We stayed here as a family of four (2 adults and 2 children) in July. The location is great. Close to the ocean and restaurants. The hotel has a parking for maximum 8 cars. Due to guests parking poorly, only 3-4 cars could fit occasionally. The hotel is very nice looking from the outside and in the lobby. The staff members in the reception could pay more attention to the guests, it does not hurt to say hello or good morning. The room was very nice and spacious. The view was not towards the ocean directly but we did have ocean view. Since we were more towards the smaller street we had shadow on the balcony in the afternoon, which was perfect. The bathroom could be better cleaned. We could spot some toothpaste stains behind the sink. Poor water pressure in the shower. AC worked perfectly fine! The most disappointing was the breakfast. It does not look at all as the pictures. Always something missing, like cutlery to take the cherry tomatoes and the honey. The girl working there did only collect plates, never refilled the buffet. We had to ask for more juice and napkins. When asking for napkins, I was handed a few, but they were never refilled at the buffet for other guests. To summarize. Nice rooms and location. The staff working there brought the hotel down. We could stay here again but that’s mainly because it is the most modern hotel in the city.

We visited in late May, and it seems this time is really off season for the place. The rooms are nice, breakfast however was really limited (no hot dishes). The rooms are looking over the main street by the sea - probably quite noisy during peak season. They have a dedicated parking spots at the back of the hotel, but they are really small + higher level from the pavement. So if you are with a larger car (I was with Skoda Octavia), it might be a tight fit.

If you’re looking for a vacation to enjoy with the whole family, and to experience Greek hospitality, look no further. I booked this hotel on the website like everyone else, took a chance with not much expectations but hoping for the best. Boy, am I happy that I made this choice. It’s very accessible to restaurants and coffee shops. This is a family owned and operated business and they are wonderful and very attentive to your needs. Keep in mind, you do need a car/taxi ride to get to the ferry port (10 minutes away) if you’re going to Elafonisos. We are already planning next year’s trip and we can’t wait to be back. Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed.
