Golden East

Couldn't be happier with my stay at nataly & Katrins!! Nataly and her father costas were present upon my arrival and greeted me warmly. My room was lovely and cosy and had a lovely sea view! Breakfast available for €10 and set me up well for the day! Very hospitable and willing to help at all times :) would definitely recommend to all - worth having a car as walking along the busy road is a little dangerous as barely any footpaths in santorini anywhere!! But nevertheless a short walk from the views of the caldera and oia and a short car ride to thira! Enjoyable stay and would come again!!

Golden East is a small and warm place to stay. Each "room" is like a semi detached small traditional house with two terraces so you can get sun all day round - or avoid it, depending on the season. You feel at home in the tiniest of the eights room. Wifi is good and support videoconferences with no problem. You can work if needed.Bed is sturdy and comfy, the architecture and decoration of the place is really nice and the view on the sea and morning sunset is wonderful. It is cleaned up everyday. The all place is very clean and tidied up every time.As the hotel is small, the common areas - pool and picnic tables aren't crowdy and always available at breakfast time. Breakfast is served at your place. It is healthy and tasty and Nataly can adjust to your choices which is really nice. Perfectly situated to go everywhere on the island. Nataly and Costas are great and delicate hosts who can help at all time. And Marina the cleaner is very lively and will teach you a couple of greek words and make you smile every morning.We spent a wonderful week.

We booked Golden East as it was good value for Santorini and looked absolutely gorgeous and we weren’t disappointed. We arranged a transfer with Nataly via email from the airport for €25 and were greeted warmly on arrival by Kostas and Katrin. The rooms are perfect; spacious and with gorgeous white and grey decor. The pool area is fantastic and you can have breakfast by the pool if you wish!The hotel is based outside of Imerovigli and not within walking distance of any town, this wasn’t a problem for us as we had decided in advance that we would hire a car which Nataly helped us organise. This hotel is perfect for anyone who doesn’t mind hiring a car/quad/scooter to get out and explore the island and wants somewhere tranquil to return to at the end of the day. There is some traffic noise but the view of the ocean and the wonderful hotel make up for the busy road!To save money, next time we would not pay for a transfer and arrange car hire in advance and drive directly to the hotel, it is only a 15 min drive away! But if you don’t have googlemaps or are nervous about driving on Greek roads I would recommend the transfer to start with!

Its nice property just 5 minutes walk for Caldera view. You can also enjoy the sunrise from the other side of the island. Hosts are great and offered help to book taxi and day tour.

We loved Nataly’s kindness. We had few problems with the quad rent or with the trasport to the port and she was super nice and always there to help.The little villas are very lovely arranged and we appreciated a lot the breakfast served to the room or directly at the pool. The pool was always open for us also after the check out and Natale kept our luggages to enjoy Santorini till the last minute. Vote 10!

This is a great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful island of Santorini without having to stay in a busy town. The rooms are very large, beautiful and comfortable, the breakfast is generous, the pool is heavenly and the service is outstanding. It is just a few minutes walk from one of my favourite views of the caldera (really high up) and the town of Imerovigli, which has very nice cafes, bars and restaurants and is much quieter than Fira. Will certainly come back!

The team at Golden East could not have been better. They did absolutely everything they could to help.Rooms and common areas very clean and tastefully done.The property is a 5 minute walk from the best view of sunset away from crowds in Oia and Fira.Would highly recommend.

My experience was fantastic, the location, facilities and service were amazing. The stuff were incredible and very helpful, always willing to help for our transport around the island. Everything nice, clean and the pool was magnificent.

We liked just everything, super welcoming people and great place to stay, gret positive vibs, great location to enjoy your quite but at the same time close to everything you need... ideal to enjoy a nice break in Santorini, we will definitively go again and recommend it!!!

We stayed for 6 nights at Golden East Hotel in Oct. The hotel is charming and lovely.You can choose the breakfast from the list and it's nice to have it at private terrace. The swimming pool was also a nice looking although I didn't go in, but my daughter enjoyed sitting at the pool side.Imerovigli is easy to access to Thira (Fira) and Oia. We did a nice walking for 45 mins to get to Thira and nearly 2 hours walking to Oia on another day. If you drive, it took only 10 min to Thia and 20 min to Oia. Usually you can reach to any places in around 20 minutes by car. Kamari beach and Pygros were also beautiful and highly recommend to visit these places. I think it is very convenient location to see entire island.This hotel is the back side of the beautiful sea view, so you can't see the amazing view from the hotel although you can see the other side of sea view. If you want to see the special view (sun set) from the hotel, you can find the hotel on the other side of the road, but you have to pay more than double or triple the price. Since we were out most of the days and not the type of people who stay at the hotel for the most of days, it was perfect for us for this lovely hotel for this reasonable price.The highlight and the reason for the 5 stars are hotel staffs, especially the hotel manager, Natalie and her father. They are really nice people and very helpful. You don't find that kind of genuinely warm-hearted people easily. They are friendly and want to help. I'm really touched by their kindness and I really feel great to meet them.
