"View was fantastic! Slept well in a very comfortable bed. Room and bathroom were clean. Room was on the ground floor with courtyard. Was able to open back door and walk to fortress wall for spectator view. Next visit plan to try an upper floor room. "

"Amazing view from my room, wonderful staff and right in the centre of town Breakfast was great with staff even asking if I wanted tea and scrambled eggs for breakfast on arrival."

"This is a beautiful hotel with amazing views and a very good breakfast buffet. If you are ready to take a decent walk through this cobbled town and climb stairs you will be rewarded with a charming room and magical views"

"Very personable staff, especially Aphrodite at dinner! Room (superior suite) was very large and comfortable. Special accommodations in a very special and unique place!! "

"Amazing hotel with great service and beautiful views. "

"Charming boutique hotel—cozy, stylish, and well kept. The staff are genuinely courteous and attentive, offering helpful tips and warm service throughout. Food is excellent (breakfast is a standout), making the on-site dining worth staying in for. Convenient location too: about 15 minutes from the center of Monemvasia, so you’re close to the action but in a quieter spot. Overall, great value for a relaxed, quality stay."

"Service was amazing. Room was spotless. Our view was incredible!! Breakfast buffet was really good. Would definitely come back!!"

"The experience of staying within walls is something else. Monemvasia has managed to capture and maintain the feel of an ancient fortification while giving one the comforts of modern civilization (indoor plumbing!) The Likinia Hotel is well located, about a 5 minute walk away from the main street and sufficiently separated. At times you even have the feeling that you have the whole fortress to yourself. Since the family room was the last available option, we had an entire apartment with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms to ourselves. The rooms were very clean and spacious, especially for just two individuals. We recommend booking well in advance or checking with the hotel directly so that you can get an appropriately sized room and allow more people to experience the place :) The staff were kind and even helped with our bag up the final winding route to the room. The breakfast was a smaller spread but comprised of very high quality food in our opinion. The complimentary bottle of wine for the stay (a regional variety) was also a nice touch. The view from the room was also quite nice and we could look out onto the sea over the tops of other buildings. It was a really nice experience. We would recommend the hotel for it's location and will consider going back if we visit Monemvasia again."

"Our stay here was pleasant, though there were a few challenges. We had some difficulty with the gate at arrival, as instructions on how to enter were not clear, and we were also unsure where to leave the remote control upon departure. Additionally, it felt a bit misleading that there were no photos showing the farm animals on the property (cats, dogs, geese, chickens, horses, etc.), which are very much present. The biggest drawback was the barking dogs at night, which made it difficult to sleep. The location is excellent—just a three-minute walk to the beach. The beach itself was clean with soft sand mixed with small pebbles that were easy on the feet. Beach beds were affordable, though many had visible stains, and the bar could benefit from offering a wider variety of snacks and food. That said, the mixed drinks were delicious, and prices were consistent with what we experienced throughout Greece. One important note: the address is confusing on Google Maps. Entering the address shows a location on Elafonisos island, which is misleading, while searching by the property name brings you to the correct coastal location. The home itself was very clean and well prepared. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like bottled water, coffee, creamer, and laundry pods. Gyorgia was incredibly kind and hospitable, and her efforts made our stay enjoyable."
