Staff was great. Requiring the toilet paper to go in the trash was awkward. The cleanliness and wifi were problematic during the summer. Air conditioning worked well. Location convenient to ferry and bus terminals.

Was wonderful; host and her son were wonderful. Some rooms had a view of the sea ( we did not) but pur room had a small balcony and was very pleasant. Hotel is across from sea, nice breakfast not included. Would recommend- great location; just a short walk to the port and many restaurants, shops, cathedral

Staying at Hotel Paros was nice. We were greeted by the wonderful owners who were very heartwarming. Our gracious host, Ionna, was very accommodating and it genuinely felt like family. A blessing. The room was impeccable and with lots of lighting plus a mini-fridge. We really enjoyed our balcony. The hotel is in a great location and across from the beautiful beach with the most gorgeous sunset views. You can enjoy a lovely dinner at Hotel Paros while overlooking the stunning scenery of the mountains and azure waters of the Aegean Sea. The charming town is historical with miraculous churches. Quaint shops and restaurants are nearby. Thanks! Efcharistó!

Great location on Paros
Great beachfront accommodation 5 minutes from the port. The rooms are basic, but completely sufficient. Room comes with a refrigerator - would have loved a kettle for making coffee. The bathroom is quite basic and a bit difficult to shower with no curtain. Was clean, safe and the owners are a lovely couple. Enjoyed my balcony overlooking the sea. Breakfast choices are nice and reasonably priced. Will definitely come back.

This is a budget hotel. It’s very clean but also very basic. The staff are friendly and welcoming. I would recommend this to someone wanting to stay in the town. It has a beautiful view of the ocean and is close to the beach and restaurants.

Thank you for your polite review. Budget rooms are fun for students, and backpackers, who just need the basics. For someone 35 + go for a standard room, especially if you are travelling with your lovely mother.

Just OK
It was just fine, the guy who checked us in was friendly but commented on our room multiple times, saying it wasn't the best but not bad either. Weird way to check someone in... kinda made us feel bad about booking the economy room. It was definitely very loud, the door doesn't reach the floor so as other guests are in and out late night/early morning you hear it all. Also advertised is a restaurant attached to the hotel. We spent 55 minutes waiting for coffee to be delivered. Four times someone came to the table and asked if we got coffee yet. Each time we said no they disappeared. They have children working to take orders and deliver food, and when someone else's food got delivered to our table it created utter chaos - I never ended up getting the meal I ordered, they just told me I was fine to eat what I was given. I was still charged for it which was strange. The reason it's getting a mid rating is because of the location. Literally 1 minute walk you're on a gorgeous beach, and you can walk to the Port + downtown in less than 10 minutes.

Zero Greek authenticity and warmth as owners are US or Canadian. Owner is delusional and cannot accept other people’s point of views. Examples as follows. He was complaining to people who checked in late (before us) that they didn’t tell him when they were arriving. He was virtually lecturing them! Way to treat your guests!! Budget room 14 has a wifi black spot and therefore no wifi available. Problem with sewage as room smells bad. Told the owner about lack of wifi and requested room change. He stated wifi is available in reception and I could use here as this is common practice for hotels. He was serious! I laughed at him and completely disagreed based on the hundreds of hotels I have stayed at before which all have wifi in rooms. He then tried to tell me it could be our phones that have the issue. Again I had to laugh as I work in IT and pretty sure iPhones function to connect to wifi! He reluctantly agreed to move me to an “upgraded” room but wanted to charge me the extra cost! When I checked out I refused as I never asked for an upgrade. I simply wanted a replacement room that had wifi working. Not my fault the wifi didn’t work nor what rooms are available. Note the budget and standard room are almost identical with standard have small balcony looking at another hotels entrance. He also charged us for water when we left. Who the hell does this? Most hotels provide free water and even top up daily. With regards to free hotel parking there is none! Avoid at all costs!

Nice and clean
Very clean. Nice room with a minibar with beer, water, sodas and ice tea. Nice balcony with table and two chairs. The bed was a bit too firm for me but I think beds in Greece often are a bit firm. Shower had hot water all the time except for one evening. Hairdryer in the room. Good breakfast for a regular price. Close to Livadia beach, restaurants, bus station, shops and grocery store.

Nice and central close to beach and restaurants
Should be more descriptive on site advertised. Would of liked to have a ocean front balcony the whole 5 days without having paid extra for upgrade and only 2 days with ocean view.

Response from Ioanna on 23 Sept 2017
Thanks for your review Steve.This is an opportunity for me to explain that the budget room, is reserved by students and back packers.( averaging 18-26 years of age). It is an aged room, and its facilities are basic. There is no balcony either. While it is cheaper than the standard rooms, it is a simple room, with an everyday cleaning service, which allows the budget traveler a safe, clean stay.

small hotel, quiet on the front
We opted for a budget room. Very plain but comfortable and serviced most kindly each day with replacement towels as well. The room has air on if wanted. The staff were very pleasant and concerned for us. The hotel feels quiet and that is what we came for. As a guest you have the option of the cafe on the front of the hotel with a range of nice items at reasonable local cost. We could come and go at any hour, not that we do. Security seems very good; the room we had was strongly lockable, had continental style windows, very robust indeed and then the dwelling part of the hotel has its own attractive lobby with powerful protective doors and windows. No holiday thieves should be able to get in that. We weren't staying long but got a few days of gastronomic pleasure, a tour or two and lots of peaceful time. Nice position on the front with super views. Very good.

There's No Place Like Home, Except Hotel Paros!!
I love Hotel Paros! My daughter and I went to Paros in August 2016, and my daughter went back with her friend May 2017. The first time we stayed, we met Jennifer, who made us feel like family. We left feeling like we had made a very special friend. When my daughter went back last week, Jennifer wasn't there, but her husband greeting my daughter, and once again made her feel very welcomed. My husband and I are going back in September 2017, and there is no question on where we will stay. There are lots of choices, but we will always choose Hotel Paros!

Friendly and convenient hotel at a good price
From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we were well looked after by the staff in this family-run hotel. The room was perfect for our needs as efficient travellers, there was nothing more we needed. The hotel is positioned about five minutes from the lively port area, and a hop, skip, and a jump from the family beach. All amenities were close by, so we're were very content with our choice of accommodation. I would choose Hotel Paros again without hesitation.

Paradise in paros
We spent two nights in Paros after visiting some of the other islands. The proximity to the port is ideal - it is an easy stroll to the hotel, and the bar/cafe below was great for a cheap meal and drinks. We were greeted by Jenny who went over and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed during our stay. Our room was light, bright and clean. It was a 2 min walk to the swimming end of the beach. It's only a 5 min walk to the old town/night life. The location is great. Overall this is a lovely family run hotel. Jenny made our paros experience easy and relaxed - just what we needed. Thank you - I highly recommend hotel Paros.
