Reviews of Katerina & John Hotel

19 May 2012 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Price! Very cheap for a private room compared with other Greek Islands. John picked us up from the port and dropped us off. His son has a ATV and scooter rental place next door with good prices. Location is nice because it basically forces you to ride around the island and allows you to see parts of it you may not have seen if you stayed in Fira or Oia.

Disliked: You have to pay for the internet and we got the wi-fi internet and it was very slow, they blamed it on the weather. It is a hassle to buy unique wi-fi passwords everytime and even more annoying when the interenet is very slow. But the price of the Hostel makes up for it. Also they do really take credit cards. They say they do but they really want cash, they again said they couldn't take credit because of the "weather" but I could take out cash down the road.

21 April 2012 Carmaria would recommend this property

Liked: For the money it was a fine place to stay. The rooms were large and clean. The staff are friendly and polite. The grounds are well looked after and they came in to clean my room about every other day. I would stay here again for sure. The son has an ATV/Scooter rental place right next door with great prices. There is an internet cafe in the ATV/Scooter rental office that you have to pay 1 euro per half hour for. Very friendly happy staff. 5 monute walk to beach, phone, bank machine, 24 hour bakery. About a half hour beautiful ATV ride to get into Fira....easy to ride an ATV all oround the island.

Disliked: You can only get Wi-Fi in the common outside area by the pool. The dorms are very damp and have a bit of a dank odour. I upgraded to a private room which was warmer and not damp.

17 April 2012 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Value for money, easy to rent ATV's and explore the while island, not just the famous parts. Transfers to and from port. Yummy bakery nearby.

Disliked: Didn't really seem to be a common room, which would be ok in summer, but not a cold spring night.

10 April 2012 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The owners of this family-run hostel were extremely friendly - they offered lots of useful advice and were always around to answer questions. As it was the off season, they offered to drive us to and from the port, even though we weren't staying in a private room. Located close to the Perissa beach, but is on the other side of the island from the more famous towns of Fira and Oia.

Disliked: Bathrooms could have been a little cleaner, but not really a problem.

02 October 2011 Libania would recommend this property

Liked: Its near to the beach, it has a 24h bakery and it has a place that rents motos to a special price to people who stay here. The room is nice, it has kitchnet and its clean. For this price it couldnt be better!

Disliked: The location is not very good. But if you rent a moto I think it's ok to stay in Perissa and travel all around the island.

30 September 2011

Liked: Just near to Perissan Beach, nothing special.

Disliked: Very far to Fira and Oia. And you need to travel by bus to these two popular sites, which cost Euro 7.80.

29 September 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: had a pick up from the port, a pool, cheap, av rental right outside, close to beach.

Disliked: the dorm room was a lil dingy but for only 6euros, def good for that! cant complain

25 September 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This place is great! We booked 2 nights for so cheap and stayed for 5 (the extra 3 nights they gave to us at a discounted rate!). The whole family are really nice and will help you with anything, they picked us up and drove us to the port even when we were the only 2 going. Perissa beach is a great place to stay. Rent an ATV it's a good way to see the island as the buses are pretty average. People who have complained about this place expect way too much. It is a little dated, but think about how cheap it is for a Greek Island, and how it is only 300m to the beach!

Disliked: Nothing!

24 September 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: walking distance to the Black Beach which is awesome outside the hotel there is a bus stop, 24-hour bakery and supermarket, very convenient.

Disliked: check-in time is pretty flexible, which can be a merit but that means there can be someone which enters your room at either very late night or very early in the morning.

23 September 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The price! 30 euro each for a twin room for 4 nights with own bathroom, tv, fridge and camp stove. Had a pool and was a short walk from Parissa beach or you could catch the bus or rent an ATV for 15 euro for 24hrs from John's son next door and head over to Fira, Oia etc. Free shuttle to and from the ferry port if you contact them beforehand.

Disliked: Our room was next to the pool so it was a little noisy if a group of people we're hanging around till late into the night. Had to pay for internet at cafe next door but we found if you go to a cafe on the beach, some have free wifi for customers so you can just buy a drink or lunch and chill on the internet there and go simming etc

19 September 2011 Shan would recommend this property

Liked: Staff is very nice and friendly! Very valuable for money! Strongly recommend!

Disliked: Location is far from Fira and must take bus to sightseeing. Bus comes every one hour, and is not punctual.

14 September 2011 Lauren would recommend this property

Liked: Rooms decent size, has a pool, in good area, clean, free port transfers, good value for money. Visited a few areas in Santorini but if you want to be near the beach with choice for places to eat & drink Perssia is the best, Kamari was okay but the rocks were a bit big & it was a little more pricey.

Disliked: Bit further from beach than some of places but it was next to internet cafe, bike hire stores, great bakery, supermarket & ATMs.

12 September 2011

Liked: The owner is really helpfull

Disliked: Its really dirty

09 September 2011 Grigorios would recommend this property

Liked: This was the best value accommodation in Greece! Being a hostel owner myself, this place makes me ashamed of my own prices. The immaculate double with AC, tv, fridge, kettle, safe-box and balcony overlooking the nice pool comes for less than any dorm bed in Greece! The free pick up from the port and Johns friendliness just add on to it. If money matters -come here.

Disliked: Nothing.

28 August 2011 Rebecca would recommend this property

Liked: Rich is a man who works there and was so helpful throughout our whole stay. The hotel was very accommodating and nothing was a problem to them.

Disliked: The road outside was quite noisy, but for the price we paid and the location it wasn't a big problem,
