“Ideal location on the Caldera side of Firostefani. Personally the best area to stay on the island.”
The location was fabulous as had amazing views from the shared balcony where we would enjoy the lovely breakfast provided at a time that we chose. Lovely area to unwind after seeing the beautiful island. Amazing staff who were there to help us when required.

“Ocean View from Blue Dolphin was mind blowing. Great people, hotel and service.”
I don't have any words to explain how much we loved staying at blue Dolphin Hotel in Santorini. We opted for taking their transfer from the Port to the Hotel. The driver was there ahead of time with our name so we could find him easily. The drive to the hotel was amazing. Check-in with Jan was perfect and super easy. We had already paid for the room on booking.com so we got our key and he explained a few things and Jan even gave us a map with all the interesting things to see. Also warned us the water is straight from the ocean so it's good to shower etc but not to consume. They provide two big bottles of water in the room and there is a filter by the check-in office where you can fill up water for free. The family suite was perfect. Jan was able to give us the room a little early and we had communicated our arrival time so they knew and since we had young kids with us we needed to freshen up and relax for a minute. Jan gave us a room that was facing the ocean and it was just mind blowing. The room had two separate bedrooms with one bedroom having a queen bed and another having two single beds which as perfect for the kids. The bathroom was super cute, something right out of the flinstones. Hot water was not an issue and the amenities in the bathroom, the toothbrush. The shower cap. And since they know that a lot of people come to Santorini for photoshoots etc they also have a steam iron in the room and provide slippers for everyone in the room. Oh and we opted for their breakfast. They deliver breakfast to your room and let me tell you this, you will absolutely not be hungry after that breakfast. Fresh yogurt, eggs, toast, jam, olives, honey, various cheeses, coffee. My kids had never experienced this kind of breakfast in a hotel before so they really loved the experience. Thank you to Blue Dolphin for making this great. Overall, I had a great time at Blue Dolphin and all the staff was amazing and the view was something else.

“Perfect!! There’s stairs to and from the main hotel to the street but this didn’t bother us as the whole of Santorini is”
The property views are amazing and exactly what you want when you visit Santorini - we stayed in the romantic sweet & hardly wanted to leave the room as the views were amazing !! - sunset, white buildings & the blue domes. The staff were so helpful and organised everything for us including transfer & called the quad bike rental for us.

The view from there is great, staff was very nice. Our transfer from the airport was super sweet, we arrived earlier and they allowed us to do an early check-in. The breakfast was good as well and the location is pretty good!

“Decent stay, just don't look too closely.”
I had the unique opportunity to stay 5 nights here both in the “Romantic Suite with Private Balcony", then in the flagship honeymoon suite. Had a serious problem with the first room, and management resolved it nicely, thanks for the upgrade. The views are insane—probably the best in all of Fira. Quiet surroundings (private residences), so no booming clubs around. Breakfast is served directly to your room, but the portions are very, very tightly controlled.
