    A very relaxing and enjoyful stay.

    The location was perfect, not too far away from the harbor and the Chora. The accommodation was very clean and quite and the Hotel Glaros offered us to use the sun beds on the beach in front of the hotel, for free..! It was obvious to us, that the "new" hotel management generation (both sons) were on the way to exceed the performance of the "old" generation (mother & father). We really enjoyed the family atmosphere and the generous hospitality.

    not a thing

    Really cute hotel, family owned in a great area. The rooms are very clean, comfortable beds with an amazing spacious balcony with a view. They have a wonderful beach right in front and it is free. You are walking distance to the restaurants and the port, the bus to Chora center goes every 15mins and other buses to other beaches as well. The breakfast is amazing and the family owns it is so nice

    What we didn't like was the following incident. Upon checking out, a lady that I assume is the owner, kind of told us off in a didactic tone about weird-looking blueish purple stains on the sheets. She was insinuating that we had stained them, whereas we had most certainly not. In fact, we had noticed the stains when laying on the sheets and had found them weird. All k. all, her attitude was unnecessary and left us with a bad impression. While leaving, the very polite and helpful guy that drove us back to the port told us that, before us, they had noticed pink stains from previous guests, which suggests that even if the guests are accidentally staining the sheets with their clothes, it is probably an indication that the hotel should buy better sheets or change their detergent and certainly not accuse their guests of staining them. Regardless, the hotel towels we had in our room were dark blue. So, the stains are most likely caused by such towels, not the guests. Therefore, the problem is the sheets or the towels. This off-putting incident will surely make us stay someplace else on our next visit. Totally unprofessional.

    Nice location on the beach with pretty view. Also, the guy who welcomed us and drove us to and from the port was super friendly and cool.

    Rooms weren’t as luxury as other hotels but for the price it was excellent value

    The property was very good value for what you get. It’s right outside an award winning beach and the day beds are free for hotel guests If ya looking for a cheaper alternative to other accomodation, this is the one for you!

    I’m kinda tall so the bed was a bit short for me, but that’s about it!

    The hotel is sooo pretty, so much atmosphere, and the super kind owners <3 make you feel at home right from the start. The location is amazing, not far from the harbour and town but still in a very calm spot and directly at the beach which is one of the best beaches I visitied on the island. The à la Carte breakfast is delicious and I appreciated the healthy options (lots of eggs, fruits yoghurt). To me it’s a little paradise in the Aegean Sea.

    Lovely family run business! Every member of the family went out of their way to make us feel welcome and at ease. Spotless rooms cleaned everyday with Fresh sheets and towels. Incredible location on the sea front with complimentary use of sun loungers. Nice breakfast and bar. Quiet and peaceful end of the beach. Originally booked 3 nights. Loved it so much, we stayed an extra 6 nights! Would definitely recommend.
