Ikaros Hotel - Karterados

Very reasonable price! Clean enough room and nice balcony. The staffs were nice to us. 20minutes walking distance to the city centre Fira where you can take buses to most parts of Santorini.

The room is small, but it looks good. For the price, it's really with it. There's a parking for the hotel labeled as Nikolas, but the staff told me that they're cooperate. I park there for the entire stay.

Nice budget hotel, no frills but nothing bad, especially for the price which is literally cheaper than a meal. There's a receptionist (dark hair) who is literally the nicest person on the planet. Sorry we didn't get your name! My sat nav took me to hotel Cyclades, it also shows this on Google images. This is not the correct hotel and we arrived at night so literally had no clue where we were going ? If you have a similar problem the hotel is down the road to the left of hotel Cyclades then the first right, down at the bottom it's before the public car park. Be careful about the car park however, it seems as if there was a recent explosion and you have to drive over a rock slide. There is sometime parking available on the road, take that if you can!

I wouldn't recommend staying here as it falls extremely short of even a budget hotel. The bad: -Did not get the beds we booked -No hot water -Water is not drinkable -No internet The good: -It's quiet -can drop bags early We booked a room with "1 double bed and 1 single bed" specifically because other hotels didn't guarantee the double bed. Our room had only two single beds. We assume a hotel will have hot water. Out of the four times we tried showering we had hot water once. Clearly they don't have a strong/big enough hot water heater. We told staff this, and later when told that we never got more hot water the response was, "Oh, we've been using it down here cleaning. I guess we didn't leave you any." We also assume hotels have drinkable water. Yes, their water won't hurt you but it's very unpleasant (salty) to drink and is terrible for coffee. The staff specifically recommend using bottled water when you check in. When internet is advertised as an amenity I expect something that I can stay logged into for more than 4 minutes and something that manages a Google search in less than 2 minutes. Regularly there was no signal to connect to. I had 100x better internet using data through my phone on a ferry leaving the island than through the hotel wi-fi. So, on two accounts (bed and internet) we were lied two and on two accounts (hot and drinkable water) I learned that what I consider basic amenities are things I need to request. The hotel's position: eh, too bad.

Loved this hotel! We stayed here for three nights and had excellent service throughout the whole stay. Good, very reasonably priced breakfast, nice, light rooms with good AC and a cozy balcony. Hope we can come back some day.

Friendly staff but rooms are clean but very small, also you can hear what’s going on in other rooms very clearly right from the corridor. Provided only towels and soap. Limited breakfast selection.

Small and not so well maintained rooms. The bathroom was very small and the ac could have been cleaned more often but if you are looking for a cheap option in a location at the center of the island it is okay. Elisavet at the reception though was so sweet and helpful in everything we asked. Thank you so much Elisabeth

Honestly I wasn’t overly impressed. I was only here two nights nights and am glad I didn’t stay any longer. The walls are very thin and you can hear absolutely everything in the hotel. I could even hear when the person in the room next to me would get a notification on their phone. The owners also had a baby and I’m not sure if it was unwell but it constantly cried throughout the night, on top of that one night I was woken up by people screaming at eachother, I couldn’t figure out if it was other guests or the owners in an argument. Maybe not during peak season it would be a nice stay. Rooms were clean but rundown. Location is good for being out of the hustle and just a short bus ride.
