On the Cliff

It was probably the best breakfast we have ever had in a hotel. Definitely 10 points. Once we also had lunch at "On the Cliff" bar. Good food, reasonable prices. The bar was always busy, as compared to the neighboring eateries. An excellent location, it was about 50m from the stairs to the old port, you can see the cable cars from the terrace, the panorama is simply great to enjoy the sunsets. It's a pity that due to the weather conditions, we didn't manage to enjoy any of the sunsets. Responsive staff. They respond quickly to requests, we got an extra blanket as well as dishes, knives and other things we asked for. Simona manages things professionally.

The view is amazing and it’s comfortable place to stay and a starting point for our trip. The property is also nicely designed in the style of Santorini. The hotel cost also includes a breakfast and it’s excellently prepared. The location is super convenient close to the main square and the trail to the old port and cable car. At first I was very hesitant to stay here because the TripAdvisor rating is very low, but it beats my expectation. Overall I would recommend it for winter stay (not sure how well they do in the peak season).

The location was perfect and the views were stunning! Sarina was so kind and helpful in organising airport and port transfers for us (the porters will carry your luggage between the taxi and accom) Sarina also organised our booking on a sunset catamaran cruise which is a must do! The rooms had everything we needed and were very clean. Make sure you set aside a night to watch the sunset from the spa! The restaurant upstairs has breakfast and offered to bring dinner to our room as well. Super convenient! Would definitely stay again.

Simona, the manager, was nothing short of phenomenal! She went well out of her way to make sure we were taken care of even if she was gone for the day or we were gone before she got to work in the morning, and she set up a catamaran tour for us. The views and location were absolutely perfect - a little off the main streets, but so close to everything. The rooms and bathrooms are a very generous size and very clean. Reasonably priced for the area compared to other places I looked into. There are only 8 rooms, I think, so they are able to provide great attention to their guests. The included breakfast was fantastic! It came on a platter for 2 and included meat, cheese, eggs, salad, fruit, and yogurt. The perfect way to start your day!

The service and breakfast were the highlights of our stay at On the Cliff Simona was a fantastic host, she was responsive and helpful during our trip. She coordinated a last minute catamaran excursion for us which was exceptional and one of the highlights of our trip. She also helped book ferry and airport transfers which made our arrival and departure very easy. Breakfast was delicious and included eggs, meats and cheese, fresh bread, fruit and yogurt, and some Greek favorites including dolmas, olives and fresh Greek salad with feta. The room was as described and as expected for the price point. The bed was comfortable and it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Location was in the heart of Fira, with shops and restaurants surrounding the hotel. The sunset views from our room were well worth the stay. If you are looking for more privacy, or peace and quiet, look outside of the city center. Balconies and soaking tubs are visible from nearby restaurants and other rooms which is to be expected in more congested cliffside areas of Fira and Oia. We would recommend this hotel for a couple looking to be in the heart of town who plans on spending most of their time exploring the island or Santorini. Thank you to the On the Cliff staff for making our stay in Fira!
