Reviews
However, the overall experience was unfortunately marred by the very poor service at the hotel’s main restaurant. At lunch, it consistently took 40 minutes to over an hour just to place an order — and mistakes were frequent. Despite the staff speaking English perfectly well, they seemed indifferent to even the most polite requests. The same issues were present at breakfast: long waits, incorrect orders, and at times missing items that were never brought — with the staff simply saying, “the kitchen is now closed.”
This level of service is really disappointing considering the hotel’s high standards in every other aspect. The breakfast selection itself also lacked quality, and it was often difficult to get a table near the pool due to limited seating.
That said, the fine dining restaurant Botrini’s was a completely different story — excellent cuisine, impeccable service, and a truly memorable gastronomic experience. It deserves full praise.
Another downside is the lack of privacy caused by people from outside the hotel who frequently come to take photos on the stairs and pathways within the property. While understandable given the iconic setting, it can become disruptive — especially when you’re trying to relax in your private jacuzzi and find strangers just a few steps away snapping pictures.
Other positives include the 24/7 WhatsApp concierge service, which was very convenient for making quick requests throughout the stay.
One last thing to be aware of: if you ask the hotel to book a taxi, they charge around €60 per ride — whereas you can easily book the same route yourself for about €30.
In summary, the hotel is an architectural gem with world-class views and amenities, but the service at the main restaurant and breakfast needs serious improvement to match the overall luxury experience.
The place is phenomenal.
1. The views are amazing. I can't quite express how peaceful it is to look out of your own room or hot tub at the horizon.
2. The amenities and hotel are just right—not over the top, understated, and exclusive. It's all luxury. A hot tub in your own room and a terrace overlooking the scene can't be bettered.
3. Best of all are the staff. I can't remember all of them, but from the porters to the general manager, Theodora, everyone is fantastic. It's like staying with extended family who only care that you have an amazing time. Nik and the team at breakfast were awesome (à la carte breakfast btw). George at the restaurant and pool bar wouldn't let you lift a finger. And a special shout-out to the concierge and front-of-house team. Stella had been in touch beforehand to arrange reservations and made awesome recommendations for us, along with Chris-Anna. And a special mention for Sophia, who would see us every day, and gave us a big hug when we left. She also made sure that we didn't make any bad choices on shops or restaurants in Oia or Fira.
If you can afford it and find a free slot, this is the only place to stay in Oia. Restaurants are a maximum of 10 minutes' walk away, but the service is amazing, and you won't have crowds coming into your hotel to ruin your zen.
We stayed for 4 days, early April, at the beginning of the season.
It was a little thing, but it was a bit windy one morning, and before we knew it, Nik had come to offer my wife a shawl. It's those little things that make this place the only place to stay in Oia. I'm sure there are other good places. But this is a banker. For the location, for the calm, but mostly for the friendly service that will guarantee you have an amazing few days of calm.
I must give Panos praise! He was such a delight and incredibly helpful.
