We came to the Kastro at short notice as we weren’t happy in our resort hotel and I’m so pleased we did. We had a good sized room with a huge bed, fridge, balcony and adequate wardrobe and counter top space. We had a look at the roof top terrace and thought it would be a lovely space to relax, but we just didn’t get the time during our short stay. The staff recommended some restaurants very close to the hotel and both were excellent with delicious food and great atmosphere. ||The breakfast was excellent too, there was everything I could think of: proper fresh orange juice, cereal, fruit, yoghurt, pastries, toast, bread rolls, sliced ham and cheese, local cheese, sausage/bacon/eggs, tea/coffee. All fresh and great quality. ||The hotel is close to the Historical Museum, the Natural History museum and the fortress. About 10 min walk to the Archaeological museum.

As someone who doesn't usually eat breakfast or rave about food, I haven't seen such variety of options at any hotel I have visited in other Greek islands, so I felt compelled to comment on it. I have no negatives to point out, so all in all, I had a lovely stay, and I would definitely recommend the hotel to anyone visiting...
