We stayed at the Blue Dolphin last month and I'm not sure we stayed at the same hotel as described by previous contributors. While the hotel is comfortable and the staff are pleasant and helpful (a special shout out to Niki who was very very kind and offered much helpful advice and assistance) there are a couple of negatives. First and foremost, the hotel can only be accessed (at least when we were there) via very steep steps, so anyone with any disability or those who have mobility issues will likely have much difficulty navigating the steep descent to the hotel, even more so when having to climb up the incline when leaving the hotel. Another difficulty is the center of town is quite a walk from the hotel given a steep walk - great walking into town downhill, but rather a strenuous walk uphill - especially on the cobbled streets/pavements. Certainly no need to book time at the gym if you stay here! Another minor point: breakfast is included and it was kindly delivered to our room each morning; though it was fairly basic and was exactly the same each morning. While thankful for the meal, it would have been a nice touch to have changed the ingredients every now and again. Also, I'm not sure if it was due to the off-season or construction, but there was no bar, restaurant, lounge area etc. at the hotel during our stay. Also, during the time of our stay there was ongoing construction in very close proximity to the hotel, literally just feet away from our room, which meant many loud workers and machinery starting work around 7.30am. While I understand the need to do this work in the off-season, it would have been nice for the hotel to have given us notice of the disruption at the time of booking. And, given that donkeys were used to transport heavy material to and from the site, helpful to have given warning to take much care traversing the steep steps that were littered with donkey poop. While our stay was enjoyable and the staff pleasant and helpful, I'm afraid I will look for alternative accommodation when next we return to Santorini.
