Excelent service at hotel! Nice and spacious room. Very well located, walking distance to shops, restaurants, bus station. You can take the bus from airport to hotel for 2 euros, instead a taxi for 15 euros per person. Just two blocks from hotel. They don't have pool or other áreas, but is a nice and small hotel.

Great Hotel in the middle of Fira

We had to book for one night, since our airline moved our flight a day earlier and our other hotel was fully booked. The Hotel is clean, will all of the necessary amenities and right in the middle of the action in Fira. Both of the front desk ladies were really nice and helpful. A top notch property.

A day spa or boutique hotel?!

The most kind and wonderful hosts at reception. Went out of their way to ensure that we were taken care of with travel itinerary (bus schedules, luggage storage) and exceptional cleanliness and ambience entering the hotel.

The hotel is located near the caldera 5min walk, bus station 5-8min walk the streets are not smooth, so make sure you have comfortable shoes and lightweight luggage to walk from the bus station to hotel. People at the hotel was very friendly and hold our luggage until it was time to check in since we arrived at 8am to santorini. We came back around 12 and our room was ready so they let us check in early without any additional charges. They also have a sitting area on the rooftop to enjoy the night with coffee or dinner if you do a take out. Lots of restaurants near by and next to the hotel the restaurant was awesome as well

Good value and clean

Really nice stay at the Pelican Hotel. It was exactly what we expected. The reception staff are very nice and helpful, and our room was extremely clean and fairly spacious (we did not upgrade). We even had a small patio. The room itself was spare but had what we needed. The location didn't have views but was very central, and it was easy to walk to bars, restaurants, and scenic viewpoints. I would say the Pelican was good value. There is a nice looking restaurant attached which we did not have time to try but did have a nice garden.

5 rooms in total were booked, we were having my wedding in Santorini and many of us stayed at the hotel. The staff are super nice and the rooms are very clean. The shower was so nice, the best water pressure I had while in Greece. The location is ideal for Santorini, a 5 min walk to the main bus stop and 10-15 minute walk to the cable cart and the cliff side. The staff also gave us information on the bus and where to book tours, we did a hot spring and volcano tour the day after the wedding. The price cannot be beat for Santorini especially for the location. There are plenty of restaurants and fun night clubs within walking distance. The only thing I can say bad is that there is no safe in the rooms, it is a small staff and family run so I doubt they are willing to risk their reputation and business to steal a few euros or an ipad. I will absolutely be returning and recommend this wonderful hotel.
