Panselinos Hotel

The photos correspond to reality. Nice hotel away from the tourist trails right on the beach. Transfer to Molivos 4 times a day - 5 minutes to drive. If there are a lot of people, the minibus will make as many trips as necessary, but you will have to wait. I would like to note the helpfulness and diligence of the chauffeur (he is also the gardener) - a working man, in such a heat! Thank you for your service. Very nice greeting on arrival at the hotel. Alexandra was top notch - thank you for your attention to my wishes and such a luxurious welcome! You did an excellent job. Everything in the appartement is very simple but clean and pleasant. Wet cleaning was done every day. Thank you to the caring woman who cleaned apartment 279 from 8-16 June! You are very positive and do your job well. My best wishes to you. Kitchen utensils are minimal, but I asked for a kettle and a frying pan at reception and they gave me it. Generally, all the staff are very good at communicating, positive and knowledgeable. Thank you very much, guys! Buy greens and vegetables from the greengrocer in a makeshift stall right behind the hotel on the road (to the right of the hotel) - everything grows here, behind the fence. Very tasty. Cheap. Excellent clean big pool with sea water, beautiful territory around, but when I went to the pool there were no free sunbeds. Good that I did not need: I went to the sea. There is a minimarket, but in terms of food on it do not count on it. You can buy drinks, milk, ice cream, bread, bathing and sanitary accessories. All at a minimum. The tap water is ok for drinking, no flavour. Beautiful sunsets right from your poolside sun lounger. At the hotel the descent to the sea is steep, but 100 meters away you can go in. It's shallow and the water is very clear. I recommend to take bathing slippers - the pebbles are large. Molivos is beautiful and authentic. Immediately buy dry food for cats - there are a lot of them everywhere, they are part of the urban environment. You must go to the castle to watch the sunset. Do not go there in the daytime - it's hot, it's hard. There is 2 restaurants on the top, but you can just se sunset from the bench. There are no supermarkets, there are small 3-4 shops. Prices everywhere are nearly the same, high for Greeks. There is a pharmacy on the pedestrian walkway, prices are touristy. The best supermarket in terms of assortment is the one next to the pharmacy. And TK's supermarket - less goods there, but very sociable and pleasant owner Dimitros. He will cheer you up, tell you stories, give you tips. He feeds the cats that come in (nice man!) and you can buy cat food from him on clearance.

A tad late with this review, sorry. We decided to sneak an extra week away after being home from our annual visit to Molyvos and thought “why not?’ Soma last minute booking we got the last 2 seats on the plane. Me half way down and the better half at the front! It was interesting to go at a different time than normal and put faces to many names of folk who comment on the Facebook groups. Last drop off by the coach but we were met and shown to our room by a very professional and polite young lady (alas, I can’t recall her name) a quick unpack and straight to the bar where the staff greeted us like old friends. Lovely. Talking of old friends it was hilarious to see people who assumed we’d left not to return until 2024! The pool is massive and we always got sun beds. Breakfast was worth getting up for. A minibus ran to the village each night - once as we were the only passengers the driver went and got his own car “faster and easier” Our room was great. Plenty of space and was cleaned every day. A few times we got back late to the hotel to find the bar still open…win, win! We’d highly recommend the Panselinos and wouldn’t hesitate in going back.

The bar and pool are lovely. Had our dinner here once food was great. Our room was 539 one of the appertments right at the back. Sadly the cleaning let it down . Cleaning was missed once. Towels were changed every 2 sometimes 3 days. Bedding was not changed at all. When I asked at reception for towel's I was told there were none. Ants in the room. The rooms are dated. But for me the cleaning let it down
