Astro Palace Hotel & Spa

My husband and I stayed at this hotel with our 3-month-old baby for 2 nights — and immediately wished we had booked a longer stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We've travelled a lot around the world, but the reception team here truly stood out as the most friendly, helpful, and accommodating we've ever encountered. They made travelling with a young baby remarkably easy and we were so grateful. We booked a Senior Suite with an outdoor terrace and private jacuzzi — and it was absolutely perfect. The space was beautiful, and we loved having the jacuzzi to relax in. The pool area was peaceful with comfortable sun loungers, and breakfast each morning was a lovely experience, made even better by the attentive and kind staff. We also really appreciated the location — just an 8-minute uphill walk to the centre of Fira. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Fira.

This was our third stay at Astro Palace, and again we had a wonderful time. The experience started before we left home, with Katerina reaching out to enquire about our timings and transportation. A luxurious Benz taxi and lovely driver took us to the hotel, where we received a warm welcome! It was really great to see everyone again (when they came on shift) and to see new friendly faces. Astro Palace is particularly clean, modern, luxurious and professional. The location, in the Fira, is perfect: 10 mins casual walk from a beautiful sunset and, if you're not renting a car or using taxis, 10 mins walk from the buses to Oia, etc. But what makes Astro Palace special is its people. They are very warm and genuinely invested in guests having a good time in Santorini. The other guests we spent time with expressed the same sentiment. In our case, as we've explored the island many times over the years, this time they recommended more rustic, less touristy places, essentially where they enjoy eating in 2025. And, of course, they follow up when we return to get our feedback. Coming back to reception and hanging out by the bar, catching up, was one of many highlights. A massive thank you to Hope, Katerina, Georgia, Ahmed, Dimitri and the entire Astro Palace family for your hospitality, authenticity and good humour 🙏

Didn’t eat there

The room and hotel were super clean. The staff was so helpful and friendly. The limo driver picked me up from the airport with my name on a board, that was cool. They offered to help with scheduling tours, dinners, taxi rides. The breakfast was a beautiful spread of meat, cheese, pastries, eggs, juice, cereal. Lots of options. And a breakfast bag for the early airport flight. I didn’t use the spa service, but I wish I had. I’m adventurous and did a lot of public bus, hikes, runs and even mountain biking. I could have used a spa day. The pool was beautiful with a lovely view of the sea. The jacuzzi on the patio was a great feature, and great for photos- however it did smell of plastic from the plastic cover. Not sure a way around that, perhaps a rubber cover would do the trick.
