“Low class!”

This hotel is right in the middle of town, so it’s very convenient. However, it’s also a very busy/noisy area not to mention pretty stinky from the exhaust. Luckily little of the noise or smell made it into the room.

Our room was actually quite spacious, but very worn. Nails on the wall and stains, but no pictures. Bare bulbs where a light fixture’s cover was removed. The fridge took a whole day to kick in.

The bathroom was clean but the tub was only about 3 feet long, so you could take a sitting bath but not much more. The showerhead was entirely hand-held; there was no holder for it, so you’re showering one-handed. Everything was moderately clean.

The service was friendly, but only as long as no actual work was requested. The lobby stank of cigarettes – probably because the receptionist was smoking behind her desk, even while she was giving us directions.

Breakfast was a low point of our stay here. I don’t ask for much in the morning, but a cup of lukewarm water and a pack of instant coffee is pathetic.

We had to check out very early in the morning. The early breakfast that we were promised never happened. In fact, the night manager was asleep on the couch in the lobby.

This wasn’t worth the 95 Euros/night, even in high season. We won’t stay here again.

“Good Hotel”

Pelican Hotel

10 Apr 2006

I stayed here during the off-season. It was a nice size room and bathroom. There is a balcony you can walk onto. The only thing was housekeeping kept leaving the windows open and it was cold at night when we returned! Freshly prepared breakfast for you. Staff was friendly. Everything in Fira is close walking distance so the location was good. I would stay here again.

Just wanted to share my experience with other tourists. This is a hotel I liked very much. Nice rooms along with friendly service. The hotel is located exactly in the center, so it very easy to go everywhere!

“Excellent Hotel, Great Hospitality”

4/4 found this review helpful

I visited Pelican Hotel on Jan 10, 2006. It is located just in the center of Fira, the capital of Santorini. Simple hotel, but really warm! Excellent service. very friendly staff indeed! I've been there with my partner and it was a nice experience. What we 've enjoyed most was that the guys working there are really very knowledgeable about Santorini, so that they are always able to provide with the correct info concerning the island.

We would cerainly recommend it!!

5/7 found this review helpful

The rooms were very simple, dark and dingy. The hotel was on a main road, which made it loud. But also, the noise from the lobby and hallways carried into the rooms. The pipes in the bathroom leaked and we had cockroaches in our room. It's very hard to believe that this hotel was rated "top end" by the lonely planet!
