Hotel Liberty 1 — Hotel in Municipality of Aegina

For about 15 euro each per night, we had a clean, quiet double room, plus breakfast (continental- good coffee...) and 30 seconds walk from a gorgeous beach and very nice bars/tavernas. A really lovely resort, mainly populated by Greek people, friendly and polite. Really relaxing break, wish we could have stayed longer - excellent value for money in terms of eating out/drinks/souvenirs. Examples: beer = 3.50, (Kahlua for good music or Obsession for fab cocktails and chat...) ...great gyros (Pita Tom!) for £2.50 ... or posh dinner on the beach -literally (Paradise - 2 courses + wine for around 20 euro..) I didn't want to go home. ||Balcony had a good view of the sea, although the awning didn't go up, but again the beach is across the street. Full credit to the girl on reception - she was lovely. OK it's not a 5* hotel (at 5 or 10 times the price!) but there is much to commend here - clean, friendly and safe, right beside a stunning beach and a 1 hr boat to Athens. Hope to return soon and stay a little longer next time to see the monastery and ruins etc. :o) Dining tips: oasis, Theodore's, Paradise (try the fish daily special) and the blue and white taverna opposite this hotel on left, offering tables on the rocks - try the moussaka... and Pita Tom ('the strip') for gyros- only minor negative was 'drunken shrimp' which overcharged us by about 6 euro for 2 items never received and then argued/denied (this can happen anywhere I guess) ....otherwise a brilliant few...

Having stayed there in 2012 and was absolutely delighted with the hotel and Costas and Anastasia, I have to advise that they are no longer there unfortunately ! As they had only leased the hotel from the owners.||I spoke with the current management of the hotel earlier this year and they told me that the rooms had been refurbished but not the bathrooms ||It is interesting to note that all the reviews up to 2012 give glowing reports of the then management and the superb buffet breakfast etc but since the beginning of this year things seem to have deteriorated particularly with the breakfast ! ||||However it is a great value hotel with its superb location and great views ...we stayed in room 15 on the top floor which is on a corner and has the advantage of two balconies !||||It is important to remember it is a budget hotel and represents great value ! In a superb location with stunning views .....So what if the breakfast is not as good as it used to be..that is not important but what is is the overall picture....there are always people who will look for problems ie mosquitoes ! Personally I really cannot be bothered to actually count them ! They exist everywhere ,so live with it !||Would I stay there again ? Definately ! Costas and Anastasia are no longer there but that does not make it a bad place to stay ! Go for it ! I don't think that you will regret it as it has so much going for it !...

I have been for many years on this hotel when costas and anastasia were hosts. Then it was fantastic! The service great and very nice people. Now its changed. The owners of the hotel is also in charge on a daily basis. The service is not so good. The rooms are more dirty and they do not change towels regularly. The breakfast is not as good as before. Overall the service and the hygienic conditions has gone down. I really hope they will change this! The location is fantastic so the hotel has great potential! But the place agia maria has lost much of its tourists due to the lack of airport. so much of the people coming here are greeks on weekends and occasional||tourists from scandinavia/europe. The greeks have difficult times so the place are a bit ghost town.||But the place has its potential many nice tavernas on the beach and pita tom. The beach is great, the island is beautiful with...
