This place was amazing- beautiful views; excellent, friendly helpful staff (they can book tours, give advice on anything etc), colourful rooms and terrace, location that can't be beat and delicious breakfast! There are many steps, however, so if you can't handle too many steps, when booking you should ask for a room closer to reception and with fewer steps. On... More

Excellent location and wonderful staff. However beds were old and hard as rocks. We stayed here three nights and did not get much sleep due to the uncomfortable beds. Rooms are clean and hotel has awesome views.

I never thought a hotel could have such a negative effect on my stay in Greece, but this hotel did! From the first moment we arrived, there was a problem-many, many steps! There was NO elevator in this hotel which is built on the side of a cliff. We walked sixty-five long outdoor steps and finally reached our room. This... More

One would hard pushed to find a better location to stay in Fira. Located immediately adjacent to “Gold Street” in the island’s capital is Hotel Kavalari, a converted sea captain’s house that now provides a magical location to enjoy the wonderful views of Santorini’s Caldera. Rooms, which are nicely unique in their shape/structure, are clean and bright (though you will... More

To stay at this hotel is to have views of a slice of heaven!! You eat breakfast outside facing the water and views of other greek islands. The staff members are so knowledgable and friendly. A great value and great location!

Kavalari is located at a strategic location. It is in the centre of town, whereby it is shield by the late night party noise. It is surrounded by lots of restaurants, shops, mini markets etc. The steps weren't as scary as some of the comments (when you stay in Santorini, be prepared to walk!). However, it is kind of slippery... More

From the first moments of our arrival, the employees of the hotel were very polite and eager to assist us with details on how to spend our time most appropriate. The receptionist was beyond his duty friendly, willing to help and to give directions for any type of information we were looking for. Breakfast was excellent, we really liked the... More

Centrally located,10 mins to city square, old port and local bus station. Perched on the edge of the Caldera, you have a nice view of the caldera from your room/balcony. Sunset was beautiful from the balcony, why go to OIA for the sunset? Rooms are well maintained with free wifi. Breakfast was sufficient though i missed my eggs. James and... More

GREAT location, very close to the bus stop. Which works out nicely since we take the bus everywhere--to ruins, beaches, other towns, airport, etc. BEAUTIFUL view from rooms, breakfast area, and balconies. Plus if you open the windows, you get the refreshing breeze from the sea. The view of the sunset and moon from this hotel is amazing. Efficient check-out...and... More
