  Spectacular

  22 Apr 2026

  Outstanding in every way. Emphasis should be made that it is not suitable for anyone with walking difficulties. That is my only criticism. It was exceptional in every other way.

  Luxury Views minus the madness

  18 Apr 2026

  We stayed three nights this spring and couldn’t get over how stunning the property is. The location is ideal—offering that coveted caldera view without the overwhelming crowds of Oia. It’s also an easy walk to the main parking area, which made tour pickups super convenient.There are quite a few stairs, so it may be challenging for anyone with mobility concerns. That said, the staff handled our luggage both ways, so that part was completely stress-free.Special shoutout to the front office staff—Suson (hope I got that right!)—who set such a welcoming tone from the moment we arrived. Evangelos Parousis, General Manager at Iconic Santorini, responded to this review Dear Mrs. PuzonThank you so much for your wonderful review and for your kind words about our team. It truly means the world to us to know that our team made such a positive impression on your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back soon for another memorable visit!Warm regards,Evangelos Parousis,General Manager

  Lovely hotel for a couple of days but a week is too long here.

  13 Oct 2025

  We had a mostly lovely stay at The Iconic Santorini, The staff were warm and welcoming—special thanks to Aristea, who was particularly helpful throughout our stay. The views from the property are absolutely breathtaking, and the central location made it easy to walk into Fira.Our room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Parking nearby was surprisingly easy, usually just a short walk from the hotel, which made exploring the rest of the island very convenient.However, there were a few downsides. The indoor restaurant is small—likely not used much during better weather—which became an issue for us since strong winds persisted for much of the week. Breakfast service was a bit inconsistent; even though we pre-selected our time and choices the night before, we still encountered delays most mornings.The pool is very small, though I understand that's fairly typical for properties on this side of the island.The main concern during our stay came after a particularly rainy evening. We returned to our room to find rainwater had seeped in under the door. Some of our belongings that had been left on the floor were soaked. Worse, my husband slipped on the wet stone steps leading down to the bathroom while trying to grab towels. It was a concerning incident and something the hotel should address, especially during inclement weather.Overall, The Iconic Santorini offers beautiful views, excellent service, and a great location, but we hope some of the practical issues, particularly around weatherproofing and breakfast logistics, will be improved in the future. Evangelos Parousis, General Manager at Iconic Santorini, responded to this review Dear Guest,Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We value all feedback, as it helps us improve and provide an even better experience for our guests.

  Trip of a lifetime

  08 Oct 2025

  I am Miss Emma from London, and I decided to go for a trip of a lifetime at the Boutique Cave Hotel last summer. I booked an awesome sea-view suite after some negotiation on price, staff who helped us with booking was professional and knowledgeable.The suite was spacious, beautifully decorated, and clean.We got some complimentary toiletries. Towels were fresh.Our maid arranged our clothes neatly, which was surprising to me.The resort was only short walk from the beach and about 20 minutes from the town center. Hotel provided us with transter. We took the opportunity to go sightseeing with driver from this hotel, and it was a fantastic trip. The transfer to the airport, unfortunately, was not included in priceThe sea was exactly as on pictures. I would go again in a heartbeat to see this view again. The breakfast buffet was huge, but food was obviously overcooked to me. The internet was fast enough for us. The staff was always on the line with us. it's very important for me to be able ask for help any time.Even upon arrival at 3 am they brought us extra pillows. Travel light, as there wasn't enough space in the wardrobe, despite the fact that the room was spacious. Our stay supassed all expectations. We went home with different outlook on life. Overall service and atmosphere were so wonderful that i am definitely passing you a knowledge about this perfect resort.

  Wonderful Stay at ICONIC Boutique Cave Hotel

  29 Sept 2025

  Arrived at Athens airport and was greeted by our driver, transportation services arranged by hotel. Driver was polite and professional. It wasn’t a long drive to the hotel. We received a warm welcome by Aristea. Very nice young lady. She was very polite and professional. She did great job explaining the hotel and surroundings. To our surprise, received an upgrade to our room. Thank you ICONIC Hotel. The room was terrific. Due to the upgrade we had nice little pool inside our room! That was really nice. Hotel is immaculately clean. The staff at front desk to wait staff are all polite and professional. Food was excellent at the hotel. The views from this hotel are incredible. Its central location makes it easy to walk to Fira. It’s only a 20 minute walk. Visit the town. From there you can take the public bus to Oia and spend a few hours. Would totally recommend this hotel and come back. Evangelos Parousis, General Manager at Iconic Santorini, responded to this review Dear Guest,We’re truly touched by your thoughtful review, especially your recognition of our team. Knowing that their efforts contributed so positively to your experience is incredibly motivating for all of us.
