Our family of five stayed at the Sophia Luxury Suites and we loved it. The place looks just like all their promotional photos. The views of the caldera from the front door and personal pool are breathtaking. I highly commend their staff. They were so accommodating. They assisted with arranging transportation to and from the airport, taking our luggage up and down the many steps to our room, delivering a delicious breakfast daily, and really took care of us. Located in the quieter town of Imerovigli, it was not too far a walk from the capital Fira (30 minute walk).

Please note this property does not operate like a normal hotel. It would be more appropriate to think of the rooms as a loose collection of separate rental properties. We were 3 couples booked into 3 rooms and while 2 of the rooms were nice, the 3rd room was a serious disappointment, despite a very similar price tag. It was very small and had a poor layout. Who has a toilet without a door right inside the front door? To their credit, the "hotel" offered the 3rd couple very nice alternative accommodation, but in a town 20 minutes away. Despite the above disappointment, the other two rooms were really nice and we enjoyed our stay.

While the location and view were undeniably spectacular, the overall hotel experience was extremely disappointing—especially considering this was meant to be our dream honeymoon. The photos on the website were misleading and did not reflect the actual condition of the room. The space was unclean, with visible stains on the sheets, a filthy sink, and an overwhelming amount of black mold in the bathroom, which triggered severe allergy reactions. The private pool, which we were told was heated, was ice cold and unusable. The outdoor hot tub barely functioned, with jets that only worked for 30–60 seconds at a time. Despite raising concerns, the front desk claimed they were fully booked and unable to assist due to the high season. Wi-Fi was down, preventing us from ordering the included breakfast, which forced us to spend extra out of pocket. On top of that, two cats entered our room through the window in the middle of the night—a window the staff insisted we keep open due to humidity and poor ventilation, since the air conditioning barely worked. We spent over $1200 for two nights expecting a luxurious, romantic experience but left feeling frustrated, uncomfortable, and deeply disappointed. I’m especially disheartened that Expedia would promote such a substandard property.

We booked Sophia “Luxury” Suites expecting a premium experience in Santorini, but were met with poor communication, substandard accommodations, and shockingly rude service. From the start, the receptionist, Maria, was cold, dismissive, and visibly impatient. Other staff spoke no English, so we had to rely on Google Translate for even basic requests—a frustrating challenge at a hotel claiming to be high-end. The room, described as “luxury,” smelled of mildew, was not well cleaned, and lacked attention to detail. It fell far short of the standard expected at this price point. We tried to enjoy the sunset from the spa, which does offer a beautiful view, and ordered dinner. The steak was nearly impossible to chew—but we let it slide. No need to let a tough meal ruin a beautiful evening. Unfortunately, the spa water was cold. When we asked if it could be warmed, we were told it could only reach 25°C—with no explanation. Later, when the air turned colder, another staff member told us—via Google Translate—it wasn’t his responsibility. Wrapped in towels, we went to the office, only to be met with hostility. Maria kept interrupting and cited a vague website line about 27°C “for guest comfort.” If it’s cold, how is that comfortable? When we asked to speak with a manager, she became combative immediately and yelled over us. When we raised our voices just to be heard, Maria shouted “Get out!” and threatened to call the police—for simply asking for help. Never again

Really nice location with spectacular views. However, this is not a traditional hotel, there is no reception, no concierge, no staff on site. Breakfast was delivered to our room but the delivery times varied wildly from the requested times. I assume it's coming from somewhere offsite, the food was barely warm and the coffee was cold. The quantities were ridiculously large, we finished less than half of it every morning. Also worth noting that the room descriptions were very confusing - we were three couples that booked the exact same room type, except that the room descriptions included a "2 PAX", "3 PAX" and "4 PAX" notation. Each couple book a different one of these and while our 4 PAX room was spectacular and huge, the 2 PAX room was tiny with only one side of the bed having any walking space, and the toilet was right at the room entrance and had no door .

This property has extremely poor customer service and unacceptable room conditions. Our room had visible mold everywhere and a strong, overwhelming odor that made it impossible to stay in for even an hour. When we raised our concerns, management’s response was dismissive — stating, “This is Santorini, mold is everywhere.” Just be aware before booking.

