This is a quiet relaxing place to stay even with its close location to the airport, the hotel is about 10 minuets from Kamari centre the taxi cost To... read more come back was €10 but that was at 1am getting there speak to Nicolas he’ll probably take you there. You will find Nicolas a very genuine and help guy, what ever you need from general information to arranging car / scooters and quad bike hire delivered and collect to your door. If you like clean tidy places to stay you can not fault this hotel providing clean towels and and a full change of bedding every day. I would definitely stay again now I’m familiar with the location of the closest supermarket to get groceries beer and wine from and bars that aren’t an arm and a leg to drink in.wslk down the front as far as you can go to a small beach bar draft €4 a pint

  First impressions of Louis Studios was positive. We were picked up from the airport, as agreed, which was very helpful. We were a party of 10, requiring four... read more rooms; two family rooms and two studios and were in Santorini for one of my daughter's wedding. The rooms were basic but adequate and the pool was of a good size and clean.

We had three children with us aged one, two and five. The studios are advertised as being family friendly. On the second day my youngest grandchild was sick on the sheets. My husband took the sheets off the bed, washed them and hung them on the washing line. The owner's mother, Anna, intervened and my husband was subjected to a barrage of verbal abuse. I could hear her shouting at my husband from my room! She accused the children of being dirty and soiling the sheets with chocolate biscuit and sun tan lotion. Children are children and they do touch things when they have eaten and therefore to describe themselves as family friendly is inaccurate. I inspected the sheets and there was minimal soiling which should be solved by a normal wash. Two of our t-shirts and two hats were ruined by being stained yellow from the chlorine in the pool so I suspect this could have something to do with the stains on the bed. My husband offered to pay for the sheets but again he was subjected to shouting abuse - honestly you couldn't make it up. This made for a very uncomfortable stay in the studios. After this Anna delivered some pool towels to my daughter's room and we were by the pool watching. She couldn't gain access so slammed the towels down on a chair with such anger it was laughable. Anna then ignored us for the remainder of the time which suited us.

To minimise any soiling of the room in any way we tried to eat outside on the patio but we were inundated with flies. They really do have a problem with flies.

If you are thinking of going here with children please bear in mind there is absolutely nothing here for them except for the pool.

There is nothing around the near vicinity of the studios except a small mini market which is owned by the owners of Louis Studios. There is a beach a five minute walk away but it's not a nice beach so we didn't stay there. There is nowhere to have breakfast etc except a hotel on the beach where you can get lunch or dinner albeit a bit pricey. There is a bus service but I heard this was not very reliable. The price of taxis is exorbitant I.e. a 7 minute ride into Kamari was 10 euros each way. The cost to go into Thira was about 25 euros.

On the penultimate day of our holiday the owner said that he had overbooked our room and asked that we move in with our daughter and her two children for our last night. We agreed as he offered us the room on our last day until we left for the airport. This, of course, was not ideal. I would have preferred to pay for an extension of the room. I have no idea what he would have done if we had refused. However, we are reasonable people and thought this would be the fairest solution for everyone.

My husband had to collect a wheelchair for my father and Anna's husband (I think) was kind enough to take him at a cost of 15 euros but he didn't charge him to take it back which was kind of him.

So, to summarise:

1. This is a good base for adults but you will need a car.

2. There is nothing for children and woe betide you if you spill something on the sheets.

3. Taxis are expensive.

4. Very little around the hotel.

5. Be prepared the rooms may be overbooked.

This probably sounds like a harsh review but it is honest. Please judge by my previous reviews of other hotels and you will see that I have always been fair and honest.

If I ever go back to Santorini I will avoid Louis Studios and book elsewhere.
