Cons -
- CLIFF is the key word!!! Way too many steps (very steep) to get from place to place. No hairdryer. Not enough water supply in the morning Breakfast buffet is less than average. It is overpriced and overrated
- The pool is really cold, and small
- The jacuzzi water was cold and probably should be heated.

It’s beautifulGreat viewsGreat location

Cliff Side Suites was even better than their profile describes. Our family had two rooms, a suite and a double bedroom, both overlooking the breathtaking view of the Santorini caldera. There is a hotel pool and you can order drinks and food there, in addition to the daily poolside breakfast which offered great options that fed our variety of tastes. Firostefani is peaceful and not too crowded, unlike Oia and Fira, both of which we visited. Stratigoula at the reception desk helped us book a very fun catamaran tour of the crater, helped us make dinner reservations for outstanding meals, and otherwise the hotel was so relaxing and beautiful we just hung out there a lot. If you want to see the beauty of Santorini without pressing crowds or lots of logistics, Cliff Side Suites is ideal.
Overall a great experience and beatiful views! Location was great!
The jacuzzi water was cold and probably should be heated.
Staggeringly beautiful view. Fantastic staff.
It’s got a lot of stairs but hey, it’s “cliff side” in Santorini!
Cliff Side Suites is a beautiful hotel, with beautiful views. It is also well situated, with excellent restaurants near by and a 15-minute (through arduous because of the hills!) walk to Fira. Our room was spacious and well appointed. The staff was very nice and responsive. I would recommend it. One note: Anything you do at the hotel requires climbing stairs (going to breakfast, arriving to/leaving the hotel). The staff will carry your luggage for you, so do not hesitate to call the hotel when you arrive at the top of the hill!!. But if you have bad knees, this may not be the place for you, unfortunately :(
Our room did not have a view. I wished I had known that when I booked it. That being said, we did have a small terrace with a view we could use, but it necessitated exiting the room and climbing stairs. Not a deal breaker, though. I would return.
Absolutely amazing location and views!
A bit sparse in the decor, very minimalist. Didn’t quite feel cozy and warm but nice. Bathtub didn’t have a stopper so couldn’t soak in the tub after all the walking and ran out of hot water each day pretty quickly. Only a tea pot and tea provided in the room, had to buy some instant coffee, would have loved an actual coffee maker.Breakfast eggs were usually made in mass order and came out lukewarm, but otherwise nice breakfast selection. The plunge pools were cold and as the weather turned chilly , a hot tub setting would have been wonderful. I would still recommend staying here , especially with the privacy, less crowds than busy OIA, cute town within walking distance. If you have mobility issues don’t stay here, lots of steep steps to get to the room. You get a workout everyday just heading in or out! Gorgeous sunsets.
The views are amazing, especially during the sunset. There are lots of areas to sit whether it be on the rooms patio or a common space. This property has a ton of stairs. There is quite a few going down to the reception and then more going down to the rooms and pool. There is breakfast offered at a cost but I didn’t try it. This property is in the heart of Firostefani. There is tons of restaurants and shops nearby as well as the start to the hike to Oia. Definitely bring more water than you think you need. The staff are super helpful with organizing transportation, giving recommendations for food, tours, buses, and carrying luggage. Everyone works really hard and are constantly carrying food, luggage, bottles of water up and down all the stairs. Rhe water in Santorini is not drinkable. There is a bottle of water provided in your room on arrival and then you need to ask for more when you run out.
The pool could be warmer. It was about the same temperature as the oceans. It also would be nice to have more water added in the room when it’s being cleaned.
Beautiful views from our balcony area. Clean room. Staff were very nice and accommodating. We enjoying sunset from our balcony.
The location was great, close to everything. The view was spectacular and the facilities (pool, bar, terraces) were nice. The entire staff were very nice and extremely accommodating. We were also allowed to store our bags until check in. We would highly recommend and would stay again.
Cliff Side Suites was truly the highlight of our trip. This property is so special—perfectly located in Firostefani, away from the heavy crowds in Oia but still close to amazing restaurants, shopping, and attractions. The views, especially at sunset, are unlike anywhere else in the world. We loved having access to the pool, jacuzzi, and breakfast buffet, as well as plenty of space to simply relax and take it all in. The staff made the experience even better with their warmth and hospitality. From check-in to check-out, they were friendly, attentive, and full of helpful tips (even teaching us a few Greek words!). They went above and beyond, upgrading our room for the entire stay, which was such a wonderful surprise. Our suite carved into the cliff was cozy, unique, and perfectly balanced comfort, luxury, and authentic Cycladic charm. Amazing service, beautiful setting—an unforgettable stay.
Perfect location, stunning views from our balcony and other parts of the hotel.
The only thing I would suggest, is to improve the breakfast variability. Other than that nothing to complain about.
It was wonderful. This really is the view from the room. Probably the most comfortable bed on our two week vacation. Everything was clean and the air conditioning was valuable! Staff was helpful with the luggage from the drop off point to our room - and back out. Which was an added bonus due to the stairs and enchanting streets.
Anywhere else, I might complain about the stairs but in Santorini, it’s expected! (“Everyday is leg day” should be the islands moto).
First off, Cliff Side Suites went above & beyond to meet me and my sister’s needs. If you’re impatient, dramatic & high-end person that pays to get what you deserved (whether it’s a romantic honeymoon, a girls trip or family trip); you should definitely consider staying here.The management, customer service, greeting & clean team was extremely amazing. I can’t say enough good things about this place and haven’t met people that cares so much for quality rather than quantity.With how stressful and tired we were with traveling between Italy & Greece, Christopher with management (online booking/marketing) ensured that we had a car waiting at the airport even with a 20 minutes to an hour short of a notice. He made sure we weren’t overpaying & were well treated. Georgie greeted us at the parking lot & offered to help with our bags. He also went as far as carrying our luggage’s to our room after check-in. Stratigoula with receptionist made sure we were well aware of the area (where to eat at depending on our preference & suggested a few tours), she even shared with us the Greek cultural when we asked (one of the most amazing people I have ever met). During our whole stay there, they have always checked-in with us to see how we were doing. Very attentive and we were truly cared for by all the staff.The breakfast was amazing and the view was everything. I was outside throughout the whole night with my sister talking stories and enjoying the breeze. It felt safe & the 24 hour service was truly amazing. Sia with management was sincerely so graceful with us & to everyone that came in. The culture was shared and was appreciated by me & my sister. When we tried to tip the staff, they said we didn’t have to. The staff truly cared about their customers & treated everyone so well. Attached were some of the pictures & videos. This wouldn’t even do justice as the service was exceptional. I would stay here a thousand times more!
The owners made you feel like family! They were very accommodating and kind. The property was immaculate and absolutely beautiful.
The only thing we would say is our shower was very small. However, that would not prevent us from staying there again.
“The staff was very helpful, the room was always clean, and the view from our room was fantastic, giving a true Greek vibes
The breakfast was very basic, and the eggs were always cold because they had been prepared in advance. When the food ran out, it wasn’t replenished, so the quantity was always limited.
Service and crew are very kindBreakfast is tastyLocation is perfectStrongly recommended place
stunning views, excellent location, wonderful staff, pool. Everything was perfectly painted, maintained and clean.
