Stayed 10 nights, there’s a free shuttle bus into Fira 5 times a day which is awesome. The staff are extremely friendly and are always there to help. Really enjoyed our stay

10/10 Exceptional

The staff at Porto Castello was excellent and very friendly and helpful. It’s a small hotel but was clean and provided everything we needed. The free shuttle service to and from Fira was very convenient. I would definitely stay here again. If quaint cozy and comfortable is what you’re looking for this is it… very budget friendly as well!!

4/10 Fair

Stayed here overnight during a layover. Staff was super friendly and nice. Shuttle to ferry port/airport is very convenient. Unfortunately, our room reeked of cigarette smoke which I found to be overwhelming.
Kurt, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Calm & tranquil hotel.

Calm & tranquil hotel with a pool, and one minute walk to the sea. Quiet & peaceful, away from all the madness. There's a free shuttle service to/from Fira every three hours. There are various breakfasts served untill 12pm. You can also order from a take away menu for lunch and dinner. Cindy and George are lovely. The only negative for me was smoking is allowed in the rooms..

well didn't make it to the island as we had to fly back home due to illness and no one had called us to find out why

Ótimo atendimento. O maior diferencial do hotel é o transfer gratuito, eles deixam mo ponto em Fira, da pra ir pro centrinho caminhando. As acomodações são simples, mas com otimo custo benefício.

İyi bir otel. Fira merkeze toplu ulaşım olmaması tek sorun. Bunun üstüne gelmek için ücretdiz sevis var. Ancak yaklaşık 3 saatte bir sefer var.

The room was nice and cold. I would definitely use this hotel again once i come back to santorini. Just luck of english speaking staff but very friendly. Love the free bus to fira center to hotel and vice versa.

8/10 Very good

The family who runs the hotel is welcoming and available 24 hours. The hotel provides a free shuttle to the bus transportation depot that takes you to the famous town of Oia to watch the sunset. The only concern is that you have to follow the hotel shuttle schedule that runs every three hours, requiring that you plan accordingly since it is a distance from Fira which is not walking distance.

Exceptional hospitality from the staff especially Cody, George, Demitra , two wonderful housekeepers ladies. Very friendly. You feel like you are among your own family. Special thanks to little princess Spostoli who gives a wonderful angelic vibe to the place. We want to come back soon
Michel, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The port is really small. No restaurant, nothing else than the beach and the pool. The place is not as nice as the island.
cyril, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Très bon hôtel, il est simple mais efficace. Un peu éloigné des villes avec de la vie mais l’hôtel fourni plusieurs navettes gratuites par jour (de l’hôtel vers Fira et de Fira vers l’hôtel) Il est également possible de se faire amener dans le centre en dehors des horaires de navettes moyennant un coût supplémentaire. L’hôtel propose aussi de nombreux services : location de moyens de transports, excursions, taxi…. Il y a une jolie plage juste en bas et un super resto pour les adeptes de la cuisine de la mer. La piscine est très bien aussi. Je conseille cet hôtel pour ce qui veulent être plus au calme en fin de journée sans l’agitation de la foule.
Yohan, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Good but not very accessible

This hotel is good for people who are looking for a place to relax onsite and not do much sightseeing. The room was great but the hotel needs some upgrades. The reception area is gloomy. This hotel is not accessible by public transit but there is a free shuttle service that takes you from the hotel to Fira 4 or 5 times a day. Close to a beach.
