Andromeda Villas & Suites

"Andromeda Villas is about a 7-minute walk from the bus stand, which was very convenient. The hotel even had printed bus schedules available at reception — a small but very helpful touch. We stayed in rooms 10 and 11, located at the end of the balcony area, which gave us a good amount of privacy. Room 10 is right below the staff rest area, so it did get a bit noisy during the day, but it wasn’t a major issue. The views over the caldera and the sunsets were absolutely stunning — truly one of the highlights of our stay. Since we visited in late October, it got quite chilly after 6 pm, so definitely bring some warm clothes if you plan to sit outside and enjoy the view. Be prepared for a few steps! There’s a lift connecting the reception, restaurant, and pool area, but some walking up and down stairs are unavoidable. Breakfast was a bit disappointing, with limited options — likely because the hotel was about to close on the 1st of Nov. We appreciate the late check out as our pick-up was at 12.45pm. The room itself was very comfortable, though the bathroom design could be improved. The shower glass partition is quite narrow, so water tends to splash onto the side of the toilet and bath mat. Overall, a beautiful property with unbeatable views and a relaxing atmosphere."

"We stayed here for our honeymoon and we wouldn’t return. The room isn’t clean and tired looking. The shower and coffee machine were both broken. We made the bad decision of paying to have breakfast included. Definitely don’t do this, the breakfast is extremely limited and not very nice. When asked if we could have a refund for the breakfast we’d paid for the next three days so we could get it elsewhere as we had requirements they couldn’t meet and I couldn’t have anything other than cereal as it wasn’t suitable for pregnant women. They refused to do this and were very unhelpful. With the response, what do you expect at a buffet breakfast. Poor customer service also."

"This hotel appears initially small from the roadside but it extends far down…500 plus steps down! Reception is at the bottom of the hotel and there are two lifts for parts of the journey. All credit to the man who runs up and down with the luggage. The home made lemonade was welcomed on arrival. The hotel appears split into sections with a newer and a more exclusive part. The top half appears older, more basic but traditional in appearance. The room was a good size with sink and fridge but the smell of drains from the bathroom was overpowering at times. We had to leave the light/extractor fan on all the time but to little avail. The sun loungers were comfortable, towels are provided but the pools were too cold to swim in. The view from the pool bar seating area was stunning and there was a good selection of food. Loved the club sandwich. It’s in a good location within easy walk of Fira and a more challenging walk to Oia but worth it. Lots of restaurants nearby, although you do pay for the views. The venue is clearly a popular choice for weddings with at least one per day if not more. This meant the hotel was full and there was no possibility of a room move or having it longer on the day of departure."
