Amazing hotel, great breakfast, room and service. Close enough from Fira to walk and far enough away from crowds.

Jenny was a real jewel helping with all our questions and needs. The room faced the sunsets each evening and the view could not have been better. There was a restaurant on site for breakfast which was excellent. The only drawback was there was no pool which I had overlooked when we booked. The customer service made up for this!!

Fabulous place it was spotless Great view, well positioned, great value and they could not have been more helpful. I haven’t had service and helpfulness like that from even five star resorts very often- I can’t recommend it enough.

After a rough start at checkin concerning our room placement, the experience was more than made up for by its friendly staff and perfect location for walking to shops and restaurants and to our ATV. The breakfast was included at the cafe and our table was reserved for the best view. There were many choices and the staff was even happy to take photos of us. Jenny, who worked the desk, gave us many ideas about where to go and what to do. All in all, a wonderful experience!

The hospitality of the staff at Hotel Galini was beyond amazing! We arranged for a transfer to and from the ferry port and the reponses from the hotel staff to arrange the services were fast. We were greeted at arrival by front desk and we were informed of all the nearby landmarks and even guided to our room and informed of all the amenities and complimentary items. Front staff went above and beyond in their care. Right outside our room is a shared balcony that provided a beautiful view of the caldera and sea. If you don't want to see a sunset at the crowded Oia, you can comfortably watch from your room. The room is slightly small and difficult to open and close large suitcases but we were aware of this. The room looked exactly as the pictures online. The popular authentic greek food restaurant Aktaion is right outside the hotel. The walk to Fira to the bus station is 15minutes max from the hotel. I would consider restaying at this location in the future.

Close to everything, lovely views
Great place, gorgeous views, clean and comfortable. Stayed in the most expensive suite and it was lovely but not exceptional. The staff were polite and accommodating but it didn't have a warm feel to the service. Lots of food options. The deck upstairs didn't have sufficent shade to use as we were expecting.

Beautiful cozy hotel, great location and service
Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location with beautiful 180 " views of Caldera, right in middle of Caldera, near Fira. Nice restaurant on top with good choices and very good breakfast and service. Few other real nice restaurants just few steps away. We had a room with private balcony which was very comfortable with beautiful views. My only suggestion is to update the bathroom and shower, otherwise very comfy.

8/10 Very good

Ideal location and beautiful view. Clean, quiet, and very comfortable bed. The complementary breakfast was delicious! A short walk to Thira, and a short bus ride away to Oia. The only thing we can complain about was the size of bathroom, and especially how the shower is oriented which causes water to go all over the floor. Otherwise, the staff were very helpful and extremely friendly.

My wife and I stayed in the Junior Villa in late July 2023. This property provided an incredible and efficient experience for us. The Villa itself is in a perfect location with beautiful views from the balcony and terrace of the sea and the volcano. The private terrace has a tub and can view the sunset. Breakfast was individually ordered and delivered to the balcony in the morning. The interior of the Villa we found very cozy with the stone structure entering the rooms and shower. The staff was amazing. Messaged us every day on whatsapp to make sure we had everything we needed, arranged our transfers to/from airport, and also arranged activities for us. The general area for the hotel and villa is in the "quieter" part of the city which was exactly what we were looking for. Overall, the experience made our trip to Santorini as perfect as it could get. Highly recommended!

Amazing space and service!
Our stay was amazing. We were in the family villa. On arrival, you are not able to drive too close to the unit, the final portion is down a few minutes of steps, but the gentleman who delivered our luggage was amazing and handled it with ease. Further he delivered breakfast to our unit each morning exactly as planned and orderred. The unit was amazing, the hot tub exactly as shown with a ridiculous view of the caldera.The arched ceiling in the unit and cave like rooms and bathroom were special. Would recommend to anyone. The only issue was our hot water did not work on the forst night, but when notified, the same gentleman who delivered our bags, actually ran to our unit and had it working in just minutes. I have no idea why this is shown as a 2 star hotel, it is a 5 star treatment and facility without a doubt. Book it with ease.

8/10 Very good

There is nothing specific that I didn't like; for its price point, this wonderful. I don't rate it the full five stars only because there are establishments that are possibly better at higher price points. If the mantra of the hotel industry is "location location location", then this is really really good. The views from just outside my room was outstanding, and the hotel itself is a minute's walk away from where the taxi dropped me off.

While the room & view are everything one could hope for (expect a small room), the staff is what made our visit even more special. Julie, Dennis & the Cafe Galini staff were all exceptional! Cafe is truly the best restaurant on the island!

Magical stay at Galini Jr. Villa
We stayed in the jr. villa and absolutely loved it. It was priced so reasonably for how spacious it was. It had a bedroom, closet, bathroom, living room, kitchen and a private rooftop deck with sun chairs and a hot tub. The service was amazing and the location was great!
