"Slightly aged building and amenities, still great, friendly stuff, clean, everything worked well. Amazing Terrace on the 5th floor with a great view to the harbor, especially in the morning for sunset. They offer turndown service. The room on the first floor was a bit noisy during the Saturday night traffic. Can recommend also in Winter, great value for price."
"Small but kept spotless. We got a free breakfast buffer with our rate and the spread was outstanding. Great location in that you can walk to the Central Market area in 5 minutes."
"I’ve stayed at this hotel many times and this is the first time I didn’t see any hot plate options like eggs and meat. But a staff member asked what I would like and the cook in the back prepared it. It’s the low season, so I suppose that was why."
"Great resort, staff were super helpful especially those at the restaurant. The Spa was amazing and the staff took time to speak with us before recommending treatment to book. Location right on the beach made it a fantastic place to stay. "
"The rooms we got were really nice, very clean and comfortable. The airport noise can be loud, but it didn't really bother us. Very close to the airport, which made it convenient for our early morning flight. "
"We spent an incredible week at Arina hotel in October , 2025. The room on the first line was spacious and clean, the seaside view and a private pool & sun beds were great.
The reception team Natia, Giorgios and all went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.
The evening shows were a real fun especially with entertainment team, dancers and performers. Appreciated that, as there was literally nothing to do or to go to outside the hotel
The food at main restaurant was diverse and delicious, and huge props to the restaurant manager Giorgio and all the staff for their hard work.
Many thanks to the superstar bartenders for the perfect service. Marina, Olga, Myrto, Dimitri, Panagiotis- cheers
I'd highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing and fun getaway. Thank you Arina Hotel, hope to come back soon."
