Don’t stay here, not worth the money
30 Jun 2025
I don't recommend this hotel to anyone. This is the worst hotel l've ever stayed. Long story short, we were threatened to pay for the accident that happened upon checking-in, in front of a receptionist who didn't help us with anything -… Show more carrying the luggage nor warning us about accessibility issues of the room we booked. The staffs and manger were unhelpful, aggressive and acted shady, changing the story all the time. We really wanted to enjoy Santorini but it was ruined. Don't let them ruin your vacation or honeymoon. Also, I don't get why they deserve 4 stars - they can't even provide complementary bottled water even though tap water in the hotel is not safe to drink, according to the staff. We stayed in two hotels in other Cycladic islands, and water was always provided for free. The bathroom was smelly.Show less

Ira Hotel and Spa on Santorini was disappointing
31 May 2025
Review for Expedia and Trip Advisor of The Ira Hotel and Spa, Firostefani, Santorini, Greece. Our recent holiday in Greece involved us, a family group of 4, staying at 5 different hotels in Greece. All but one were excellent and provided… Show more everything expected of a 3–5-star hotel. The last one, the Ira Hotel and Spa located in Firostefani on the idyllic island of Santorini, is rated as a 4-star hotel. We disagree with this evaluation and suggest that it should be rated as 2-star at best. The property is very modern and visually appealing cascading down the cliffs on the side of the caldera which consequently requires many staircases. The initial concern which faced us on registration, was the absence of a functioning restaurant and bar. This was unique among the hotels we stayed in on our vacation and had several consequences. It meant that a pleasant lounge and excellent swimming pool, both with stunning views, were barely used by guests in our experience. We were told by the hotel staff that since they had chosen not to open their restaurant and bar, we were not able to have a glass of cool white wine in any public space on the property and in particular in the afternoons which were very warm. We could only drink alcohol in our rooms which made us feel like children being disciplined solely for the obvious objective of saving the hotel the costs involved in operation their restaurant and bar. They explained that otherwise they would be in contravention of the laws and regulations if they allowed an expected normal civilized behavior in a “4-star” hotel. Other peculiarities forced on guests was the provision of only one room key to each couple. The key was a card commonly used at all the other hotels we stayed in which had to be inserted into a power switch to have any power in the room. This included the air conditioning so that, on leaving the room for daily sightseeing, removal of the key switched off all air conditioning. With temperatures reaching the low to mid-30s in the afternoons our return to our rooms was unpleasant and required considerable time to be cooled to acceptable temperatures. If the key was left in the power switch during our absence, we were informed that the cleaning staff would remove it requiring us to ask the reception staff to open our room on returning. Again, an example of being disciplined like children with the objective of saving the hotel the expense of air conditioning. A 4-star hotel must provide such service to justify that rating and it was provided at all the other 3-5-star hotels we stayed at. Other more trivial problems were encountered which added up to a reduced level of enjoyment of the property which was a great shame as the location deserved a truly functional first class hotel. The necessity for multiple staircases required some fundamental design features not always provided. The use of contrasting colors to define the edge of stairs was not always used. Some simple use of white paint would have sufficed. Nor, in our experience, was the and stairs use of lighting after dark. Although lighting fixtures were incorporated along walkways they were often not switched on which was either a lapse on the part of the staff or was another money-saving strategy of management. Breakfast was provided in the restaurant and was served by a hard-working employee who also moved luggage and serviced the pool area. He was a gem. A fixed menu was provided for breakfast and all the food items were already on the tables upon entering. Additional items could be ordered at extra cost, one example being two scrambled eggs for €10.00. All our previous hotels provided buffet breakfasts for one fixed price and did not charge for any additional items. Another example of the profit motive for the hotel’s policies not observed at any of our other hotels. The hotel had clearly been designed by designers or architects who were far more concerned with image than substance. While the room interiors were mostly laid out well some quirks stood out. The lack of adequate towel racks for example as well as insufficient towels to dry them on. The extreme slipperiness of bathroom floors when wet around the showers made them unpleasant to use. The placement of one shower immediately adjacent to the bed in the room so that splashing the floor around the bed was inevitable also diminished the expected functionality of the rooms. These deficiencies might at first sound like picky tourist gripes which can be safely ignored by hotel management. However, they detract from what could be a truly wonderful experience if attention had been paid to a superior hotel experience worthy of a high rating. As it stands, the Ira Hotel and Spa provides a disappointing 2-star bed-and-breakfast experience for guests not worth the ~$450/night room charge. It could have been so much more.Show less

Not Worth the Trouble- Book Elsewhere
30 Apr 2025
For starters, I booked through a third party at a nonrefundable rate over 2 months in advance (Booked in April for a trip in July 2025). Bad choice, I know better now. Before the manager attacks me the way he attacked the other review… Show more detailing this experience, I will say I also had every intention of going. I am 24, have never been abroad, have been saving for over a year now to take a trip and made the unfortunate decision of picking this hotel. Because of my inexperience, I also made the mistake of booking one day short of what I needed- not accounting for travel time. I became extremely aware of this issue the DAY OF and immediately attempted to remedy the situation. Initially, I sent a message to the hotel asking if I could add a day to the trip but to no response. The flight had a policy that stated it would only be refundable if canceled within 24 hours, so I did. Because this was a package, however, all items were cancelled and I figured I could just call, explain, and rebook. Once I got in touch with them, they were extremely unsympathetic to the fact that this was a booking error and took a very "you're SOL attitude." I saw the manager respond to the other comment stating "Your actions and pressure to cancel you trip ... meant that we wouldn't be able to resell the room reserved resulting to income loss." However, in my situation, I cancelled as soon as possible to ensure this would not result in their income loss, but to no surprise, the hotel does not care about you and will keep your money and rebook the room anyway. Again, this was cancelled almost 3 months in advance. I asked for a voucher, some grace, or even just a portion of my hard earned money back, but they would not hear it. Expedia told me that they were firm on their policy- even if it was predatory, which is why I am writing this review. I hope whoever reads this decides to book at a more gracious hotel. Also while reading the other reviews, I noticed the GM is extremely hostile, and I look forward to seeing how rude he might be to me if he sees this. Best of luck to all.Show less

Payments safeguarded in a Trust Account
The airline is paid when you book and the rest of your payments are held in a trust account, which is controlled by the Travel Trust Association. This is much safer than an ABTA bond, because your money can only be released to pay the suppliers for each element of your holiday, and and your ATOL protection safeguards the whole holiday.
