Rastoni Hotel Aegina

A family member was admitted to the hospital 4 days before our trip with a serious injury on the head, at the intensive care unit. Obviously the family could not do the trip and had to cancel our plans. We called the hotel to let them know and the lady at the reception was furious about cancelling the reservation although we told her that it is an emergency and that we also have evidence from the hospital. She kept shouting at us telling us that we are lying. We could not have a conversation with her and eventually we hang up the phone. This is unacceptable whatever the case; shouting at customers, telling them that they are lying where in fact we have a serious reason to cancel the trip. We did send her the hotel admission and surgery evidence over email to shut her up.

Hotel Rastoni is a true gem. The rooms were clean and spacious with a gorgeous sea view. The staff who work here are very friendly and cook an awesome home made breakfast. There is a nice garden with plenty of seating and that's where we enjoyed our breakfast and evening drinks (you have to buy your own drinks, the hotel does not have a bar). It is close to the many good restaurants, and is only a 5 min. walk to the dock. Highly recommended!!!

This hotel has charm. Good welcome. The staff is friendly. Very clean room with air conditioning. The buffet breakfast is very varied and plentiful. There is a small private parking lot. Possibility of having breakfast in the shaded garden. I recommend +++

A beautiful oasis a few short minutes walk from the part of Aegina. The property is beautiful and very comfortable with the most beautiful gardens to relax and enjoy. The breakfast is excellent with top quality foods and home baked savouries and cakes. The best however are the staff who do everything to ensure you have the most relaxing and enjoyable stay whilst in Aegina. Highly recommended!

Arrived at the Aegina early so decided to go to the Rastoni to see if they would keep our luggage even though we were too early to checkin. We were met by the owner who immediately offered us a welcome cup of coffee or orange juice, a place to store our luggage and place to relax in the garden or the lounge/ lobby before heading out to explore the island. Our room was on the top floor of the building with views over the pretty garden and out to the temple and the sea, and had a small veranda to sit out and enjoy the sunset. A small kitchenette and fridge allowed us to store food and make hot drinks. Room also had a single bed in the loft area. Breakfast- wow!! Was amazing and the best buffet we had while in Greece. Cold meats and cheese, creamiest yogurt, fruit, frittata, pastries and Greek orange cake- I must have forgotten something, the choice was huge. The garden is beautiful and a relaxing place to have breakfast- a great place to start the day. The hotel is ideally located a short walk from the town center and the port and is a peaceful retreat. Aegina is a short ride from Athens and so can be visited as a day trip but it is well worth spending a night to explore and enjoy at leisure. I recommend the Hotel Rastoni for anyone interested in more than a day trip to the island and a chance to relax. Thanks to the team for their welcome and congratulations on such a beautiful place.

Beautiful oasis of calm and green. Incredible garden to relax in. Fabulous huge room with stunning view from a large balcony over the temple of Apollo and the sea and mountains beyond. Fridge and kettle provided in room. Comfortable bed with lovely linen and towels. Great breakfast. What a find!!!
