villa Roussa, for 2-3 night stay is convenient and great. Behind bus station and close to all restaurants and shopping. Not a fancy place but for the price is just right. the front desk host is great and friendly. Just remember to call if you are arriving late, it is not a 24 hr front desk. Overall for a budget conscious travel is a great choice.

Reasonable overnight stay

This place was close to the bus station, which we needed as we were arriving by air at near 11pm and didn’t reach our hotel until near midnight. A staff member was still waiting for us when we arrived, which was nice. The room was clean, small and outdated but adequate for one night. We were able to leave our bags at reception until leaving on the ferry next afternoon. The different staff we encountered on reception were pleasant and helpful. Being next to the bus station and main streets meant that it was noisy with people coming and going and sometimes shouting until very early in the morning. It was expensive for what we got compared to many other places in Greece but then this is Santorini which is an expensive island wherever you stay.

The Villa Roussa was perfect for my short stay in Santorini. It is located just behind the bus station (2 min walk), which is incredibly convenient (and the reason I booked the hotel). The bus is easy to catch to and from the airport and Oia, for only €1.60 cash (no card). The building was hard to find, as it is in a side street, but I called the property manager when I arrived and he met me and showed me the way. After delayed/missed flights, he was very accommodating, ensuring he met my check in time when I finally arrived at 10pm. The main street was still buzzing, and I felt safe, as an alert single female, going to get dinner when I arrived. The building is a bit dated, but it’s fine if you’re not fussy. Bed and pillows were very comfortable. Air conditioning was a great to get relief from the Santorini heat. Would definitely stay here again.

One night

A really convenient stop for my first night in Santorini right by the bus stop! Which means no hills and no awkward cobbled streets to navigate.
Reception staff super friendly and welcoming.

Perfect stay

Beautiful View of the Agean Sea

Spectacular view of the New Port and the sea. Perfect for viewing the sunsets over the water with islands in the distance. Clean, fresh, airy, quiet, well maintained hotel apartment. Friendly service. Ten minute walk to SeaBus or public bus and a quick ride to the Old Port or downtown Mykonos. The hotel is on a hill. It is a bit of a climb up from the public bus or Sea Bus after spending the day in town. You can avoid the climb by taking a taxi back.

Easy to get everywhere

The place is clean and has very nice rooms. It is next to the taxis, 2 minutes from central bus station, has everything surrounding it and its a 3 minute walk to the caldera. I would say among the best situated little hotels in Fira if you do not wish to overpay for the view. Room was large , clean, comfortable beds, had a/c, hair dryer, tv, moneybox. Big shower area and wc. It also had a small veranda with table and chairs. I was very happy and I will be going back next time!

Expensive for what it is but this is Santorini

A very modest hotel ,clean, expensive for what it offers but close to the center of Fira although you have to climb stairs or a hill to go to the center of town.
The personnel is quite cooperative. The room offers you the basics nothing more but is very clean.
Unfortunately there is no view

great location, terrible room

Excellent location near the bus stop and not far from the counter. Rooms were clean.

Unfortunately, the rooms were unsatisfactory as they were jammed wall-to-wall with beds without room to walk around. Furthermore these beds were very uncomfortable, and the slats fell out of the bed causing the whole thing to collapse to the floor in the middle of the night on several occasions.

Definitely a great location

The mini-pool on the roof was alright. The cleaning lady came in almost everyday to clean our room, but we let her know when she didn't really need to. I'd call the cleaning a bit excess only because they would take all the towels too when in my opinion it's not really necessary. Wifi could have been better on a few days and maybe 2-3 times it went completely out. It's right next to a big parking lot, the bus station, and the best Gyro place in all of Santorini, trust me, we tried soooo many (we were there for 18 days), it's called \"Lucky's\" and it's literally the first spot you see when walking towards the Fira center from the hotel.

Awkward introduction

The hôtel lobby was closed when I got there and I had to go knock at a locals house to have her call the hotel manager that luckily she new. Not ideal for someone who would have been less invasive than myself.

