The property is modern and clean with everything you need. The staff go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and memorable. They are also very knowledgeable about the area and getting around. Would definitely recommend this hotel again and would stay again as close to amenities and transport but very quiet and safe .

I had difficulty finding hotel, but once i did, staff were excellent! Very helpful with information.
Single room was sufficient and even had kitchenette facilities if required.
Bathroom had very good lighting. Shower had good pressure and water temp but was tiny. Lucky for me, so am I.
Pool unheated, and for my mid Oct visit, it was too cool for me.
Location convenient for rhe bus stop and shopping.

Paula and Ana are a true charm. Helped us with dinning, ATV, clubs, beaches, and shared time with us on the patio. The property is near everything. Its however away from the main streets so you have that quietness you need to rest. Room is adorable with all the amenities you need. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone who is looking for an affordable accommodation. Staff is amazing and made our stay so much fun! Santorini we miss you already!!

Let me just begin by saying receptionist Anna was so helpful from the moment we arrived she had the best attitude. She helped us explaining the island and what they had to offer she also explained transportation and gave us good restaurant recommendations that were amazing. This place is super convenient it’s close by EVERYTHING. Don’t hesitate and book your stay.

My partner and I had the best time staying at Markakis Studio Fira!!! The value for location and money is definitely 5/5! It is literally 3min walk away to Fira Main Square, also walking distance to different sunset spots. The receptionists, Anna and Paola were super friendly and helpful. We checked in a few hours earlier and were allowed to use the pool while we waited for our room. We also did an amazing day Santorini tour organised by the villa for €40 each with a meeting point at the hotel right next door. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you, Markakis Studio :)

The true meaning of HOSPITALITY

Markakis Studios perfectly demonstrates the true meaning of hospitality. The staff was very attentive making us feel welcomed and comfortable, thus offering a "home away from home." The studio is very spacious providing a separation of space with the mini-kitchen and a patio outside. The location is very central and we like how close we were to the Fira Market, Svoronos Bakery, and restaurants on the Main Square. There was so much to do and see in Santorini during the week that we didn't have time to enjoy the pool. Also, thank you Joana for arranging our airport transportation.

The perfect little hotel for your visit to Santorini! Honestly one of the best sleeps I've had in a long, long time. The staff is absolutely lovely and super helpful when it comes to helping you get around the island, making restaurant recommendations, and arranging airport transfers. A well-equipped little room, and the pool is really nice to have on those super hot days. I would definitely stay here again if I return to Santorini!

Would stay here again

Staff is very friendly. Location is excellent (quiet alley but very near to bus stop and town center). As many people have already mentioned, the interior is a bit on the old side... but for the price/location (especially during shoulder season or off season), you can overlook the outdated decor. I would definitely stay here again (save money on hotel and use it for shopping instead). Also, the front desk can arrange airport transfer and it is a fair price (5 euro per person). There is a bakery that is open 24 hrs (up the hill then make a right — next to McDonalds — you can google for exact location).

Rooms were older but very clean. Bathroom is very small. Shower works well but water leaks into floor. I would stay here again. Was a nice, clean place. Close to everything. We rented a 4 wheeler to travel around the island, to go to all the beaches. Was fun. Also went to a Greek wedding show, was fun. Santorini is a fun, beautiful place to visit.

Отель не имеет конкретного адреса. Не волнуйтесь, если вбить название в новигатор его легко найти. Находится в 5-ти минутах хотьбы от автобусной остановки. В самой квартире чисто, каждодневная уборка со сменой полотенец. Немного шумно, плохая звукоизоляция. Если вы настроены на отдых у моря, то придется воспользоваться такси автобусом или взять в аренду квадробайк.

Central location close to the main square

Location is great for those using public transport as near the square and only 10 minutes walk (up hill) from the Caldera. We could see the sea on the other side of the island, above the roof tops, from the balcony outside room number 10. Rooms are pretty basic but value for money overall, our room was too dark for me (very subjective) and a bit tired to be honest....so good for a couple of nights if you’re looking for somewhere to put your head down and get out exploring during the day. Room was tidied each day and staff were helpful and pleasant. Other rooms had larger outside areas which looked over the small but attractive pool area, so I guess all rooms are different and I did book last minute!!

Fantastic location and everything you need!

This studio accommodation was in a fantastic location- one block down from main town square, one block over from the main bus terminal of the whole island! Busses from Fira go everywhere on the island regularly. The room we booked had two twin beds pushed together, a kitchenette, private bathroom, beautiful balcony with gorgeous flower like roof. AC in the bedroom (we needed help with it initially but worked just fine rest of the time). Daily room cleaning while we were out and about, very safe and trusting. A cozy, beautiful, perfect location kind of a studio! Would recommend without any hesitation!

Would save money and stay here again!

Great bargain for location. Very clean, housekeeping & clean towels daily, beach/pool towels available, blow dryer, & very helpful front desk staff. I've read other review complaining of bugs, there were NO bugs/roaches anywhere on entire site, the place was clean and kept up well. For the price, this place exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was quaint, but provided exactly what we needed for the small amount of time we were in room. This is not where you stay for ocean views, but it was right off Fira city center and walking distance to buses that took us to beaches and Oia. If you've never been to Santorini, leave your heels behind and bring nice walking shoes! Ladies, even at clubs you'll prefer flats, terrain is rough everywhere.

Great location to the town of Fira for shopping and dining. We enjoyed the views from Fira as much... if not more, than Oia. The room had a lot of space for our family of four. It was very basic, nothing fancy, but great location, nice pool and nice people at check-in. It is more of a "studio" style with no lobby or hotel amenities. They provided towels and linen, but no shampoo, lotions, etc like a hotel. There was a hair dryer, however. We would stay here again!!

Basic but clean. Great for booking on a budget

If you are looking for a place on a budget, but that is clean, then book at Markakis.
We couldn't afford to spend a lot of money on accommodation so this was a good comprimise.
They are very basic rooms - unfortunately no double beds, only twin singles, which was the only negative I could say if coming as a couple.
The staff running the place was very nice!
The location was good. Expect to walk up hills - but u can't avoid that anywhere in Fira.
The key for us was to explore Santorini and not spend our days in the hotel.
For this reason, Markakis was a good choice :)

The owner was eager to please and bent over backwards to make our stay enjoyable and memorable. He gave us tips on the best wineries on the island as well as directions and recommendations on what to do and where to go. All this for some of the lowest prices in Fira...you can't beat the value!