Loved everything about Sophia Luxury Suites from their breakfasts to it's very central location.

I am extremely satisfied with the choice of stay and would definitely recommend. Not to mention the view Sophia has to offer for those beautiful sunsets!

Stunning views. Very unique accommodations. Friendly staff. Centrally located on the island. Delicious breakfast in the room. Must be physically active in order to make it to the room since there are many steep steps to access with no lighting or elevator. Watch the most beautiful sunsets from your balcony.

We unfortunately didn’t have a good stay at this hotel. Our room was loaded with bugs and then the sheets were stained with what looked like dry blood. We ran out of body soap during our stay and it never got replenished. If it wasn’t considered “luxury” I would rate it differently but there was nothing luxurious about our stay. However, we receive breakfast every morning and it was on time but the variety was only like 3 options.

Disappointing Experience Despite the Beautiful Vie

We booked the honeymoon suite at Sofia Luxury Suites in Imerovigli primarily for its stunning views—and in that regard, the property truly delivers. The scenery is breathtaking, and the suite itself is visually appealing. However, the overall experience fell well below expectations, especially for a suite marketed as a premium offering. From the beginning, coordination was poor. Our scheduled pickup was mishandled, which caused us to lose valuable time in the morning. When we reached out via Hotels.com, the receptionist asked for details like our name and address—information that should have already been available in the booking. She also confused our pickup location, which further added to the delay. The in-suite jacuzzi was not preheated, and we were only told—after expressing our discomfort—that it would take 3–4 hours to warm up. This impacted our ability to enjoy the suite on the first day. Additionally, basic amenities such as coffee were not replenished for the next day, and no universal power adapters were available, which are typically standard in luxury accommodations. Communication with the staff was extremely difficult, as the receptionist did not understand English well, making it challenging to convey even simple requests. Despite specifically instructing that breakfast should not be cleared and the room should not be serviced while we were out, our breakfast was taken away without permission. On another occasion, we were served non-vegetarian items for break

I liked that the view was perfect and the room was very cute and comfy. I also liked that the hotel was not directly in the city where it was so crowded. What i didn’t like though was that i’d get a knock on the door multiple times and i had to unlock the door everytime with the key. i also believe the staff was good overall but i wish the lady who was there would’ve put more effort into resolving our problems with the tv. i went there for my honeymoon and the times we tried to ignore the knocking, they would unlock the door and attempt to come in. breakfast was good but quite small, i wish they would’ve listened to our comments regarding the food but they were ignored. we weren’t told that if you grab something out of the fridge they’d charge you like 2-3x regular price when there’s a market around the corner for a bigger size. overall it was great location, room, and they were friendly. but the service and privacy should have some improvement. we were wishing for a do not disturb sign. breakfast should also have more options.

Absolutely Awful - Stay Away from Sophia Luxury Suites Our experience at Sophia Luxury Suites was hands down the worst we've ever had at any so-called "luxury" hotel - and that's saying something. From the moment we arrived, it was a disaster. First, we were placed in the wrong room - not what we had booked or paid for. When we brought it up with the staff, they were dismissive and offered no real solution. Strike one. They played it off as it was an upgrade when it didn’t have any views of the caldera and had a shared terrace with two other rooms. Next, we discovered that our room had not even a full roll of toilet paper. That's not just inconvenient - it's completely unacceptable for any hotel, let alone one that pretends to be a four-star luxury property. The customer service was absolutely atrocious. The staff were unhelpful, unresponsive, and often not even present. We had confirmed in advance that someone would help carry our bags upon departure (which is important, especially given the many stairs on the property), but when we called in the morning, no one answered. We had to haul everything ourselves - again, not what you expect from a place calling itself"luxury." This place is all style and no substance - completely misrepresented online. The lack of professionalism, attention to detail, and basic hospitality makes it clear they're only interested in cashing in on Santorini's popularity, not actually providing a quality experience. Avoid at all costs!
