Host Kostas’ attention to details was excellent from pre and during the visit. Room was clean and comfortable. Restaurant recommendations were great. Location was convenient for some key scenic points. I would happily recommend staying at this place.

More than met our expectations .. highly recommend

More than exceeded our expectations. Very accommodating and helpful staff and a perfectly comfortable and nicely presented room. The upstairs jacuzzi and sun loungers that came with our suite were great and it is an oasis of tranquility just metres away from the Caldera view madness and cruise ship hordes.
Loved our stay here
Nice comfortable clean and well presented room

We had a lovely stay at the Arches Hotel. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They allowed us a later check in and replied within minutes if we ever messaged. The location is amazing! Right in the heart of Oia. Easy access to the busses and very easy for a shuttle or taxi to pick up and drop off.

10/10 Exceptional

We had an awesome stay. Kosta was a super host who made sure we were well taken care of from check in to check out. The room was nice and clean. It was in the heart of things and everything was accessible. The only downside was that there was not a smart tv in the room. But all in all we would stay there again and recommend to other guests. 10/10

The Marco Sanudo suite was lovely. Sweet ocean breeze, views of Aegean and church, close to main path but pretty quiet, kind host and cleaning services.

The hotel manager John is definitely the best part about staying at this hotel. He is extremely knowledgeable and helpful in guiding us on our stay with multiple recommendations. Also, the hotel is right on the main area with great views from the rooftop area.

Very central in Oia, opened our door and we were right in the heart of things but still very peaceful. Very helpful host. Well decorated and relaxing atmosphere.
Emma, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Everything was great and especially the location was awesome, right there next to everything in Oia. Service by John (Giannis) was excellent as well. Booked car and transfer to port with him and he was great.
