The rooms, suites, food, service, and ambience were all fantastic. The services provided by the professional management and staff are the main reasons that we keep coming back. The old world elegance is a rare thing, and we value their focus to make sure that everything about the lodging experience is excellent. I highly recomend this hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The view was amazing. While I enjoyed the music from nearby restaurants I could see it not being to other people’s liking or even disruptive if you go to bed early. The condition of the room was decent, but the TV didn’t function, and the WiFi was spotty. Also, be aware that the shower water takes several minutes to warmup.
It was one of the best stay for me. The room is clean, big comfortable and quiet, plus we had a little pool on our balcony just for us. The view from the restaurant is to die for. It is literally breathtaking spot and we just never got tired of having an amazing breakfast there five mornings in a row! The staff are very nice, friendly and competent. You can ask them any questions they are always willing to help. Definitely recommended

Reasonably priced stay for Santorini however we didn’t have the best stay
- the location wasn’t as close to Fira as anticipated so we’d have to take a bus to get to the larger terminal of buses. However some things were walking distance like good restaurants
- the service wasn’t great, the front desk man wasn’t helpful with recommendations at all
- the room wasn’t super comfy
- the toilet had a horrible smell on the second day like something in the plumbing was backing up
- the area overall didn’t have a great view and the pool wasn’t as noice as the pictures
- the one good thing was the restaurant attached had a 5 star breakfast with an amazing view!
We loved staying at La Maltese. We had a room on the Caldera side with a view that was breathtaking. Our room had private terraces and a private pool. We loved it there and ended up spending a lot of time in our room which felt more like a townhouse. For what we say, staying on the other side of the property was probably a very different experience. If we were to go back we would book exactly the same room. Alex the property concierge was wonderful!
The rooftop wading pool was a real highlight. It’s not big enough for swimming, but perfect for a quick dip between lunch and drinks. Tables were free to use, while loungers (€20 minimum spend for two with an umbrella) and cabanas (€40, which easily covered lunch and a couple of drinks) were well worth it. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, breakfast had plenty of variety, and the location was excellent — just a 10-minute walk to the metro, with a direct line to the airport and easy access to the Acropolis and Ermou Street, only three stops (about 10 minutes) away.
We have a great time here, and enjoyed the breakfast as well as the room and pool. The staff were very helpful, it felt like nothing was too much to ask.
The place is clean, quiet, and well-kept. Alex is very nice and helpful, and the staff are kind too. The location is decent – there’s a bus running about every 30 minutes in the summer that takes you to Fira, and from there you can go anywhere on the island.
We didn’t have a sea view (not sure if some rooms do), but if you can, I recommend booking one – it would make the stay even more special, especially for the sunset.
A couple of small drawbacks: you’ll need some luck to get a steam iron, so it would be better if each room had its own. Also, I’d suggest the hotel refills water bottles daily after room service – it’s inexpensive, and for a 5-day stay it would only cost around €10 total (even less if bought in bulk).
Overall, a pleasant stay with friendly staff and a quiet atmosphere – just a few small improvements could make it perfect.
We stayed here after getting a last minute deal and were so impressed with everything. Our room was upgraded, everything was modern, clean and new. The staff were friendly and super helpful. The location meant we were away from the crowds of Fira but close enough that we walked everywhere.
We booked 2 rooms for 6 people. My husband and I, plus our 4 children. This was clear in our booking details. There were no beds set up for 2 of our children. No pillows, sheets or blankets. They had to sleep with towels we brought from our cruise ship. When we arrived after dinner, there was no one to be found at the hotel. No one answered the phones or responded to our urgent messages. Absolutely unacceptable.
Location is just perfect and the service was topnotch. The staff made us feel so special and well taken care of. The views from the restaurant is to die for, no wonder why a lot of tourists in the island actually go out of their way to visit the area and the bar for the sunset. Staying here gave
us the full Santorini fantasy. Highly recommended.
The view and the property is amazing. Manager gave us exceptional service. He made sure we had a room with a great view and assisted us with our plans. The staff are always there for anything you need and they are very friendly. We enjoyed our stay at this hotel.
One of the best properties we have stayed not just in this trip but ever, and we have been travelling for many years. Brilliant location, amazing sunset, great facilities and amenities. Staff starting with the manager Costa and everyone that works there were simply brilliant! Lots of food options and things to see nearby. Pool and Buddha bar were terrific and so was the American/continental breakfast. We are so glad we decided to stay here rather that the busy terrible mess that is Oia. Highly recommend staying here, can’t wait to come back!
