Daedalus Hotel

Loved my stay at Daedalus. The staff was friendly , attentive and very helpful. Especially liked the reception staff and in the breakfast area, Maggi was ever smiling and took great care . Location is quite central to Fira - bus and taxi station proximity came in handy to plan trips around Santorini.

Average experience During our stay, staff were very pleasant and kind. The outdoor area of the hotel was beautiful and the pool was amazing and a great feature to have in such a warm island. However, the location of the hotel was a huge let down, there was a giant car park right next to the hotel and a main road on the front and side of the hotel that was incredibly noisy and you could hear most of the time. Our room lacked a lot of features like a clothes line (we noticed majority of the rooms around us had one but we didn’t), a rack to hang towels in the bathroom or a fan in the bathroom which made it very hot and unpleasant and the small window only made it incredibly noisy from the road. The rooms don’t seem up to standard compared to the outdoor area of the hotel. Our experience was hindered mostly by the fact after check out and settling the payment with the accomodation, they had charged our card an additional few hundred dollars due to a mix up made by hotel staff undercharging us and without prior consent or knowledge they withdrew the money from the card details provided at the time of booking online (which we were under the impression was for the use of securing the booking or in the chance of a last minute cancellation, not for the hotel to use to charge additional payments without consent from us first). Overall, it was an average experience.

Great location and comfortable. Great location and friendly staff. Santorini activity was steps away and the pool was a nice oasis to relax. Rooms are not luxurious but fit our needs and comfortable.

Lovely Stayed 3 nights. Great location, close to bus station and on a road so easy to access. Close to town centre. Very clean. Beautiful pool area. Friendly staff. Lovely breakfast. Not busy. On arrival we were upgraded to a room with a jacuzzi but the outdoor space wasn’t as good as our booked room, so we reverted to the booked room with no problems. Can’t think of any constructive criticism. Would recommend.

Overall our experience here was good. The downer was we were initially placed in a room in the "basement" you had to look way up from your balcony to see some blue sky. The room was very dingy in appearance - When we complained to a staff member, possibly owner? She was an older woman- she argued with us that it was not a basement but it was ground floor level. I stated we didn't want to argue over it, but she continued to argue/insist it was not a basement. I thought that point was irrelevant because the room was not to our liking, and it didn't matter what she called it. They could not accommodate a move that night, but we were moved the next day to a lovely room on the 2nd floor, with a nice view of the pool and surroundings. The gentleman at the front desk was immensely helpful and very pleasant. He made phone calls for us and was able to translate and assist with whatever we requested. We had no other problems during our stay. The breakfast was very good and moderate variety of foods. The breakfast room was clean and well attended. The hotel location couldn't be better. It was a block away from the bus station which we used daily, and the neighbouring shops just steps away from the bus station. Plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. I would stay here again, but would request a room "above ground level" prior to arrival.
