“A stay here presents a conundrum. While the staff's attentiveness is a highlight, reports of infestations raise serious concerns about comfort. The views are indeed appealing, making the property visually striking. However, I would suggest further investigation before booking.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Golden Star offers great value with its modern and clean rooms, many finding the facilities excellent. The spacious pool area is a highlight, providing comfortable seating, and the hotel's location is convenient for exploring Fira; it's a short walk to the main area and close to landmarks like the Three Bells of Fira. Some guests have mentioned the soundproofing could be better, but overall, the hotel provides easy access to buses, markets, and restaurants, with some rooms offering sea views, albeit towards the airport side.

The lack of an elevator was quite inconvenient. The location is too far from the center, requiring a steep walk. I also found the distance to be a problem when carrying luggage.

Inadequate Air Conditioning and a Sketchy Stair Railing

inadequate air conditioningsketchy stair railing
I probably won't book the Maisonette room again. The upstairs area didn't have enough height. I wasn't able to stand up straight near the bed, and the air conditioning wasn't strong enough for the summer heat. The upstairs railing and stairs were very short. It felt unsafe going down the stairs because I had to bend over and the handrail was low.
