Naoussa Hotel Paros by Booking Kottas

Not much, we left early. The location was close to Naoussa, but not walkable due to no shoulder on the road/rough conditions.

Unfortunately, this hotel did not meet our expectations or match what we expected online. Upon arrival, we found the hotel to be in much rougher shape than what was pictured. The property was very dated and dirty. In our room, the air conditioner barely worked— to the point we woke up sweaty. The walls were visibly dirty and had smears and splatter on them and there was a hairball on the floor. The toilet would not flush, then when we attempted to flush later it would not stop running (which was loud and kept us up all morning), until someone came to fix it, and then it wouldn’t flush still. The bathroom was disgusting and had mold in all the grout and shower. When we attempted to shower, the shower head wouldn’t work and water pooled in the bottom due to lack of drainage. We went 2 days without showering due to this. The bedding smelled musty and the towels they provided were hard and rough. When we returned in the afternoon on our 2nd day, they had hosed down the hallway & water got under the crack under the door, leaving a huge pool of standing water in our room. Lastly, no one is ever at the reception desk, making it near impossible to get help for anything. We waited in the lobby for over 20 min because we wanted waters from the cooler, and when someone finally showed up, they told us to just write what we take on a sticky note & leave it in the cubby (because no one is ever at the desk).After our first night, we were so grossed out that we scrambled to find another hotel last minute to spend the rest of our week in. To our dismay, we had to stay a 2nd night, & checked out first thing the next morning (Aug 17-Aug 22). Be aware to book elsewhere if you want comfortable, clean accommodations. This hotel needs to be updated on Booking.com.

Don’t Do It

I would not recommend this hotel. At check-in, I did not receive the room I had originally booked. I was told it was an “upgrade” because the room was larger, but it lacked the partial sea view I had reserved. When I asked to move to a different room, I was asked to pay €100 in cash, which felt unprofessional but I guess I understand since this room was listed as “suite with two beds”. The front desk was never staffed in the evenings or mornings before 10–11am, which was strange for a hotel. The biggest issue, however, was our last night when the electricity went out around midnight. We couldn’t charge devices and were working US hours, so we immediately contacted the hotel by mobile, WhatsApp, and the listed number. No one responded. After a couple of hours in the dark, we had no choice but to leave and book another hotel at additional cost. We had to pack in the dark using our phone lights, and some belongings were lost in the process.Even worse, the owner ignored all messages until I complained to Booking.com and then accused me of lying rather than taking responsibility.This was one of the most unprofessional and stressful hotel experiences I’ve ever had. Strongly advise future travelers to look elsewhere. I’m still waiting to hear back from Booking about this situation.

My family and I loved our stay at Naoussa Hotel. From the moment we arrived, we loved everything we saw. The views were beautiful, the rooms were clean and spacious with outdoor terraces. Everyone was so nice, helpful and with smiles on their faces each time. Alex saved us with transportation and taking us where we need to be and always picking us up. He was so friendly, and always pleasant conversations. The hotel is 10 minutes away by car/bike to Naoussa and maybe 20 min away to Parikia. The facilities were all clean, and the pool was also great. Delicious breakfast! Bus stop right across the street. We will continue to stay here each time we visit Paros. Thank you to everyone for making our stay so special.

Nothing we left

300 a night scam We arrived and the room was dirty and had cockroaches, broken bathroom window, smelled of sewage, no beach nearby not near town, area across busy street he said was a beach it was full of trash broken glass needles and gloves. Not walkable to town, very busy loud unsafe street, not walkable. When we voiced our concerns he argued with me. He said he would cancel reservation and not charge us. We left and found another hotel and hours later he charged us for 4 nights. I then texted him and told him that he said he would cancel reservation and he called the police on me, They called and threatened me that if I wrote a review I would have problems at customs. I as a woman with my 2 daughters did not feel safe here. He will not give me back my money for 4 nights that I never stayed in this hotel. . Booking needs to review this place as the pictures and service are not accurate. I am still fighting with my credit card to get my money back.. What a scam

Great pool, helpful staff, good breakfast. Very pleasant walk into Naoussa, especially if you go up over the hill and across the beach. Naoussa is a very picturesque fishing village, just so beautiful.

Not much of a beach across the road but a lovely one over the hill.

The hotel was beautiful, clean, and located in an excellent area. The staff were helpful, kind, and always ready to assist. A special thanks to the receptionist, ( Alexander the Great;) , who truly helped us with everything — he went above and beyond to make our stay smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Excellent place to stay if visiting with car, friendly and helpful staff, beautiful views from room with sea view!

Great stay, location was closed to naussa and the coast, lovely staff and very comfortable would recommend

Everything was great! We enjoyed the pool, the sea view, thanks to the excellent location we regularly visited the beaches (they’re literally nearby) as well as the AMAZING hospitality. It was truly our best stay in Greece!! The cleaning was perfect and the breakfast buffet was great too, also certified as “Greek Breakfast” so we had a chance to try many local things.

Very friendly staff, who were very helpful.

In order to enjoy this location, you really need to hire a car. This is daunting for travellers from the country that drive on the left had drive at home!

Theo was very nice & helpful. Buses stop right outside very good.

Distance from Port

Lovely and peaceful property. Its a great location close to busy towns, food and beaches. Staff was great very friendly and room was spacious and clean. Favorite part was having our own patio area with plants all around to enjoy in the evening or mornings. Didn’t try the pool but it was small and nice looking. Great to have parking for car and accessible for people with a bit of mobility issues.

I would say the shower …there was just no was to keep the water within the shower stall (there is another drain outside the stall) but with someone with mobility issues its difficult when outside the shower is always wet and therefore slippery. However cleaning staff always cleans it nicely when they come in to refreshen the room. Also to note … with in the room there was two floor levels with a step In-between and another step to get outside, doable with our mobility issue but something to note or arrange another room if you have more severe mobility issues. All in all would definitely stay here again.

Location, rooms, pool, cleanliness and, especially, the kindness of the owners Vangelis and Alex.

The bathroom could use some upgrade.

The rooms were huge and very comfortable lovely veranda area and lovely big pool

A bit noisy being on the road with traffic

Very helpful staff, wonderful pool, spacious rooms and beautiful views

Clean, comfortable roomy appartment.Great 12m pool.Very friendly and helpful staff.

Noise of the crossroads...but nothing they could do about that.

This property was lovely , do need to hire car to get around as not close to restaurants or shops Quiet and pool was beautiful Would definitely stay again

Great staff, friendly and helpful. Short walk to great beaches and restaurants. Quick bus from the port with a bus stop right outside.

Nothing. Was great for what we needed.

Clean and lovely staff very helpful lovely relaxing holiday in Naoussa Hotel

Great rooms and facilities, especially the swimming pool! Staff are excellent and really hospitable.

Slightly out from Naoussa town about a 15/20 minute walk but buses are available right outside the hotel and there is parking on the grounds if you rent a car.
