Amazing hotel, great breakfast, room and service. Close enough from Fira to walk and far enough away from crowds.

Wow wow wow! The villa we stayed out was beautiful, we did not have to worry about tourist crowds to see the sunset as we were able to see it from our villa in the jacuzzi with a nice bottle of wine! The staff were amazing, we ordered breakfast at 10am and it was delivered to our room at 10am exactly each day. The room was so beautiful and location was perfect, we were in walking distance to everything. I can’t say enough good things about this hotel. We will be coming back!

My daughter and I stayed at the Galini Hotel for a week in August, and our experience was outstanding. Everything about the hotel—from the staff and service to the food and location—was excellent. Even before our arrival, the staff reached out to see if we had any special requests, and check-in was seamless and quick. The rooms are simple but very clean, equipped with everything you might need, including a hair dryer, toiletries, a fridge, and slippers. The hotel staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, with Jenny and Thera (sp?) standing out for their exceptional service. They went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable, even helping us plan fantastic daily excursions. The breakfast at the hotel was delicious, with a wide variety of options. The location was perfect, offering stunning views of the caldera and only a two-minute walk to nearby restaurants and small grocery stores. Fira’s shopping area was just a 20-minute walk away. If we return to Greece, we will definitely stay at the Galini Hotel again, and I highly recommend this amazing property to everyone.

Jenny was a real jewel helping with all our questions and needs. The room faced the sunsets each evening and the view could not have been better. There was a restaurant on site for breakfast which was excellent. The only drawback was there was no pool which I had overlooked when we booked. The customer service made up for this!!

After a rough start at checkin concerning our room placement, the experience was more than made up for by its friendly staff and perfect location for walking to shops and restaurants and to our ATV. The breakfast was included at the cafe and our table was reserved for the best view. There were many choices and the staff was even happy to take photos of us. Jenny, who worked the desk, gave us many ideas about where to go and what to do. All in all, a wonderful experience!

The hospitality of the staff at Hotel Galini was beyond amazing! We arranged for a transfer to and from the ferry port and the reponses from the hotel staff to arrange the services were fast. We were greeted at arrival by front desk and we were informed of all the nearby landmarks and even guided to our room and informed of all the amenities and complimentary items. Front staff went above and beyond in their care. Right outside our room is a shared balcony that provided a beautiful view of the caldera and sea. If you don't want to see a sunset at the crowded Oia, you can comfortably watch from your room. The room is slightly small and difficult to open and close large suitcases but we were aware of this. The room looked exactly as the pictures online. The popular authentic greek food restaurant Aktaion is right outside the hotel. The walk to Fira to the bus station is 15minutes max from the hotel. I would consider restaying at this location in the future.

Great place, gorgeous views, clean and comfortable. Stayed in the most expensive suite and it was lovely but not exceptional. The staff were polite and accommodating but it didn't have a warm feel to the service. Lots of food options. The deck upstairs didn't have sufficent shade to use as we were expecting.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location with beautiful 180 " views of Caldera, right in middle of Caldera, near Fira. Nice restaurant on top with good choices and very good breakfast and service. Few other real nice restaurants just few steps away. We had a room with private balcony which was very comfortable with beautiful views. My only suggestion is to update the bathroom and shower, otherwise very comfy.

Ideal location and beautiful view. Clean, quiet, and very comfortable bed. The complementary breakfast was delicious! A short walk to Thira, and a short bus ride away to Oia. The only thing we can complain about was the size of bathroom, and especially how the shower is oriented which causes water to go all over the floor. Otherwise, the staff were very helpful and extremely friendly.

My wife and I stayed in the Junior Villa in late July 2023. This property provided an incredible and efficient experience for us. The Villa itself is in a perfect location with beautiful views from the balcony and terrace of the sea and the volcano. The private terrace has a tub and can view the sunset. Breakfast was individually ordered and delivered to the balcony in the morning. The interior of the Villa we found very cozy with the stone structure entering the rooms and shower. The staff was amazing. Messaged us every day on whatsapp to make sure we had everything we needed, arranged our transfers to/from airport, and also arranged activities for us. The general area for the hotel and villa is in the "quieter" part of the city which was exactly what we were looking for. Overall, the experience made our trip to Santorini as perfect as it could get. Highly recommended!

