We had a wonderful stay at The Arches. The location is fantastic—just a 3-minute walk from iconic landmarks like the Three Domes viewpoint, and surrounded by plenty of excellent restaurants and cafes. It’s perfectly situated for exploring the heart of Oia.

The host was incredibly communicative and welcoming—a true example of Greek hospitality. He went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, offering helpful local tips and always being available when we had questions.

One of the absolute highlights was the private jacuzzi with a stunning ocean view. Watching the sunset from the hot tub was pure magic—peaceful, beautiful, and unforgettable. It added such a special touch to our stay.

Highly recommend The Arches if you’re looking for comfort, a prime location, and a warm, authentic experience in Santorini.

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.

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!

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.

Everything was great except for the breakfast, I understand per covid 19 restrictions you have to deliver the food in a box, but oh gosh the food was pretty bad. If you are ok eating cold bread and jelly out of a box be my guest, but I really do feel like they could have cooked something up or cut out some fruit at least and put it nicely in a box. Also, when you book the room it clearly states “sea view” but you do not get a view of the sea, I repeat you do not get a view of the sea, the balcony had a view of the other hotel across but no sea view, so that was a bit disappointing. We stayed at the Arkotiri tower maybe the Skaros rock tower has a different view. The room is small has a basic modern touch and they do housekeeping daily which was great. Aside from all that, the operating manager, Kyriakos, was the best! Very nice guy, he helped us with a lot of things without hesitation. He’s the main reason I am giving it the full 5 stars.
Ps. Everything we wanted to see was only a few minutes walk and that was a big plus. Even the blue domes and the church were only like 3-4 min walk away

Stunning stay in Oia

I can’t speak highly enough about this place! The room was lovely, with everything we needed for our stay and it was in a great central location, but the real cherry on top was the private rooftop plunge pool. Bear in mind, you will only have access to this if you book the Marco Senufo suite, but I would definitely say it’s worth the extra cost, especially with the Santorini heat! The rooftop doesn’t have caldera views, but it is a lot more private than many of the terraces we saw and still has nice views of the sea etc.

Central location but bit noisy with public lane out front. I thought it had a rooftop hot tub but this is for a private suite only. Use of chic pool next door made up for it. You have to go to a nearby restaurant for breakfast - be nicer if they served on individual room terraces.
