Hippocampus Hotel

We cannot praise this hotel highly enough. What a fantastic place to relax, situated in a prime position near to the beach and all the bars and restaurants surrounding. The hotel and grounds are immaculate, the pool area is stunning and the breakfast is excellent with lots of choice and high quality food. Our room is modern and spacious and the beds are comfortable. The only negative I can find is that the pillows are too hard and caused neck problems for several of us. ||The star of the show here though is the staff. They cannot do enough for you. We were a large party on the island for my sister’s wedding and they were so helpful and kind to us in the lead up to the big day. They even provided a club room for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready. (Apparently this was their first wedding and you could sense their pride.) ||We rarely return to the same place twice but we will do our utmost to return here as soon as possible. ||Thank you so much!

Hippocampus is a great family run hotel with helpful and attentive staff, great location, excellent grounds and landscaping, good pool, so everything you wish for. Enjoyed a very pleasant 1 week stay in June and felt really welcome, but able keep my own privacy. Stylish.

The Hippocampus Hotel is one I would highly recommend staying at, and would definitely stay at again. It's clean and tidy, the staff are lovely, the rooms are modern and the beds are comfortable. The breakfast on offer has a wide range to choose from and the location couldn't be better. The pools are nice and there's plenty of room around each of them. A jewel in the crown of Kamari and Santorini.

Great hotel in the centre of Kumari. The hotel was always kept clean and the staff are very friendly, responsive and accommodating - special thanks to Barbara for all her help during our stay! |Great facilities in the rooms - comfortable beds, AC, fully mirrored wardrobe, balcony and kettle available on request. We also enjoyed our breakfast buffet.|The location was ideal, 2mins walk to the beach and 5mins walk to the bus stop for the local bus to Fira. Good supermarkets and restaurants literally on the doorstep.||We had a great stay, no complaints at all. Would recommend. Thanks for a lovely stay!

One of the best hotels I've ever stayed at... Such a warm, family feel which is true, honest and humble... It's not "5 star" in your traditional sense but it's immaculate in service and well up there. The family that run it make this 6 star in my opinion... Such lovely people and even the cleaners would meet you with a smile and a "good morning" - it felt perfect. The pools and recent work ARE 5 star... Honestly could not give it higher praise. There is a little takeaway opposite with lovely gyros for a quick lunch and a very nice restaurant on the corner too. As others have said - the receptionist could not do more for you. 2-3 min walk to the beach and restaurants, supermarkets and an array of bars, airport pickups and an ample and well stocked buffet breakfast.

Very friendly, kind and helpful reception team and barman.|Excellent little bar.|Two lovely pools.|Very clean hotel.|Very centrally located. |Surrounded by bars and restaurants yet the hotel was very quiet and relaxing. |Standard double room was a good size and very clean with cute little balcony. |Good aircon.|

We didn’t stay at this hotel but visited late this evening because we were desperately searching for a taxi to take us back to our Airbnb and couldn’t find anything. The receptionist was so kind and called someone to pick us up who was there within 15 minutes. She didn’t need to do this as we weren’t her guests, but clearly took pity on the exhausted looking pregnant lady 😅 the hotel looks beautiful from the outside and was so friendly. Thank you so much!

What is not to like about this hotel. Clean well situated for everything and lovely helpful staff.||Pool was cold as it was May but great for cooling off before going back to the sun.||Breakfast was simple but ample and you’re totally spoiled for eating places. Check out the Grill opposite for great kebabs and Jiros. Also Alforno Italian. Food was amazing and reasonably priced we went 3 times. Thank you to all the staff who were great.
