Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, although a bit smaller than others I've seen. The staff was friendly and professional, except for one slightly unfriendly older woman. The location was marvelous, overlooking the sea and offering a peaceful retreat just a short walk away from the bustling town center of Fira. The dining experience was delightful with delicious homemade meals, and the view where I enjoyed my meals was perfect. Overall, a great value for money with excellent service and amenities.
The hotel rooms are very clean and well-appointed with an incredible view over the caldera, although they don't offer a direct view of the sea from inside and are a bit smaller than other rooms. The basic rooms are very clean, but unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the pool.
I had a great stay at Smaro Studios! The room was brand new and separated from the main area, offering fantastic amenities like a shower, kitchen, and TV. The price was much more affordable compared to other options like Dana.
