    What a fairytale hotel! It’s located in the lower town of Monemvasia overlooking the ocean and the beautiful traditional buildings. Absolutely gorgeous. Everything was clean, beautiful, and historical. We hope to be back.

    Great hotel, located at the end of the village, but relatively easy to find (in a village with no transportation inside, besides foot, and easy to get lost at night). Very large and comfortable room, excellent breakfast, and warm, friendly and helping staff. Highly recommended.

    Perfect! Monemvasia is hard work to get to: long drive, awkward parking on the causeway, paths not for those unstable on their feet, and you will definitely want to hire the porter to take your suitcases (5 euro). But once you are there, it is amazing. Peaceful at all times, and once the daytime tourists have left, it's practically silent apart from the waves. Host was helpful. Breakfast was excellent. View great - even from the cheapest room. Sitting in the hotel courtyard making friends with the cats, sitting on the cafe terrace reading a book, browsing the shops and restaurants, or exploring the paths to the castle - great memories!

    In general, the hotel was good. If we would look at the details, the bathroom would need a renovation and the room a very deep cleaning because it smelled a bit of old air/mold.

    The staff was very friendly, especially Tatiana. The location of the hotel was excellent as it was just a straight line from the entrance of the castle. The breakfast was fresh and with a satisfying variety (plus points for freshly squeezed orange juice). The view from the room was outstanding.

    I would have loved a Nespresso coffee maker.

    Exceeded all expectations. Such a beautiful building and lovely decor. Very reflective of the town. Extremely comfortable and so much larger than expected. Breakfast was a big bonus. Very tasty and lots of variety. We never wanted lunch after such a filling breakfast.

    Not clear in instructions where to go for check-in, causing unnecessary carrying of luggage up and down the slippery rocky paths and steps.

    I didn’t like the absence of shutters or dark curtains on the doors of the room.

    We liked the traditional character and atmosphere of the building. The breakfast area was beautiful as well as the food choices.

    Unfortunately there was no WiFi in our room. The doorway to the room and the bathroom were easy to bump our heads on (nothing can be changed about that though, it’s an ancient building!), and the cleaners of the building across the way are loud in the morning. Again, it’s nothing the Malvasia hotel can fix, and overall they were not big problems.

    Location within the walls of the city was wonderful. Our “partial sea-view triple” room up on the second level was extremely charming and the bathroom with shower was unusually nice for an older building, with a window. The beds and furnishings were very nice, and there was a mini-fridge. The breakfast area has an amazing view from the terrace and the food was good, especially the coffee and bougatsa :-)

    A great hotel in the Malvasia Castle. The room was very clean and comfortable with a great view of the walled in city and the sea. Wonderful small and unique community to visit. The reception staff was helpful and friendly.

    The cleaning lady was quite abrupt and with attitude when we were 1/2 late checking out. We were late checking out because there was no electricity and therefore no hot water. We waited until there was electricity to heat up the water for a morning shower.

    Really nice hotel (the opposite of corporate): characterful rooms in a beautiful setting, the historical pedestrianised town of Monemvasia. A good buffet breakfast served in a pretty courtyard (or inside if preferred). Sea view from my balcony.

    We were confused by the location information on Booking. A reference to the office at the entrance to the village would be helpful.

    Spending the night in Malvasia has a special charm. And this accommodation reinforces this impression. The breakfast is sumptuous. The location is also perfect for staying for several days. Wonderful ambience in old architecture.

    Nothing bad at all. Only comment would be that it has limited natural light due to its location. However in a way this adds to the cosiness.

    Friendly host and a great location. Room was very cosy and had everything you needed.
