Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Royal Ariston Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Royal Ariston Hotel offers guests amazing sea views from its large rooms, some even from the bathroom, creating the feeling of being on a boat. The location in Lapad provides a quiet, tropical vibe, with easy access to a bus stop for visiting the old city; guests can also enjoy a two-mile walk along the water, passing various restaurants. Breakfast on the terrace with a sea view is a highlight for many, and amenities like L'Occitane products are appreciated; however, some guests have noted that certain room details could use updating. Guests can enjoy multiple pools and a small private beach.

The ocean view from the bedroom really charmed me and the size was generous. I found high-end cosmetics in the bathroom, such as lotions and soaps. The buffet at breakfast provides ample choices with tasty food. Staff at the restaurants seem always working hard and keep the place well.
