Hotel berhampiran Mycenaean Acropolis (Koukounaries), Paros

This was one of the most unpleasant experiences of my life. The photos provided were only about 30% accurate in representing the actual condition of the place, with the only redeeming factor being the view. Upon initially entering our room, we were shocked to discover several issues, including broken cabinets, furniture with holes and mold, and malfunctioning lighting. The most concerning problem was the transparent glass at the upper part of the entrance, which allowed anyone in the corridor to see inside the room. It's important to note that even though the wall extended for 2.5 meters, anyone passing by in the corridor could easily peer into the room. The building appeared to be at least 60 years old, reminiscent of settings in horror movies where unsettling activities take place. The very next day, we promptly requested a room change as the room we were initially assigned bore no resemblance to the photos advertised on the website. Fortunately, the hotel accommodated our request and changed our room on the same day. However, on that very day, after relocating to the new room, my spouse experienced a terrifying incident while taking a shower. Without making any sudden movements, the sliding glass door of the shower shattered and fell on her. She was left covered in small glass fragments, which took us nearly two hours to painstakingly remove one by one from her body. I immediately reported this incident to the hotel management the following morning, resulting in the replacement of the sliding glass door on the same day. Unfortunately, the same nightmare repeated itself when the new sliding glass door shattered in the same manner, showering me with glass pieces once again. These multiple injuries resulted in wounds and cuts, causing the bathroom and the entire shower area to be covered in blood. This situation made it impossible for us to stay in that room overnight, leading to another request for a room change. Subsequently, I had to rush to the hospital in Paros for medical treatment to address my wounds. Since the day of the incident, I have consistently suffered from infections, prompting me to seek medical attention once again upon my return home. It's worth noting that I initially contacted the hotel requesting a full refund without resorting to negative reviews or legal action. (July prices are 185eur per night) However, after eight weeks of back-and-forth email exchanges, the hotel only refunded me for two out of the five days of my stay, citing that the accident occurred two days before my departure.

Our stay at Opal Paros was nothing short of amazing! My husband and I stayed there for 6 nights, we couldn't get enough of Paros and we felt truly at home. The staff at the hotel, namely Kostas, was exceptional! He helped us with planning our week around the island, giving food recommendations, booking an ATV, and made himself available whenever we needed anything. The hotel is in a prime location- just a short 5 minute walk from the main Naoussa area, which was extremely convenient for eating out, shopping, and exploring the night life. The room was very clean, modern, comfortable, and came with a complimentary bottle of wine! I would 100% recommend this hotel to anybody looking for a true gem of Greece with the most friendly staff. Hoping we're able to book another stay at Opal soon!

We cannot recommend Hotel Iris enough. Anastasia made our stay in Paros the absolute best it could be. On arrival, Anastasia wrote us out an extensive list on her favourite places to visit. She also helped us to hire an ATV which made getting around easy. The smile she greeted us with instantly made the hotel feel warm and homely. The hotel rooms were extremely clean and the beds were super comfortable. The buffet breakfast was delightful, lots of options and all very fresh! The location of the hotel is great, walking distance to the main square of Naoussa. We have already recommended this to others and will continue to do so. Thanks so much Hotel Iris, we hope we’re back soon!

Piccolo albergo nel centro di Paroikia in zona tranquilla ristrutturato da poco pulito ed arredato con gusto contemporaneo. La camera enorme dotata di terrazzino con un letto comodissimo e scelta di cuscini tutta sui toni del verdeazzurro Tiffany una meraviglia così pure il bagno con finestra e piastrelline a mosaico; tutto molto luminoso. Colazione a buffet in sala o terrazzino molto buona con prodotti freschi e musica/ambiente in sottofondo. La signora Markella che lo gestisce molto gentile e disponibile: mi ha sostituito la lampadina dell'abajour in tempo zero! Unico miglioramento sarebbe un armadio più grande, una sedia in più e qualche gancio per appendere le cose, per il resto perfetto. Ci tornerei sicuramente!

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely hotel. Breakfast is very good, location is close to the port, if u don’t feel like renting a car, this hotel takes $ 20 euros to come from the port and you can just relax here. I mean a taxi. Hotel staffs are very helpful, we also enjoyed the beach just 5 min walk from the front of the hotel. Our room needs some improvement but you can book better room I’m sure, I booked mine in such last minute, got a room has garden view not sea view, but it is at the main bldg we do not need to drag our big luggage onto slope or stairs, so I have no complaint about that. We had dinner at the hotel, lamb shank is excellent and not expensive, we paid more $ at Naoussa, and the food is actually better here, calamari is very good too. Only one issue I have is bug inside the room, I had to call the reception lady to come inside my room to help me kill a bug in the bathroom. Well, I live in Florida with tropical garden settings, I am not surprise to see bugs, but inside a hotel room is not quite good. Overall I would give 4 star, that bug took away the one star.
