Hotel Argo

This is a hotel where you get what you pay for. It is in a superb location, 1000m from the town and the port where you can take the ferry from. The not so good: We arrived late at night and were met with quite a rude older woman sitting at reception, my friend spoke in Greek to her but she chose to ignore. She asked us to be quiet as it was late. She handed us our key and gave no information whatsoever. We found out at check out that we still had to pay which was unexpected as it was not mentioned before. The main light in our room didn’t work and the shower door was broke and so the water leaked out every time. The main entrance to the hotel was locked between 9pm-9am and it’s a very difficult lock to open. Each night we spent at least 5 minutes trying to get back into the hotel. The Good: the balcony view is to die for and we got a beautiful sea breeze every morning. The younger woman who worked in reception was so helpful and gave me advice on other Greek islands to visit. Overall I would recommend for location but the hotel itself badly needs renovating !

Overall, very poor experience. I chose this place because it was relatively close to the port and a fair price, but I highly regret it. Immediately after entering the room I felt like I needed to check for bed bugs because of the lack of cleanliness and the smell throughout the building. I stayed with my girlfriend and we weren’t happy to see we were given 2 single beds pushed together as they were separated significantly by the bed frames. Not to mention the beds were extremely cheap, stiff mattresses sitting on unsecured planks of wood for support. The bathroom was quite nasty and the shower head was broken, making me question to maintenance in this hotel. They said we can drink the tap water, but I definitely avoided it because of this. I honestly wish I would’ve stayed at Paros Backpackers, I heard MUCH better things. This was not worth the money, regardless of how cheap.

Really disappointing hotel. Rooms are small and dirty, rooms and halls smell foul, rooms are NOT soundproof and you can hear everyone in their rooms, shower completely broken and wouldn’t stay on wall causing a flood in the bathroom, and overall just not a desirable place to be. Would not recommend to anyone, if you’re on a budget I’d honestly just opt for a hostel because this place is gross.
