"Good value" Family run, small hotel. Clean, quiet. Located to the east of Fira, so no sunset view over the water, but still has nice views from the room patio. Is a short walk (maybe a quarter-mile) to the shops and restaurants of Fira. Good-sized pool, chairs and sunshades on the deck. Was well-maintained and clean.

"Clean, Nice, good price." My wife and I stayed 6 nights at the Hotel Melina and found it to be clean and quiet. (My wife even thought it was clean, so that is saying something). It is a 5 minute walk to the center of town (literally 5 min.). The breakfast was nice, the staff/family were helpfull and overall we enjoyed our stay. We would stay there again. The pool view is a little better than the distant sea view. We paid 70 euros per night. I suggest renting a motorbike to get to all the beaches for 10 ero per day. The "family tavern" next to "Vlachada" beach was very good, the beach was quiet and nice as well. The best restaurant we ate at in Fira is "Nikolas", no view but "real" greek food (located in the middle of the main shopping area. Ask for suggestions on restaurants b/c many are tourist traps with bad food.

"Exactly as Advertised" The hotel is conveniently located on a quiet side street and only a short walk from the center of town. We stayed for two nights here. The accommodation was basic but more than sufficient, and the room was very clean. The staff was very friendly and the hot breakfast was quite good. Unless you have to stay at a hotel with the caldera view right through the window of your room (and pay $$$), this is an excellent choice at a modest price. We won't hesitate to stay here again.
