We've just arrived home from our week at the Melina Hotel. It's a lovely family run hotel in a great location. It's a very short walk to the bus station and the centre of Fira. The staff could not be more helpful and helped with ideas of things to do and places to eat. A lovely breakfast is provided. There is a lovely pool with sun loungers and umbrellas. The rooms are a good size with small fridge and the shower room has space for toiletries. The only slight downside is that we did find it a little noisy being at the front with busy road but closing the shutters did help. Bed is a little too hard for us but we would definitely go back.

Perfect Stay Close to Fira’s Highlights

This hotel was the perfect base for our time in Santorini. The pool was a great spot to relax and beat the crowds, and the location couldn’t have been more convenient—just a few minutes’ walk from the bus station and the famous sunset viewpoints in Fira.

Our room was cool, comfortable, and had a lovely balcony with views overlooking the east side of the island, which was a peaceful contrast to the busy caldera side. Breakfast was fresh and satisfying each morning, and the staff were always friendly and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed for a great stay.

Highly recommend for anyone wanting comfort, convenience, and a welcoming atmosphere while staying in Fira.

This is a very beautiful hotel right next to all amenities like Bus station in Fira and the Fira shopping square,both are just 5 and 10 minute walk respectively.
Melina is an extraordinary host who hoes over and beyond to look after all the guests.
I would certainly recommended for a nice family stay close to Fira centre square.The pool is also well maintained.

Upon check in, Melina went over the map of the nearby town of Fira with us. She was incredibly helpful and offered excursions and restaurant suggestions that we did and loved during our stay. The location of the hotel is great, about a 5-10 min walk to Fira and away from most of the noise from the crowds. Our onlh two concerns were that we were on our honeymoon but received a room with two twin beds instead of a double. There was a pull out couch in the room that we slept on instead. Also, to keep things in the fridge, we needed electricity, but your key powered the electricity in the room. So if you left your room, the fridge stopped keeping cold. Aside from those two items, the pool was lovely, the sunrises were picturesque and the breakfast was delicious!

The breakfast was a nice touch with excellent food choices (especially the salad :)). We would definitely return to Melina's and we highly recommend this hotel to everyone.

Beautiful grounds lots of flowers. A little back from the caldera but that is why it’s cheaper and quieter. Rooms were small, basic but clean. Only amenity is soap. You get one towel each and one pillow. Beds were not overly comfortable. Both our rooms had a nice balcony Upon arriving we were given a map of the area and good information. Very easy to get to the caldera, bus transfer, restaurants and shopping. Biggest downside was in one of our rooms the toilet was leaking on each flush. This was reported and never addressed. Stepping over urine on the floor is not great. Breakfast was sufficient.

Very pretty, modern little hotel in Fira. The manager was very helpful and knowledgeable about what to do and see in Santorini, and arranged excursions for us. The hotel is also very close to the bus station and central Fira, which made geting around Santorini without a car very easy. A great option for someone wanting to visit Santorini for the first time and avoid a car rental.

We stayed three nights at the Melina Hotel and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The hotel was clean and relatively comfortable. Our room was near the pool, which was very nice. Breakfast was very good, with a nice variety each day. The best part was the staff! The owner was extremely helpful with providing directions to various must-see spots and provided a great map. The hotel is a five-minute walk from the town and tour buses, which was quite convenient. We were lucky to find this hotel and plan to stay there again, should we make it to Santorini again.

Budget hotel

Hotel is in a great location, just 5 mins to the Centre and the bus terminal.

Staff were helpful, giving us a great rundown of the area and helping to carry our suitcases up the 2 flights of stairs.

Hotel is great if you're on a budget and not planning on spending too much time in the room. The shower is small, with a shower curtain that sticks to you while showering! The bed was a little hard and the pillows too soft for our liking.

Breakfast consisted of a toasted ham & cheese sandwich, chocolate croissant, toast, jams, yogurt and boiled egg.

Basic Hotel

We stayed here for 4 nights and it was a very basic hotel so ok if you do not plan to spend much time there. Pros: The location was in a quiet area and only 5mins walk to Fira. Room was quiet and strong air conditioning. Breakfast was nice however there was no variety (mostly bread) and the same each morning.
Cons: The room was basic and there were some issues as our door and we got locked out one evening.The reception was closed so we had to give the owners an emergency call. They came immediately however it took an hour to fix and there was no apology for the hassle caused for us. There was also no wifi in our room.

Also, the transfer from airport cost is incorrect on the website. It was 10 euros each for single trip and not 6 euros round trip.

I would not recommend hiring an ATV through the hotel. For the price we paid, we got a really poor quality/old one where one side mirror was missing and the storage container did not lock.

Helt enkelt hotel midt i byen

Helt ok hotell, innsjekkingen var litt merkelig da mannen i resepsjonen snakket på gresk med taxisjåføren i stedet for å si hei til oss.
Vi fant ut at det var fordi han hadde brukket 2 ribbein å behøvde taxisjåførens hjelp til å bære koffertene våre. Han kunne jo bare sagt det til oss, så hadde vi bært selv uten problem . I stedet ble det en litt klein tur til rommet der jeg forsøkte å overbevise resepsjonisten at jeg kunne bære selv, men han ville ikke gi seg🙈
Sengene er harde, og rommet helt enkelt.
Bærer preg av 2 stjerner.
Bassenget er fint og ett deilig avbrekk fra den super trafikkerte veien rett utenfor.
Om Kvelden/natten er støyen fra partygata merkbar, spesielt om det blåser litt.
Helt ok for 2 netter og midt i byen , noe som gjør det enkelt å ta seg rundt til fots.
