Chromata Hotel

Excellent stay! We were at the Dulux suite, its around 75 sqm and even has its own office room. The hot tub is a lot of fun and has a great view of the caldera. Supermarket is a 10 minute walk and you have some basic utensils to make food in the spacious kitchen. Eating out in Oia is a very expensive affair. The famous blue dome is a just next to you and castle of Oia/windmill is a 20 minute walk. However some things to note: great location does mean people move around close to your place for photos and privacy is not 100%. I feel this is part of being in Oia, lots of people taking a lot of pictures and you definitely don't feel secluded so be ok saying hello to your neighbor etc. It can get noisy, the dulux suite is bit of a cave so do not expect complete silence. Also interesting fact, all the electricity wires in Oia is run underground so some times we did hear some sounds during the day but nothing unbearable. We went in April, for the price we paid we felt we got an absolute bargain.

What a great stay. Comfortable room, nice jacuzzi, located literally next door to the most photographed blue church in Oia. But, it’s nestled down a lesser-traveled path. Very helpful front desk and they helped carry our luggage in and out. Some of the reviews I read are crazy - book this place and don’t look back!

We went there for our honeymoon last October. We booked a suite with jetted tub. The room has an incredible view, indeed, from its balcony but we had very little privacy because the balcony is accssible to almost everyone. There were Chinese tourists making selfies all over the place while we were enjoying our outdoors jacuzzi. The place is very difficult to find and it is not easy to get there without a guide from the hotel. We lost a lot of time looking for it and when we reached the reception which is at a different hotel, our guide offered us tap water. For this amount of money we would expect something more. The location is ideal and the view looks exactly like in the pictures, but finally you share it with everyone else who reaches this spot. Also, there is a serious lack of services. I cannot say that there are other hotels nearby that offer something better for this price. Perhaps it is the best value for this amount of money. I just say that Santorini caldera view is finally overpriced and after once or twice of enjoying this incredible sunset we will probably stay with our memories and never visit again!

Without any exaggeration, this was probably the best holiday stay I’ve ever experienced. Of course - part of it is Oia, which is just beyond magical, but the apartment made our holiday absolutely top notch. I dare to say that the view from the terrace is the best you can have from entire Oia. The suite is spacious, kitchen ready, bed very comfortable. The hot tub doesn’t have to be hot at all - you can ask the caretaker Mike to either warm it up or leave it cool, as the days at the terraces of Oia are very warm. Personell is perfect, we’ve been helped with the luggage and provided with the phone to contact front desk (which is at different place) directly. Even though we didn’t needed much of additional service, this could be helpful for some that might do. I guess I can’t use enough of superlatives to make it justice, so I’ll leave it with five stars. We’ll be probably coming back. And not only once. Anyway: be prepared for quite unstable wi-fi connection and cell reception inside the suite (it’s a cave house, after all). As Oia can be overcrowded nightmare, be also ready to be present at a lot of photos of tourists passing by the stairs leading to Chroma Suites, with direct view to the terrace of the appartment.

I wanted to take a picture of the cliff of Oia and suddenly a man of the staff appeared and told me aggressively not to touch the wall next to me, because it was recently painted. I told him ok relax I won't touch it (I was at least one metre away with no intention to go closer) and he told me if you touch it i will force you to paint it again. I asked him what is the name of the hotel and he told me that I shouldn't care and he came to me like he wanted to fight with me. People like him shouldn't work at the tourism industry.
