    Breakfast was just enough to get you started for the day. Very pleasurable to your pallet. Pool was welcoming after a really hot day, the location was excellent everything was within walking distance.

    Santa Elena Hotel is a perfect location in Santorini. The facilities are great, and the swimming pool is very clean, offering beautiful views from the balconies. Bearkfast has a variety of options. Sofia is very kind and explained all of santorini's attractions to us upon our arrival. I highly recommend this hotel.

    Spotlessly clean Lovely staff Amazing pool Great location. About 10 minutes walk to the beach/strip. Quiet area but 3 minutes to the outdoor cinema, 5 to a supermarket and bus stop. Great views Very tasty breakfast choices A small hotel so not crowded I'd definitely recommend the Santa Elena Hotel to anyone looking for a base in Kamari. Sophia and Yanis were great hosts and the hotel was perfect and at a reasonable price.

    On a personal level, we would have liked more varied hot food at breakfast or known what is available (small menu). I understand it's limited and is a personal preference. Other than that, breakfast was delicious

    We liked and enjoyed our week. The hosts are very accommodating and couldn't do enough for us to enjoy our stay. The room was cleaned every day, and fresh towels are always available.

    If you are very sensitive be aware the acomodation is near the auch irport and sometimes you might hear planes taking off or landing. With closed balcony doors it didn't disturb us during the night but it is hearable.

    Sophia is a gorcious host. Breakfast was very delicious and it is only a 10 minutes walk to the center of the Village. The Village itself is the best one at the whole Island and we have been to every corner of the island.

    Great time for a short stay. Big time lost due to bad car rental service from booking.com

    Nothing from the hotel. Only booking.com, easy to communicate with the hotel we booked. Impossible with car rental agent who did not received the flight number from booking.com nor any money from them. Plan delay is a good opportunity for booking.com to take your money not providing the service you paid for!

    Very helpful to order taxi when needed and good advises on what to do or not do on a daily basis. Great breakfast in a lovely garden. Special thanks to Mme Sophia. But plane was very late, car rented through booking.com was cancelled automatically after 12.00 and booking.com refused to reimburse! Never use their service for car rental.

    Mine and my girlfriends flight got cancelled back to the UK so I booked this hotel last minute as Kamari is close to the airport. We arrived around 11pm and was greeted by a very nice and friendly lady called Sophia, we explained our situation and she couldn't have been more hospitable and helpful to us, she even upgraded our room to a balcony one, let us stay past the usual check out time since our flight wasn't until 5pm ( at no extra cost) which I thought was incredibly kind of her. Apart from all this the facilities were really nice, clean and comfortable, very good value for your money :)

    The hotel's location is a bit far from the main area of Kamari, about 15 minutes walk. It's not awful but sometimes it's not that convenient if you'd like to buy water/coffe/any kind of small groceries. The breakfast is fine but limited.

    The place is beautiful and clean. Sophie, the manager of the hotel is very nice and helpful! Our trip was not as good as it was without her great recommendations and responsiveness. The pool was very nice.

    We loved everything - even the 10 minute stroll home from the numerous restaurants and bars in Kamari

    There is nothing to dislike about the property! Sophia and Yanis just made our holiday nothing was too much trouble! We were both so impressed on how they ran the hotel. Our room was on the ground floor - please don’t be out off by semi basement, it was bright and cool and absolutely spotless.

    When Sophia is your host it's very hard not to like something about the property.

    Clean rooms with balcony, clean pool with plenty of sunbeds around, nice breakfast... The hotel is located in the quiet area, but is very close to the beach, shops, restaurants and the bus station, from where you can easily reach to Oia or Fira. And finally the host and the staff - Sophia and girls! They are the best and do their best to make your stay comfortable. Helpful, caring... Sophia did everything and more than everything to help us fix our problems.
