My stay at the Byzantino was an absolute delight! The rooms have such great character and were incredibly comfortable, offering stunning sea views from high up in the tower. The location couldn't have been better, and the service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to make my weekend trip truly memorable. However, the noise from the nearby bar was a bit of a downside, keeping me up until the early hours of the morning.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated with lovely period features, offering magnificent sea and mountain views. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff available for any requests. The location within the castle of Monemvasia was fantastic, providing a unique experience with easy access to the sights. However, the dining options were limited to unhealthy choices, which was a downside.

The hotel's location within the castle walls of Monemvasia was fantastic, with the stairway to the upper city right outside our room. It was in a quiet area near the main square of the castle, providing a convenient and unique stay.

The dining experience was very unhealthy, with only limited healthy options available. The typical Greek foods were of good quality but lacked a variety of healthier choices.

The facilities offered car hire, laundry services, and paid airport shuttle, making the stay convenient. However, the dining options could be improved.

I stayed at a traditional hotel in the heart of Monemvasia with stunning views over the city and sea, but was disappointed by the noise and cleanliness issues. The service was outstanding and the central location was ideal, although there were some odors due to wind exposure. The dining experience offered a variety of local Greek dishes, elevating the stay, and the facilities were convenient.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While I loved the traditional style and the balcony in the room, it was not very suitable for the elderly. On the positive side, the location allowed me to swim in crystal clear waters just a few meters away and enjoy the convenience of bars and restaurants right on my doorstep.
