El lugar muy lindo, aunque no era como esperaba según lo que vi en las fotos. El baño tenía mal olor todo el tiempo y la ducha era pequeña y se mojaba todo al baño cada vez que nos duchábamos. Podría mejorar. El desayuno bastante bueno 7/10. La ubicación excelente, tiene cochera.

We've just arrived home from our week at the Melina Hotel. It's a lovely family run hotel in a great location. It's a very short walk to the bus station and the centre of Fira. The staff could not be more helpful and helped with ideas of things to do and places to eat. A lovely breakfast is provided. There is a lovely pool with sun loungers and umbrellas. The rooms are a good size with small fridge and the shower room has space for toiletries. The only slight downside is that we did find it a little noisy being at the front with busy road but closing the shutters did help. Bed is a little too hard for us but we would definitely go back.

Perfect Stay Close to Fira’s Highlights

This hotel was the perfect base for our time in Santorini. The pool was a great spot to relax and beat the crowds, and the location couldn’t have been more convenient—just a few minutes’ walk from the bus station and the famous sunset viewpoints in Fira. Our room was cool, comfortable, and had a lovely balcony with views overlooking the east side of the island, which was a peaceful contrast to the busy caldera side. Breakfast was fresh and satisfying each morning, and the staff were always friendly and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. Highly recommend for anyone wanting comfort, convenience, and a welcoming atmosphere while staying in Fira.

This is a very beautiful hotel right next to all amenities like Bus station in Fira and the Fira shopping square,both are just 5 and 10 minute walk respectively. Melina is an extraordinary host who hoes over and beyond to look after all the guests. I would certainly recommended for a nice family stay close to Fira centre square.The pool is also well maintained.
