helpful staff great coffee

The staff were very helpful and pleasant. I especially liked the shower setup in the room. A separate cubicle kept water off the floor. Breakfast offered many choices and the coffee was great.

The lack of darker curtains meant the room got bright early in the morning.

warm staff local attraction greek coffee

The reception staff was genuinely warm and offered helpful advice regarding local attractions , as well as transportation options to Delphi. I particularly enjoyed starting my mornings with a cappuccino prepared by Maria. It's also worth mentioning the availability of authentic Greek coffee, a good and unexpected surprise.

The cold water pressure in the jacuzzi was very low, preventing its effective use.

Rooms

9/10

The room was spacious, comfortably accommodating our group of four. The beds were comfortable , offering a good night's sleep. A separate shower stall prevented water from spreading across the bathroom floor.

Service

10/10

The hotel staff demonstrated friendliness and a helpful attitude. They remembered my coffee order after the first breakfast, a small detail that enhanced my experience. The team was quick to respond to my needs , offering ironing services upon request.

Location

8/10

The location provides convenient access to the city center , approximately 15 minutes away on foot. This proximity made exploring various sites straightforward , eliminating the need for public transportation. The hotel's surroundings felt safe , despite the presence of graffiti.

The staff facilitated transport from the cruise port. They also arranged transport to the airport. The air conditioning in the room worked very well. It kept the space cool during the summer heat (a big plus!).

The breakfast choices seemed a bit limited.
