A little gem of a hotel close to Thira

A little gem of a hotel. Close to central Thira around 5 minutes from the central bus station but in a surprisingly quiet location. Lovely grounds. Spacious rooms. Immaculately clean. The pool is small but adequate. We will definitely stay again.

everything we needed.

We loved our stay here at Anessis while we were in Santorini. They offered taxi service for a fee (we usually take buses but the timing wouldn't work out for our flight arrival time). They were dependable and had it scheduled for us and the owner was there to meet us! The couple who own it are lovely and front desk girl speaks English to assist with other stuff. Clean, modern bathroom. It was walking distance to the \"city center\" of Fira and super close to the bus station if you plan on using that. Great price for location and quality of hotel!
We are sensitive to cars driving by and you could hear the cars but with ear plugs, no problem. Other people may not even hear the cars passing by!

Overall this place was a lack luster. There were some communication issues and the front desk thought we were leaving at 4am. When we corrected them the next day, they seemed mad at us. Not sure what the big deal was, as we were staying awhile. It wasn't far from town, so that was good. But we were charged 7 euros each for a very meager breakfast and that was disappointing.

Decent accommodations for the price. One of the staff Dimitris seems to lurk around and make you feel a little uncomfortable.

Nice and close to the main strip of everything

Good experience overall. Evi was very helpful with what to do and recommendations. The owners couple (assuming) did not speak much English but were very pleasant.

The only issue we found (not the hotels fault) some customers which were staying at the same hotel specially during our last 2 nights did not consider that noise can travel fast and therefore were not considerate of others. This took place specially when it was closer to 2AM in the morning.
This was the only issue however, as we were checking out we did not even had a chance to report it to the owners of the hotel. So, we are not blaming the hotel.

Thank you,

Nice place!

This hotel was really nice. Our room was nice and big enough and we had a balcony with a great view. The location was very good, about a 5 minute walk to one of the main streets where there is a lot of restaurants and places to rent ATVs or vespas to explore the island with. We requested a late check in which they said would not be an issue.. but when we got to the hotel there was no one at the front desk, we called the number on the website and someone was there within minutes to check us in. Afterwards he gave us a ride to the main street and answered any questions we had about the island and it's attractions. Overall we were very happy with this hotel.

Should be better value around there

Checkin was pretty bad. There's nothing indicating where the reception was (in the basement), no one spoke any english so they put me on the phone with someone who apparently didn't speak it that well either. We got put in a room, then just after unpacking we got told it was the wrong room and we had to grab all our stuff again and got moved to a different one.

Breakfast was sub par (for example the hot water for tea was barely warm), room wasn't all that clean (long black hairs on the floor), bathroom was supposed to have a tub but didn't and the shower didn't have a place to hang the hose or a curtain that reached the floor so was essentially just a wet bath like on the ferries.

Also when we checked out we were told we couldn't leave our luggage as the \"reception\" was closed all day so we had to find someone at the bus station we could pay to keep it.

Location was decent though - easy walk to the bus stop and close enough to fira to walk in, with nice views of the non-caldera side of the island.

Overall, it was adequate, but given we felt we splurged a little to get a slightly nicer place then we'd had on other islands, we were quite disappointed. Twice what we'd paid elsewhere, half the value.

Joli hôtel tenu par un couple gentil et réactif.
Les chambres donnant sur l’arrière sont assez calmes et permettent d’assister (pour les lève-tôt) au lever du soleil.
L’hôtel est situé à 10/15 minutes (tout en montée !) du centre de Fira, proche de la station principale des bus desservant les principaux points de l’île.
Attention néanmoins : il faut traverser des routes très passantes (celle longeant l’hôtel offre peu de visibilité).
La piscine bien qu’assez petite est bien agréable pour se rafraîchir et les transats sont confortables.
La nuit, les échos d’une boîte de nuit se font un peu entendre même dans les chambres à l’arrière, j’imagine que les chambres donnant sur la route sont d’autant plus exposées au bruit.
Petit bémol: une gestion un peu curieuse et parcimonieuse des produits de toilette. Sur les 3 petites bouteilles de gel douche/shampooing présentes à mon arrivée (pour 4 nuitées), une avait été retirée par la femme de chambre dès le lendemain (pourquoi ??) Bien que le stock ait été épuisé le 3ème jour, il m’a fallu aller réclamer un réassort. J’ajoute que la présence d’un après-shampooing serait appréciable.
Un transfert pour l’aéroport est proposé pour 25€/pers (tarif dégressif), pratique si l’on veut s’épargner de porter ses valises jusqu’au bus, mais cher compte tenu du fait que le trajet dure 10mn tout au plus.
Je n’ai pas pris le petit déjeuner et ne peux donc commenter cette prestation.
Un séjour agréable dans l’ensemble. À recommander

Positive experience with exceptional value for money.
PRO:
- Hosts: exceptionally hospitable, cute, and kind. They spoiled us with welcome drinks, candy, and even a bottle of local wine upon our departure.
-Rooms: recently renovated, minimal and modern, full equipped with a great terrace table and Chairs. Great views around.
- Location: 5 minutes walk from the balconies of Thira (reached by a slight climb).
- Hotel: simple, but not spartan. Clean. Equipped with amenities (pool, towels, air conditioning, hair dryer, safe, etc.).

Points of improvement:
-LOUD AC.Unfortunately, the hotel is located near a fairly busy street, so sleeping with open windows can be ANNOYING. On the other hand, the windows are very well insulated and brand new. If you close the windows noise from the outside disappeares but better not to use AC cause it is noisy too. We would suggest to fix this issue.
- BED: A point on which the hotel can definitely improve is the comfort of the bed: mattress is 'too rigid. A topper would be a great asset to make things better.

Despite this Anessis is a structure that I would recommend.
Owners are lovely and the place is quite good overall. We would visit. Again for sure.
