This property definitely exceeded my expectations, if you are taking a bus or coach to Monemvasia, definitely stay here as the bus drop of is right next door. Location is excellent located right before the bridge to the castle and walking distance from everywhere. Staff were kind and gave us lots of recommendations. Great value for money, room was clean and view from front rooms is incredible. Would recommend a 2-3 day stay!
Not much to complain about at all, only thing we found was there was no safe to store personal belongings however area felt safe.

Location
The staff was really nice
The balcony
The fridge's door was dirty
The beds were quite small and not comfortable, especially the 3rd added bed, which wasn't even a real bed and very hard
As there is a cafe in the lobby of the hotel and we slept on the first floor, it was pretty loud
The shower curtain was not long enough and the shower was leaking

Proximity to Monemvasia castle. Right on port so Wonderful views. Simple but very clean room. No lift. We were on second floor but staff offered to help with luggage.

Amazing location. A simple hotel, but does everything well. Good sized rooms, clean, great hosts. Incredible position. Monemvasia is a little walk but so worth it. Fantastic place. Breakfast very good.

The location is great and owners were very welcoming. The view of the harbour and the sea was beautiful. The balcony was has table with chairs and sun till the evening. There are many restaurants close by, also directly on the beach. Great place.
Bathroom was slightly dated.

Very good location, picturesque port and esplanade on one side, view of Monemvasia and beaches on the other side, easy parking right outside, 1 min walk from shops/ chemist/ cafe/ bars/ restaurant. Reception open until 3am, bar staff on ground floor very helpful and friendly. Rooms had balconies with drying line. Not the most tasteful lobby/bar, but all modern, and really clean, great condition of all facilities. Also traditional Greek food restaurant attached via connecting inner door.
Showers weren't hot all the time, often ran cold a few minutes into shower.
Also although this was not a problem for myself and my partner I'm thinking back and I realise I didn't see an elevator (lift) so anyone who can't handle stairs might not have access to upper floors where rooms are. Could be wrong about this, so do ask.

Great location, great views. Their restaurant had really good food.
Beds were a little hard. Staff were not very welcoming but it may have been because we stayed in their off-season in Winter.

Theodora was wonderful, kind and helpful. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom clean. Everyone is provided with a locker and a padlock and to make your life easier you can also able rent a towel. I didn't use the kitchen very much but it looked cleaned too.

The location is perfect – just steps from the bridge to Monemvasia island and also next to a free public parking area. The price is also very good value and staff is friendly.
My stay met my expectations; no problems.

Very friendly, helpful staff. The location is brilliant. I had a sea view room and all I could hear at night was the sound of the sea and cicadas - I slept really well. The shower was fantastic - really powerful and the bed was very comfortable. I only stayed one night (which for me was enough to visit Monemvasia) but I would recommend this hotel and I would stay here again. The location is perfect as it is almost next door to the inter city bust station (KTEL).
Oddly, there was no soap at all provided (which wasn’t a problem as I had my own). I would have liked a kettle but the hotel doesn’t provide them. Just a couple of small points otherwise it was great! Thank you.
