Acronafplia Pension A

Generally overrated on booking platforms, I do not recommend it at all, especially for those with walking difficulties or motor disabilities. Very low and unsatisfactory price-quality ratio. Rude and unwelcoming owner, very prone to personal insults, which he uses as his only argument. Absence of a "real" check-in and no document verification. The hotel is definitely overrated. Reaching it was anything but simple. After the GPS had led us to the indicated address and after a first small sign at the beginning of the climb, we found ourselves in the Acronafplia and it took us 10-15 minutes, driving up and down, to locate another small sign on an exclusively pedestrian street. The website does not indicate at all that accessing the property requires walking about 100 meters on an internal street, with partially uneven pavement and stairs lacking accessibility features: a route therefore unsuitable for those with walking difficulties or motor disabilities. In the immediate vicinity, a large, dilapidated, and abandoned building also stands out, which initially, not being able to find the hotel, had even made us fear that we had been victims of a scam. The property is also located in a narrow and poorly maintained alley. Upon arrival, I pointed out to the owner the difficulties encountered and the lack of information regarding pedestrian access. He replied in a rude and almost crude manner, claiming in rather precarious English that there were three signs and asking what more I could have wanted; too bad that even the others were small and barely visible. I preferred not to continue the discussion because it was clear that the owner argued preferably and solely through personal insults. Without performing any real check-in or asking for documents, he accompanied us to the room. The room is quite spacious and well-maintained, but it has an evident smell of humidity. The bathroom is tiny: the doors of the small shower do not open completely because one hits the small sink and the other hits the toilet, making access difficult for a potentially large person. Breakfast, served only from 8:30 AM, is in my opinion definitely late and offers no choice: mostly savory dishes are offered, of decent quality, but decided by the property.

Didn’t actually stay here…paid €320 but couldn’t stay..had to go up and down 150 very steep uneven stairs to get to old town.. feel booking.com should have highlighted this..all the reviews we read said great location with no mention of stairs..also very difficult to find..up very steep hill very near castle..absolutely no response from booking.com…a very expensive lesson

Excellent location above the city. View over Argolic Gulf. Very friendly staff. Very good breakfast. You just have to be able to climb a lot of stairs. Also down the back to the wonderful bathing spot. And from the car it is about 200 meters.
