We had a fantastic stay, my boyfriends first visit to Greece and he was very pleased. The room had everything we needed, note the stairs up the rooftop were steep and a little tricky but worth it for the view! The location is great just seconds from the main street but still quiet. Breakfast was an extra bonus and superb, delivered to the door daily at a time to suit us. John was an amazing manager, quickly resolved minor issues, made recommendations and was very approachable. Thank you so much.

Stay in Santorini at The Arches
We enjoyed our stay in The Arches as it was super convenient around Oia and was fantastic for 3 days. It was just for sleeping so worked well for us but I can see how the smaller room will be tight for some folks and can be busy given the proximity to bars and shops. John was super diligent and was a great host. We’d recommend for single or couple travelers that are staying for a few days as we had a great stay. Santorini was such a beautiful place!

The rooftop lounge deck with the hot tub in the Marco sanudo suite was magical. Having a glass of prosecco in the tub as the sun sets was epic! The rooftop had a view of the west and north coasts and the church bells nearby. Beautiful. Breakfast was great; it was takeout style from a cafe, delivered at a time that is convenient for you.

Loved my stay at the Arches, the location is the BEST, only a few seconds from the major shopping and tourist streets. The hot tub on the rooftop was superb, the look of the hotel was modern. The host was so kind and very helpful, he comes to get you from the taxi stop and helps with your luggage to and from your room and gave good recommendations and allowed us an earlier check in and later checkout. Complimentary wine, the little kitchenette was a bonus. I would definitely stay here again and I would recommend it to anyone. My only cons: Be aware that there is many cobblestone streets to walk through from the taxi stop to get to the hotel. I wish there was a net to catch some of the little bugs that were floating in the hot tub, and there was a cigarette left over from a previous person in the ashtray on the balcony.

Room was big and clean and secure, but just one street off the main drag of Oia / caldera view. Cute balcony. Somehow felt local despite the tourists going by! Manager very warm and helpful and helped me take my bags to where I needed to be picked up and extended my checkout. Beware - no cars can come in and wheelie suitcases are pretty nightmarish on the cobblestones but as long as you follow Google Maps you only need to haul your bag over the bumps for 2-3 mins. Super comfy bed and good pillows. Really good value.

Super big room and very close to the most amazing spots in Oia. 2 mins or less walk to some of the best photo spots and 5 mins walk to Oia castle and other sunset spots. Breakfast was included and was very good. We had to preselect our option and was delivered to our room early in the morning. The only downside was that we stayed only one night here, would love to come back for a longer stay. Protip: Ask at the reception for dining options, they have very good recommendations.
