Santorini Mesotopos

We arrived earlier in the day & asked if we could do early check in. We were told that the room we have booked isn’t available early, so we could upgrade to another room & get early check in option. We agreed. When we checked in the room didn’t look like any upgrade, as it was pretty basic. Also, if these are how most of the rooms are, they aren’t great. The room had a stair to go ‘up’ where a tiny bed was places, and the ceiling was so low that even a 5-foot height tiny person like me would bump her head. The stairs aren’t too safe, so if you have to walk down in the middle of the night to use the bathroom below the bed area, you better be fully awake & cautious if your steps. Shower didn’t work properly with hot/cold water. I couldn’t wash my hair, had to quickly get out of the shower. I would have preferred, if they just told us there was an extra charge for early check in. In case I’m wrong, and this room was indeed an ‘upgrade’ then I don’t know what the basic room will be. Can’t imagine what would be even lesser. Maybe no window / balcony. The swimming pool was closed, probably because it was still cold when we went. The property looks nice though, it’s just 10 mins taxi ride from the city square. The rooms have a balcony & peaceful view as there aren’t too many buildings around. It’s quite & clean. Just that the rooms are too basic & the tiny bed in tiny space was uncomfortable for two people to sleep in. It was claustrophobic for me. Couldn’t sleep well, couldn’t bathe well. But I did enjoy sitting in the balcony & sipping my tea in peace.

We had a very relaxing and memorable stay at Santorini Mesotopos. The property has a peaceful atmosphere and offers a beautiful view of Fira. The manager was incredibly friendly and helpful — she assisted us with logistics, offered thoughtful advice for planning our daily activities, and genuinely cared about making our trip enjoyable. After we left, we realized we had forgotten some belongings at the property. She went out of her way to help us by arranging for a courier to send them to Athens, which we truly appreciated. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Santorini. Just keep in mind that renting a car directly from the airport can be more practical — taxi fares are quite high (e.g., €30 from the airport to the hotel), while a full-day car rental can be as low as €50–€80.

A beautiful oasis in Santorini! Lovely landscaping and impressive views of the sea. Comfortable and fun lounge furniture by refreshing pool & jacuzzi. Clean rooms. Balconies are so worth it to enjoy breathtaking views. We watched an unforgettable sunrise. Delicious breakfast offered at a reasonable price to complete your stay.
