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.

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!

We had a fantastic stay, my boyfriends first visit to Greece and he was very pleased. The room had everything we needed, note the stairs up the rooftop were steep and a little tricky but worth it for the view! The location is great just seconds from the main street but still quiet. 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. Thank you so much.
