Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Athinoula is a popular choice, especially given its strategic location near tavernas and only 200m from the beach. Guests often appreciate the refreshing and great-sized pool, along with the convenience of included air conditioning. Many found the rooms comfortable and bright, some overlooking the pool and bar, though a few guests found the breakfast to be somewhat basic. Still, the hotel is considered a great value, with renovated rooms often featuring a large fridge and soundproof windows.
