Poseidonion Grand Hotel

It's more the four stars than a five stars. The rooms are quite old the breakfast is a small buffet. Besides the location the value for money is not that good

Unfortunately beware of the outside noise This was a quite an enjoyable experience on various standpoints with the exception of one major issue. Our room was overlooking the sea which is a nice asset of course.r The counterpart, we discovered the first night (Sunday June 2nd) was there was a lot of noise outside, mainly from motorcycles riding in front of the hotel. For one of them, it seemed it was specifically done on purpose. It lasted over one hour between 1.30 and 2.30 am. A night Surveillance shift at the hotel should have been able to stop this disturbance and I informed the front desk, the next morning. . The following night was also noisy and very annoying mostly from motorcycles. Bottom line is you pay more for the sea view but you get far less sleep, which for a 5-star hotel is quite odd. Something should be done about this major problem. Everything else was just fine, meeting expectations. However, we will not be back until this problem is solved.

This is a special place. A grand old lady, suitably and tastefully bought up to date with much love and - I suspect - no little investment! It is deservedly the centrepiece of beautiful Spetses. Like all grand dames, she betrays here age now and then. The air conditioning can be less than frosty for example, but let’s just call that character. It doesn’t detract from the innate style and taste of this space. Filled with ever changing original art and grand spaces. Our favourite was the balcony for breakfast and later for cocktails before hitting the restaurants. The staff are uniformly helpful and professional. Most of all the inimitable Zoe who, from the concierge desk, directed us to all the best places and experiences on the island. She is already famous from these reviews and she certainly didn’t disappoint. Our great experience was due, to a large extent , her guidance. We had one of the cheaper rooms facing the pool which was entirely adequate. The pool side was lovely and quiet and a good spot to spend time with the various cats, if you enjoy that sort of thing. We were interested in visiting Spetses and enjoying the best the island had to offer. We chose this hotel for that reason. It was a great choice.
