Every now and then a budget hotel earns its place on a shortlist by simply doing the basics very well, Hotel Lodos, in Santorini, is one of those. The strong location score reflects what guests actually feel on arrival, barely a stroll from the centre of Santorini, with the kind of rhythm a city traveller tends to want. Rooms feel modest; the touches travellers mention most are on-site parking and reliable wi-fi, and the comfort feedback has been uneven. The numbers behind the reviews tell their own story, around 940 reviews, scoring strong on balance. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Expect to pay something in the region of €65 a night, a strong-value entry on the board, especially when stacked against nearby alternatives. Stack Hotel Lodos against the better-known names in Santorini and the trade-offs become genuinely interesting.
