Orama Hotel & Spa

I chose this hotel because it's easily accessible from the centre of Fira. Unfortunately, unlike pretty much everywhere else in Fira, the Orama doesn't have great views, and all the rooms seem to face inwards to the pool. My room was comfortable, but the lights didn't work properly, so it was pretty dark inside. I had dinner in the restaurant, which I don't recommend. I had pasta carbonara.. When it arrived, I was told that it was a fusion between Italian and Japanese cuisine. It tasted as weird and unpleasant as it sounds. For dessert I had creme brulee. It was not cooked properly and resembled scrambled eggs with sugar on top. I complained, and the dish was taken away. However, it still appeared on my bill, and despite my protestations, the staff bullied me into paying it. It was pretty humiliating. The pool was loveley, and it's an easy walk to the bus station and the supermarket, so if you want to do Santorini on the cheap, then the Orama could be an option. But please eat elsewhere.

I’ve stayed at Orama twice (October 2023 and July 2025). The hotel is amazing- their clean rooms, gorgeous pools, excellent breakfast and spa! Location is about 5 mins away from center- easy walk!

The hotel is very nice and is very comfortable. The only disappointment was that it was not on the water and the rooms were not overlooking the water. Hard to know what exactly you will get from the websites until you get here.

We picked this hotel because they offered a fitness facility. The pics showed they had a treadmill, however we also contacted them to confirm this. When we arrived there was no treadmill. They said it broke and they didn't bother to replace it. A treadmill is pretty basic for a gym and if they advertise they have a gym then it should have one. They sent me to their sister property to use the treadmill. While the property was close the gym was way at the back so this took time every day. That gym AC didn't work. It was used by the employees. It was very clear the employees did not want to share the gym with the guests and they came in and threw their stuff around and started teaching others in their group. It was very weird. We also asked months in advance for early check in and explained why. We were told in a e-mail they would do everything they could. When we got there it was very apparent we did not get any priority for this and they kept trying to take my bags constantly. We didn't find the reception staff friendly at all. Every other hotel we stayed at in Greece they were very friendly. The housekeeping staff on the other hand was excellent and so friendly. The location is very good also. I can't speak to the food or the pool. Honestly it was the worst of the places we stayed in Greece simply because of poor customers service. Zero compensation offered for all of the gym issues.

A beautiful property with kind and hard working staff
