Bed was very hard. Bathroom had a couple of steps in it, down to the loo and shower.

The welcome at reception was great. Lovely staff and help with bags from Iraklis. Fabulous breakfast. Rooms were intriguing and well-furnished.

We liked everything, but be forewarned that there is no parking at the castle. We drove to the gate, unloaded our luggage, then went back along the road to find a parking space. The guesthouse office is located a few steps in from the castle gate and they help with the luggage. To us, this was part of the adventure!

The windows in our room looked out over the small square in the castle to the open ocean. The room itself was spacious and well-appointed. Monemvasia Castle is fairly compact. Although it is rather isolated across a causeway on an island, there are restaurants and shops within the castle which are only steps away from the room. We explored the lower castle and also hiked up to the upper fortress which is immense. Our stay in April was peaceful, yet unforgettable.

A bit noisy, but that was due to the rooms location on the rock. Property has rooms throughout the rock, so others may have been quieter. Ours was on the main street. Not the property’s fault, just the way it is.

Lovely property. Quite different room. Unique, but matched surroundings.

The room is of course "historical", so a bit old, especially the bed and bathroom, but it is to be expected.

Very practical handling of luggage, great location, lovely staff.

The single bed mattress was quite hard and bumpy

What was not to like? Awesome location, clean rustic room, a fairytale in real life. The owner was very friendly and accommodating, fulfilling all our requests with a genuine smile. The hosts maintained authenticity in their interactions, avoiding typical tourist formalities. We enjoyed our stay immensely and hope to return soon!

We really enjoyed our stay: the family room was an old byzantine house on two levels that has a lot of style. It was located in the center of the Kastro, perfect for discovering the beautiful city of Monemvasia. The hotel team was very welcoming and helpful, paying attention to details for a high-quality stay: as an example the bath towel were delicately perfumed with a light scent of orange. We were also able to borrow additional towels to be able to swim in the sea just outside of the fortified walls where we were able to see lots of colourful fishes (a memorable experience) Breakfast was awesome (best one we had in our week in many hotels across Peloponnese). A memorable stay for us!

The wifi signal is a bit weak and goes on and off. Not the best if you try to work.

I loved the place!! The hotel reception is at the entrance of the castle town of Monemvasia, but the rooms are located in different parts of the village. The room was small but full of personality. Really impressive how they restored the old buildings to get rooms out of them. The staff was welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was amazing!

Loved everything

The balcony had stunning view out over the red rooftops to the sea. The bathroom was beautiful with fabulous sunken shower. The staff were unbelievably nice and helpful.

Not a problem for us, but due to the footprint of this house the stairs between the two levels is steep and so may not be suitable for smaller children or some elderly visitors, although there is a second entrance at the lower level.

Our accommodation was a traditional house on two levels, recently renovated with exceptional taste, just a few metres off the central small street running through the village. It also included a small outside seating area with wonderful views.

Beautiful setup. Worth the 2 night stay.

Loved the style of the rooms, balcony, location in the castle. Breakfast was the best we have had in Greece, lots of typical food, homemade.

As said above, almost all criticism arises from the specifics of Monemvasia castle area. Parking areas are only on the road outside the walls. Be prepared to have your car parked hundreds of meters away. If you chose the hotel for its location just beside the city gate, well - that is only the reception. The hotels owns or rents several rooms and/or buildings all around the castle area. There is no telling where your room will be, how distant from the gate and how many stairs you will need to climb. There are no 2 rooms alike. There is no telling what type of furniture you will get, what size and looks your bath and toilet will have. Or your balcony. My advise is - always ask to see the choice of all rooms available in your paid category. As for the rooms, expect nothing boutique. You will have any type, style and make of furniture, taps, appliances. Many things will be broken or not fully operational, just usable. Our toilet door was missing, I think it got damaged at some point, removed, never returned. As for breakfast, it is served in a separate building, so when choosing your room, have this in mind as well. In one word - if you focus on the small details, MANY THINGS will disappoint you. But the OVERALL STAY will be superb, the place is magical and you will enjoy your time, forgetting the small annoyances. Finally, all hotels and services in Monemvasia Castle area are overpriced, be prepared. And the beach is NOT a beach, just a piece of rock bench above sea level. But great fun for the brave of heart.

The main asset of the property are its location and its staff/owners. Any location within the walls of Monemvasia is memorable and unique. When evaluating the hotel, I am taking in consideration the extremely unique specifics of hospitality business in Monemvasia (explained in the section below). We liked the spirit of the place, the kindness of the staff. The breakfast was good and varied, with many typically Balkan meals and products. Our room had a balcony and a huge bathroom.

The room was great - good sized patio, which was private but still had good views of the bell tower and water, etc. There was a working fireplace, which we enjoyed, and larger living space than I was expecting. It was a good layout with charming historic detail and a modern bathroom.
