- We had a 2-night stay in the hotel. To our pleasant surprise, it is conveniently located in Fira Town and it's a short 3-minute walk to the food and shopping places in Fira. We like the clean and modern rooms and bathrooms and there are facilities to boil hot water and make beverages in the room. The swimming pool is nice and they serve simple breakfast by the pool. The service staff were helpful in confirming our transfers and making sure that we got onto the right bus. Good place to stay for a holiday in Santorini. « less

- The ONLY main plus is the good location of the hotel right beside to the main square, but the rooms are just really small and quite dirty with extremely hard beds.
Also, the toilet seat was broken and the toilet leaked water. The cleaning staff has seen at least the broken toilet seat but decided to not do anything about it. Also, the breakfast was quite disappointing… the bread isn't even fresh!
The staff, particularly the manager (one blonde young lady) was unfriendly, rude and unaccommodating. Even if she sees you and you smile on her, she will completely ignore as if she did not see anybody passed by. She is totally terrrible. She does not know the meaning of customer service, or simply the so called MANNERS. Overall, the hotel is somewhere between one and two stars but far away from the four star classification it advertises. « less

- GoAhead Tours booked us into this dump and I'd advise anyone not to stay there.
The room was tiny, furnished in junk, and it took forever for the hot water to trickle out of the shower head. Allow at least twice the time to shower in the morning.
This place is a dump despite the pretty photos you might see because the lobby and pool area are inviting. But when you enter your room, you'll wish you'd stayed elsewhere. « less

- Daedalus hotel is not as good as it seems in travel agent proshures the net site. Its really a damp.
I must say that I stayed in this hotel this summer for a week and I my staying there ruined my hole summer vaccations.
Eventough we booked and paid our staying there one month before arrival when we arrived the hotel at 1am in the morning we found out that we had no room to stay. The management of the hotel instead of apologising for overbooking lied to us saying that water pipes broke to some rooms so we had no room for the night. Did nothing to book us another room for the night and did it only after shutting with the hotel manager. The next afternoon we got into the hotel room. But hey, the room was too small, the furniture old, there was no bathtap and the bathroom was too small. The door of the bathroom had to stay open cause when we closed it once and got locked self in. The balcone was looking at the pool which that was good, but it was so small that only one person could fit to sit outsite. Above all I found the hotel dirty and the managment not so polite and helpful. The good thing that made our mood was that the hotel is located very close to the Fira town only 2-3 minutes on foot and there was a supermarket across the street. As for everything else does not worth the money we paid for our weekly staying there. I dont recomend it. « less

- We agree with an earlier review (Jul. 9, 2007) that the hotel seems to have fixed the water problem. Also, the hotel is indeed conveniently located, central but quiet (at least in our room during our stay). We had a room with decent size, but the bathroom is very small.
The breakfast is ok only; the furnishing is inadequate, as mentioned by other travelers.
The hotel charged half of our total stay (four nights) to our credit card the next day after we checked in without any prior notification. If this is their policy, it was not posted either on the hotel’s own website or on booking.com website where we made the reservation.
