Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Irida Hotel offers guests clean and comfortable rooms, with some enjoying sea views from their balconies. Many appreciate the convenient location, finding it's an easy walk to both a nearby small beach and, in about 10-15 minutes, to the city center and historical center along the sea. Breakfast is generally considered lovely, though a few guests have noted the limited variety. Guests can also easily find parking and a nearby market, adding to the convenience.

excellent stay near the harbour

helpful staffvaried breakfastquiet roomeasy parking
I found the staff to be helpful. They arranged a taxi from the airport. the breakfast was plentiful and varied enough that i did not tire of it . my room faced the back, so the noise from the main road was not a concern. i also easily found parking places around the hotel each evening.
The lack of a pool was a slight disappointment. I would have appreciated an outdoor space to relax.

The reception staff offered beach towels and an umbrella for guest use. This thoughtful service enhanced my visit to the nearby beach. the staff ensured a smooth experience from airport pickup to daily assistance. i found them attentive.

The hotel is ideally situated for walking around the port and harbors. This made evening strolls very convenient. i was close to the town center and port, so i could walk every evening. markets are also located close to the hotel.

a wonderful STAY near the sea

helpful staffsmooth transportgreat room
I found the staff very helpful. They gave us beach equipment. The room service worked flawlessly. The hotel organized transport to the airport at 4 a.m. I also observed the room was the best from my Greek trip even though it costed half of other bookings.
the situation on a very busy street IS the biggest disadvantage.

the hotel sits in a great area near the sea. Tavernas and bars are just a short walk away. I saw the old town of the city is within a reasonable walking distance from the premises, about 20 minutes away.

The location is on a busy street. Rooms with sea view balconies suffer most. the traffic continues throughout the day from early hours. it's impossible to sleep with the window open.
