Paralía Platánou Holidays from £261

Huge suite with a living room, kitchen, dining area and 2 bedrooms. The kitchen was stocked with pots, plates, utensils and anything you might need. Good value and right across the street from the National Art Gallery. Close walk to train station. Helpful desk service.

Stayed for two nights, what a disaster it was. On arrival the first night, I checked in, then had to literally drag our luggage by myself with one woman also petite like me about a 5 minute walk from the hotel to the room. While we were walking and dragging the bags up the stairs, a worker on a golf cart sped by and waved and said Kalispera! Didnt offer to help. Then the room smelled strongly of mold and was falling apart. Second room was improved in terms of the smell, but same tired, deteriorating decor. Beds were hard and uncomfortable with cheap linens. I thought I would be staying in the main hotel, but instead I was in one of the "Bungalows" far away from the hotel. You need to drive to get to the hotel itself where any amenities and the breakfast is. Breakfast was mediocre for Greece. Coffee was extra. I was told if I wanted to use the beach or pool facilities I had to spend at least $5 euro. I declined, what a low life request, if you never said anything I would have easily spent that to enjoy my time at the facilities! What a turn off. Location is good but the hotel itself is deteriorating. Staff did accommodate my request the second night to not sleep in a mold infested hole, but really that first room was not suitable for human habitation anyway and should have been closed. I paid over $600 USD for the 2 nights and it wasn't worth the price at all. Many better places to stay with clean rooms and excellent facilities and breakfast. I would skip this one.

Stunning property nestled between a couple of other related properties. Very quiet and beautiful grounds, rooms and accommodations. The staff are incredible; friendly, welcoming and eager to help make the stay a pleasure - and it was. We spent 5 days here; 5 days of that truly decadent breakfast, 5 days enjoying the luxurious grounds and service. Lana and the staff here made us feel like family. Arkoudi, the nearby town, is wonderful and has some great restaurants and a really nice bay beach if you find you want to explore outside this Grecotel resort area. My work brought us here, and it's been a lovely discovery - we would like to return to the area and the Mandola Rosa for another trip in the future!

Great location and food joints and best amenities

The property and owners were EXCEPTIONAL! We traveled from Canada and this property absolutely made our first couple nights in Athens a dream!!!! Great view, comfy bed, large deck with jetted tub and excellent central location. Felt safe and at home!
