Lesvos, North Aegean Islands hotel rooms at the Independent

"Really nice little boutique hotel in an old mansion. Great breakfast! I liked the sauna and steam room. I had a massage therapist come in which was very cheap and good. Great location some of the best places to eat within 5 minute walk. Rooms are very nice. Would stay here again for sure."

"Stayed here both last year and this summer. Very convenient location between airport and city centre. There is a bus stop right across the hotel but taxi is also very affordable. They have a nice buffet breakfast and rooms are very clean. Friendly staff as well. "

"Hotel has the Best sea/beach in the area. Turnover doesnt meet the expectation. Dinner was good, breakfast product quality was poor. 1.5 hour drive from the ferry. But overall it was a nice stay for us"

"I arrived for a short trip to ISSA and it was a real memorable experience. the room super clean, very supportive check in and the front office team (all of them) are extremly friendly and helpful. I loved their special care and attention during my short visit. I'd always come back...."

"Very average but nice and quiet. Would rate it a 3 star hotel. Service very bland. No smiles. Dinner overpriced, took a very long time and was underwhelming. We were put at a table in the lobby because the restaurant was closed for an event. Room was clean. But very cheap low grade 1 star hotel amenities (shampoo soap etc) There was a single "free"nescafé coffee stick in the room (we are two people) and the creamer sticks were opened and empty. Called down to reception and asked for an information sheet with the WiFi info, room service numbers etc that they said was in the room, but wasn't. They said that we really didn't need the info on the sheet and didn't send one up. No one was rude in any way. But real 5 star service wasn't there. We booked the hotel based on the fact that there were indoor pools. Nowhere did we read that it was 12 euros per person, per half an hour until we got there. We looked at using the outdoor cold pool until we knealt down to feel the temperature of the water and noticed hundreds of little wormlike things lining the edge of the water. We realize we are the end of the season but if the pool is not going to be maintained, it should just be closed down. Breakfast was decent but they struggled to keep things stocked up like cutlery and other items. All in all.. Nice property and location but expect 3 star amenities and service. Absolutely not expected 5 star quality that they rate themselves. Looks impressive initially but in reality is just ok. "
