"My husband and I stayed here overnight before our flight back to LA and it was perfect. It’s a gorgeous and chic historical hotel. The staff was friendly and accommodating and gave us a nice complimentary upgrade for our anniversary (so sweet!). The housekeeping woman was also so nice and left us some local treats and Raki. The room was huge and the bed was also really comfortable (I am very picky with beds, especially in Europe). The large bathroom was by far the nicest of all of the hotels we stayed throughout our time in Greece with Korres bath products which was a very classy touch. Amazing rain shower and water pressure. Make sure not to leave Greece without picking up some Korres! The rooftop is perfect for sunset drinks. We didn’t have time for the pool, but if we were there for longer we definitely would have taken advantage. It’s on the smaller side but perfect for a quick dip. It is also very well located in a safe area and walking distance to so many shops and restaurants while also being a quick drive to the airport for an early departure. We had a nice time walking along the marina and checking out all of the boats and grabbing a fresh seafood dinner on the water. We were trying to locate a specific type of unique souvenir we had been looking for but couldn’t find throughout our trip, and the front desk receptionist was very helpful in helping us find it a short walk away! Will come back for longer next time, thanks GDM!"

"Old town location. Parking lots are close to the hotel(150m walk to StS lots). Front desk staff were helpful. Good free beakfast. Beds were comfy. Housekeeping could do better, our bathtub had a bath ring, needs a good scrub! Asked staff to put our beds together to make up as a double and they didn't bother. Both nights we came back after a days out onbtours and the patio door was left open so we weren't happy with that."
