I had sent messages through the Hotels.com app requesting an airport pickup, but unfortunately did not receive any response and had to make my own travel arrangements.

The arrival experience could be improved with a warmer welcome, such as offering a welcome drink or water, especially considering the property’s cliffside location.

Other than this, the staff was very helpful throughout our stay. The property itself is excellent, with comfortable rooms, stunning views, and well-maintained facilities. Overall, we had a very pleasant experience.

Absolutely loved our stay at Cliff Side Suites in Santorini! The views were breathtaking, the location was perfect, and the sunsets felt like something out of a movie. Our suite was clean, comfortable, and had that beautiful Santorini charm we were hoping for.

The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, always ready to help with recommendations and anything we needed. We especially loved being able to walk to restaurants, shops, and the famous cliffside paths while still having a peaceful place to relax.

Waking up to the caldera view every morning was unforgettable. Thank you for helping make our Santorini trip so special — we would happily stay here again!

Our room was what we expected. However the stairs are difficult to negotiate and there are a lot of them. If you're handicapped or elderly you may want to discuss this with the hotel to see if they can accommodate you.

Love the breathtaking seaview we receive when we step out of the room. Relaxing and tranquil feeling as we sit on deck chairs enjoying the sun on our face. The room was small but comfortable. The staff were friendly and helped with our luggage as there were many stairs. Found parking nearby. Conveniently located near Fira, we appreciated it is a quieter area. Breakfast is simple but sufficient. It would be nice to have more amenities provided in the room eg tissue paper, toothbrush sets. Bathroom was tight in terms of space.

Cliff Side Suites have some of the best views in Santorini. They are located in a quieter area so the walkways don't get as crowded as they do lower on the mountain.

The beds are very comfortable and our suite was quite spacious. We had a shared balcony but never saw our neighbors. There is so much to do here; sharing a balcony shouldn't be a concern. And the views from our balcony were stunning. We had a sunset photo trip planned but we cancelled it since our balcony was probably as beautiful plus no crowds.

As with virtually all accommodations on the caldera there are a lot of stairs. This is the price we pay for the view. Visitors with mobility challenges shouldn't stay on the caldera. More conventional hotels downtown would be a much better option.

Also, let the guys from the hotel carry your bags from the taxi drop off location. Just call ahead and they will meet you. It makes finding the hotel easier and it will save you a lot of work wrestling roller bags over cobblestones and carrying them down stairs. We tip 5 euros (total) going down and 10 euros going up.
They sure earn it but tipping is not required.
Finally, the staff was wonderful. The Greeks take hospitality very seriously and everyone at Cliff Side Suites made sure we had the best experience possible. If we come back to Santorini we absolutely plan to stay at The Cliffside Suites again.

The hotel is overrated, good view bad service

We booked for a superior double room but the room and service we got was not up to expectation.
We checked in early and we expected that the room was not ready and willing to come back later. The lady at the reception asked us to waited for one hour and check again, we came back and was told the room was ready but the room was a mess. The lady wolfed the house-keeping lady in front of us which is not appropriate and comfortable experience for guests coming for vacation. They asked us to wait for another 20 mins at the hotel.
The room was smaller than we expected and the facilities listed on hotels.com was not accurate at all. The tv in the room was something like a monitor screen (totally not 36 inch flat screen) and they don’t provide slippers as well. WiFi connection was not good.
We just traveled from Oia and paid a room with similar price but the service we got was genuine and friendly there. The whole stay was a disappointment at Cliffside Hitel except for the nice view of the cliff.
I won’t come back again and would not recommend to any of my friends.

Clean spacious rooms with spectacular views. I came to this resort with a broken foot, and the staff were very understanding and accommodating. Lots of steps in this property, like everywhere with a Caldera view in Santorini, so if you have bone or joint problems, just be aware of that. We had wonderful views of the sunset right from our spacious porch and it was just wonderful to relax while taking in the amazing views. The breakfast buffet was wonderful but needs more meat options for folks who don’t eat pork (Muslims and Jews). Lots of good dinning options in the region. Thanks, Sia, Klara, Fiorel and your amazing team!