Our stay was amazing. We were in the family villa. On arrival, you are not able to drive too close to the unit, the final portion is down a few minutes of steps, but the gentleman who delivered our luggage was amazing and handled it with ease. Further he delivered breakfast to our unit each morning exactly as planned and orderred. The unit was amazing, the hot tub exactly as shown with a ridiculous view of the caldera.The arched ceiling in the unit and cave like rooms and bathroom were special. Would recommend to anyone. The only issue was our hot water did not work on the forst night, but when notified, the same gentleman who delivered our bags, actually ran to our unit and had it working in just minutes. I have no idea why this is shown as a 2 star hotel, it is a 5 star treatment and facility without a doubt. Book it with ease.

There is nothing specific that I didn't like; for its price point, this wonderful. I don't rate it the full five stars only because there are establishments that are possibly better at higher price points. If the mantra of the hotel industry is "location location location", then this is really really good. The views from just outside my room was outstanding, and the hotel itself is a minute's walk away from where the taxi dropped me off.

While the room & view are everything one could hope for (expect a small room), the staff is what made our visit even more special. Julie, Dennis & the Cafe Galini staff were all exceptional! Cafe is truly the best restaurant on the island!

I stayed a couple nights in their Premier Room. I was greeted by Dennis, who checked me in and was kind enough to give me a brief overview of Santorini, and how to get around. The room was small, yet cozy and clean. Great view of the Caldera and sunset. The included breakfast in the Galini cafe above was also delicious! Would def recommend if looking for something semi luxurious, without the higher price that comes with amenities like an Infinity Pool/hot tub.

Everything was "right" about this hotel; The convenient and quiet location in the center of Firostefani, the intuitive and knowledgeable front desk staff, Dennis and Yulie (sorry if I spelled that wrong!)...the absolute serenity of our balcony (room 104) at sunset...the room was small but well-appointed, and everyday, housekeeping returned the room to an untouched state!..We spent four nights in Santorini, exploring, and before long, we realized our favorite place to be was the Hotel Galini, and the Galini Cafe...If someone said I had to spend the rest of my life in one chair, I would choose the corner table in their rooftop cafe, just staring at the caldera, my cappacino being refilled by Yolena and Vula, two of the hardest working girls in Greece! It might sound shallow that the high point of my two weeks in that beautiful country was breakfast there, but I can't ignore my feelings! Compared to Fira, there are far fewer dining options, but directly behind the hotel is Aktaion, a family restaurant celebrating 100 years of simple perfection. All in all, a flawless experience.

Did not expect the service to be that exceptional since it’s only 2 star hotel! Front desk was very helpful, provided complimentary map and advised on area, transportation, parking details. The lady that did room cleaning is amazing! She did such a great job!Also the complimentary breakfast at Galini Cafe - did not expect to be that delicious! Just make sure you do reservation for breakfast the night before at the front desk and you will get the best tables with exceptional view. Hotel located right next to Firostefani Square and it takes minutes to get to nearest restaurants. We had an amazing time with my husband, I highly recommend Galini Hotel

We had an absolutely brilliant time at Galini. Before we even arrived the helpful reception staff helped reserve us fantastic dinners and an ATV to explore the island. We had lovely tables at all those restaurants as they helped us book in advance. We stayed in the room with a balcony over the caldera and it was hands down the most incredible view I have ever had from a hotel room. It was not only stunning but took the pressure off us getting to see the view throughout our time in Santorini with all the crowds as we knew we had an amazing view to go home to! The room itself is very small but it has everything you’ll need. Galini Cafe upstairs has lovely food and they reserve tables with the best view for guests to enjoy for breakfast and dinner. Fresh breakfasts with large servings set us up well for the day. The rooms have smart TVs and fast wifi. Oh and the hotel also organised us a transfer from the ferry port to the hotel when we arrived in the island - I recommend you do this too as it can be chaotic at the port! Overall we could not recommend Galini higher.

The views are by far the best part of this hotel. The staff was very nice and welcoming. Their breakfast is good and the waitresses very kind and professional. It was a pleasure having breakfast there every morning. The food was good, as were the beverages; freshly squeezed orange juice every day, coffee, and tea. The rooms were nice, but do need a little sprucing up. There was a musty odor that apparently was attributed to humidity in the room, and they had a dehumidifier running. I do not believe that is sufficient. Rooms need to be freshly painted, and this issue should be corrected. Other than that they provide bottled water every day of your stay. Nice place that can be made so much better if the issues I just mentioned are addressed. The views from the balconies are breathtaking without a doubt.
