Princess of Naxos

Very cute well maintained hotel, rooms are nice and very clean. Probably the most comfortable beds I slept in the 2 weeks in Greece. A very quick walk to town along a path that is lit up at night and a store with everything you need in a short 15 walk. The breakfast was a great way to start the day, didn’t get to use the pool as it was still to cold out, beach is right across the street. Highly recommend the bus tour around the island, the drivers are impressive how they handle the very narrow winding roads.Staff were amazing and very friendly.

The room's size was okay for three persons however, the cleanliness of the room and bathroom left to be desired. The floor mouldings were very dirty, and the patio door curtains. As for the washroom and shower, we had to do some cleaning ourselves. The shower tile grout was partly dirty and behind the toilet paper holder had leftover excrements on the wall's tiles. The room was for three persons but when we arrived, only two towel sets were left in the room. We had to renew our request for an extra set of towels for the entire length of our stay (four days) and our requests seemed to bother the service people. As for the breakfast, it was okay.

Lovely bedroom and bathroom. Pool along side main road Staff were not available to assist when required and felt like an inconvenience when you requested a towel, or taxi or had a room problem. A long walk from main town at night, and along the beach path which is tricky lighting and footwear. When had a key card issue at night - staff were not on site to sort, long wait time to fix problem, locked outside for over half hour and staff then not apologetic.

After waiting at reception approximately 10 minutes, we were finally checked in and shown to our room. Initial feelings of misgivings (the room was down half a dozen steps and semi basement - a superior double - hmmmm) soon disppeared as the room was incredibly spacious and nice and cool. Vangelis was lovely and explained lots about the immediate area and the island in general. The room had a lovely shaded terrace (although shared with the room next door - but the guests here didnt use it at all). The hotel was full on our arrival of a large group of relatively loud American and Canadian guests all on a group tour who obviously knew each other. They had drank all the gin (apart from Gordons - euch!). Daily maid service was fine but a total debacle over laundry let the property down. Laundry is sent out and the company were late so we had to call the hotel manager to get involved. Laundry was eventually delivered just before midnight - not really acceptable when same day or overnight service is promised. We appreciate though that this service is a third party who let the hotel down. Breakfast is served by the pool which offers lovely sea views although the road immediately in front of the property can sometimes be busy. The aforementioned large group were all at breakfast at the same time one morning as they were off out on an excursion which did lead to a slight shortage of tables. The hotel is an easy walk to a short sandy track which leads to a wooden boardwalk at the back of the beach running almost all the way into Naxos Town (via several eateries and beach bars) -around a 20-25 minute flat walk. Bus stops are right outside the hotel for Naxos Town one way and Agios Prokopios and the island airport the other way. Don't be put off by the proximity to the airport - its very small and propellor planes only around 8 times per day. Bizarrely though there is a garage area underneath the pool which can give some noise when mechanics are working. Bar wasnt fully staffed but there is a phone on the bar to request service - although we visited towards the end of the season this may be different during high season. The fridge in our wardrobe had obviously leaked previously so some wood had warped - not a big job to replace. From our experience this property with a little work, a little more care and love and a bit more attention to detail could bee very easily brought up to a 4* standard and we would recommend this hotel

The hotel is located on a road from airport and pretty close to the town which is ideal if you have a car. The hotel is somewhat dated but acceptable. Good swimming pool. The nearby beach is subpar (we drove to Ag. Anna where the beaches are terrific). Breakfast was mediocre, the best part was fruits and veggies. The worst thing was smell of sewage at night originating from the shower. It was tolerable bat unpleasant. We had to keep the door open all night to mitigate it.
