Very clean, convenient location
This place was spotless. It is no frills but we are budget travelers. The staff was very helpful. The only downside was that the location was noisy. I slept with earplugs at night to solve that.

Made to wait outside in sweltering heat
Hotel is quite good & comfortable but I did not appreciate when I was asked to wait outside in the heat for a long time when I had turned up early and early check-in was not possible. The least I expect from a hotel is to allow a wait at the Reception area. I was specifically told that I could not wait in the Reception area.

Awesome hotel with great and helpful staff. Close to everything. We got in super early (8am) and decided to sit and relax by the pool until our quads had arrived and they came at 10 and we got into our room by 10:15!! (Check in wasn’t suppose to be until 2!) My only conpliants would be its very noisey and the beds aren’t comfy (like at all..... - hard as rock)

New beds needed
Good location. Easy walk up to main drag and cable car and in the middle of the island to have easy access to everything else. Very clean but if the beds could be updated with higher, comfortable mattresses I would stay there again. They were lumpy, hard and small, typical of the smaller places we stayed at in Greece.

Very nice near fira centre
Bus stop right out from of hotel, super easy to get to via bus from airport. Nice strip of shops down the road easy to travel to. Plus a 10 minute walk to the centre of Fira, including bus terminal to go to anywhere in Santorini. Hotel facility is very clean, nice option to lay by the pool if not wanting to visit a beach. If you wake up early enough you can get a beautiful view of the sunrise too Hotel staff are very friendly, always there to help if you need anything extra

Good, quiet hotel
Villa Ilios is conveniently located, short walk (10 mins) to Fira Bus Stand. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They gave us useful information about what to do while in Santorini and also gave us complimentary water bottles which was very nice of them. The room was clean, spacious and cosy. We had a great stay here and would highly recommend this quiet, family managed hotel. Didnt get a chance to use the pool but it looked perfect for unwinding after a adventurous day @ Santorini.

Good location
Nice little place. Stayed for a wedding where most of the other guests stayed in a massive over-priced resort around the corner (where you don't actually see the caldera unless you're stood on the main road). This place has a quiet pool area and is a 10-minute walk to the centre of Thira for about a fifth of the cost. Standard Greek room. Pillow too hard but air con and fridge were really useful. Not for a family but then Santorini is not a family place. No breakfast but bakeries two minutes either side.

Great Pool
Villa Ilios was a great base for our trip to Santorini. Only. Short walk into Fira and close to restaurants and a supermarket. They have a beautiful pool which was great. The staff there were very helpful and arranged to urgently post us some items we left behind which was amazing!!

Great staff and great value
The family working the hotel were very friendly and willing to help. They accommodated us despite an early arrival, shared local wine with us and told us about its production. The pool was well kept and the mini-fridge in the room was a huge perk. There's also a really great, 24/7 bakery that is just a 3 minute walk up the street. The bus stop to pretty much every bus that goes around the island (except Oia) is just a 1 minute walk from the hotel.

Be warned
I booked online Villa Illios and got confirmation from Hotmail.com, but when I came there in September, I was told, that they did not receive my booking and have no rooms left. It was 7 pm and we had nowhere to go. After arguing I was proposed another hotel nearby of the same owner with lower rating ( (*) instead of (**) ) for the same price - they did find my booking when I showed the proof. First night was just sleepless, because air conditioner did not work, second night in a different room was OK. So, really I can't rate this hotel , because I did not stay at it, but there is no other way to submit a review and warn other people.

Nice family run budget hotel that was clean and comfortable. It was conveniently located about 10 minutes walk from the main centre but as it was located on a main road which caused some noise. Overall I would recommend it for a stay.

Decent hotel for the price
This hotel is pretty nice. Some language barriers with the staff, but it ended up working out. Decent location and short walk to main areas of Fira. Nice breakfast. Rooms are fairly comfortable though the shower is quite small, so may not work if you are a bigger person. Also the bathroom and part of the bedroom flooded after I took a shower on the second day. Decent hotel for the price.

Great location, so so reception
On the good side, this one is centrally located very close to the heart of Firas downtown and buses. Rooms were cleaned thoroughly each day and we got a lift back to the port of departure upon checkout. On the not so good side, our check in was disappointing as we were initially given 2 singles instead of a double despite having made the reservation (which they resolved after we complained). Furthermore, upon our arrival on the island, the villa did not provide us a shuttle and we were stuck rambling for a lift. Lastly, it seemed like the reception did not want to be bothered by guests, and even left us waiting 30 minutes at the desk for checkout. Overall, you do get what you pay for with this one and I would still recommend this villa to a friend.

Nice villa, very worth the money
The villa was clean; the pool very well maintained and the family running the villa was friendly. Contrary to other reviews, I found the bed extremely comfortable and getting out of bed was so hard every morning! However, don't expect hotel-standard service, it is a family-run villa so the service is very personal!
