"There was no elevator. We had to help my elderly mother up two flights of stairs to her room. Also, the property allowed smoking. The room and hotel smelled like cigarette smoke. Terrible. "
"This is a beautiful hotel with amazing views and a very good breakfast buffet. If you are ready to take a decent walk through this cobbled town and climb stairs you will be rewarded with a charming room and magical views"
"Very personable staff, especially Aphrodite at dinner! Room (superior suite) was very large and comfortable.
Special accommodations in a very special and unique place!! "
"Charming boutique hotel—cozy, stylish, and well kept. The staff are genuinely courteous and attentive, offering helpful tips and warm service throughout. Food is excellent (breakfast is a standout), making the on-site dining worth staying in for. Convenient location too: about 15 minutes from the center of Monemvasia, so you’re close to the action but in a quieter spot. Overall, great value for a relaxed, quality stay."
"The experience of staying within walls is something else. Monemvasia has managed to capture and maintain the feel of an ancient fortification while giving one the comforts of modern civilization (indoor plumbing!)
The Likinia Hotel is well located, about a 5 minute walk away from the main street and sufficiently separated. At times you even have the feeling that you have the whole fortress to yourself.
Since the family room was the last available option, we had an entire apartment with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms to ourselves. The rooms were very clean and spacious, especially for just two individuals. We recommend booking well in advance or checking with the hotel directly so that you can get an appropriately sized room and allow more people to experience the place :)
The staff were kind and even helped with our bag up the final winding route to the room. The breakfast was a smaller spread but comprised of very high quality food in our opinion. The complimentary bottle of wine for the stay (a regional variety) was also a nice touch.
The view from the room was also quite nice and we could look out onto the sea over the tops of other buildings. It was a really nice experience.
We would recommend the hotel for it's location and will consider going back if we visit Monemvasia again."
