This is a very unique medieval castle and the rooms we stayed in were full of amazing character, beautiful architecture and stylish furniture. The staff were amazing, so warm and welcoming, I could not rate them more highly. They went out of their way to care for us. The breakfast every morning was fantastic, just about everything you could want was there and delicious. The rooms were a good size, clean and comfortable, with plenty of room for luggage. A very enjoyable experience.

Fun location but a haul with bags. We paid to have someone carry our bags out. Easy. Perhaps better room choices if you contact the hotel directly.

Great hotel near the central town where many of the shops and restaurants are located. The hotel serves a nice little breakfast buffet to start your day. Voula, the proprietor of the hotel is just delightful.

Full of character
A place full of character in an amazing town The room was lovely with a comfortable bed, breakfast was good with friendly service from the cheerful Romanian gentleman(sorry never got your name) Only slight negatives from me are that it would be nice to have kettle and the shower head had to be hand held. Otherwise a very enjoyable stay.

Monemvasia is a wonderful place to visit but be aware that getting around involves a lot of steps and the old stone flooring in the village can be slippy even when dry. Staff at the hotel were kind and friendly. Hotel itself is a little tired and bathroom is absolutely tiny.

Nice medieval castle setting. Getting around the property and surrounding area was tough due to uneven cobblestone streets and steps, as well as poor lighting at night. Confusing maze like medieval town streets made it tough to find your way around. Difficultly of parking situation under stated . Leave the car at the bottom of the hill and take the bus or a taxi. Staff helped with getting our stuff back to the castle gate. Room had wonderful medieval vaulted wood ceiling, but was a bit quirky in its layout. If you want the medieval castle / town experience, this could be for you. If you want easy access and all the modern conveniences, probably not.

The hotel is situated within the walls of Monemvasia with easy access to the main square. It is a beautiful island and the hotel is impeccably clean and comfortable. It has been very well planned, in that everyone has a little outdoor seating area, which we really enjoyed in the evenings, when the crowds had left the island. Breakfasts were superb and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Rooms were well furnished and a fridge was provided. Bathrooms were small, but immaculately clean and fitted with marble. Monemvasia is a wonderful place to stay. We would recommend the hotel in a heartbeat and hope to return in the future.

We had a family room for two nights. It was very clean and comfortable. The staff was amazing and took very good care of us especially during breakfast. The hotel is hidden away through twisty lanes which made it challenging with luggage but at the same time extremely charming and worth the effort!

We were upgraded to one of the suites which was very nice with a lot of room. The shower is VERY short, I'm 5'8" and even I hit my head on the ceiling. Otherwise, the room is in good repair and very comfortable. Breakfast was good, the area is very quiet. Wifi was okay, not great but that's not surprising due to the location.

Beautiful family run hotel. Good location, excellent breakfast. We parked our car and took the local transfer bus to the main gate which runs every half hour. Really appreciated the hotel advising us to pack an overnight bag for our short stay and leave our suitcase in the car. This is not the place for high heels and lugging suitcases and glad the hotel offered this insight in advance.

Unlucky stay
It was a lovely looking room. The sea view was partial so not what it was advertised as it was blocked from other houses roofs. The pillows were hard and there was a strong odour in the room which was irritating our nose and throat. We raised it with management but they didn’t have another room available and they also denied cancelling and refunding. It was very clean overall and nice decorated. It was also quite spacious but smaller from the rooms advertised. It required few minutes walk to reach it from the gate but the management found us a person to assist us with the luggage. We stayed one night instead of three and we left for a different area to continue our holidays as we didn’t manage to sleep.

Our room was spacious with a number of windows some with sea views. The bathroom was quite small but space is at a premium here. Room was well presented and clean. A safe would have been a welcomed addition as well as restocking the room fridge every day. Breakfast was ok, more variety and quantity would improve it. Overall the best thing about this hotel was the generous room and views.

It was a beautiful property. Our room had marble floors and was huge. The towels were thick and heavy. It was quiet. Vula was so welcoming. It was quite a hike up and down stairs with luggage to get to the hotel. When my husband quipped he could use a beer after getting there, she sat us down and brought us 2 beers and a snack. Breakfast is included and is very nice as is the staff that serves you. There was a nice bottle of wine in the room which we enjoyed. We would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to anyone going to Monemvasia.

The town is beautiful and the hotel is charming. Remember that there are cobblestones throughout the town and if you have a lot of luggage, you can arrange to have someone help you. The owners are very kind as are the other people in the hotel.

A nice hotel to stay but please note...
It is a very beautiful hotel with spacious rooms. My friend and I had a very good holiday in Monemvasia. The hotel also provides up-market toiletries. We had enjoyable stay in Likinia. Just a tip to everyone who wants to stay in this hotel. Please ensure you use the "city transfer" service when you reach the city gate, as you don't want to pull your heavy luggage on the uneven cobbled steps.

Simply gorgeous.
A beautiful family-run hotel just outside of the main tourist crowds on this amazing little island. The service was outstanding, the room beautiful and the surroundings took our breath away. The only little minus was the lack of sea views from our room due to the fact that we booked really late and ours was the last available room.

Peaceful, comfortable, family-run hotel
The family who owns and runs the Likinia could not have been nicer or more accomodating. They allowed my father-in-law, who is no longer so mobile, to choose the room he was most comfortable in. Rooms were extremely clean and comfortable, and the hot water was consistent. Good Greek-style breakfast, good location close to shops, swimming, and hiking, and fabulous views too! Go!!!

Beautiful, clean and comfortable
We absolutely loved our stay at the Likinia Hotel. We booked their loft room which featured a beautiful bedroom and living room area. The details in the woodwork, tile and marble are stunning. Each room has a deep sense of character that makes you feel as though you’ve visited before. The owners make you feel like you’re a part of their family and treat you with the utmost respect and kindness. They stock the rooms with cold drinks and wine to keep you refreshed. Their breakfast is all home cooked and delicious, catering to different tastes. The room was immaculate and the owner was generous enough to upgrade our parents bedroom at the last minute. We can’t say enough positive remarks about this hotel. We will certainly visit again!

the room or its little porch had no view of the city or water. Breakfast was average, but had delicious jams. The lady owner was not very friendly, not deliberately just the way she was. No coffee makers in the room or anything to make hot water for tea. I was able to get hot water from her in the breakfast room. Accomodations were very clean and modern. parking near the city gate is scares even in October. Definitely eat dinner at Marianthi, a little home made food restaurant on the main alley run by a very kind lady. she sits at your table and explains all the menu items. The fried zucchini and veal stuffed eggplants were delicious. Reasonable prices too.
