Three units are surrounding the “courtyard” which is also where the main office is. So people coming and going for check in and check out are literally outside of our windows. Interior is super old and outdated. The whole unit smelled heavily of cleaning detergent but nothing is clean. Toilets are old and yellow. We found mold on the shower wall. Kitchen smells like rotten wood.
Travel Month: Jul 2023Studio 1 had no wifi and no reception for data use. TV signal was intermittent for English Channel. Lounge chairs were broken. Very simple accommodations, not great value for the high cost. Giannis was helpful but these conditions were beyond his control. Studio 1 was very small, and bathroom was tiny. Gigi made a great breakfast but I would not return here. I feel I paid too much for this hotel.
Travel Month: Sep 2022The staff was very professional and friendly. Hotel Ayoba is recommended 100%
Travel Month: Jun 2022very nice, clean and quiet! love it!
Travel Month: Sep 2021The concierge Costas really made our stay a pleasure . He was over the top conscientious and considerate of our needs . Everything was up to par but having him at Ayoba definitely gives them an above average rating.
Travel Month: Jul 2021A few days before we arrived in Santorini my son and I were talking about our favorite hotels that we’ve ever stayed in. After just a few hours we excitedly added Ayoba Santorini to the list!
This hotel is fabulous— from its location in pretty, hilltop Imerovigli, to the room itself, to the bountiful & custom-made breakfast &, most notably, to the service. Kostas, the hotel manager, could not be kinder or more responsive. I had a few questions before arrival and he always answered my emails within hours. During our actual stay, no question or request was too big and he has a genuine pleasantness to him, you can just tell he’s not bother whatsoever to help.
You receive a breakfast list the day before and you can have cooked-to-order eggs, pastries, fruits, meats, cheeses. Greek goodies such as feta and tomatoes and cucumbers, cheese and spinach pies and so on are also available.
It is a very easy walk to the more bustling town of Fira, along a stone pathway, away from the road and traffic.
Travel Month: Jul 2021Great stay! Highly recommended
Travel Month: Jun 2021We stayed here fore three nights. The best aspects of this hotel are (1) staff - make sure you ask Elena's restaurant recommendations, we did and were really glad about it; (2) the location - just a minute away from the closes road means no carrying your luggage up and down stairs, and you are also just a minute away from the Fira to Oia hiking path and some amazing restaurants; and (3) breakfast made to order and brought to your room.
Travel Month: Oct 2019Great hidden gem in Imerovigli. Would have liked the hot tub to have been hot however. Breakfast was amazing every morning. Would return.
Travel Month: Sep 2019We had a brief 1-night stay at Ayoba Suites. Although it does not have a view of the caldera, the rooms are very spacious, modern, and clean, with all amenities. A nice large communal hot-tub was located right outside our room. The receptionist/manager of the hotel is the sweetest person who not only helped us check in early, but also booked our excursions and early morning shuttle to our ferry the next day. Plus, the breakfast she provided was delicious! Great value in Imerovigli!
Travel Month: Sep 2019Excellent location close to bus stop and walking distance to Fira. Clean and comfortable rooms. Eleni made us feel very welcome before our trip by keeping in touch on email. On check-in She gave us an overview of the island. She arranged our pickup, and also arranged our island tour and the catamaran trip which were well priced and enjoyable. Breakfast was customized to each family member’s taste and served in the room. Eleni - Thanks a lot.
Travel Month: Sep 2019The host is super friendly , breakfast is home made and delicious. Perfect location. Highly recommended
Travel Month: Aug 2019The hotel does not have a view,but is in a great location. We actually preferred this location rather than Fira or Oia. The Manager,Elani, was very welcoming, made us feel special and was very helpful in informing us about the island and tour options. She gave us the best map. Also, breakfast was delivered to a patio table outside our room and was a very nice touch.
Travel Month: Jun 2019Great time.. nice breakfast. The room is big and nuce. Easyblocation to take the local bus
Travel Month: Aug 2018Very good location, friendly staff, good breakfast. Only thing is need a bit more improvement in that no shower curtain, no hooks to hang up your wet towels.
Travel Month: Jul 2018Very nice hotel with friendly staff & lovely location to view beautiful Santorini sunsets in local wine bars. Rooms were updated with all of the basic necessities. Minor inconveniences were bathroom needs hooks for towels and maybe a shelf for toiletries. Also, windows need better shades because morning sunlight is very bright due to high location. Overall great spot.
Travel Month: Jul 2018A really nice hotel in the town/village of Imerovigli (which is the highest settled point on the Caldera walls).
First, the good things:-
The hotel is small so you get really good service from the people who work there. I cannot say enough good things about the hotel manager Veselin. He did so much for us before we arrived and after we got to the island that it made my holiday completely stress free.
The breakfasts are excellent and prepared to order. Ours were always delivered on time and each room/suite has a table outside where you can eat your breakfast in the sunshine.
The Room we had was large, well equipped and was very clean and comfortable. The room was air-conditioned but we did not use it while we were there.
There is free WiFi available in the hotel and we got good speeds on both mobile phones and laptops while we were there.
Several good restaurants nearby, probably advisable to get reservations if it is the busy season.
Down sides next:-
No view of the Caldera from the Hotel - you need to walk 10-20 meters to get that. If you are going to Santorini, you should be able to manage that!
Parking outside the Hotel is a nightmare. To be fair this is the same for most of Santorini and I cannot Imagine what it will be like in the height of summer.
Travel Month: Apr 2018ホテルの担当者がとても親切に対応して下さりました。
深夜のチェックインも可能で、朝ごはんも美味しく大変満足です。
Travel Month: Sep 2024Charmigt och originellt boende. Luriga trappor som inte är för pensionärer eller småbarn. Men ett fantastiskt annorlunda boende med underbar utsikt.
Travel Month: Aug 2024No window in the room
