Reviews and Ratings
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.
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.
The hotel is uniquely nestled in the village, offering stunning sea views from the ancient hammam rooms. The service is exceptional and goes above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. The central location is unbeatable, right at the entrance of the castle, though it can get lively with the nearby popular bar's guests. The dining experience is exceptional, with a variety of traditional Greek dishes. Overall, a wonderful stay with authentic charm and excellent service.
I stayed in a building separate from the reception room in an original old stone house. The room was perfect for me, but I found it poorly equipped and not enjoyable overall.
