Apollon Boutique Hotel — Hotel in Paros Municipality

The Apollon Boutique Hotel is about a 10 minute walk from the center of town and a block away from the beach. It says it's ecological and focused on elegant hospitality. Unfortunately, at check-in, hospitality was clearly absent. When you open the door, there are immediately three steps. I was struggling to hold open the door, pull in my suitcase and get put of my friend's way. The woman who was working reception, Connie, watched us struggle, never offering to hold the door or even say good morning. When we got to reception she moved behind the desk and basically barked at me to scan the qr code to check in. Being that I don't purchase international data, I told her I couldn't so she sighed and made me sign into the wifi. Payment for taxes (etc) were due at check-in, which is unusual to me, because I've always been charged at check out. There is no elevator and no one will help you with your bags, even if you ask for assistance. The room is small, but had a lovely balcony with two chairs and a table. The pillows are extremely soft and they do not use fitted sheets on their mattresses. The shower was more concerning. It had both a sprayer and a rainfall showerhead. The sprayer clearly had mold on it and the shower head only half worked indicating it hasn't been properly cleaned and has buildup clogging the water holes. Overall, while it wasn't the worst hotel I've stayed in and I did like the balcony and location, I think you can find better hotels for an...

This is a modern hotel only a short walk down a side street from Livadia beach on the edge of Parakia, the capital of Paros. This is an ideal location as the ferry port and the centre of Parakia are less than a ten minute walk away. While the hotel does not have a pool, it does have a beautifully cool garden shaded by bougainvillea. There is no lift in the hotel, but our room was on the first floor and so didn’t present too much of a problem. We had a small balcony overlooking the road. Although this was a side road, it seemed to be some kind of “rat run” and as a result it was very busy and noisy. It must also be said that storage space was at a premium in the room and the en-suite shower room.||An ample buffet breakfast was served inside and outside in the garden. The buffet consisted of a wide range of hot and cold foods. Snacks and drinks could also be ordered to be had in the garden at other times of the day but there was no restaurant, but this was not a problem as there were many restaurants and cafes along the sea-front close to the hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were provided with a local map and recommended restaurants were marked on...
