Ayoba Santorini

Very different. Much nicer than I had expected based on some of the reviews. The concierge was very helpful, printed bus schedules for us and even offered to walk us to the bus stop! Is located at the top of the caldera so no long staircases to get to your room.

Had an absolutely wonderful time in Imerovigli at Ayoba! Such a perfect location to be able to reach everything on the island, and such a quiet, relaxing, and lovely place to stay. Breakfast was a real highlight, so tasty! And everyone working there was incredibly helpful and friendly. They were super accommodating with my weird arrival and departure times, and helped me plan out activities during my stay. Cannot recommend enough!

Me and my partner stayed here for a week and it was so lovely. The staff are so friendly and helpful, they couldn’t do more for us. We enjoyed staying in imerovigli because it is much quieter than Oia and Fira but still has the same amazing views and restaurants to offer. Vigla and Mama Lina were our favourites. We used the local buses to travel around the island. It was only €1.60 each so it was a cheap way to travel. The beaches are too far away to walk but are easily accessible by bus. The breakfast provided was delicious and there was a fridge and microwave in our studio apartment that we could use to make our other meals if we wished. A minor downside was that me or my partner didn’t get any service in the room. It didn’t really matter to us as we weren’t using our phones to make calls but just be aware if that would be an issue for you. Overall it was a brilliant place to stay and if were to return to Santorini in the future this would be the first place we check availability for.

I stayed here for four nights in July 2022 for a friend's wedding. The hotel is in a fab location just off the square where there are number of restaurants and seats where you can watch the sunset. The room was great for what I needed and the best thing to recommend the hotel is the amazing staff. Breakfast is made to order and brought to your room at a time that suits you, and the staff went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed and that I was taken care of. (Gigi in particular was a godsend and made sure I was well looked after!) Staying in a hotel on your own can be a bit nerve-racking but right from the start I was made to feel at home here and even better like I was among friends. On my day of departure I had a super late flight and transfer and all the staff made sure I had somewhere to keep my stuff and even extended my access to my room so I had a base during what would otherwise have been an extremely long day. I can't recommend this hotel and its amazing staff to you enough.

We stayed only two nights coming back from Milos, the location in nice the breakfast is good and the owner is very friendly. The hotel has a small solarium and a jacuzzi. The position is perfect for a walk to Fira and Oia. We hope to come back soon.
