Old Castle Oia - Adults Only

T

Hotel has the best sunset views in Santorini. Our room had its own plunge pool, you can watch the sunset from our pool. The hotel only has a breakfast option but no restaurant Inside the hotel. There’s plenty of dining options close by though. Be prepared to walk though as obviously no cars can come to this area. They sent a staff member to help us bring our luggage from main road, it’s about a 15 minute walk. Highly recommend the hotel amazing views and quieter than other parts of Santorini.

This is a beautiful hotel for sunset views and romantic evenings spent at the pool. Staff was very helpful, organized, and polite. I recommend getting the room service breakfasts, everything was delicious. The path of stairs that leads you to the hotel from where your driver will be able to drop you is long and can be tricky to walk up and down due to the slippery stones so bear that in mind when booking. I was able to do them while five months pregnant but probably wouldn’t be able to in the third trimester.

This property is in a good location, right in the middle of Oia. Be prepared to walk the steps though because it truly is in the middle and there is no direct access to it. It looks over the sunset and down at Amoudi Bay which is nice. I will say, the staff is not very friendly or welcoming. The rooms are pretty average, cracks in the floors, stained bathrooms, etc. The private hot tub on our balcony was very cold and the view was very obstructed. We asked about heating up the hot tub and they pretty much said that there was nothing they could do about it. Overall I was very underwhelmed and would not stay here again.

Very unique hotel and experience but i don't think I will ever stay there again. I booked the hotel as i didn't want to fight with other vacationers for a view of the sunset. Have mixed feelings here. While it has one of the best sunset views there isn't much the hotel has to offer other than a picturesque pool. Couple things you should know before booking this property: 1) the exact location of the hotel as you can't it on google map. I did a lot of research on the hotel before i went there so found it easily, 2) if you are goiing back to your hotel few times a day then beware of the stairs as the hotel is maybe 1/3 its way towards the pier. Going down is hard enough, going back up is like a full workout. 3) While the room itself is very unique it is quite small. There is not much sitting area in the room too. The bedroom is on the 2nd level and the spiral staircase is the tiniest i have ever seen. I can't imagine how a tall or big guy can climb up the spiral stairs. 4) hotel does not have any other facility I am not saying that this is a bad hotel, had a great time there. Just that I find it hard to justify staying there again and pay a premium when there isn't much they offer.

The property is clean and nice for adults only with a great sea caldera view except the path way to the hotel entrance is the main stops for donkey rides.

Almost perfect except that there is no restaurant at the hotel. Everything else is immaculate and clean. Location is very close to restaurants and is the nice spot to watch the sunset. Pool view is amazing!!

Amazing views

Amazing room with an unobstructed view of the sea and breathtaking view of the sunset!! Others used to come and stand outside the hotel to see the sunset while we used to just be in our private pool and take in the view! Couldn’t have asked for a better location during our stay! The staff were very friendly and helpful, two men in particular helped take our luggage up and down the steep path during check in and check out. The only small facility I wish they had was a poolside bar where we could’ve lazed in the pool while drinking some delicious cocktails, and a food menu where we could’ve had some yummy finger food. But even without this I rate this place 5/5 and will definitely stay here again!

Absolutely incredible property and the woman who checked us in was so welcoming and gracious, every time we saw her during our stay she was just so great. Can’t say enough good things about this hotel and property!