The property has an excellent view of the caldera. Most hotels that do are built along the cliff so have several flight of stairs you have to climb while navigating through the property. The hotel’s great staff carries your luggage up and down the stairs. It’s quite impressive. The hotel had complimentary breakfast - food was decent but little variation in options from day to day. When we arrived we were given a room that I referred to as a “hobbit hole”. It was tiny (doorway was even small for an average person), no windows other than the one on the door, and two twin beds. It was not what I believed we had booked (note- the room wasn’t bad, just wasn’t what I believe we paid for). When mentioned to the hotel team, they noted the room did fall within the category of a “Superior Double Room”. There was nothing superior about the room and I expected a double bed versus two twin beds. Regardless, the hotel upgraded our room the next night (other rooms weren’t available the first night) to resolve the issue. The hotel has limited amenities and the pool was an average smaller pool, nothing spectacular. The hotel is a 10 minute walk from Fira making it very convenient for visiting Fira or using the bus system. Overall, they have a great team and I recommend the property.

Cliff Side suites did not disappoint! We were there for two nights and we had an amazing stay. We were placed in a room with two separate beds. When I rang reception, they quickly arranged a room for us. Amazing service! The pool is accessible for all guests but we had a jacuzzi outside our room which was just amazing in the day time (got a bit chilly by the evening)!

Location was brilliant with Fira only a 15 minute walk (there are lots of steps but this is to be expected everywhere in Santorini!).

The staff were more than happy to help in planning our hike to Oia and organise our taxi to the airport in the early hours of the morning.

Great stay! Can't thank the staff enough for their hospitality :)

Magnificent views of Santorini are synonymous with top nightly rates. Cliff Side suites definitely delivers when it comes to spectacular location and unforgettable sunsets. But don’t expect much else. Rooms were comfortable, albeit not memorable. Ditto for the service. When you are in the 600 EUR per night territory, attention to details in the services provided should be a given. The pool towels were rather faded and if I were the owner I would not be proud to be showcasing my hotel name embroidered on them. Breakfast service was, to put it mildly, basic. The buffet food presentation just disgraceful. Also, charging extra for a uneventful machine made cappuccino to guests who can afford such upscale prices is just offensive. Overall, I will not remember this property fondly and do not feel comfortable recommending it either.

Santorini is humid, said one shopkeeper in Oia. She was glad the season was over and she could go back to Athens for a few months. Expect clammy sheets. Also, this property has good rooms and unpleasant rooms, some actual caves built into the rock. Be sure to get a room with a private balcony. Then you feel like a king. Expect to climb lots of steps. This is a unique property, not for everybody, but if you get it right, it’s unforgettable.

Santorini experience

This hotel is mostly made from a series of small caves dug into the side of a cliff. A bit like a stylish hobbit-house room. The rooms are deep and fairly cosy with a white/ grey colour scheme and a window and door at the mouth of the cave. The best thing about this hotel is the view which is I think one of the best on the island. Caution for people who have trouble with steps though. There are quite a few and no lifts or disabled access.

NOT an excellent hotel

The hotel was Ok. Just ok. No services, the pool small and secluded, not enough sun beds for everybody. The personnel was fine. 15 minute walk to Thira, Santorini's biggest town. The rooms were large like caves, but the bathroom really small.
The worst part was that we couldn't make for the four nights we reserved only 3 and they charged us the night anyway even though we sent an email advising we weren't going to get there on time. And we had 2 rooms!!! The Wi-fi was terrible. It didn't work inside the room.
The value of what we paid is not worth it. Definitely not staying here again.
And will complain about the night charged again and again.
The only good thing about this hotel was the marvelous view. (almost all hotels have this view)
Definitely not wonderful or excellent.
