Clean and comfortable hotel. No front desk staff was a bit of an issue for us…..we aren’t use to the all digital type room and building entry. Once we got in and in our room it all worked out. We had stayed previously when it was under a different setup and enjoyed it so much that we wanted to return with our family. Location is great with close proximity to train, major sightseeing and places to shop and eat. We will definitely stay there again when we return to Athens.

Stunning property nestled between a couple of other related properties. Very quiet and beautiful grounds, rooms and accommodations. The staff are incredible; friendly, welcoming and eager to help make the stay a pleasure - and it was. We spent 5 days here; 5 days of that truly decadent breakfast, 5 days enjoying the luxurious grounds and service. Lana and the staff here made us feel like family. Arkoudi, the nearby town, is wonderful and has some great restaurants and a really nice bay beach if you find you want to explore outside this Grecotel resort area. My work brought us here, and it's been a lovely discovery - we would like to return to the area and the Mandola Rosa for another trip in the future!
