean, located just far enough away from the main area that there was no noise but close enough to not be an inconvenience. The pool was lovely for swimming and relaxing.
Nothing I didn't like.
4.0 / 5.0
the position close to bars and restaurants. The pool area was very nice but quite a busy road running adjacent to it. We didn’t have the hot weather to lounge around it but it was very noticeable there was a busy road there. Staff were very friendly especially Mario who made us very welcome and told us about the area. we were in room number 8 which was very nice but there was a small window which had no blind or curtain - it let in so much light. A little blind would have been better.
no blind at the window in our lovely room.

The staff is very, very friendly and nice. they feel like friends. When you arrive they give you all the information you need, making it easier for you to explore the island. In general excellent service. The whole place is very clean, and we found our room in amazingly cleaned every single day. Would definitely recommend, and would stay there again in the future.
that we couldn’t stay there longer.

In the past days, we have stayed in Hotel Golden Star for three days due to our first vacation in Santorini. It was all perfect, thanks to the kind staff that helped us since the beginning with some information. They also offered us a free upgrade of our room and always smile to us.
Perfect hotel, completely renewed, easy connected with all the crucial point of the Island. Super recommended!
4.5 / 5.0
The location is exceptional. the room is very nice, spacious and comfortable. the hotel facilities are excellent. and the pool is great.
we spent great days in Santorini.
the only thing we didn't like was the fact that the shower space was small and the shower curtain constantly touching our body.
The only thing missing is to add breakfast.
3.5 / 5.0
The central local and the swimming pool. The hotel staff is friendly. They allow me to store my luggage for a few days before my stay.
The basis room facilities are very limited. There is no cup or kettle but they will provide them if you ask.
1.5 / 5.0
The location is excellent. The pool was big. The room had a nice view from the sea (not the caldera side).
There are few things about the property that really need to be improved. The bed was very hard. I requested a double bed but had instead 2 single beds pushed together with a blanket in the middle to stop the gap.
The brackish water in the shower was very unpleasant.
No facilities for coffee or tea in the room. I had to ask to the receptionist for a coffee in the morning. She said she only had it black but the cleaner made my coffee once and there was milk in the fridge. Plus, they run out of sugar. The property is right in the middle of Fira and they didn't have sugar.
I found the lady receptionist abrupt. Like, very abrupt.
I had to add my credit card to make the booking on this website as standard. Every single hotel has always asked me at the check out if they can use the card on the booking or if I wish to pay with another one. I really do not understand why Golden Star Hotel just took the payment from my card when I was at the hotel instead of asking me how I wanted to pay.
I can overlook the hardness of the bed and small shower as it is a 3 stars hotel but the little details like the receptionist constant sour face, the eye rolling to make a coffee and taking the money from my card without my approval really got to me.

lovely pool area and for a budget hotel in the area it was much nicer than we thought it would be - parking was also good
3.5 / 5.0
Good location. Lovely swimming pool. Nice balcony. Staff organised transport from port to hotel and then from hotel to airport. Very punctual and efficient
New roads have been built in Thira and this means a lot of traffice noise in the hotels in the town centre.

A panorama to the lower sodę of island, to sunrise. Very nice people. Good information about the island. Super swimming-pool.
1.0 / 5.0
The location is ok and the backyard with the swimming pool.
Too small room for a deluxe room. The bathroom is also too small, two small bed not one master bed.
You cant use the swimming pool or the jacuzzi after 21h the guy from the reception was too rude because they didn't tell us about it in a first place so we didn't know. He said it was too obvious... but how could we guess this?! Dirty glasses and so smelly towels.

The receptionist, Anastasia, was very helpful since the first moment!
Everything is clean and the swimming pool is great.
Perfect place to stay in Santorini to visit Fira by foot as well as the rest of the island by moto/car (free parking in the hotel)
