A great place to stay with family.
It is a clean place with a pool and a garden and is walking distance to Kamara beach which has many restaurants and beach activities.
It seemed to be a family-run business. The service was good and breakfast had many vegan options (upon request).

This is not a hotel with ocean view. The family which stays there runs the place. Reception is not open you are lead through kitchen by the family dressed in pajamas and no shoes. They are unprofessional and extremely rude. They ended up shouting at my wife and kids to a point where did not feel safe and ended up leaving the property a few hours after checking in.

Hard beds and hot water and that could scold you, room cleaning not until late in the afternoon!
Breakfasts are wholesome and plentiful, Zoi and family were accommodating and helpful but could have provided a guide to the hotel and services in every room.
i would return as the location is just within the 10000 steps per day of the beach and the promenade.

The hotel is very clean the personal is lovely. The only thing I did not like was the food at Breakthrogh was tasty but little. We had to wait for them to bring more. Was not embarrassing. We had to leave a couple of days to get breakfast outside as there was none left. It would be great if they get my feedback. Otherwise all god with cleaning and changing towels. Every day there was cleaning.

The property did not respected my booking and didn’t provided me with any room, even though my booking was confirmed by mail. The property claimed it was an expedia problem and instead of helping with a solution, they put me to contact Expedia. Expedia was NOT helpful. Took 7hrs and about 10 calls so they could talk about relocating me and still they never relocated me. I had to look for a new accomodation on my own late at night.
Castro hotel had a terrible costumer service, just as comparable to the Expedia one who was also inhumane. I am still waiting for the relocation..
