Average place for a short stay

We stopped in Santorini for 2 nights before we take our flight. Nice place for a couple of days but nothing too special. The views were amazing of course but breakfast was below average. The pool was freezing and the kids couldn't enjoy it at all. The rooms were nice and clean but overall they were too expensive for what they offer

Spectacular View

If you are looking for a Caldera view hotel that Kafieris Blue Studios might suit your needs. If you have walking problems than consider an inland hotel or villa out of the Caldera. This hotel offers different configuration of beds on their 4 levels of rooms. The view in unobstructed from every level except the one above the pool. If they eliminated the 4 or 5 umbrellas on the view side it would enhance the overall views provide unobstructed views. The rooms are not the Hilton or Marriott level If that's what you are looking for, but fair for the price. The maid staff and Hassan who serves you breakfast wherever you like, either on the private balconies or on top of the pool are extremely helpful. The breakfast is reasonable and they did cook our eggs they way we liked each day. Overall, a pleasant experience and I would recommend this hotel to others looking for Caldera view hotel.

Loved it

Such a lovely hotel, my partner and I had a wonderful 4 day stay here. The hotel itself is in a fantastic location (of course a few stairs are involved going up and down!) but this results in amazing views and of course stunning sunsets. It feels boutique and independent, the pool is great, the staff are all lovely. It was just ideal. Would absolutely stay again.

Lovely hotel, accommodating owner and staff

Honestly if I could I would give this hotel 3.5 stars so I had to choose between 3 and 4. It really is a lovely hotel with incredible views of the caldera, which is why we chose it. It is small and family run, much like the other hotels on the island. We were traveling as a family of 5 and it is quite expensive to get 2 rooms everywhere we go so I was excited that Kafieris Blue offered a large suite that could sleep 5-6 people. I have no idea where a 6th person would have gone as we were very tight but it worked. We felt a little as though we were at summer camp as the beds were connected to the walls and one of them was up higher, almost like a bunk bed. Overall, in addition to the views, the hotel was very clean and the owner and staff were very friendly and accommodating. Hassan worked his fanny off every day serving breakfast to each traveler and carrying luggage up and down all those stairs. Many reviewers have complained about breakfast but we didn't have any issues. The first day they brought so much (OJ, hard boiled egg, eggs sunny side up, cheese, meat, breads, croissants, jams, honey etc, greek yogurt, various fruits, etc) we asked them to bring less after that and customized our selection a bit for our tastes. They were happy to accommodate our requests and remembered them from one day to the next. My biggest complaint would be the view from our room in particular. I don't know if it's because we were in a large suite and they all happen to be on the ground floor or what but we mainly looked out at the pool and had to actually go out to the pool to get the beautiful caldera views. Many of the views posted by other reviewers are from rooms up higher, which is what I was expecting since the listing said "caldera view". I feel that any rooms assigned from the ground level and the one we got in particular should be listed as "pool view". The other hiccup we had was that we had dinner reservations at a top restaurant in town that I had booked months prior. We scheduled the transfer service the hotel offers and they were 25 minutes late. they kept telling us the driver was 5m away and he finally showed up. Fortunately the restaurant still honored our reservation but we had to cut our table time short and were rushed through dinner. Overall the location is pretty good, although Fira is a solid 15 walk away and Oia is several hours walking or a long bus ride. If we were to visit Santorini again we would probably stay in Fira or Oia and would make sure to have a room with a view.

Good and bad

I would give these studios a score of 10 out of 10 for the wonderful views of the Caldera you get from them and for the lovely walks along the coastal path which runs above the premises. Each studio has a small outdoor seating area where you can sit and look at the amazing views and watch the sunset. BUT there are a few negatives , mainly breakfast, which was dire ! I would hesitate to give it a score of 2 out of 10 . Instant coffee, diluting juice, a few bits of bread and a couple of brick hard pears.This is served to your table on a tray and is the same every morning . I didn’t bother having any after the first morning although my partner persevered as there were also 2 boiled eggs and a small dish of yogurt on offer . We bought take away coffees from the lovely cafe at the top of the steps every morning . Mentioning steps- there are lots of them . Not a problem unless you have mobility issues or a baby buggy . The studios are spotlessly clean but very basic . There is a coffee machine but no coffee supplied. The kettle is a problem as the handle and on/off switch heated up to boiling point with the water. The pool area is lovely but the pool itself was freezing . I swam in the pools in the other two hotels we stayed in on Santorini but not this one and I love to swim. I would have been in it if the temperature had been bearable. Even with the wonderful views I would not want to stay in this property again . It is not cheap and the the breakfast, basic rooms and freezing pool were very disappointing . .
