Perfect hotel! Gorgeous 500 hundred year old building with breathtaking harbor views. It is on the quieter side of old town which is the best of both worlds. A few minute walk at most to the popular restaurant bars yet you can come back to a more peaceful atmosphere. The rooms are absolutely spotless with a large bed and a large bathroom compared to other Grrek hotels. All the small yet luxurious touches i.e. robes slippers extra blanket high quality bathing products even a shaving kit without having to request it! There are cozy nooks on each floor and a welcoming breakfast area open during the summer season. The guest services tean waa more than amazing! She reassured me about parking and explained exactly where to go and then continued the conversation days before a one night visit. Since it was Christmas they stocked rhe room with snacks and a bottle of wine with an opener just in case. To make it even better she included a list of favorite restaurants. Way to make life easy for guests all of this on Christmas eve when I know she would have liked tp be with family. Kyiaki you really crushed it!
