Room was clean and spacious and we loved the pool! Super close to the city center as well! We did lose power for about 30 minutes one morning, but I looked it up and saw that it can be common. Also the walls are not very soundproof I could hear other people conversations in other rooms at times.

Hotel is modern , clean and close to Fira market square. Just walk up the hill and you are in the middle of all the restaurant, night club, shops, amazing sea views. Grab good shoes for cobble stone roads. Excursion bus picked me up right infront of the hotel. Only con is no one is at the front desk until 8am. Hotel taxi comes in at 8.30am so arrange for taxi ahead of time if you want to be picked up earlier. Hotel is actually better than all the Hilton affiliates properties around there. Picture on this platform don't do it justice. I stayed 2 days and later transferred to an SLH Hilton affiliate hotel, because I had hikton points to use...which was a big mistake, I should have stayed rest of my vacation at Golden star hotel.

We arrived at 10:30 p.m., and Manolis greeted us warmly with a beautiful Mercedes van and made sure we were comfortably settled into our room. The hotel is lovely and perfectly located, just a short walk from the center of Fira, with easy access to the market and many great restaurants. The owner is very friendly, and the two ladies who manage the rooms are extremely helpful, pleasant, and attentive. The tours arranged by the hotel were truly memorable and wonderful. Our seven‑day stay at the hotel was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The pool is a definite game‑changer—it’s very large, with plenty of areas for guests to sit back and relax, whether in the lobby, in front of the hotel, or around the pool area itself. There is also lots of parking space, which made everything even more convenient. Overall, a fantastic experience that we would highly recommend.
