Agave Santorini Design Boutique Hotel

We had a very similar experience as the previous reviewer ‘sternvil’. It was very disappointing, and the walk to the hotel was littered with garbage, etc. There were always motorbikes coming and going, and parking right outside our room. We were booked for room with breakfast, but there was no breakfast! Our room was tiny, the floors were painted concrete, even the bathroom which always got wet from the shower, which made it very slippery. Would not recommend this hotel.

All I heard was how beautiful Santorini is and how amazing the views are from the hotels. If that’s what you are expecting that’s a big reason to ovoid this place. The pictures on their site and others are false advertising. Let’s start with the walk to the “Boutique” hotel. You are not off the caldera walk. You must walk inside it through a path littered with beer can and garbage. The hotel is directly across from an abandon building which is an eye sore. If you don’t have a room on the top floor you will have no view of the beauty below. We had top floor room 1. We arrive and we’re informed there was no reception personnel for the day! Note we never saw anyone for 4 nights!!!! We were greeted by the cleaning women who very little english! The room wasn’t ready as we were early but that was ok. But when room was ready we entered and were overwhelmed by the smell of raw sewage. Yes raw sewage! The room was so small we would pass each other. The shower doesn’t have hot water until you turn on the heater! The water from both shower and sink was salt water!!!! The first night I put on the electric to heat the water. 5 minutes later all the lights went out. It turned out to be a grid failure for about 2 hours. Yet here’s the thing. All the out door lights were on, and the occupied rooms and reception all had lights! Why is this? They had emergency back up and room 1 did not! We’re we offered anything? Nope! 3 days later I get text saying the power will be done for 2 hours. Ok fine the. I ask did you replace battery in emergency back up again no they didn’t and nothing offered to make us happy! Outside each room are rusted buckets to capture the water from the AC units. Not outside our room! Night one we came back to a puddle outside our door! I had to take a bucket from another room for reminder of stay! As for the view it was ok but obstructed by the power lines and of course that abandoned building below! I’d avoid this place!

Couple - Room number 7 Pros: - Receptionist is really friendly and helpful - Location is nice - Breakfast is cool and different - Shower is amazing - AC is strong - Close to the Bus station - Clean Cons: - You have like 3 minutes walk to reach the taxi with all the luggage - No view at all from our room - An old building in front of the hotel - Mattress is so stiff and not comfortable - Terrace is shared - Walls are thin and you could hear a lot of noises The professional images/website could give you a wrong impression of the place. It's not luxurious, it's basic.
