Hotel Antique

We booked this hotel based upon Tripadvisor reviews and were not disappointed. If you are coming by car your arrival can be a bit fraught as there is nowhere to pull in. You will find yourself in a one-way street, and (usually) patient fellow drivers soon queue up behind you while you frantically try to unload your luggage! However, the hotel staff are used to this situation and rapidly step in to assist. Indeed, within minutes you and your vehicle are whisked off to a nearby car park where it can rest for the remainder of your stay, and you can let your blood pressure abate! The house is an immaculately restored C19 building with plenty of wood and ironwork all set against soft blue pastel shades, and furnished in period style. We were fortunate enough to have booked the One-Bedroom Suite with Sofa Bed which is a splendid room complete good bathroom, small lounge with sofa together with the added benefit of a balcony overlooking the inner courtyard. In good weather breakfast is taken in the sunlit courtyard, which is lovely, otherwise in the small comfortable lounge. Breakfast includes a range of unique Greek fare, including the ubiquitous filo pastry pies (which I love), but unfortunately (as with so many hotels) the undertray heaters are never sufficient to keep the food piping hot. Mind you, their hot chocolate is to die for! Spiros and his team make the place tick. They are efficient, courteous and very helpful with making excursion tips, restaurant reservations etc. All the practical aspects of a enjoyable stay are also present as well – car parking, lift, laundry, extra pillows, reliable reception staff – things that, if they are not present, you don’t half notice! Thoroughly recommended

Unique hotel and location. One of the best I have ever stayed . We were there with a group of 17 and were treated like VIPS. Thanks a lot for the unforgettable service and quality of breakfast . We will certainly come back. Cheers from the billekes Belgium

Very nice hotel in the middle of the old town. You can walk to most attractions in 2-3 mins! The staff are very helpful and friendly. Excellent breakfast. There is a hotel parking space very close by. Nice rooms, wonderful shower. Highly recommended

We stayed in Hotel Antique for 2 nights a few weeks ago. The first thing we got was Spiros` big smile. The hotel is located in the best place for visiting the city. Though central, it is in a small street. The room was very convenient, the bathroom spacious enough. The only thing is that there was no AC in the room, but we did not need it even though it was a hot day when we arrived. Breakfast was very rich and everything we asked for was delivered. The highlight of this great place is the staff: Spiros, Sotiris and another young lady whose name I do not remember (sorry), gave us the best feeling one can feel in a strange town. Ioannina is interesting with much history to explore and hotel Antique is the place to stay while you are there.

Such a pleasure to stay at the Antique Hotel. The moment through the front door there is a peaceful feeling with the open air patio just ahead. We stayed in a Maisonette type of room and it was comfortable. You could adjust the temperature on both floors . It is located in the perfect location as to have access to the lake and restaurants and the castle. The owner and other staff can not do enough to make you very comfortable. We really enjoyed taking day trips from here and were happy to be back for the evening.

A jewel of a boutique hotel about thirty meters away from the entrance to Ioannina castle, opposite an excellent bakery, close to the lake and the ferry, near a minimarket and as many restaurants as you wish. The rooms are very tastefully and well appointed, squeaky clean, with plenty of storage space, kettle, a superb spa shower, fluffy towels, honey toiletries and strong water pressure. Our room faced the courtyard and was very quiet. Varied breakfast with Greek and Continental choices. Stellar family owners and staff for whom nothing is a problem. Best of all - unlike the latest trend, I was not asked to write a review here and I do so with great pleasure and from the bottom of my heart.
