I travel the world with my family, usually to the tops hotels as possible. I have never being treated as good as royalty before. Top top top customer service. The staff from the reception, de concierge, the bellboys etc are like far far trained and has a great customer service vocation. Impressive stat. The rooms are huge and seems like new, the smell of the rooms is great. The only thing I’ll rate around 7/10 is the food and the speed of service in the restaurant maybe 7/10. That’s the only thing I didn’t love. Thanks for a wonderful vacation memories you helped to experience.

This review is actually for Katikies Santorini in Oia where we were switched to by the Katikies group because of some unfinished renovations at the Chromata hotel. Because of the change our room was upgraded to Superior accommodation free of charge! Our stay was between May 3-10 to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and all I can say is that the experience was amazing! The hotel was immaculate. We had our own private terrace with easy chairs and umbrella. Our room and the hotel itself was very clean and the staff totally attentive to our needs. The views from our room were breathtaking and we ate the varied and delicious 5-star quality breakfast on the terrace overlooking the sea and islands. The hotel added so many nice touches to our stay. On arrival we found a bottle of wine and treats in our room. It was Greek Orthodox Easter so we also received an Easter basket with goodies. The hotel is situated at the start of the pedestrian-only road where the shops and excellent restaurants are located so everything was within walking distance. Despite being in the town center the hotel was very quiet (there were many tourists and cruise ship visitors but apparently not as many as in the peak summer season). During our stay we visited Fira (a 20 min, 4 EUR return trip) which has a great museum; took a sunset boat trip around the island and made the must-do 10 km hike along the coast between Oia and Fira. The sunsets were spectacular. Our best vacation experience!

A beautiful oasis of calm in a sea of people. Imerovigli is an amazing area to stay in Santorini, and the Katikies Chromata is absolutely perfect. The view is take your breath away, the rooms perfect, the staff very helpful, the restaurant spectacular. We left early mornings to explore and discover Santorini in peace and cool, returning to the hotel for the heat of the day to relax and enjoy the hotel’s gorgeous amenities. The place is as close to perfection as you can get.

We booked this hotel while frantically dealing w a terrible hotel in Santorini. While it was more than double in price, it was all well worth it to experience the beauty that the island has to offer. Our room was perfect and the views of the caldera breathtaking. Our concierge Mary helped us plan our days and booked lunches and transfer to other parts of the island—she and the entire staff made our stay wonderful!

Great rooms, staff, food and of course...views.
This is a special luxury property with a great staff, amazing breakfast and of course great views. The village of Imerovigli is one of the highest points along the rim of the crater and offers great sunset views from the northern edge of the village (a five minute walk from the hotel). It is centrally located and doesn't suffer from the hordes of sunset crowds of Oia and cruise ship crowds in Fira (a 20 minute walk). Most rooms are in caves, which sounds dreary but their large size, the architecture's soft forms, white walls and flooring and very thoughtful lighting create a welcoming feel and the quiet gave me the best sleep of any hotel on our trip. Many of the rooms (including ours) don't have private terraces so guests and staff pass by, just like in a hillside village, but people are focused on the steps and not you. If you really want privacy on your terrace check with the hotel. The hotel's Chroma restaurant is quiet, romantic and serves great food. Our server studied wines and provided a mini-lesson in the different wines of Santorini (worth trying many!)

Fantastic view even more fantastic staff & service
We had a few gripes on or after arrival. No late night room service, the cold water not being cool enough for a face-wash, housekeeping overlapping with room service in a way that was a bit of a mystery. And perhaps the most stridently ridiculous: blaming the concierge for sending us to a (wonderful) restaurant because the path included a cobbled segment that made walking difficult in D&G heels. All of these complaints were unjustified. All my/our fault, caused perhaps by the shock of actually trying to relax for the first time in a Covid-stewed year. Undeterred, the manager, concierge and head of housekeeping responded magnificently. The bathroom water was always cool but not chilled as there is no underground water supply on Santorini. Would I like lots of ice? No less than 3 housekeepers attended our room (Room 24, private pool, highly recommended for private, villa-like feel) many times per day until we could barely step out of our swimming costumes before they were folded away. The lack of late night room service our first night was more than compensated by the manager offering us a complimentary dinner at the Chromata restaurant. Including cocktails and wine. Very classy, no fuss. The Chromata is the hotel you see on a lot of instagrams of Santorini. Tourists queue for selfies on the vertiginous white steps backed with an azure vista of the Caldera. I won’t forget that view but nor will I forget the absolute excellence of the management and staff here.
