    Good location, just a few minutes down walk to the beach. Welcoming and friendly owner who ensure the room is cleaned and sheets changed daily. Not sure about the shared kitchen as it wasn't pointed out to us but we had a fridge and some crockery. Best suited if planning on eating out or need to keep some food chilled in the fridge. We enjoyed Poros as it was less touristy which suited us.

    We can't find a single negative thing to say about the hotel and already plan to visit again.

    I came back to Greece after 40, years hoping to find that something remains of the place and people that I'd grown to love. My wife and I found it here at this wonderful little hotel run by Effie and her mum Zoi. What it lacks in luxury it more than makes up for in charm and character. Our room was basic, but clean, comfortable had everything we needed including air conditioning and wi-fi, and a private terrace with a sea view. We hadn't booked breakfast in advance but decided to take it in. Every morning we enjoyed a simple Greek breakfast of coffee, bread, cheese and yoghurt with honey served by Zoi with laughter as we tried to understand each other in Greek and English. If you want a genuine Greek experience, this is the place for you!

    Amazing location, right by the beach in a very small and quite village. It’s not to touristy, but there are still enough tavernas and also bars in walking distance. The room itself was practical but had all whats needed (eg. airconditioning, fridge, kettle, storage). The highlight of the room was definitely the amazing terrasse with sea view. The host, Effi, is an angel. Not only did she clean the rooms everyday but she also made us feel at home. We had troubles getting a car for rent, so she fixed us up with options what to to and how to get around the island.

    The location of place is great. Close to the sea, near local restaurants and shops. Beautiful balcony overlooking the sea with sun rise in the morning. The room was clean and looked after daily, communication with the host was good and felt welcome. While we had no kitchenette in the room, just the fridge and crockery, there is a comunal kitchen were we made coffee, which was perfect. Very pleasent place and would definitely return.

    nothing!

    The hostess is an amazing lovely woman, who warmly welcomed us in the middle of the night, as our flight was delayed and we were very late, we truly appreciate it! Also, the room was cleaned every day and bed sheets chaged too, we had a beautiful big terrace with the sea view. Air con was working perfectly and it saved us during the hot nights. It’s maybe not a fancy, but nonetheless a brilliant, family runned place to stay if you are in Poros. The beach is 2 mins walk, cafes and restaurants from 2 to 10 mins walk too. As we prefer staying further from touristic places, we were very satisfied with the location. We truly loved and enjoyed our stay!🫶🏻

    Nothing. It was all perfect. Especially for the price.

    I've already posted a review, as it was so good that I stayed for another week; so, I'll just say that Efy and her extremely hard-working mother made this stay more pleasant that I could ever have expected. Good sized room that couldn't get any cleaner. There was a private bathroom, and I enjoyed a large terrace, too. It's in a quiet area, and yet not too far from the livelier part of town, supermarkets; and the main square from where the bus drops you off from Argostoli (5-Euros) (700m to hotel) but above all of that, it's closest to the cleanest beach.

    The friendliest, happiest and cleanest family-run hotel that I've ever stayed-in.

    • Double or Twin Room with Sea View

    There's 'nothing' that I didn't like. Anything that I thought was missing that might help me was provided. The Savoy or the Dorchester would have struggled to find what I needed, and amazingly, Efy and the whole family achieved it. I was very happy with everything. This is far better than a one-star hotel; so, for the money that I paid, I am extremely happy. It was perfect.

    I liked everything. This family-run hotel couldn't be run any better. Everyone works so hard to help meet your requirements and expectations. You forget that this is only classed as a 1-star hotel, but that's only probably because of the lack of certain facilities, as it's far better than some of the 3 and 4-star hotels that I've stayed-in prior-to this trip. The location. Perfect. Just set-back, and only a road away from the coastal beach road, which ends when the beach does; so, there's not much traffic here anyway. A few minutes' walk and you're at the beach. Another 500-metres walk and there's the cheapest, newest and best supermarket. I only noticed this supermarket near the end of my trip, when the two others (in the old part of town) were closed; and I wished that I wasn't so blind, as it had more variety and cost less than the other two supermarkets. Hint: Look for the red sign by 'the bridge' to guide you. Transport. Just beyond 'the bridge' is also the main thoroughfare in and out of Poros. The bus travels through here from Argostoli. Cost 5 Euros. Airport to Argostoli was 2 Euros. May 2024. Hint: Look for a building that says "M.K. Buildings and you'll know you've reached the right part of Poros for Hotel Galini. Nothing else is too far away from here. The port is about the furthest that I walked; (as I'm partially-blind) where the ferry departs from; (Levante.gr) for onward travel beyond Poros. Poros is shielded all around by rocky hills where you can walk up-to heights of about 2000-feet. It's as if Poros has just had a road-width of rock removed to be-able-to build the town. It's 'all' close. It's a very clean hotel. Constantly clean. It's a well-cared-for hotel. Pruned, swept etc... I also had a comfortable new bed and 2 types of pillow. See what's listed to see if what's included satisfies your needs.

    Just to note, the terrace on the lower floor is only separated from the next room by a railing so it’s not very private. I had friendly neighbours so it wasn’t a problem.

    Excellent value for money. Good facilities including fridge and TV. Small but adequate en suite. Huge terrace with sea view. I only met the owner as I was leaving but she was very nice and said I could have had a later check-out if I’d needed it.
