Astir Thira Hotel

Beautiful place lovely people clean and walkable to surrounding area

Pleasant hotel but vey noisy room The ratings are based on the location of the room allocated to me.. The hotel itself is good, it has a pleasant staff and is conveniently located Close to stores and restaurants. I am a solo traveler but booked a more expensive large triple room with one double bed and one twin. Rooms with this layout were on the ground floor and since most hotels here did not have elevators or bell boys I had to choose this because I did not want to hassle with carrying the luggage. I was shocked when I was given Room number 3, right next to the Reception and breakfast area. Outside my front door and bathroom were stairs going upstairs and also stairs going downstairs to the rooms around the pool area. Also the door to one of the wings going to rooms such as mine was near my front door. The WC was also there. Everyone going to their rooms upstairs or downstairs would pass by my room. People also kept their bags/ suitcases near my front door if they were checking out later in the day. There was plenty of activity. My bathroom had a very small shower area with a flimsy plastic curtain and water would overflow. I asked if there was another room available and I was shown room number 2. Wonderful room with a view of the swimming pool outside the front door and it had a tub. The receptionist checked with the owners if she could give me this room but it was denied because it was held for a couple who were arriving the next day and they had stayed here previously.

Great stay! We had a pleasant stay at Astir Thira. Rooms are clean and it has a beautiful pool. It’s a 10-15 mins walk to Fira, which is a nice walk with the view of the caldera.
