It's been years since I returned to Ioannina. We got lucky when I booked our stay in the Grand Serai. The location is excellent, the breakfasts are wonderful and the hotel itself is lovely. We stayed for six days. Over that time you get a feel of about a place. Would I stay here again? Absolutely!
Response from Property: Dear Ted, We are very pleased to hear that you spent a wonderful time with us and that you appreciated the hotel services and facilities. It is lovely to hear that all your expectations were met. With the hope that you will continue to visit Ioannina in the future, we remain for your next travels. Till then we wish you the very best. With regards, The Hotel Management

John, the security officer and porter, looked after us wonderfully, both during our stay at the hotel, and then also when we bumped into him at his, and our, favourite restaurant. John epitomises the level of hospitality we find whenever we come to Ioannina. The hotel was clean, our room spacious, the breakfast plentiful.
Response from Property: Dear guest, We're thrilled to hear that John, left such a positive impression on your stay. Your compliments regarding the cleanliness of our hotel, the room, and the breakfast offerings are deeply appreciated. It would be our pleasure to welcome you back for another exceptional experience whenever your travels bring you our way again. Warm regards, The Hotel Management

Positives:.excellent service of staff in all areas of the hotel and the food we had at the bar was amazing. Negative: do not stay in room 222. It is opposite the lift and on top of the lobby. It is extremely noisy at night and in the morning and in fact any time of day. You can hear every word people are saying when they are waiting for the lift, you can also hear guests and the cleaners passing by and chatting and pushing their trollies and you can hear people talking in the lobby. I complained about the room but was met with sympathy and not much else. I would challenge the owner/manager to stay in this room for one night...he/she might be shocked. Very disappointing for a 5 star hotel. Even though the hotel is very nice and well located, one room can ruin your complete stay. By the way, if you are in the bathroom you can also hear the person above you in their bathroom...I will not go into these awful details.
Response from Property: Dear guest, We deeply regret to learn about the inconvenience you experienced during your stay. We apologize for failing to meet your expectations in this regard. We understand that one negative aspect can overshadow an enjoyable stay, and we sincerely apologize for any disappointment caused. Your comments have been shared with our management team for further review and improvement. Should you choose to stay with us again in the future, we would be honored to have the opportunity to restore your faith in our hotel. Kind regards, The Hotel Management

Great service and location, in the heart of Ioannina. It’s a 2 min walk from the shops and restaurants of the center. The staff was very polite and helpful. Beautiful hotel, very clean and beautifully decorated! Also the breakfast had so many delicious food, fresh fruits and vegetables, freshly baked cakes, bread and pancakes!

Large hotel with the best chandeliers I have ever seen. Used by lots of groups, including schools - we had some noise problems. Breakfast has everything you could think of except proper orange juice - a strange omission, what they had was a cordial. Although the weather was quite warm the airconditioning was not yet available. Staff pleasant, bar prices not too high. Good bathroom and room size and furnishings good.
Response from Property: Dear ME M, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are very happy to hear that you were impressed by the magnificent chandeliers in our hotel. We appreciate your feedback and rest assured that we will review our options to better cater to our guests' preferences. Please accept our sincere apologies, regarding the noise issues you encountered. Thank you once again for your valuable feedback. We hope to welcome you back soon for an even more enjoyable stay. Best regards, The Hotel Management

Grand Serai is an elegant hotel. It deserves the five stars it has. Spacious and comfortable lobby, good cafe and rooms large and perfectly kept. The bed is the best you can imagine. Rich breakfast and timely room service. Highly recommendable

Our family of four stayed for two nights at a two-bedroom, two bathroom executive suite (394). Not the best view ever but it was incredibly roomy and thank the Lord for the two bathrooms (anyone with teens will know what I mean). Taste is a personal thing and the decor was not to our taste despite the clearly expensive choices - velvet sofas, heavy rugs, dark wood and Swarovski chandeliers absolutely everywhere; on the other hand, the dedicated and pleasant staff most definitely were. From checkin to checkout, they were all professional and pleasant, dealing with any issues that arose immediately, with humor and a smile. The breakfast had a very good selection and the staff were working hard to keep everyone happy. Pity that the pool and spa were not open the first night of our stay and pity that the gym was such a let-down (not a nice space and the treadmill was out of order). Ample and secure parking on the grounds, a short walk to historic sites, cafes and restaurants.
