John's Hotel — Hotel in Municipality of Chalkida

The location of John's Hotel within a moment's walk of the pedestrianised esplanade along the Euripus Strait makes this a perfect location during a break in Chalkida (pronounced Halkida). The esplanade has a plethora of eateries catering for tourists, ranging from well priced to finer dinning. Cheaper options can be found a few minutes walk into the less touristy areas of the town.||||The hotel itself has a luxurious feel to it with a breakfast area for residents and an outdoor courtyard area, the secret garden, which serves drinks. There is a second bar area inside the hotel. ||||A laundry service is available at request and the friendly staff all communicate well in English.||||The train station is on the mainland, within a two minute walk from the hotel and the line services Athens ( less than 11 euros return) and Thessaloniki .||||The nearby old sliding bridge, that spans the water from the mainland to the island, is closed to both motor traffic and pedestrians once per day, in the late evening.

I am from the UK. Having spent the first half of my trip in Athens and staying at a 5 star hotel over there. I can honestly say that I wish I had spent most my time at Chalkida and at John's Hotel, the hotel was far superior then this big named hotel I stayed at. (Wont say there name) The service from all staff was amazing. There was a young girl at the bar during the day, that was fantastic, good memory for how my wife liked her coffee and was super friendly.

The location was ideal, next to the waterfront and a stones throw away from the restaurants and bars. If you are visiting Athens book some time at John's and the waterfront, there is a Gelato place next door with amazing freshly made ice cream and a bakery a little further down, with the best Baclava I have ever eaten. Staying here was the best part of my holiday. I had booked a suite at John's hotel and from the balcony had a nice view of...
