阿爾戈斯托利翁Catholic church of St Nicolai附近酒店

I'll start off with a few of the good things about the hotel before listing the poor things. The view from the room was too die for. You couldn't beat it, absolutely amazing. The staff were always helpful whenever we needed anything so have no quarrells with that one either. The pool facilities there are also great, one of the best pools I've actually ever used, the sun loungers are a bit dated but they're good enough! However, the steps... You'll read about this in most of the reviews. If you have any disabilities, this is not the hotel for you. We counted over 150 steps you have to go up for our room, now if you plan on doing the pool, then lunch, then dinner, these steps do mount up. ”There's lifts!”, there are two lifts which do help, however, one of them is broken and by reading other reviews, has been for over a year. We were actually lead into the first broken lift by an employee and was stuck in there in the heat for 15 minutes before being let out by another employee. I'm not sure if this is just a european thing, but I do feel obliged to mention these two things. The beds are rock solid, if you're british and used to a lovely soft bed, forget what you know because these are something different. We woke up aching some days. Another small gripe and again, seems to be a greece in general thing, 'Don't flush the toilet roll down the toilet, use the bin next to you', first of all, how disgusting to have a bin full of excrement, I'm sure you can guess what we did, flushed it. We went down for breakfast every day at roughly 8:30-9AM, there's a wide selection, but all the hot meal items were cold, every single time. Such a shame, I did report this but alas, no change. There's so much potential with this hotel and definetely was not the worst hotel to stay at, but there's much better out there.

Such a wonderful gem of a hotel, in a perfect location next to the square and a stones throw from the water where you will find the sea turtles. A warm welcome upon arrival and if your room is ready you will be able to check in early. Hotel is beautiful and well maintained- cleaners are always around mopping floors ect. Definitely have the breakfast package if you stay here. Rosa makes all the food food fresh for the morning and there will be something different every day. The food is delicious and offers true Greek cuisine. The only negative thing I have to say about this hotel is our room could have been better in terms of updating.. the shower was a bit dated although the hot water was endless. The beds and wardrobes could also do with an upgrade. But overall this hotel is so wonderful and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Leivatho Hotel met all our personal criteria: good location and prime view, fine sense of design and architecture, green areas, attentive and friendly personnel, large beds with sleep-friendly mattresses, good nearby infrastructure with good taverns, a non-crowded sandy beach (Avithos Beach) located nearly at the door and last but not least ... SUSTAINABILITY We like the hotel's ambitious environmental engagement (supposedly pretty rare in Greek tourism so far). Suggestions for further improvements: Why not become “plastic-free” (the beautyful island partly sinks into plastic waste, you can find plastic bottles seaming roads, covering fields, waiting in dry waterbeds just to be washed into the Ionian Sea by the next autumn rain). Why not strictly use paper straws, offer honey and butter from local acriculture in glass cups? Why not provide a charging station for electric cars (we saw more of them than expected)? CULINARY The rich breakfast offered some typical greek elements and is fine, if your definition of the perfect breakfast is not equivalent to fancy bread. Since we've had outstanding nearby taverns (like Avithos Preview) we didn‘t even try the hotel's cuisine. But we liked their tasty smoothies, welcome-juice and the free accessable flavored water. WIFI Even if full WIFI access is not granted all time in all studios (bugging Youtube-loving teenagers) the hotel complex always provides free accesses, e.g. in the lounge. WEBSITE COMMUNICATION and EXPECTATIONS Concerning the Hotel's communication and in this regard potentially raised expectations: please don't build on an expansive pool or cold, sterile, polished architectural magazine-like perfectionism. If you can live with a small (but neat) pool and overlook tiny ravages of time flaws you can have a great relaxing time in this resort. So, why a 5 star rating? Despite the above-mentioned minor things that could easily be fixed or improved, we love the hotel's overall package (attitude, design and staff). We would choose Leivatho Hotel again at any time.

Excellent location close to the (not at all busy or intrusive) airport. The hotel has a quite expensive feel to it at very reasonable room rate. We took the B&B option as we had a car and like visiting tavernas rather than hotel food but the buffet breakfast is as good as you would expect of any 4/5* hotel so no worries there. We arrived back daily to fantastic sunsets from the pool area where we drank sundowners. The rooms are in individual blocks of four (two up two down) with well positioned balcony`s that allow a good degree of privacy from next door. We had a ground floor garden view in block 10 which we enjoyed tremendously.
