Messini Pension — Hotel in Municipality of Nafplio

The Good:||It’s a recently renovated hotel in the old city center. It’s clean (even though there was a constant smell. Probably it was from the cleanser...). The breakfast was decent with fresh orange juice. The staff was polite. Also, there is an elevator (something rare in the old city). However, the entrance for people with special needs are not that easy, as the central door is small. The A/C was working without any noticeable noise. The mattress is really comfy.||The Bad:||The hotel is in a busy road with a lot of noise and the room isn't quite at all.

The bathroom was really small. Also they charge extra the espresso coffee (the filter coffee was for free)... it’s not “fair” for money that the room costs.

My partner and I stayed here for a couple of nights while touring the Peloponnese. The accommodation was easy to find and free parking was available just a few minutes walk away at the port. The building itself was gorgeous and the room and small balcony were very nice, though the bathroom is quite compact. The breakfast was very good - you could select from a range of items, and take a tray to eat outside while watching the comings and goings of the town. There are lovely shops in the area and plenty of restaurants at which to eat - the area is touristy, so be aware that service is more impersonal and the quality of food at some establishments is not so good. As the pension is on the main street, it can remain noisy into the early hours of the morning, but that's the downside to staying in a popular city. The staff at Messini were great and made us...
