Astro Palace Hotel & Spa

The hotel is a quick 5 minute walk into Fira. On the walk into town you will pass the bus terminal/parking lot. Very convenient for a trip to or from Oia. The hotel staff was very warm and accommodating. Since I was arriving to the hotel in late evening, they assisted in arranging for airport pick up—30 Euros from the airport. They also arranged for my transportation to the port for the ferry. The room was spacious and very clean. The pool area is beautiful with views of the sea. The buffet breakfast was varied and plentiful. I took the caldera walk from Fira to Oia. Wear good shoes as parts of the walk are dicey. I would suggest Santorini Dave’s YouTube video to gauge your expectations and be informed of landmarks. Tha highlight of my stay was the staff, especially Kleopatra and Ahmed. I was traveling solo and would highly recommend this hotel.

Great location, great on site restaurant, and amazing staff! Only negative items were the breakfast isn’t great but was appreciated, the WIFI wasn’t great, constantly cutting out, and our tv screen would go out intermittently but you could still hear audio then the screen would randomly come back on. Additionally, rooms are not sound proof. Our room was above the breakfast area and every morning we heard every chair scrap across the floor as if we were 5’ away. Lastly, the room desperately needs a dehumidifier, the moisture was insane where I hand washed some items and after leaving them out for the day they smelled horrible as if I left wet swim trunks in a bag for a week. There was more positive than negative overall about this establishment, however, the few items I mentioned above desperately need attention.

10/10 everyone was so nice ! Would recommend for solo travelers as well

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.
