Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated up a hill in a small alley, which didn't bother us but could be a challenge for some. It's close to the city center, making it convenient for exploring. The rooms were cozy with heating, but the location may not be ideal for everyone.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with a few ups and downs. The location was convenient, close to the central square, but reaching it required navigating a small alley. The service was friendly, although getting a car to the hotel was a bit challenging.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel, enjoying the beautiful views from the room and the warm service from the staff. However, the location up a hill might not suit everyone, and access by car is a bit tricky. The dining experience with freshly cooked omelettes was a highlight, but the alleyway setting might not be ideal for some.
The hotel is conveniently located close to the Plaza, offering a great view of the historic city area. The rooms provide both heating and a view, although reaching it by car might be challenging due to the alleyway. The service was accommodating, and the traditional Greek dishes in the dining area were delightful.
My stay at the hotel was delightful, with great views and cozy rooms. The service was exceptional, but the location may be challenging for some. The dining experience was tasty, and the facilities were fantastic.
