Hotel Isadora is a tastefully decorated and designed 'bijou' hotel, with attractive rooms, a charming breakfast room and a pretty reception area. For those who are unfamiliar with Aghia Marina it is, for me, in the perfect location - less than 100 metres from both the beach and from Crystal pool bar. ||Guests at Isadora use Crystal (a really excellent bar/snack/pool area) free - and the facilities there are very good indeed for families. Isadora is situated on the main street in Aghia Marina, with all restaurants, bars, shops etc within easy walking distance on level ground. There is a small enclosed garden with a bit of play equipment for children, and a few outside tables to sit and catch the breeze. The bus stop to and from Aegina town is almost outside, and the small port for direct ferries from Pireaus is a 10 minute level walk away. Isadora also includes breakfast, which is good, fresh and varied enough to suit most tastes. The staff team are universally lovely, and the housekeeping is daily, with frequent changes of sheets and towels. The family rooms are separate from the main building and are spacious with basic amenities (cooker, fridge freezer and a bit of equipment) and a patio, but have no view. The aircon is free and efficient. We really enjoyed our stay at Isadora, and found it exceptional...
Read moreWhen looking for a hotel online you can never quite tell how good it is going to be but I guarantee you this place has everything you need. Located nicely in the centre of thriving touristy life in Ayia Marina, this hotel offers a full breakfast buffet including home-made cakes (made by either Isidora or her mother :)), different varieties of eggs, bread, vegetables, feta, olives, fruit, coffee, cereals and yogurt and many more delicious delicacies for every taste. Room service is also included, which guarantees that your room is never dirty! You can also use the nearby Crystal Pool bar at no extra cost, when you feel like the weather is way too hot. Air conditioning and TVs can also be found in the rooms and many also have a balcony inviting guests to pleasant views of either the rugged mountains or the sapphire - blue sea. The owner Isidora was really friendly to all the guests and seems to speak almost every language imaginable. She also recommended us different places to see and what to do on Aegina, Moni and Agistri. After 11 days I really didn't want to go home because we all really felt quite at home already. Really really really recommend it highly to anyone wanting a pleasant and affordable stay with many extras making your holiday a...
Read moreSpent a couple of nights here as part of an island hopping holiday. Arrived by ferry expecting to catch the bus across the island to Agia Marina ... only to find they'd cancelled it and the last bus that week had been at 2:30pm. No option but to get a taxi ... cost €15(or €17, can't recall now). Think we could have arranged pick up by hotel if we'd known.|Hotel is situated on the main road at the end of the resort. The bus stops either way are just a few yards away (to the right from hotel); there are shops/bars/eateries all around; the beach road is a few yards away (to the right). The walk down to the little port isn't far. |Our room was comfortable and colourful. It's not ultra modern but there was everything you'd need. The bathroom was small but with a decent shower and plenty of hot water with good water pressure. The bed was cosy - we slept really well. We had a window and a door leading to a balcony with a village view. It was quite peaceful. Isidora came up with a tray laden with juice and biscuits to welcome us. Very kind. |Breakfast was included in our room rate and was really good with a lot of choice. The dining room was nice and bright. |We'd be very happy to stay here again if we visited Agia Marina...
