Margarita Hotel

Our stay at Margarita was amazing and we would highly recommend staying here. Elisa was so attentive, friendly and helpful. She talked us through the island and helped us plan our stay. We booked a double room but were upgraded for free to the suite which was amazing! The price of this hotel was very reasonable for Fira. Breakfast was included in our stay and had a good selection of food. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and nicely decorated. The bed was clean and very comfortable, and we had a coffee table and chairs, and make up vanity section. There was space to hang up clothes, keep suitcases and a fridge. The bathroom was huge with a big bath tub and an overhead rainfall shower. There were plenty of soft white towels and complimentary toiletries. Our little terrace had a private jacuzzi but this was an additional cost. We didn’t use it as we were not in the room much as we were busy exploring, and it isn’t the most secluded. The little terrace area had a table and chairs but did not have anywhere to hang swimsuits which would’ve been useful. Our room was close to the street, but it was not particularly noisy, even at night, and did not disturb us but I would recommend earplugs if you’re very sensitive to noise. The location was great, it was away from the town centre, making it quiet and peaceful, but easily accessible on foot (5-10 mins walk). It is close to shops, restaurants and bakeries etc. and is central on the island, making it a great location to explore every corner of Santorini. The swimming pool and pool bar were amazing. The area was so clean and decorated well. It was never busy and you could always find a sun lounger. On our last day they let us stay by the pool all day even after we had checked out. We had lunch from the pool bar and the food was delicious and very reasonably priced. There was a wide variety of food and drinks to choose from. Elisa helped us get a good deal with our airport transfer. The hotel is 18 mins walk, slightly up hill, from the bus station which we did when we arrived, but to save time and carrying our bags again we opted for a taxi airport transfer when leaving. (For info, buses cost around €2 per person per journey and all routes start/end in Fira, making this hotel a great location if you plan to explore by bus. The airport transfer was €25 for 2 people). There was a small shower room near the pool which was useful, however, it did not have a toilet, the shower head was not attached the wall, there was no hook to hang your clothes or towel on, and no shelf to put your toiletries on. The nearest toilet was through reception, which was not close to the pool. It would be great if the hotel could renovate the shower room and upgrade the facilities as this would improve the experience by the pool massively. I’m hopeful that this is something they will do as they seem to be continually improving the hotel. Our only other issue was there was no bedroom bin, but this wasn’t a huge concern as the cleaners still took our rubbish that we left in a pile e.g. empty water bottles etc. However these issues didn’t impact the quality of stay and we would still highly recommend staying at this hotel! Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!

This place is fantastic and a great value. We ate breakfast there every morning and hung out at the pool when it was sunny out. Being able to order cocktails and lunch there was a nice treat. The staff was incredible thoughtful, friendly and helpful. Our friends stayed up the hill and barely left their hotel because the stairs getting to & from were so scary. We were able to get dropped off and picked up right out front, no scary stairs. It is super close to Fira and walking into town for a bus or to shop is easy. We stayed in a DOUBLE OR TWIN ROOM and the LISIANTHUS SUITE. The double room was perfectly fine. Small, but we were out and about exploring every day so we didn't need much space. The last few nights we were in the lisianthus suite and it was magic. The room was spacious and the private hot tub was a real treat. The food at the pool was amazing. We got the club sandwich for lunch two of the days and it was so delicious! 10/10 recommend. The breakfast included was also delightful. They had the traditional pastries and cereal, but they also had hard-boiled eggs, yogurt, deli meat and cheese for some protein. Being able to grab a decent cup of coffee was also a nice perk in the morning. Highly recommend due to the cleanliness, affordability, amazing staff and the location. Would 100% stay there again.

“Loved it!”

Both myself and partner would definitely return to this hotel! It must have been renovated since some of these pics have been posted as the pool area and the rooms look totally different now. Beds were comfy, the aircon worked and we had a lovely view from balcony. Breakfast was plentiful and very nice. Staff were all friendly and organised trips for us. They also organised pick up from ferry and then to airport. Fresh and clean! Will hopefully be back next year!

This was a lovely hotel on outskirts of Fira (10 minute walk). The hotel seemed to have been recently renovated, breakfast had a great selection, the staff was very friendly, lovely pool area and pool bar. The bedroom, bed and bathroom were all very small, not much room for luggage. Bed not very comfortable. Our room had a big balcony on the side (shame there was no sun loungers). We would stay here again if returning to Santorini.
