Location is very convenient, we can walk to stores (supermarket, car rental, souvenirs shops), restaurants or the beach in just few minutes in this flat part of the island. The service was great, beyond our expectations: Jean Pierre was able to give us tips and awesome recommendations only locals know about. The breakfast was very yummy (large choice) and the bar right by the pool was very convenient. Will definitely come back!

So I had to stay there and check out at 11 but couldn’t check in at Matina Hotel until 1:00. It was a lot of moving for a short stay. If they didn’t have the room than they shouldn’t of booked me a room for 2 nights

Charming characterful and just brilliant

Such a beautiful hotel, warmest of welcomes from all staff. Truly great spirit and atmosphere. All guests had smiles on their faces. That says a lot. That's because they were being treated with respect and love.
It's a charming style, more traditional and home-like. Pool is great.

Ok.... so it's not the high brow boutique modern style as some of its neighbours. etc.. But it's a little gem, a retreat and peaceful sanctuary. I looked at booking hotels on the beach boardwalk, but thank my lucky stars I didn't, as it was so so busy, all day and all night. It was just perfect to walk 5 minutes into the atmosphere of the beach and the hotspots of Kamari, but then have the option to retreat back to Hotel Matina and review our perfect day. FYI the boutique hotels aren't worth the extra money.

Some recommendations for people visiting Kamari for first time. Healthy choices at Navy's Restaurant. Great fresh healthy juices at Juice Me. Our fave spot was \"Mesogaia\". It's a wine bar with superb tapas - so friendly & enthusiastic about their wine/food, it's origins & flavours. Brill.

Oia - the most romantic part. Trust me... better to stay in Kamari & travel over to visit. VERY BUSY there. My advice, enjoy the sunset but STAY after all the bus/boat tourists leave. It's probably one of the most romantic things you can do. Easy to get taxi back also, took 30 mins.

Santorini is Magical and Hoel Matina had a big part in our enjoyment.

You wont regret it booking. Cheers.

Lovely boutique hotel

We had heard lots of wonderful stories about Santorini and it's spectacular beauty and we weren't disappointed. We stayed for 12 nights and had a brilliant holiday. Hotel Matina is located in Kamari and very central to shops, restaurants and tavernas. There's lots to see and do and the hotel is situated at the bottom of a steep hill with a path leading to the the ancient ruins of Thiera.

I totally recommence staying at Matina when in Santorni because you are just a bus ride away from Fira and Oia but get to enjoy the beauty of the beach town of Kamari. The rooms are really affordable too and outs have the prettiest view.

Basic hotel, over-priced and dangerous road

The main reason for regretting staying at this hotel is that it is situated on the main road running through the Kamari resort. This is a narrow winding road which carries very heavy traffic [coaches, minibuses, cars, motor bikes, quad bikes] and there is no pavement for much of the walk from the hotel to the seafront - so every time you walk to the seafront you are exposed to a very real risk of being run over by traffic.

Otherwise the hotel room was just about acceptable. The bed was OK. The general decorative effect was very simple - it looked like quite a few years since the hotel was decorated. The hotel room opened onto a little garden, which was quiet. There was very little noise at night - a barking dog one morning. The air conditioning kept the room cool - although it was quite noisy.

I think the general price level in Kamari is high - which reflects the high prestige of Santorini as a destination. This reflects itself in a very high price compared to some other Mediterranean resorts which are arguably much nicer. I would never go back to Santorini - the main sights [Akrotiri, Fira with its two good museums, Oia] can be seen in 48 hours. Flights to Santorini are also very expensive in high season. If you must go - go at the start or the end of the season and go for 48 hours and then get a ferry to somewhere nicer, like Naxos..

Wonderful Hotel

We stayed in the Matina Hotel for 8 nights, it really was a joyful experience which the delightful friendly staff worked tirelessly to provide.
The rooms are a decent size with air con. and are cleaned daily to a high standard. The pool area was never overcrowded and the pool bar had a wide selection of drinks and food.
The owner of the hotel picked us up from the airport and he offered us trips to local sights and resturants just about every day at very reasonable prices.
There is a wide selection of resturants and bars literally around the corner and the beach is less than 10 minutes walk away.
There was apparently a financial crisis in Greece at the time...We saw no evidence of a crisis there at all.
I would highly recommend the Hotel Matina to anyone wishing to visit the beautiful island of Santorini.

Hidden Gem in Kamara Beach

What a nice find! From the moment we checked in, the entire staff was very pleasant & more than willing to help or offer suggestions. It was especially nice of them to hold our luggage there after we checked out, since our ferry wasn't til later in the evening. The hotel is on the smaller side, and that's what gives it its charm. The hotel is a short walk from the beach & Boardwalk area, which keeps it quiet at night. The hotel offers a nice, relaxing pool area with a nice little bar to have a drink or a meal. The breakfast in the morning is very nice also. All in all, I would have no problem recommending this hotel to anybody. I am very glad to have stayed here, and would definitely do it again!

Hotel Matina is situated in an ideal location; a short walk to the beachfront with all the restaurants and facilities, but quiet too. The staff were lovely and helpful and the room was comfortable. The only issues were that the range at breakfast was a little limited. Some of the bread tasted a little stale, there was no option for tea/hot water, cold water wasn't available everyday and hot options were just served up on a cold plate (a few fried eggs and some mini frankfurters). Also the rooms could do with a waste bin in addition to the one in the bathroom.
