Found this Hotel to be really nice, located close to the Seafront and within easy walking distance of Restaurants. Reception was always staffed and all staff were very friendly and helpful. The pool is one of the largest we have seen in a small hotel and the water was freshwater not saltwater. Accomodation is simple but very clean and maid service 6 days, with regular linen changes. The shower worked very well, loads of hot water and a cutain! Will go again.

Have used this hotel for nearly 20 years. its handy for my wife who is disabled,close to the beach if you require it,easy walking distance to most taverna's and supermarkets, bakers within ear shot in fact well located. The staff are all very friendly nothing is too much trouble, rooms are basic, plenty of hot water yes salty but you don't drink hot water,cleaners in every day except Sunday and do a good job.and Elias the owner he is a character aways has a smile on his face,will help anyone, we look forward to seeing them all again in May and September 2007 regards Sir Ron and Lady Mo as we are known out in Santorini.

When my friends pal had to suddenly pull out of her holiday, I jumped at the chance of taking her place and visiting Santorini. And I was not disappointed! A beautiful island, although very hot in August!
As for the gardenia, yes, it was basic, but cleaned on a regular basis and the staff were helpful. The shower could have done with some curtains or something, as it was a bit like showering in a fire hearth-water went everywhere and you ended up standing starkers mopping the pool of water. lol.
A short walk to the beach-though watch that sand, it;s very hot! The pool was great, and the poolside bar served some good snacks.
In the evenings we usually ate at the wonderful Gods Garden, a few steps away from the Gardenia-the food is brilliant, and the staff very nice and helpful.

I would certainly go to both the gardenia and Santorini again if I get the chance, it was a brilliant holiday.

the hotel was basic but clean, the maid was there every day. The staff were very friendly and helpfull,the day was spent lazing by the pool then when the sun went down round to the poolside bar on the main street for one to many of aussie Daves cocktials some of the best ever tasted!!! would recomend a bus ride to where ever you want to go on the island you wont be disopointed.I must say we did not want this holiday to end. One thing is if you dont like things easy going and slightly on the quiet side give this beautifull islnd a miss.
