Gardenia Hotel

This is a lovely, traditional Greek hotel. Staff are all very friendly especially the manager, Franchesco, who was very kind, helpful and knowledgeable about Santorini. Unfortunately the pool was closed when we were there but this was out of the hotels hands and they did there best to explain why and provided a list of other pools nearby we could use. We had one of the rooms with a kitchen and balcony which was lovely.

Central located in Perissa - and near to the beach - Well done Gardenia staff and Jet2rep the pool is open again and beautiful… the hotel has a well stocked pool bar and is close to all amenities. Situated on a small quiet road this hotel offers everything authentically Greek. Hop onto a bus to Fira or chill by the pool at this lovely hotel

Just awful, I really don’t know how people have rated this anything more than 1 star, rooms are so basic and don’t feel clean, 1 plug socket, hair dryer doesn’t really work, the noise throughout the hotel is unbearable, don’t think I slept more than an hour consecutively due to the noise! The air con leaked all over the floor right by our suitcases, we reported this to reception and they couldn’t fix the issue so moved us to another room for the last night which was meant to be an upgrade but the bed was like sleeping on a rock. We also had someone’s bathroom window on our balcony, no privacy at all! They could see us and we could see them. But the main issue is that the swimming pool had been closed prior to our arrival and during and still no sign of it being reopened at the end of our week there. We were not told this before we arrived so was a very unwelcome surprise to us as we booked this hotel based off the photos of the pool because that’s the sort of holidays we enjoy. They offered us a pool at hotel next door which was no bigger than a paddling pool. One of the worst hotels we’ve stayed in!
