    The Check in process was fantastic, the staff covered what to do and see in all of the towns of Santorini, including great restaurant and bar recommendations. The hotel & Cafe is a stones throw from Firostefani Square making it very easy to organise transfers, and acts as a good pick up/ drop off location for optional activities. (There’s lots of free parking across the road from the square too if you choose to hire a car or ATV).

    Very enjoyable, there are very good eateries around the hotel

    The viewing gallery is just next to the room balcony. So for guest who are in rooms that does not have a view of the sea, they will be at the viewing gallery which makes it a bit uncomfortable if you are enjoying the sunset or morning church bells in your own balcony.

    The breakfast was very good with 5 different sets to choose from. Hotel guest are given premium front seats providing an unblocked view of the beautiful Santini sea and the rolling hills. The location is just at the car park at the peak of the hill so no need to drag your luggage up the hilly steps (as is the case for most other hotels)

    A bit noisy from the restaurants nearby playing music till early hours of the morning.

    The location is great. The hotel overlooks the volcano and the cliffs with white houses and churches..There is a bus stop into Fira 1 minute walk from there. Breakfast was very nice with a lot of options. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Good selection of shops and cafes nearby. We had a good time in the hotel Galini.

    There was nothing we didn’t like, we just missed our king sized bed on the first 3 nights, that’s all, but we understood they were fully booked and super busy.

    Lovely clean and very comfortable room, our first room had a huge bed, so so nice (we upgraded to get a view, so had to change rooms on the last night to keep the view, we had a gorgeous view in both rooms!) Everything was lovely and modern but still in keeping of the gorgeous Santorini vibe. We had everything we needed, fridge, air con, hair dryer etc

    The ONLY improvement would be the beds/pillows. They were ultra firm and not comfortable for sleeping.

    From the minute we checked in, the staff treated us like VIPs! The villa was spectacular…spacious, immaculate, light and airy. Million dollar view of the sunset. Hot tub large enough to accommodate at least 4 adults. AMAZING breakfast delivered to our villa every morning. The most friendly and helpful staff we’ve ever encountered in our travels.

    Our family of four (with two teenage boys) stayed in one of the villas for two glorious nights! Everything about it exceeded our expectations. The breakfast on the private balcony was something we’ll never forget. Well worth the splurge for us!

    - The shower does not have a door on it. I'm not sure why but, this makes it so every time you shower, you get water ALL over the floor. - There were several days I was here that the church bells would go off at 7 a.m. for a good 5 minutes (I believe this might have been due to some religuous holidays...I'm not sure) and while this isn't the hotel's fault, it is something to consider when staying this close to the church if a 7 a.m. wake-up call isn't your thing. - A hot tub was mentioned as an amenity but there was not a hot tub there.

    - You can't beat the location. Right outside my hotel there was an incredible view of the ocean and the sunsets were incredible. - The staff is so friendly (especially Julia who helped me with anything I asked) - The complimentary breakfast was super tasty and the staff at the cafe were very friendly.

    Room was “shoe box” size- Absolutely too small for the amount charged. I could not get out of bed without climbing over my spouse. There was no one to help carry bags up and down two flights of steep stairs and receptionist made no attempt to find anyone who could help. Proprietor was insistent on obtaining our passports and birthdate information, address in the US etc.. in addition to all credit card information, including credit card security code. I felt that my identifying information was at risk of theft. Proprietor was not to be found but answered email about passport information requirement claiming it was a Greek law requirement, which it is not. Proprietor also stated on email that my information was going to be destroyed upon my departure but receptionist was aloof and not interested in following up. I have travelled to Greece more than 30 times and this was the worst experience ever.

    Breakfast was fresh and good quality. One staff person was very professional and friendly .

    Originally, we received a claustrophobic room (no window into the open) with a HUGE bathroom. We asked for and got a room with a splendid caldera view but the room was microscopic, especially the bed. Breakfast was included but replacing filter coffees by capucinos set us back EUR 11 - are you guys serious?

    Super view
