The service at this property was truly exceptional.
The location is excellent !
The hotel appears to have been newly renovated, as everything was impeccably clean. All were greatly appreciated.
Considering all these factors, the value for money was outstanding. I would not hesitate to stay here again on my next visit to Santorini!
Great hotel for our second stay in Santorini! Pool is great and big for central Fira!
Rooms clean and large! Cleaned every day! Plenty of parking!
Overall great stay
Everything was amazing. Rooms were clean, fresh sheets and towels everyday. Lovely people. The pool area was great as well. Everything was perfect would stay here again. Amazing location
The hotel had bed bugs. We found the first bed bug on the pillow and then a second crawling across the bed. Brought both bugs, and photos to the hotel. They refused to do anything other than change the sheets. We went back to the room, and looked at the mattress. We found more bed bugs. The night manager told us that there was nothing he could do, even though he acknowledged there were bed bugs. He even said they’d put somebody else in that very room the next day.
At that point, we did not feel comfortable staying there. We left and paid for a room at another hotel.
The next day, we were told by Golden Star that they’d change our room. We went to look at the new room and also found all of the signs on that bed that there bed bugs as well. It was evident that the hotel has an infestation problem they’re refusing to deal with. The hotel refused to provide a refund and the manager/owners refused to talk to us. This was the worst hotel experience by far and ruined the start of our honeymoon. We were left scrambling to find new hotels last minute, and did not receive the refund.
Great hotel modern amenities. Pool is great. Staff is very welcoming and helpful close to the center of town without being right in the center of it. An amazingly quiet with the windows closed.

Good location but not friendly for family use
Any transportation is required to contact with hotel with certain fee, the room is not friendly for family used. Good location to access public transportation.
Loved our stay at Golden Star. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and clean. Air conditioning was excellent. Pool was great to cool down in the late afternoon. Highly recommend.
I rarely leave review, but Manolis was super accommodating . Helped us with many things throughout our 3 nights stay there. The room is sparkly clean everytime we come back. Room is beautiful and has reallly nice views of the ocean. Actually one of the rare hotels that looks better in person. Highly recommended
Excellent customer service lady works in the 8 am to 5pm work shift was amazing give us a lot of tips, friendly and help us in the itinerary at the island, hotel amazing lot of extras I recommend it
I believe this property was recently renovated and you can tell. It's very clean. The location is great because it's in Fira, just a short walk up a hill.
