Very nice hotel- modern, clean, nice location. Our room was a nice size - the bed was comfortable - the room stayed very cool and the bathroom fan helped dry things out! Our room was on the second floor and so our little deck over looked the bougenvilla in the courtyard and it’s so pretty The breakfast buffet is small - lots of options just in a small nook so it gets quite crowded when you’re getting food. There is no restaurant other than the breakfast buffet but lots of restaurants very close by and right on the water. There is also no pool but the beach is only a block away. Kostas was on the front desk when we checked in and during our stay and he was incredibly helpful and friendly- he provided a bunch of information on the area and bus schedules and did an awesome job. We booked massages with Panos and he gave an incredible deep tissue massage. I would recommend! I would absolutely stay at this hotel again- it was so clean comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. We were on an island tour and stayed in 4 hotels and this was our favorite

“Nice hotel, with some issues”

The staff are friendly and helpful. The room is modern, clean and comfortable, but the bathroom is tiny and the shower is terrible. The shower is impossible to control and it really lets the hotel down. The other negative is minor, but it was definitely annoying. You needed to continually log into the wifi. It wasn’t just a daily login, every-time you used your device and sometimes whilst using your device. Why do some hotels do this? If they could fix these niggles it would be a really good hotel.

“A Good Find”

This is a modern hotel only a short walk down a side street from Livadia beach on the edge of Parakia, the capital of Paros. This is an ideal location as the ferry port and the centre of Parakia are less than a ten minute walk away. While the hotel does not have a pool, it does have a beautifully c… more

This is a modern hotel only a short walk down a side street from Livadia beach on the edge of Parakia, the capital of Paros. This is an ideal location as the ferry port and the centre of Parakia are less than a ten minute walk away. While the hotel does not have a pool, it does have a beautifully cool garden shaded by bougainvillea. There is no lift in the hotel, but our room was on the first floor and so didn’t present too much of a problem. We had a small balcony overlooking the road. Although this was a side road, it seemed to be some kind of “rat run” and as a result it was very busy and noisy. It must also be said that storage space was at a premium in the room and the en-suite shower room. An ample buffet breakfast was served inside and outside in the garden. The buffet consisted of a wide range of hot and cold foods. Snacks and drinks could also be ordered to be had in the garden at other times of the day but there was no restaurant, but this was not a problem as there were many restaurants and cafes along the sea-front close to the hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were provided with a local map and recommended restaurants were marked on the map for us.

The Apollon Boutique Hotel is about a 10 minute walk from the center of town and a block away from the beach. It says it's ecological and focused on elegant hospitality. Unfortunately, at check-in, hospitality was clearly absent. When you open the door, there are immediately three steps. I was struggling to hold open the door, pull in my suitcase and get put of my friend's way. The woman who was working reception, Connie, watched us struggle, never offering to hold the door or even say good morning. When we got to reception she moved behind the desk and basically barked at me to scan the qr code to check in. Being that I don't purchase international data, I told her I couldn't so she sighed and made me sign into the wifi. Payment for taxes (etc) were due at check-in, which is unusual to me, because I've always been charged at check out. There is no elevator and no one will help you with your bags, even if you ask for assistance. The room is small, but had a lovely balcony with two chairs and a table. The pillows are extremely soft and they do not use fitted sheets on their mattresses. The shower was more concerning. It had both a sprayer and a rainfall showerhead. The sprayer clearly had mold on it and the shower head only half worked indicating it hasn't been properly cleaned and has buildup clogging the water holes. Overall, while it wasn't the worst hotel I've stayed in and I did like the balcony and location, I think you can find better hotels for an equivalent rate.
