  a transit hotel, not for holidays

  05 Jul 2025

  Location is just by the port, which is very convenient, when arriving or leaving by ferry. Check-in was easy and the receptionist gave us a larger room (with four beds), when we told her that the first room had no space to put anything, even the wardrobe was just full of blankets and pillows.The second room was large, but facing the backside, where the balconies are covered with pigeon droppings. It was cleaned the next day, but the pigeons returned. Bed was comfortable, but the shower cubicle in the bathroom was too small and one could not bend in there, also water pressure was quite weak.Breakfast is served outside. No buffet, but quite a rich plate is brought to the table. The coffee was not strong at all and we had to ask for extra milk.

  OK, good first, very close to port. That's it. Bad, rooms are shabby, extractor fan in bathroom was going even when the light was out. No matress protectors om ned, DISGUSTING. Noisy at night time. No charm and Greek style. On the last night the hotel filled will acrid smoke!!!

  Not best

  29 Mar 2025

  Hardest mattress, Noisy rooms, no soundproofing or maybe we were just unlucky having couple groups of girls laughing and shouting to each other till past midnightBut worst was strong smell of sewerage in bathroom, enough make feel sick.It was late evening check in and straight out to get food so didn’t open bathroom door. By time we came back and opened bathroom door there was no one on the desk so couldn’t ask to change room.Good position for port

  An amazing hotel

  23 Jul 2024

  We stayed in the lovely Hotel Kontes recently for 3 days. I could not recommend the hotel more. The rooms were amazing. The staff were so helpful. There was one member of staff in particular who made our staff even better. Her name was Gillian. She provided us with so much information and assisted us where she could. I could not recommend this place more. And it is in such a close proximity to the port and bus terminal.

  They almost ruined our sought-after vacation in Paros!

  03 Jul 2024

  HOTEL KONTES, july 3 2024They almost ruined our sought-after vacation in ParosPlease, go else-where, …if you can!For details, keep on reading.Thank you for your interest.Expectations…We had built great expectations on Hotel Kontes by reading some reviews and lookig at the photos of the hotel, and by some very nice e-mail exchanges…but we were immediately disapointed upon arrival.My wife and I arrived in Paros early in the morning, after a night flight from Barcelona, getting a connection flight in Athens and picking-up a rented car at Paros airport.The island greeted us with a warm, sunny, brilliant morning! All was running perfectly well!… and DisapointmentAnd then, we dropped our luggage at the corner next to the hotel, and we immediately realised the Hotel Kontes we were standing in front of was, and was not, the one we had seen online and had booked for our vacation in Paros.We were exhausted from the night long travels and could not believe what we saw. The hotel was not really first line in front of the harbour, but hidden beside a corner, the sea could only be seen from the alley to the enttance…The reception was unwelcoming. There was a stange perfume floating on the air. Our room was not ready yet (we had asked for an early check-in, which could not be guaranteed due to the hotel being fully booked).We could not stay at the reception to rest. There is not a nice hall a to relax…Worst of all, the much-desired breakfast existed only in photos. BreakfastThe hotel has no restaurant nor a coffee-shop, and the breakfast the hotel includes in their offer is a totally unappetizing pre-set continental breakfast, with filtered coffe.That breakfast is offered at the terrace of the neighbouring restaurant, and there is no possibility to change the set menu, exclude it from the booking or get a refund.Yes, the terrace you see on the hotel website does not belong to the hotel…Since that breakfast upon arrival was not paid for in the reservation, we went for a proper breakfast at the hotel Oasis, right in the corner overlooking the harbour and the opposing Krios beach.LuckThe Oasis Hotel staff, led by Maria, was so welcoming and simpathetic that we even checked if they would have a room for us.We were lucky, for they had a vacancy, and we could start in a standard room and then move to a room with a sea-view!!!Is there a way out?After finnishing breakfast, we returned to Hotel Kontes to check for the possibility to cancel our reservation, and ready to accept a penalisation.It was June 28th, a Friday early in the morning, and demand was high, so we expected the hotel would not be much damagedNo-way!!!We would have to pay for the whole booking of four nights. The receptionist claimed not to be entitled to return the money (that, by the way, had not been charged yet against the credit card…)After trying to negotiate a way-out, we surrendered and asked to file a complaint, but we were indicated to reach out for the office (in Athens), which would not open until 10 am, two hours later… So the receptionist (Gillian) offered to send a message to the officer in charge to get in touch with us…later.Sea-view?When we had tried to book through Booking, some weeks in advance, we could not find a room with sea-view for our dates, and checked with the hotel for availability. They could not guarantee the sea-view for there was a booking overlap, but maybe… and we finnally booked direct.Some days passed away, there was no indication that we would get a room with the sea-view and we finnally settled for a “deluxe room, flexible rate, breakfast/breakfast”No need to look for the sea-view rooms… there are only two of them in the hotel (so they said), probably always booked.What you see…is what you get!Compliments for the photographer: he or she made a great job making the hotel look just in front of the harbour, by the sea…which it is, but hidden behind a corner…And making Hotel Kontes looking more appealing and warm by far that it is actually.The photo of a nice breakfast table set in front of the harbour…is virtualiy impossible with the current terrace. By the way, the restaurant does not belong to the hotel, nor the breakfast in the photo is what you get included in the price.EndingWe finnally stood in the Hotel Kontes, to avoid paying twice the hotel.The room is correct, the bed is not very comfortable (according to my wife).The aiconditioning is noisy, but neccessary. It provided fresh air at night, and also a disturbing light.Since we had already paid for it, we went to try the breakfast…and let it there and went somewhere else, and paid teice for breakfast every morning.We reminded Gillian our wish to get in touch with management, every morning, and she promised to send another message every time. We are about to land back in Barcelona, and we are still waiting for a reply from the office…located in Athens.Paros has been a great experience, much enjoyed, in spite of our poor choice of hotel.
