Very basic but it seemed clean. Saw a few ants on my bed but slept fine and didn’t have any insect bites when I woke up. It’s walkable to the main part of Monemvasia across the bridge and they have parking. Old style keys. Not bad just haven’t seen those in long time. For the price I would recommend

The hotel is just at the end of causeway, with a wonderful view of sea and the Rock. The reception is very friendly and helpful, providing us the map and info of Monemvasia. Room is spacious, but the bathroom is small.

A killer view...and an easy walk.
This hotel has the best view of "The Rock" in the entire area. It not only has a lovely little taverna out back but a lot of the locals hang out in the front--a perfect mix of tourists and townsfolk that you don't often get while traveling. Also an easy walk to Monemvasia.

Quaint Hotel Right by the Sea
Monemvasia was beautiful, Hotel Aktaion was in a perfect location! Lots of parking out back. Right next to the water, we could see the peninsula from our balcony. There are great breakfast restaurants just downstairs and everything is completely walkable. For the price the hotel is fantastic, completely serviceable room. The bed was a little hard but that just seems to be the norm everywhere we've stayed in Greece. 10/10 would stay here again.

Good location. Good value.
This hotel is a very good value. It's clean and comfortable, and the staff is very nice. I had a balcony that overlooks the harbor, with a view of the mountain. It's very central, being right near the causeway to Monemvasia. You can't go wrong here.

Very friendly and attentive staff. The owner and staff went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. We arrived late New Year’s Eve and everything was closed. We asked to used their kitchen to cook some food. The owners son not only cooked it for us, he even brought it up to our room with plates and silverware. Hotel is also conveniently located.

Great location
Perfect location and comfortable stay. This hotel is right down at the junction to walk to the sites. I can understand what people say about the hotel lobby and smoke but did not experience any of that negative element during our stay. Staff were friendly and the hotel is in the heart of the harbor. I would stay here again.

Excellent value hotel in a great location
We had a very pleasant stay here. Our balcony had a nice view out over the harbor and the room was very large and had A/C. The location of the hotel is perfect and you can walk to anywhere you want to visit in this city. The bathroom was good-sized for a modest priced room and clean. The water was plenty hot. This hotel offered an excellent value for our short stay in Monemvasia; we would stay here again.

Great location with beautiful views
Great value accommodation right next to the bridge that leads to Monemvasia Island with beautiful views of the island and the small harbour. Staff were friendly and gave me an upgraded room with an even better view. However all rooms here appear to have a balcony with views either over the island, the harbour or both. Rooms were of a good size, they have air con and were very clean. There is free parking right outside and it is right next to all the restaurants and bars yet the rooms are still very quiet. Would highly recommend and great value for money.

Wonderful stay
The room was wonderful for the short trip we had to see the surrounding area. It is conveniently located next to the buses going to the Castle and to other cities in the Peloponnese. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and helpful. The balcony had a great view of the port, the bridge, and the Castle.

Nice, friendly hotel with EXCELLENT location
Beautiful little village, wonderful little harbour, crystal clear water, local fishing boats bobbing in the water directly in front of the hotel, very friendly helpful staff, good food, great Greek coffee, good place to explore tip of the Mani peninsula. We came for 1 night, and stayed 3. This was best part of our exploration of the Peloponnese. Only need half an excuse to return.

Rude staff
The location of the hotel is great but the staff were way too rude! They didn't even ask our id and then they gave issues about who was staying at the room (of course they didn't know as they hadn't checked when we arrived) and us having breakfast which we had paid 20 euros for.

Great hotel and very convenient to Monemvasia
Very reasonably priced hotel just off the edge of the causeway to the Rock of Monemvasia. I had a single room with a great view of the rock. The building does not have a lift but is only a few floors high. The bus stop for the KTEL bus to Sparta and Athens is outside Monemvasia Travel which is only two doors away so very convenient for transport.

Great location in Gefira
I stayed at Aktaion Hotel with my wife for two days, and had a pleasant experience. The hotel is very well positioned for those that don't want to spring to stay on the rock, and the options for food surrounding the hotel are wonderful. Overall, our stay here was great. The room had a fantastic view of the rock of Monemvasia from one balcony, and the other balcony overlooked the small harbor at Gefira. In general, this was a great option, and I would definitely stay here again. The only two notes that I have that could be improved were: The water in the shower is not very hot. Warm enough for a quick shower, but on a cold night in Greece, a hot shower is enjoyable. The other is that the smoke smell from other rooms can be pretty strong. It was not overwhelming, but at times those that are sensitive to smoke could have issues with the smell from other rooms seeping in through the door. Neither of these issues were deal breakers for us, it just depends on your preferences...

Perfect location for Monemvasia, budget-priced, clean ( air conditioned!) room with large balcony facing the bay and the beachfront (and the lighted rock with castle ruins at night). Food was deliciously varied, presented with genuine care -- clearly a family-owned hotel where guests are regarded as important visitors. Location is right at the start of the causeway, 20-minutes' easy walk to Monemvasia -- where we enjoyed dessert each evening in a tiny medieval 'home' atop the rock.

Reasonable gateway to Monemvasia
Our family room had a view on the sea and the rock of Monemvassia. Although the hotel is at the bridgehead to the old city, the room was silent (in off season I have to add). The room was furnished appealingly, the bath is not too spacious. 5 of us could fit, but the room is optimal for 4 persons.

Zentrale Lage im Hafen. Wir hatten in der zweiten Etage das Zimmer, dort war es sehr ruhig, schöner Ausblick. Auf Anfrage haben wir einen Wasserkocher, Löffel und Schälchen erhalten, sodass wir unser Frühstück im Zimmer selbst zubereiten konnten. Das Zimmer ist recht klein. Für 1-2 Nächte aber optimal, besonders wenn man es günstig buchen kann. Kommen gerne wieder
