We spent 5 nights as a couple last November in Edessa and we preferred Hotel Alfa. We saw many reviews on Tripadvisor and other sites, as it was the first time in Edessa and we really wanted to get the best idea about the place we were going. We know the city has the best view, but as the urban people that we are, we want city centers. And this is what happened! Although we had booked a room looking at the back road of the hotel, the reception of the hotel was as kind enough as to offer us a free upgrade to the front central road, right at the city center and the big statue, on the 6th floor!!!!

There were tiny moths all over.||||The balcony view was lovely and the sun coming in was gorgeous. ||||I’ve had worse but I would have been less salty if they hadn’t...
Read moreAlfa Hotel in Edessa is a nice hotel, convenient situated in the center of the town. We booked in the last moment, but yet we were able to find a junior suite, very suitable for our needs. ||The hotel has new furniture and new appearance in the rooms and bathrooms. There are all needed amenities and all electronic appliances and other interior installation are in a proper condition and functional. ||The breakfast is very basic, at least in accordance with my expectations but, nevertheless, you don’t leave the place hungry. ||I would like to have a special mention to the very good quality of the staff.
