Amphitryon Hotel

Photos do not reflect reality. There was no sunroof deck, just a bare space with no furniture, floorboards coming up. Room was tiny, no shelves or hooks in bathroom, had to move three sets of sliding doors to open the small drawers. Lobby and rooms were dreary. Food was ok, location of hotel was good, but so much street noise at night that it was a problem sleeping (and we live on a noisy street in Manhattan, so we are used to noise). Worst problem was NO internet in rooms; you had to go down to lobby or lounge in order to access the internet.

Believe the low reviews. The hotel was likely once lovely and boasts a great location and views. However the hotel has been poorly maintained and is suffering for updates and a more diligent cleaning staff. The pool is at a sister property up the hill but we were unable to access it due to a private event which was frustrating since we explicitly booked this hotel to have a pool. The WiFi did not work. There was no staff in sight at the front deck or the bar to order a drink.

We very nearly didn't stay here because of the poor reviews. Our experience was excellent. Beautifully positioned, with outstanding views from the balconies and within a few minutes of lovely cafes, restaurants and the town square. Our bedroom was huge with spa bath, seperate toilet and shower and double wash basin. Bed very comfortable and the balcony with those amazing views! Breakfast was plentiful and all staff very helpful and friendly. Our room was on the 1st floor so had the potential to be noisy with adjacent road, but we heard nothing. Also, the balcony y here was very sheltered should there be winds. Yes there are a lot if switches to manage lighting/ curtains but you soon get used to these. I have already recommended this hotel to others - and we only left a couple of days ago!

Fantastic location with a beautiful view. Nice staff, very helpful. Good value for money. Premises a bit run down. Weird atmosphere as off season.

The staff and service was excellent. The view from the room was beautiful. The breakfast was satisfactory. The staff were very, very helpful and friendly.

This hotel has seen better days. The view is spectacular but, as others have noted, the parking is almost impossible and the Wi-Fi leaves a lot to be desired. The breakfast is ok - nothing spectacular. One’s sense is that it has suffered from changing fashions and the financial crisis and it needs a lot on investment. However the staff are very helpful. It’s important to note that you can use the pool at the companion hotel up the hill - just ask for directions to the elevator in a tunnel in the rock. We had an excellent meal there.

Hotel location is great, fantastic views of the sea from all rooms. Booke an executive room and family room for the 3 teenager kids. Family room was good with 2 rooms, a double and a single bed. The Good was Location and Views and some of the Staff were very polite but not helpful in sharing info. Hotel is dated, rooms and furniture even worse. Bubbling walls in public areas, strange smell in the corridors. Balcony furniture pretty uncomfortable, we saw that other rooms beside has extra pillows on wooden bench, seems not enough for all executive rooms though, we were not the lucky ones. Breakfast was poor, staff was polite but offered extra things only once one had finished his breakfast !!! Definitely inadequate breakfast for 350 euro/night. While arrived and needed to park and drop off luggage, person in front door did not offer any help although told we were going to check in. Ater making rounds and eventually found place to park in the street, when at the lobby he told us that we can go park to the other hotel on top of the hill... thanks for not offering the info earlier and send us to look for a place to park in the street!!! Definitely no value for money. Old glories now gone, seems only prices are high at the hotel.

We arrived to the hotel and noticed that the pool is located in a different hotel which is from the same chain. As my son was before knee surgery and had difficulties to walk and a pool is necessary in this heat, we could change without extra charge to the Naflia Palace Hotel & Villas. It was amazing. The view, the relaxing atmosphere, the service was outstanding! There is a problem with the Wifi and part of the hotel is closed and there is no gym, but we were happy and satisfied.
