Pansion Zaharoula — Hotel in Municipality of Thira

The pansion is a family owned business housed in a place that belonged to the family for generations. First of all, we need to thank the couple, Irene and her husband, who run the pansion. They are the nicest, most helpful people we met in a while. We were picked up from the airport for free (a taxi would be between €15 and 20) and had a very warm welcome. Irene also explained the island to us, gave us an island map and bus timetable. Also, they organized the Quad rental for us. The list of things they did for us could go on much longer. We had one of the smallest rooms in the pension and it still was very spacious. The bathroom was rather small and had a bad smell to it. However, we are not sure whether this is the fault of the owners or not. In our room there was an AC, a fridge and kitchen utensils for breakfast, which we used daily. We didn't have a mosquito net like some beds in the pictures do. That's why mosquitos were a real pain to us. It would be great if they could provide something against them. As for the street noise, we closed the windows during the night so that the street was only a quite background noise. That you can reach the city center only via the busy street is not true. We used the small walking paths through the neighborhood, which was extremely nice and only took us 10 minutes. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay, and for Santorini this is the best value you could get for the...

This is my second stay at Pension Zaharula. The first time was with my daughter in 2018. This time I brought the entire family. The price is great for what you get and the location is central to all Fira has to offer. The rooms are spacious, extremely clean, and quiet. Our hosts, Irene and her husband, are very friendly and helpful. They get you the best deals on transportation, rentals, restaurants, and general advice on what to see while in Santorini. My son and his girlfriend said they will definitely be staying here again when they come back to Santorini. If you're an American or any other English speaking tourist looking for a great place to stay, look no further! Pension Zaharula has...

I had a great stay here, the negative reviews are completely exaggerated. The rooms have everything you need and are spacious/comfortable. The location is good enough if you're on a budget; as it's only a brief walk to the town centre. As for the noise, I stayed in the street level room and didn't have a problem with noise at all. People need to understand that they're booking in the busiest part of Santorini and that nights don't end until the next morning. The best part about the place was that Irene was the sweetest person ever; she waited for me to arrive late at night and made sure that I had everything I needed for the next day. All in all, it was a very pleasant...
