Reviews of Hotel Mathios 3 stars

The management and staff were super friendly and helpful. The hotel is so clean and tidy and we ate in the restaurant a few times as it was good traditional food. We hired a little fiat panda, from the hotel travel agency, and zipped about the island in the mornings before it got too busy and hot. It was a fab week, highly recommend!

Not really a dislike, but to note that the hotel is on a busy road. Luckily our room was in the back, so we didn't notice the road noise.

The pool was perfect and refreshing. The restaurant on site is delicious!! The entire place is so clean! They really care about the property and its upkeep and it shows proudly!

This is very minor because it was an experience in itself- but the stairs to the bedroom were very steep and narrow. Just had to be careful. Again very minor but did make me nervous at times.

Very clean, comfortable stay

Food was a little basic but perfectly edible

Clean

Beds were uncomfortable. Breakfast was only average

This was my 6th time visiting Santorini. I was traveling with my family. We loved the rooms, the location( we aren’t into touristy areas), the pool, restaurant and delicious breakfast! If you rent a car, you have access to the island since it’s small. Kostas is very knowledgeable! He helped us with our travel to Athens and Turkey. I miss Hotel Mathios and wish I was back! Thank you Kostas, we will be back! My daughter cried the night before we left! She wanted to stay!

Nothing.. We loved it all!

We were in Santorini and we are really fortunate to have booked Mathios. We were really blown away by the great service, amazing food and the extremely friendly nature of the staff. Special mention to Mr Kostos who went out of the way to make our stay memorable by helping us book the best of best and most exquisite tours. He was so kind that he dropped us personally to the airport as a favor. Thank you Mr Kostos and Mathios team to make this trip really the best one until now.

Very quiet, very clean ,good location to village,loved the cats visiting us.

Although rooms say sea view the view is far away in the distance you need a car to get to a beach.

Hotel was pristine clean. Towels and bed sheets were changed every other day. Breakfast was good quality, although the variety stayed the same. Pool was clean and pleasant. Food in the restaurant was good, although we ate there only occasionally. The famous Red beach is 30 minutes walk from the hotel. Also, quite close is the Akrotiri museum, which is worth visiting, if you’re interested.

Sadly, the location was not the best for us, as we didn’t have a car. We quite liked “Perissa” beach but to get there without a car meant to book taxi every day(be prepared, that they are quite expensive in Santorini). The second option was by changing two buses but the 15 minutes ride by taxi would take us nearly 2 hours as there was long gap between both buses. It is extremely hot at that time of year and there are barely any trees to give shade on the bus stops. Also, if you prefer to walk, be prepared to do so on the busy main road as there are no pavements at all. You need to bring as well your own towels or get towels from the hotel for an extra charge. There is lots to do in Santorini such as catamaran trip, bus tour highlights of Santorini with wine tasting and sunset in Oia etc but if you prebook ahead of your visit to Santorini, you can get them for much more reasonable price.

Very clean

Nothing

Everything

Professional management, nice staff, good location, cleanness.

The hotel was good and in a good location , and near the famous Red Beach and another, which provided a good view. I also kostas is really helpful and friendly and all the staff as they were nice and kind throughout my stay, which made my stay quite nice and comfortable.

The only thing I didn't like is that we didn't have a choice in what we ate as the buffet was very limited and dinner was determined by the hotel meaning some foods were kind of repeated which we disliked and in the end we were sick of the same starters.

Close to the wedding venue. Market & atm next door. Breakfast good!

On main road. Noisy & limited parking.Pool was only open from 10am-6pm. Should extend the hours! Guy tried to sell us tour when we first arrived when all we wanted to do was shower & sleep. Beds were small & not that comfortable.

The tranquility of the hotel - set by the village in Akratori. You can walk to the archeological site and red beach The pool is clean. I would recommend that the hotel consider putting an outside shower by the pool so that swimmers can use before entering the pool. The buffet breakfast was plentiful and had a variety of items on offer. The hotel was very clean and towels were changed daily. The rooms were airy and had pleasant terraces.

The added extras - you pay 3 euros for a pool towel and the price of the airport transfer seems higher than other quoted prices.

Walking distance to Arkotiri archeological site. Nice breakfast On the island bus route.

Exorbitant hotel charge for transportation to/from ferry port. The food at dinner was not very good. The hotel host was somewhat aggressive promoting additional, optional hotel charges.

The host was great. Every suggestion was spot on. When we had a mixup with our car rental he handled it out of pocket. We will definitely be back in the future.

Spotlessly clean hotel. Very comfy bed and the pool was fab. Breakfast and restaurant very good. Akrotiri is a lovely and interesting village. Short walks get you to the castle, the beach and an amazing experience at the excavations of an ancient city. Local restaurants, mini markets and a few gift shops were very handy. More bars and restaurants down at the sea front, with boat trips to the red, white and black beach were excellent. A great bus service runs hourly from Akrotiri to Fira and public transport was very reliable.

On our first day we were summoned by the receptionist to see the manager, Kostas. (The experience reminded us of The Apprentice with Kostas being Alan Sugar.) We did not want or need the 'travel agency' advice given, nor the cash only payment expectations, with premium added, for cars, boat trips and transfers etc. We were then no longer of any interest to the management team. The pool bar and cafe closed from 2.30 until 6.30 every afternoon. However buying drinks and refreshments from the well stocked mini market next door to drink by the pool was not allowed and at times led to admonishment. Constructive reviews are not well accepted.
