“Take me back to Mykonos”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2010

people found this review helpful

This hotel very over-rated. Yesdon"t believe the brochure .Hotel is centrally located and a easy walk to bus terminal and Fira town. Across the road is a supermarket, which is convenient.
The rooms are very small and furniture and bedding very dated. Bathrooms need up dating and plumbing needs attention. No water pressure at all.
Reception staff blonde lady named Annie downright rude and very unhelpful certainly working in the wrong industry, hospitality obviously not in her vocabulary.
Breakfast O.K nothing to brag about, milk was off one morning when pointed out to staff no apology or fresh milk was forthcoming.
We were looking forward to our stay in Santorini but this hotel did not meet our expectations.

Dear guests,

We would like to thank you for your valuable feedback on our Hotel Services. We very much appreciate your comments, whether positive or negative and we have considered them carefully.
By registering your comments, you have helped us a lot to improve our services towards the better and to reach our ultimate goal which is to provide an ideal stay for you.
The main issues you recorded, as noted by us, are the incorrect operation of our hydraulic plumbing arrangements which produced potentially unpleasant smell as well as the elder construction of Daedalus Hotel.

Considering seriously these specific issues, we decided to resort immediately to a solution in order for these to be untied.
Moreover a total renovation of the Hotel both internally and externally was our decision as a consequence of the above.
Daedalus Hotel through its total modification can offer all the Facilities and Services for you to have the most relaxing and pleasant stay.
Under new appearance and by presenting new offers and packages especially for you, Daedalus Hotel welcomes you in the most beautiful Island of Greece, Santorini to live your dreamy holidays.

Kind Regards,
The Management

“old hotel but good location”

didn't like this hotel. was old and the closet smelled like bug spray. Air conditioner leaked water that would drain onto the porch in front of the entry to your room!! Needless to say when you get home late at night and forget you can easily fall! Bathroom toilet ran for about 15 minutes after every flush. Water pressure was non existent.
Location was good, 5 minute walk to bus terminal. 10 minute drive to airport.
Buffett breakfast was pretty good.

“A more-than-pleasant stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2008
1
person found this review helpful

We had a 2-night stay in the hotel. To our pleasant surprise, it is conveniently located in Fira Town and it's a short 3-minute walk to the food and shopping places in Fira. We like the clean and modern rooms and bathrooms and there are facilities to boil hot water and make beverages in the room. The swimming pool is nice and they serve simple breakfast by the pool. The service staff were helpful in confirming our transfers and making sure that we got onto the right bus. Good place to stay for a holiday in Santorini.

“Worst hotel I have ever tried”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 September 2008
13
people found this review helpful

The ONLY main plus is the good location of the hotel right beside to the main square, but the rooms are just really small and quite dirty with extremely hard beds.
Also, the toilet seat was broken and the toilet leaked water. The cleaning staff has seen at least the broken toilet seat but decided to not do anything about it. Also, the breakfast was quite disappointing… the bread isn't even fresh!
The staff, particularly the manager (one blonde young lady) was unfriendly, rude and unaccommodating. Even if she sees you and you smile on her, she will completely ignore as if she did not see anybody passed by. She is totally terrrible. She does not know the meaning of customer service, or simply the so called MANNERS. Overall, the hotel is somewhere between one and two stars but far away from the four star classification it advertises.

“Stay Away from This Mess.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 March 2008

people found this review helpful

GoAhead Tours booked us into this dump and I'd advise anyone not to stay there.

The room was tiny, furnished in junk, and it took forever for the hot water to trickle out of the shower head. Allow at least twice the time to shower in the morning.

This place is a dump despite the pretty photos you might see because the lobby and pool area are inviting. But when you enter your room, you'll wish you'd stayed elsewhere.

  • Liked — Checking out.
  • Disliked — Ugly room and slow trickle of hot water in the shower.
