Hotel with functional rooms with sea view and bungalows in the garden
This former sponge factory was converted into a hotel with about thirty rooms in 1959. Today, the establishment has 28 rooms with sea views and bungalows in its large tree-lined garden. Over the years, the owners have renovated it and today it is a pleasant establishment on the waterfront. The period photos are touching and we like the modern and airy atmosphere of the restaurant on the ground floor. The rooms are simple and functional but clean, and the lush garden at the back is appreciated.

Nestled within the walls of a historic 19th-century sponge factory, the hotel's essence is beautifully captured through an array of captivating pictures and displays gracing its reception and lobby. These glimpses into the building's rich history, the lives of its inhabitants, and the essence of Aegina town painted an enchanting backdrop for our stay. This was precisely what we had hoped for, a journey back in time that added a dash of romance to our adventure. Witnessing the preservation of such cherished heritage is nothing short of an honor.
While the facilities aren't opulent, they exude a certain functional elegance that is in perfect harmony with the place. The cozy bedding, fresh towels, invigorating shower, charming toiletries, and other amenities, like the quaint mini-fridge and efficient air-conditioning, spoke volumes of the hotel's authentic charm. The tasteful decor, along with the convenient on-site restaurant and thoughtful touches like fresh flowers and bottled water, created an ambiance that felt more like stepping into a cherished home than a hotel.
The meticulously cleaned rooms reflected the care and dedication of the housekeeping staff, whose smiles and gestures transcended language barriers, communicating warmth and gratitude with ease.
The highlight of our sunny days was the lush garden at the rear of the hotel. It offered us a peaceful sanctuary where we could escape the sun's rays. The enchanting trees, accompanied by the friendly presence of Noah, the family dog, provided a cool and inviting atmosphere for our afternoon reading sessions. To our delight, the garden also played host to a captivating display of local artists' works available for purchase. Needless to say, I found myself more engrossed in the art than my books.
Adding a delightful human touch to our stay was Mr. Brown and his exceptional front-of-house team. With a level of politeness and willingness to help that surpassed our expectations, they went above and beyond to assist us. From securing tickets for the local music festival to arranging our ferry tickets back to Piraeus, their impeccable service and kind demeanor transformed our stay into a heartwarming visit with dear friends.
Of course, even the most wonderful experiences can have a small hiccup. In our case, it was the brief encounter with our fellow guests who shared a wall with us for just one night. Their spirited arguments and loud conversations were a minor blemish on an otherwise flawless experience.
Το μεγαλύτερο κακό ήταν οι λεπτοί τοίχοι/παράθυρα/πόρτα που δεν άφηναν ήχο για ήχο χωρίς να τον ακούσουμε, και φυσικά... το κλιματιστικό που δε δούλευε.
Ειδικά το καλοκαίρι δεν γίνεται να ξεκινάει η σεζόν χωρίς να γίνεται σέρβις σε αυτά τα απαρχαιωμένα κλιματιστικά που δεν έβγαζαν ούτε ίχνος δροσιάς!!
Βογκαγε όλο το βράδυ και το άκουγες ότι είχε μπουκωσει από την υγρασία και το φίλτρο ήταν γεμάτο. Ευτυχώς μείναμε μόνο για ένα βράδυ. Δεν αντεχοταν η ζέστη!
The location of it is great, but everything else is mediocre.
No elevator.
No wheelchair accessible.
Tip: If you need a double bed, ask for it beforehand.
