Had a lovely stay at Porto Fira Suites! The breakfast is exceptional and the staff are delightful. Rooms are modern in style and very comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on our private terrace looking out at the gorgeous view in the morning. Part of the charm of the island is the staircases everywhere but don't let that put you off. You'll get your steps in for sure which will make up for all the great food you'll eat!

This hotel is fantastic. The views are incredible, the rooms are large and well appointed, the staff goes above and beyond for the guests. However, our room smelled like mildew and while we can appreciate the ocean breeze, I would have appreciate a room that smelled fresh and didn't continuously feel damp. We would absolutely stay here again! Great location, LOTS OF STAIRS!!!!!

The bar has the greatest view to sip your coffee or cocktail. One of its kind

Best location in the Santorini, middle of town, well maintained. Best view in city. Overpriced

This place is stunning. If you are reading this, you should seriously book here. We splurged a bit, but honestly if you have the budget this is the place to do so. We stayed here 2 nights. Our room had a huge balcony with a view overlooking the caldera and Fira. We also had a hot tub. Beds were comfortable. They were helpful in organizing tours. We did the sunset catamaran tour. Breakfast was food, delivered to your room.
If you are debating staying Fira or Oia, I think both are reasonable options. Oia will have slightly nicer views (classic blue topped roof, etc), but prices will be much more expensive, with smaller rooms, etc. We just took the bus for 1.60 euro to Oia, took our photos, etc. You can also do the hike from Fira to Oia which I highly recommend.
Overall fantastic experience.

Visiting for the first time and booked a room here. The view was indeed amazing, however, get ready to put on your hiking shoes and everything is slopped. You'll be treading steps left and right. They had guys that helped us with getting our luggage from the entrance to your room, which was a great thing since the entrance to the rooms are quite a hike. Breakfast was also very good. They gave you a list of things you can pick from and mix and match. Now for the negatives. First off, customer service could be better. There was no instructions on how to use the hot tub. And when we went to ask for help, all they said was that it takes time. We were not aware that for sucha small tub, the heater was only capable of increasing the temperature of the water by 2-3C per hour. Also, as others have mentioned, the complimentary items were not great. We only got 1 water bottle and was told we have to purchase additional ones.

Overall, unfortunately I think this hotel is over priced and quite poor.
The staff are not helpful and quite lazy. For the price our expectation was far greater than we got. Same breakfast each day, breakfast was cold, additional charges for cappuccino coffee or coffee outside of a small list. Received only one bottle of water complimentary across our 3 night stay. No staff by the pool to assist you with food orders, towels or general service. The sun beds and cushion material get so hot that you need multiple towels to protect yourself.
Yes, the view is great - but they price according to the view only as their service is incredibly poor. Staff expect tips for everything despite, in our view paying a significant premium to stay at this hotel.
Non smoking hotel - yet staff were smoking in front of us.
The room was fine - no issues or complaints.
Our advice is to stay next door at Alfina - friends stayed there (which was cheaper) but had none of these issues. We ended up leaving a day early.

I have come back from Greece and still miss this place. The hotel is so beautiful and the view from the room and the swimming pool is so spectacular. If there is a need, the counter and the staff are both very helpful. Although there are some stairs, but it didn't bother me and the staff will help with the luggage. Highly recommended and want to come back to stay here again.

The hotel is located on the very edge of the cliffside which allows for an uninterrupted and stunning view of the caldera. That said, there are no roads to the hotel and several stairs down so if mobility is an issue I would consider staying on the main road. Staff did help bring our luggage up and down the steps.
The infinity pool is gorgeous and very quiet. Staff were excellent. We had breakfast included with our booking and it was delicious. You can select what you want each day and they bring it to your balcony. We enjoyed the bar as well. The cocktails were very good. We would definitely stay here again.