The staff in the morning was however very lovely and present.

Close to the bus station but not noisy

A nice clean hotel. The staff were nice and helpful, although they did try to get us to pay even though we had already done it through wotif, but that was quickly sorted. You can see the sea from the roof, but it is only a short walk for a good view of either sie of the island. The proximity to Fira and the bus station means you are never far from anything.

SCAM! Reservations not honored! Bargain HARD if moved!

Upon arrival, Villa Roussa had no rooms and offered us a room at a significantly inferior hotel down the street (Hotel Santorini, I think, but half of the pics online don't match where we stayed). Hotel had no amenities, tiny beds, smelled strongly of tobacco, and erratic front desk hours. We're fairly price conscious and not that picky about the room quality, so in the end knocking the price from seventy-five to sixty a night for a 4 person room was OK (still not a great deal, but the location was good; we had to be firm and persistent and a man to get them to budge on price). It was a highly uncomfortable situation, a disappointing welcome to our vacation splurge and was the ONLY friction on our entire month long trip in Greece and Turkey... (Also, hands down the worst hotel we stayed in, though in planning we thought it would be the nicest.)

DEFINITELY would NOT stay again

Unless one was going to spend no time at all in the room, I would NOT recommend this place. The good things were that it was a convenient location, strong wifi, and a comfortable bad, but everything else was BAD. Here is a summary:

* air conditioner completely broken
* pool drained and I was not notified of that before booking
* tried 7 or more different times to find a staff member and no one was ever around
* one of those times there were people's luggage just sitting in there with no one around for a long time
* some of the towels were completely frayed at the ends
* many items in the room were broken (like a garbage bin) and weird random wires were sticking out of the walls
* shower head was broken
* no lighting in the bathtub area which was deeply recessed into the wall

Budget - ok if don't spend time there

When we arrived they asked us 3 times how many nights we were staying for, and put us in a room with 1 double bed, when I had booked a triple with SINGLE beds (there were 2 of us travelling, they only had a triple room left when I booked pretty last minute). We were told we'd stay in there one night, then be moved, however was no explanation why we were in a tiny box room. I asked as to why yet still no answer and the owner got pretty cranky, maybe the language barrier. Clearly our room was not available, and i was just told we were \"getting a very cheap rate\".
The next day we were moved to a room with a double bed and a single. This was ok, but, as i booked single beds so we didn't have issues with who was going to sleep in the double, this wasn't ideal.
We asked where the hot tub was, we were told on the roof, went up to see it was empty. Went back down to ask and they said \"yes. because there was bad weather before you came, so we emptied an cleaned it\". Such a shame when you look forward to having some water to get into of an evening......emptying this prior to the beginning of September was a real shame, prior to the end of the season.
Otherwise, air conditioning worked fine.

Personale molto simpatico, disponibile e cordiale. Ottima la posizione, appena un minuto dalla Caldera, dal parcheggio pubblico e dal terminal degli autobus.
La struttura è molto carina. Peccato che la nostra camera con l'ingresso indipendente, era situata al piano seminterrato. L'umidità presente ci ha costretti a tenere gli abiti in valigia. Sicuramente le camere dei piani superiori non avranno questo inconveniente! Avendo soggiornato solo 3 notti, non abbiamo ritenuto opportuno chiedere un cambio di stanza.

Hotel Ok em boa localização!

O hotel possui uma excelente localização, proximo à praça principal e ao sunset view. Também é localizado ao lado da estação de ônibus com acesso para todas as praias. Meu quarto não possuía janela e era ao lado da recepção, o que acabava sendo barulhento, mas como eu quase não fiquei no quarto, isso não foi um problema. O recepcionista foi sempre muito agradável e me ajudou com dicas de transportes, atrações e mapa da cidades. Obs: por favor limpem a piscina, ela é muuuito suja. De resto tudo Ok, eu gostei da minha estadia no vila roussa! :) mas se você procura belas do mar vistas, ele não é recomendado
