“Beautiful Zante”

So, the positives, location, right in the centre of everything. The staff are helpful and friendly. Shout out to Sophia and Ian, but also our lovely waitress and pool bar staff. Great bed and shower.

So, the positives, location, right in the centre of everything. The staff are helpful and friendly. Shout out to Sophia and Ian, but also our lovely waitress and pool bar staff. Great bed and shower. The air conditioning is the best, and in the middle of a heatwave, that’s important. Breakfast is local, fresh and plentiful. All you need. Some might say the hotel is a bit dated. I prefer vintage. We had the Comfort Room, with the cutest balcony and local neighbour who we met up with every evening and said “hello! How are you?” On our perspective balconies. That was the extent of her English and our Greek. The wi-fi in the room was a bit iffy but great everywhere else in the hotel. We found two amazing local eateries and ate there all the time! We went to a recommended taverna in town but our waiter was much more interested in the larger parties in the restaurant (Sathmos)and not two old foggies with a smaller appetite and didn’t want a starter or pudding 😡 we voted with our feet and didn’t go back. Their loss. Best to stick to the small places off the beaten track. The best food, prices and service (Dell Arte pizza restaurant just off the main square) We did the all day trip to Keffolonia. Long day but Keffolomia is beautiful. The ferry ride there and back is too long. We also did the wine tour with the aforementioned Ian. Great fun. The negatives? There is a bit of a ‘sewage smell’ in the bathroom. Sounds bad but you get use to it! The lovely Sophia allowed us to have a sneaky peel at the upgraded room because we would love to come back and the upgrade room is a bit bigger. We loved it! .

“More of a business hotel or short stay”

Firstly I have to say the staff are all lovely, in particular Zoe the chambermaid and Sofia on reception.

Firstly I have to say the staff are all lovely, in particular Zoe the chambermaid and Sofia on reception. The hotel itself is a bit dated, however the bed is very comfortable and the shower is excellent. I liked my small Juliette balcony, there was just enough room for me to sit there and read my book. For me the downside was the square it is located on because of the noise that went on well into the early hours, with the deep base that disturbed my sleep. I was kindly offered a change of room but declined. The only bar was on the rooftop that closed at 7pm which was a shame as I enjoyed the views over the rooftops to the sea. Despite the artistic license of the pool photography it really is tiny and I never went in it. In the reception area there is no atmosphere, no where to meet up or grab a coffee which is a real shame. Top tip - there is an excellent bakery just around the corner and some beautiful churches to explore in the vicinity.

Lovely Hotel and Staff, would definitely stay again. Loved Zante Town and the Hotel location is second to none. 5 minutes walk to the Stony Beach and Bar but also on St Marcos Square with lots of Retaurants and Bars nearby. Ian Roberts the Concierge for the hotel is very knowledgeable and arranged a Small Group Turtle Tour for us. Cost of €50 each but well worth it. There were 6 of us in a small boat with a guide who was lovely. Picked us up from the hotel, had 3 hours on the boat and in the Sea. Visited the Turtle Sanctuary, saw loads of Turtles and a Sea Lion. I would love to go again and would difinitely book with them again.

“A lovely comfortable stay.”

The somewhat dated decor of the hotel is more than compensated by its perfect position on the side of Agios Markos Square, and by the incredible staff, especially Sofia and Eirini who went out of their way to help. Also the efficient cleaners and restaurant staff.
