Pnoi Hotel — Hotel in Paros Municipality

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at this hotel in Paros was so profoundly disappointing that I feel compelled to warn future guests. I originally attempted to leave this review on Booking.com, but it appears the owners have disabled or blocked the ability for guests to post reviews there — which is deeply concerning and speaks volumes.

To begin with, the photos online were wildly misleading. What we arrived to was not even remotely close to a four-star hotel. The rooms looked like they hadn’t been updated since the 1950s — with old furniture, an archaic air conditioner that barely functioned, and a pervasive smell of mold and sewage that made it hard to sleep comfortably. The beds were also old, extremely uncomfortable, and very small — both in width and length (not standard single bed size) — making it impossible to rest properly.

The “balcony” was another letdown — too small to sit on, with the air conditioning unit occupying most of the floor space and blasting hot air, making it completely unusable. The promised “sea view” simply did not exist.

The breakfast was arguably the most shocking part. It consisted of the same recycled food every day, left out in the 35–40°C heat. Juices/water were warm, and the yogurt and fruit were also hot and stale. Nothing felt fresh, and hygiene was clearly not a priority.

The housekeeping experience was equally unpleasant — the maid was consistently rude and dismissive. Despite being marketed as a beach hotel, no beach towels were provided — something you’d expect at even a basic resort, let alone a supposed four-star one.

Finally, the Wi-Fi simply never worked — not once during our entire stay.

I’ve visited Paros many times and have always encountered warm hospitality and beautiful accommodations. This hotel was a complete outlier — uncomfortable, falsely advertised, and entirely disappointing. I would strongly urge future guests to...

Nice hotel. Great staff and service. Nice little beach town. ||The hotel is very nicely done and the rooms are well designed and finished. |The pool is nice and has a safe shallow pool for the children. ||The waiters are very attentive, polite and friendly. The breakfast was good and dinner was decent quality. ||Management went out of their way to meet our needs. We were very happy. ||There is a bit of a walk (350 paces) down to the beach and other bars and restaurants but it was all fine. Those restaurants were more economic than the hotel food and there was a good selection of fish restaurants and general European/Mediterranean cuisine. ||The beach is half natural and half ‘managed’ (ie has sunbeds and umbrellas at the ‘restaurant end’ - note that they cost about €50 per day !!! - a bit of a shock to me!).|The other end has some trees that give good shade - we liked that end. Paris is really windy which we found was great for sunbathing because it kept you nice and cool. ||Snorkelling around the rocks at that end was good - plenty of fish. ||There was a great coffee shop at the opposite end, just up onto the road that goes to the port. ||A 10 minute walk from the beach to the port is well worth it. There are a lot of nice restaurants right next to the water. ||The Captain Yannis boat tour was good (make sure you are at the quayside BEFORE 0945 - they leave...
