    noise disturbance

    No bells, no whistles, just facts

    The building exudes charm and offers spacious rooms. Ideal location at the heart of Old Town yet surprisingly quiet. The staff shine with their warmth and friendliness, especially Christina at reception, who ensured my stay felt special. Breakfast was delightful, with a wonderful variety to start the day right.

    creative breakfast

    Couples, you're gonna love it here

    The breakfast was excellent, each day brought something new and creative, they really know how to surprise you! The staff, especially at the reception, was cute, going out of their way to help us navigate the area and even recommending the best spots to eat -- I felt like I was at home.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but you get what you pay for.

    great views , but limited amenities

    The location offered stunning sea views that enhanced our stay. The staff were very attentive, making us feel welcomed throughout. We enjoyed our spacious Junior Suite, which featured a relaxing area to unwind and appreciate the surroundings.

    The amenities felt somewhat limited for a hotel of this caliber.

    amazing view
    spacious room
    unique decor
    street noise
    limited amenities

    The Deluxe Double Sea view Room with Balcony was spacious and had an amazing view right over the harbor. The decor felt charming and unique. I really loved the outside terrace. it was a cozy spot to enjoy a morning coffee. The bed was comfortable, which made for great sleep. Only downside? A bit of noise from the street at night, but it wasn't a huge deal for me.

    segway tour
    family-friendly beach
    slow check-in

    Had a great time with friends. We explored the Old Port and took a Segway tour for some fun. The beach was perfect for a day out, shallow with fine sand. Be sure to check out Loutraki if you're traveling with kids. the waters are calm and ideal for families.

    The check-in process was a bit slow. we had to wait longer than expected before getting into our room.
