Hotel Akrotiri

Spotlessly clean, so comfortable and friendly staff and owners. Incredible views and beautiful rooms.

PROS: - Owners Lena and her husband were super welcoming and helpful, felt more like relatives than hosts. Easy to communicate with, offered information and great to sit and chat with - Hotel is actually a huge beautiful home, renovated to serve as a hotel with a huge balcony overlooking the city and the ocean. Perfect place to have a meal and relax. - Rooms were massive, found a welcome basket with free wine, also provided slippers and bathroom in the room. As a budget traveler, this was not what I was expecting and felt very fancy to us. We had a huge wrap around balcony that overlooked the water and the city below. - Excellent shower, good WIFI. Toiletries were included. - We needed a taxi to the airport very early in the morning, Lena's husband offered to take us for a cheaper rate than a taxi. He was punctual and a great conversationalist during the trip. Really made the ordeal stress free. - Lena had woken up even earlier than we did to make sure there would be fresh coffee and cakes ready before our early departure around 5 AM. We though that was completely unnecessary and very sweet of her. - Although it looks far on a map, the hotel is just a 10 minute taxi ride from the center of town (about 7 euro) and was much easier to get to than we anticipated.

CONS: - I don't have anything negative to say about this property of the staff.

Beautiful views from the room and tarrace, good breakfast, amazing host, comfortable beds (they are usually much harder in other places we stayed), the little things such as complimentary bottle of wine and water, even bathrobe and slippers! Bit out of town but there is a bus stop right at the doorstep with a frequent service

If I had to be picky, there was quite annoying noise at night, whenever it was even bit windy like high pitched squeak which my bf discovered to be a flag! But we had some wine (complimentary in the room) and raki and we slept like babies :)
