“Magical”

We loved this beautiful hotel. With an outlook over the Aegean its position is superb The rooms are spacious modern clean and each has its own veranda. I truly believe it’s the best at Armenistis and probably in Ikaria. The island was a beautiful surprise and so was this hotel.

“Hospitality par excellence!”

I can’t believe this hotel only has 3 stars. It should have a higher rating. I had a wonderful room with a private balcony overlooking the Aegean.

I can’t believe this hotel only has 3 stars. It should have a higher rating. I had a wonderful room with a private balcony overlooking the Aegean. Housekeeping staff were courteous and friendly and did a great job. The breakfast was huge with lots of variety. From savory treats to freshly baked apple cake and cookies each morning, plus the huge bowl of yogurt and fresh fruit. Best of all is the hotel manager, Marina, always smiling and welcoming with excellent suggestions and willingness to make reservations and arrangements as requested. She also doubles as a bartender and shared her home grown herbs for me to take home. She personified Greek hospitality! I’d give this place 5 stars!!

“Wonderful stay”

This is a really good hotel for the price we paid we would totally recommend staying here to anyone. Nestled on the edge of Armenistis, it has sweeping views over the town and beaches. We were upgraded to a sea view, not a partial sea view originally booked which gave breathtaking views. If you do have a partial sea view, it isn’t bad but the balcony looked quite small. The terraces are very close to each other so privacy is at a minimum. The only noise we experienced from other guests were people loudly shouting and laughing as they walked past in the corridors rather than any noisy neighbours. The room is definitely not big, but the bed was actually quite large, wardrobe and safe plus a separate bathroom. Again this is not big and the water did leak quite a lot from the shower. Room cleaning was really good, left us lots of fresh towels and came daily which was lovely, I don’t think we had our shampoo/shower gels topped up but we did go to go buy our own ones anyway as we wanted a higher quality. Lift available which was a godsend with all the luggage. There is a small car park but it does involve a steep climb up and down on slippery slate. We parked at street street level, again a few spaces but you can just park on the road easily but beware they do give tickets out sometimes we heard. Very beautiful all around the hotel, very helpful reception team and everyone is happy to help you. The pool area is nice, quite nippy in the pools but this was September. You do need to get your own sunbed mattress and there are no towels available. There didn’t appear to have a pool bar neither, so you needed to go in to reception area for that. My only grip at this hotel was breakfast, where there were far too many flies and wasps making the experience unappealing as a majority of the breakfast items were uncovered (I would say the breakfast room needed some smartening up too to match the standard of the rooms). So we crossed over the road and had breakfast in the inexpensive coffee shop. That being said, wonderful hotel with great views and super easy to walk in to town within a few minutes.

“Don’t tell anyone else as it will spoil it!”

Came here not really knowing what to expect. My concerns were allayed when we arrived after a 90 minute taxi ride from the Ikaria airport. The hotel looks out over the Aegean sea( make sure you get a sea view) and the rooms are satisfactory but not 5 star. The hotel supplies an a la carte breakfast but no dinner. It isn’t a problem as there are so many restaurants near by. The staff here are very helpful and speak good English. If you want a Mediterranean holiday without the tourists then come here. Clear Mediterranean water, fantastic weather and wonderful Greek food. I would probably recommend getting the ferry here if you’re not in a hurry as it’s far more convenient.
