Nice boutique, family owned hotel. In a quiet area with short walk to the beach and restaurants. Hostess was very friendly and helpful with arranging transportations. Good place to stay if you want a low key hotel without pool or other amenities.

Please please avoid this hotel at the moment due to very very very noisy renovations. They were directly above me drilling and banging and I got no rest. The website said it would be finished by the time of my stay - but this was very inaccurate. 3 nights from hell.

Very pleasant experience. Dated hotel but is very good value for money. Breakfast was nicely organised in a light airy hall. Room had all the basic comforts required although was not as aesthetic as the pictures. I would not mind staying here again when in Syntagma, Athens.

Very good hotel

I have stayed at Aretusa Hotel before and always enjoyed my stay. It is near the Airport-Express-Busstop and has good value. My room was nice with good amenities and comfort. Breakfast was very good. One thing I did not enjoy, was that the bathroom light went off while I was taking a shower due to the motion detector that didn´t detect me moving in the shower. But all in all it was a nice stay.
