Hotels near PORFYRIS O.E., Ioannina

Located in a quiet place, this hotel overlooks the lake and is in walking distance of the castle and the centre of Ioannina. Very easy parking in the surrounding area, big, clean room and bathroom. Staff was welcoming, kind and helpful and breakfast was amazing with lots of choices of both local and international taste. The rooms need some renovations.

What a beautiful hotel. Both the room and the public areas are decorated with a nod to Byzantine heritage but with style and thoughtfulness. Our room had a powerful shower, mini bar with complimentary items and Nespresso machine. The breakfast offering also included a cooked to order selection. The staff were all so helpful and lovely, making the whole experience. Please book this hotel if you are in Ioannina- it's a gem.

It was a desperate experience, I had the impression that 23 years ago I had gone before, and then everything was new and nice in the rooms, and I thought it would be renovated, but disappointment. Though it was still warm in the autumn and in the evening if you closed the window in a square room, you were to dig, opening when there were no wheat, except old strawberries and old rolls, the mosquitoes immediately ate you to the best. Not to say that right underneath is the center's basins, so you didn't know what else but spiders, crows, mice, bats would finally come into the room while you were sleeping. The AC made it like a broken boat, you were afraid of maintaining it, and it didn't let you sleep, the beds from the 80s, and these were twisting, the closets were incredibly old. A refrigerator with a wooden door, like a closet, with broken paddles, a bathroom with a square and a dirty curtain, which you couldn't even go to the bath without touching you. You didn't even want to wash, because you felt in this square that you'd get dirty somehow. Really two annoying hours of sleep, I went to a center to have a market and a taxi nearby and finally this morning I left for a suburb with all the transport costs, without careing how mentally wronged I was. The positive is that the elevators, receptions and intermediate spaces seem decent and the staff is very kind.

I booked 2 nights and enjoyed lot on staying here, the location is perfect just beside by the castle only walking one minute! Yoli is very warm host and give me very good idea of the visiting around details as soon as my arriving! The hotel and room are beautiful, stylish and antique, clean and bright room, comfortable bedding, Good and very rich breakfast offer! Thank you Yoli, I will miss Ioannia! B.rgds/Jane

A fantastic hotel in the heart of the town. This boutique hotel has been well designed, with all aspects being finished to a high standard and with a modern design, whilst still feeling cosy and luxurious. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We stayed in 1 of the 2 loft suites. It was comfortable, spacious and relaxing. The breakfast, which for us was €10 pppd extra, was excellent. Coffee, bread and pastries, eggs, yoghurt, fruit, juice, all served to your table inside or outside. I cant recommend this hotel enough. Perfect for a couple or a small family.

Well I owed this one to the hotel. Stayed here even in the hard times of Covid when they created a safe shelter for all the people who still had to travel to work. Even in those hard times they maintained the level at the highest level. I have stayed in this hotel more than 40 times. Quality remains the same , service the same , breakfast still working fine for me ( they could offer a free fresh orange juice though would be highly appreciated during breakfast) . In general terms a very safe choice for ioannina just a few minutes from the city centre and in an excellent location for visiting around.

Let's start from the basics. What you see in the photos do not represent reality. Well done to the photographer who managed to hide how dilapidated the accommodation is. Specifically: The rooms too small, one on top of the other. The rooms are filthy, dust everywhere. The glass in the bathroom door has probably never been cleaned (see attached photo). Closets, dirty. Basin; Her bottom had changed color, bleach is never used, not a single day did we smell anything in bleach or anything at all that reminded us of cleanliness. The building is in a bad condition externally (damaged - paintwork) but also internally as the furniture was battered and had lost its color as well as the walls have been painted in the corridors. The aesthetics of the hotel are also miserable, curtains everywhere for no reason with strange lights that you don't see in the corridors at night. The room has too many lights, which do not turn off individually, they have a central switch. So either you will be squinted by the light or you won't be able to see in front of you. In the shower we found half-finished shampoos from the previous ones that the cleaners had not collected. 3 days in a row, they didn't put me a panosedon and I had to call them at 12 at night to bring it to me. The cleaners don't use a vacuum cleaner. Broom and farasi and holy God. On the last day I went back up to the room after breakfast and was sweating, we had to leave it wide open for 10 minutes to let it dry out in the cold. Ok I get that people sweat when they clean and do chores but not like this guys, we couldn't stop. Balcony; Ok, chairs on the balcony? ok Small table? Never, so you can't sit on a balcony if you want (if you want to sit on a balcony in the stink, cobwebs and dust that has literally never been cleaned). Let's go to breakfast: Breakfast in the basement ( -1 ) at tables for 8 people which were full of crumbs and you will necessarily have to eat breakfast with other strangers at the same table. The food stale and plastic, the only nice thing was the water. Napkins missing, only if you asked. On Monday, we went down half an hour after breakfast had ended because no one had informed us that on weekdays it ends earlier. So we left hungry. Kudos to the photographer as he has amazingly managed to camouflage this shack you call a 4 star hotel. And if they paid us, we wouldn't go again. 200 euros a night for a family of 3, I'd rather burn it than give it to them. It is worth noting that the most important problem of all of these is cleanliness. It is not clean, the cleaners do not clean, they enter your room for 5 minutes, throw 2 sheets and leave. I suggest the management to review the staff they have chosen for the cleanliness of the accommodation. 1 star because I can't put 0. Far from specific

Definitely not five star, I would say 4 star is near. Hotel is little bit outdated - i mean paint for flaking etc. Check in process was very slow and the service was good, not excellent. In pool and pool bar service was very average. Bed was great and room too! Balcony was nice but dirty and no chairs or table, why? Garden and pool and the hall of hotel was very beautiful!
