"The room we stayed in was cleaned everyday and towels and ( coffee pods for the machine) replaced. I was initially slightly dubious about using the sister hotel facilities. But I can assure you it is literally 2 mins away, on a private beach. They have a lovely pool and the most amazing staff. We came for just 5 days and it was just so wonderful to relax and enjoy the surroundings and food and staff’s kindness."

"Vi är nöjda med vistelsen och kan tänka oss att besöka Niros Beach igen. Det som drog ner betyget: -Köksutrustningen var inte komplett, t.ex. fyra knivar, glas och stolar till fem gäster och ingen skärbräda. -det fanns endast toalettpapper och tvål. En skvätt diskmedel och svamp hade underlättat mycket. Observera att luftkonditionering kostar extra, 5€ per natt. Det står i det finstilta så det är inget negativt, bara förvånande år 2026 i ett varmt land. Bra pool och härligt med havet så...

Atrion Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room is clean but very old, not as modern and shiny look as the lobby. Breakfast is awesome and has lots of choices, also very healthy and tasty. Staff is very helpful and responsive."

Marin Hotel

8/10 Good

"Decent hotel within walking distance of the old town, Venetian port as well as the central bus station. Very friendly staff and the the room was comfortable and had a nice large balcony, but the level of cleanliness was not ideal: when we arrived to our room there were hairs stuck in the pillow covers and sheets and the bathroom had some mold in the shower and dust on the toilet and sink. The towels however were clean and got changed every 2 days. The breakfast was tasty albeit quite limited in terms of options, however on the last day we had the surprise of finding mold on a rice pudding... So overall an okay experience and a very convenient location, although the hotel would definitely benefit from a higher level of attention when it comes to cleaning."
