The room was comfortable and full of character in keeping with local style of building. As there were only seven rooms at the hotel, service was very personal and friendly. Very quiet and calm. Breakfast served every morning to room with wide choice was great. Great views to the east of the island and about a 200 yd walk to the Caldera view. Maria was extremely helpful and very pleasant

Although breakfast is provided there is no restaurant on site and no pool bar as advertised on web site. There is a taverna approx 200m away and the town of Imerovigli is about a mile away along the cliff path or busy road. Although taxis are available they are expensive and we decided to hire a car as otherwise would have felt isolated being here for a week. if you are staying for two/ three days and just want to see the main town and Oia this may not be so important. we frequently went to Kamari which is a twenty minute drive for beach and choice of bars/ restaurants. Be aware that the bedroom is a mezanine floor accessed by a narrow spiral staircase which may not be suittable for those with any physical impairment.

Golden East is a hidden gem. It had spectacular view, very nice room with all amenities. It was cleaned daily. Breakfast served every morning.The staff were awesome since before joining and until we left. They made taxi arrangements from and to the airport and even looked for a car rental. We had a short time and they booked a luxury semi private cruise.Awesome and highly recommended.

Everything was perfect. Only 1 recommendation the honeymoon suite balcony if it can be covered by a shade as early sunrise is direct sun. Maybe only a simple parasol can work.

Quiet location. Away from the crowds. Spectacular sunset and sunrise views. Scenic walk to main town of Imerovigli. Plenty of restaurants, mini markets and fashion shops there. Ilios bakery do food delivery to the accommodation. Amazing pool available for the guests. Housekeeping kept place nice and fresh daily. Manager George provided us with a suite of options upon welcome and arrival. Delicious daily breakfast. Walk around 25 mins to bus stop to Imerovigli which goes to Thira/Fira. From Fira, buses take you to all of the spectacular and unique beaches and islands attractions.

Can be tricky if you don’t have a car and you have young children.

George met us on arrival and explained everything clearly, gave us the keys and an intro to the hotel & the island with recommendations. Good size room and very clean, nice chilled out pool area and just generally a nice hotel. Nothing fancy but everything we wanted & needed. Breakfast delivered to your room every morning was nice. George also helped us with car rental and other assistance which was really appreciated and just in general all the staff were friendly and welcoming.

Only thing I'd say is it's a little bit away from any restaurants and bars, it's approx 25 min walk along the cliff path to Imerovigli which is fine and nice places there! Otherwise would recommend a car or other vehicle to get around the island.

Everything about our stay at Golden East was excellent! Nataly and her staff were friendly and helpful! We were so comfortable in our spacious rooms, comfy beds, a/c, pool, and lovely breakfast each morning! We would definitely stay here again!

The only thing that we didn’t like was how far it was to Oia and Fira. While we enjoyed hiking, it was difficult to find food/conveniences in the immediate area. This would not deter us from staying here again as it was a very enjoyable place but perhaps next time we will rent a car or scooters!

Beautiful view. Nice small hotel, quiet. Nice pool. Nice breakfast with lots of choices served to your own patio. About a half hour walk along the trail to get to the nearest village, Imerovigli. This is a beautiful walk with incredible views if the caldera. At times we called for a taxi, and always had a quick response for pickup.

Hotel is located on a busy road. It was necessary to walk along the road to find an entrance to get to the trail which connects the villages. We did not get much direction from hotel staff as to where was best to join the trail. On our last day we found a side trail which took us to a driveway right next to the hotel, wish we had been told about it by staff. Approximately 15 min walk along the road to get to the bus stop. This location might be best for someone who is renting a car. We did not rent a car, walked a lot and utilized both taxis and the bus.

Staff couldn’t do more for you, extremely helpful, gave great recommendations and were very attentive. The pool is lovely and refreshing and the room (honeymoon suite) very comfortable. Location wise, everything on the island is within an easy drive, a car is definitely recommended.

Whilst the pool is very refreshing, it’s not heated so does get quite cold.

Our host, George, was so welcoming and accommodating. Helped orient us to Santorini, arranged transfers to/from airport and ferry and made sure our breakfast was at a convenient time each morning. Breakfast was delivered to our terrace - a really lovely bonus. Beautiful seaside view with pool! Connects right onto Fira-Oia hike path and a 15-20 minute walk into Imerovigli. We appreciated how quiet the area was as it’s a bit removed from the hustle and bustle of the busier towns.

Great view of sunrise. The best sunset spot is also close by, just on the other side of the hill. Chance to choose the content of your breakfast, which is delivered to your room. Good and quiet location, if you have a rental car. Friendly staff and nice pool. The honeymoon suite was a good choice.

Quiet and chill~ the room and the pool is clean. Hotel staff and owner are nice~

You better have a car if u live in this hotel. If you want to go to Fira, the closest bus stop is in imerovigli where u need to want 30mins from the hotel, but the view along this path is very beautiful~ if u come back by bus, that would be better, u can take the bus in Fira toward Oia, and get off in KTEA bus stop, then u only need to walk 10-15mins along the road ( no see view).
