Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
The hotel staff could not help enough, not that we needed much assistance. Absolutely superb, clean and the attention to detail superb. Room, clean basic, bed comfy, just what we ordered. Thank you guys ! The pool by the way is cleaned regularly at night automatically. Such a super experience and the breakfast amazing.
Hotel Gardenia will always hold a special place in our hearts. We first stayed here in 2024 when we visited Santorini and got engaged, and we loved it so much that we returned again in May 2026 when we came back to get married!
Both stays were absolutely wonderful. The service was fantastic each time, and every member of staff we encountered was so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The hotel has such lovely, relaxed vibes and immediately makes you feel at home.
The rooms were always spotlessly clean, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. Housekeeping did an excellent job, with the rooms cleaned and refreshed daily to a very high standard. For the quality of the accommodation, service, and location, we also felt the hotel offered fantastic value for money.
The location is also perfect — just a short walk to the beachfront and close to all the hustle and bustle, while still feeling peaceful and relaxing when you’re back at the hotel.
The breakfast each morning was always delicious and the perfect way to start the day. The cocktails were fantastic, the beers and soft drinks were always ice cold, and the food served at the bar was also really tasty. It made for many enjoyable afternoons and evenings relaxing around the hotel.
What really makes Hotel Gardenia stand out, though, is the people. The staff are genuinely wonderful and go out of their way to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Their warmth and hospitality are a huge part of why we chose to return.
We have such happy memories here from two of the most important trips of our lives, and we will definitely be back again in the future. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this charming Greek hotel to anyone planning a trip to Perissa. Thank you to the whole team for making both of our stays so special!
Great location and nice pool area. Staff friendly and dealt with our room issue professionally. We had a standard room which was small and a very small bathroom. However it was clean and fresh. We found the hotel for us was a great location, as close to bars and pleasant walk to the beach and the restaurants. Parents also stayed at hotel had a large room with kitchenette and it was very nice and a large room and bathroom. 1st time to Santorini and will defo consider this hotel for our return.
I stayed at this hotel as a solo traveller for 4 nights in June. My room was spacious with a double bed and single bed, plenty of wardrobe/storage space, a small kitchen and bathroom and a good sized balcony. The room was cleaned daily to a very good standard.
Breakfast was lovely with the option of sausage, bacon, omelette, boiled eggs, pancakes, cheese, ham, fruit, cereal, yogurt and toast.
The pool area was spacious and the pool a decent size. On my first day I did struggle to get a sun lounger (which was primarily an issue as multiple people had reserved them and didn’t use them until later in the day, if at all!), but I had no issues for the remainder of my stay.
All staff I spoke to were happy and friendly, particularly the man at the poolside bar.
The poolside bar did a very good selection of food options (paninis, gyro, salads, chips, pasta dishes etc) at reasonable prices. The voucher for a welcome drink was also a nice touch.
WiFi was good around the pool area and in communal areas, but didn’t work in my room. This is the only reason I haven’t given the hotel 5 stars, as I couldn’t fault anything else.
The hotel is in a great location and is within walking distance of the beach, shops, bars and restaurants.
Overall I had a brilliant stay and would definitely book here again if I came back to Santorini.
We stayed here 5 nights from the 23rd of June on B&B We had rooms 5 and 7 on the ground floor near the breakfast room and over looking the road( which is quiet) We were checked in by the lovely Francesco who we chatted with most nights on our return from our night out. The breakfast was the same most days and would have been nice to have a croissant or pain du chocolate seeing as there are two bakeries near by. the Cornflakes were not good quality. The pool bar was good and the food and drink very good lovely staff in there. some people did leave their towels on the beds and for a few days we could not around the pool so went to the beach. the rooms were clean and the beds very comfy, small bathroom, and air con provided which was nice. easy stroll to the beach or supermarket and to Dorians for a cheap drink. The restaurants along the front were good and we found a fantastic Italian restaurant(Sirocco) on the back road with the best pizzas. We would return to this hotel for sure. Thank you Rachel, Andy & Jack.
