Pension Filyra — Hotel in Municipality of Nafplio

We enjoyed our three-night stay at the Pension Filyra and are happy to say we have found a pension we will return to on our next trip to Nafplio. We had excellent communication with the pension before we arrived via emails from the booking service, so we knew they were looking for an arrival time. We were told they would be at the pension during our arrival so we would not have to phone as we approached the city. We parked our car at the free parking at the harbor, and for those who do not know, Do Not Drive into Old Town. Ideally, you pack one bag for your stay so you aren't hauling a lot of luggage. Once you park, it's an easy walk up the street to the pension, which is situated on a quiet, narrow sidewalk but close to all the action in Old Town and near excellent restaurants. There is no lobby, but instead a small reception where you can check in. Our hostess was waiting outside and greeted us in a friendly way. We encountered her daily and she was always friendly and helpful. From this small area, it's several steps straight up to the first floor where there are several rooms in a small hall. This is where bringing a small number of bags is essential because there is no elevator. Our room was #3 and it looked just like the picture with hardwood floors, refreshing paint of a pretty shade of green, curtains, and wooden shutters. The bed was comfortable, and a wardrobe was provided for clothing. We also had a small table, two chairs, mini fridge with provided water and two juice boxes (which were not replenished but the water was), electric kettle, tea and Nescafe tubes. The bathroom was modestly sized with good pressure in the shower and good water temperature. The area was quiet at night, although light will enter the room because the shutters are slatted and not solid and the curtains are sheers, so bring a sleeping mask if this is an issue. If you are arriving by bus, the bus station is close by. This is a nice, quiet part of Old Town, and we are definitely planning to return to...

Room 5 is on the ground floor and it’s so cozy and well organised. We were the first visitors for the season and there was no mold or some unpleasant aroma (as usual rooms have after the winter). There is no direct sun light, as it close to the opposite building and it’s perfect for hot summer days. Bathroom is clean, spacious and hot water is really hot. There is extra big warm blanket - you need it in the beginning of April 🙃

It’s located in the heart of the old town but a bit aside from pedestrian flow and hustle. After midnight is so quiet. Bus station is close (5 min walk). The host provides free mineral water during all the days. Prise is really great for that value and we would...

Starting with the positive I will say the location is fantastic; easy access to all of the walking destinations of Old Town as well as bus routes. The WiFi is very reliable. The people running the pension are very nice and friendly. The water is hot. The AC is cold. There is a convenient mini fridge in the room. And that is the end of the positive. The room and bath area were both very dirty requiring shower shoes. The bed is awful; you can feel the springs poking up beneath you and there is a ditch in the middle. So the two main things I was looking for in accommodation, sleep and shower, were both highly unsatisfactory. I do not recommend unless you don’t mind...
