"Fantastic room, with plenty of extras provided: towel robe, slippers, toiletries etc. Good location for the sea and port. Would happily stay again."

"Easy access, free parking in the basement, excellent service, friendly stuff, quality restaurant and bar. The room was quiet, we didn't hear any noise from the next door rooms. It was a very pleasant experience, highly recommended if you plan to visit the city of Volos."

"Unfortunately, there was a big problem with the fireplace. In the hour that I was able to sit down (because I assumed it was something temporary), I found that the entire 1st floor had a big problem, since it was leaking smoke! When I asked the hotel if there was another room that wasn't leaking, the answer was negative, and the reason for the problem was that it was leaking because "wind is blowing and we can't do anything about it"!!!! Unfortunately for the hotel managers, I work for a technical company and have (also) worked on chimney installations. Therefore, I know that when the chimney is leaking smoke, it's not the wind's fault! Quite simply, either the construction is wrong or the chimney has not been maintained. Too bad, because the place seemed to be about the same as the photos, even if the room (triple) needed a renovation, while the tavern outside looked amazing. I say it seemed because I didn't sit down to eat, of course. Finally, the manager, in addition to writing me down in a place where ink doesn't get caught in my remarks about the tobacco, almost shouted at me (classic behavior of a Greek "businessman" when he doesn't need the customer) because I told him that I would delay leaving a little until I found another place to stay. And because I didn't want to "poison" (literally, because I have respiratory problems, and figuratively) my vacation any more, I got up and left. My "poisoning" cost me an overnight stay, as is also provided for by the hotel's policy. I was expecting something better because of the inconvenience, since I finally found somewhere to stay in the afternoon, and not in the mountains of course, but we said, it was August 15th and they didn't need us, so..."

"My family and I were at the hotel for a happy occasion of Christening of a close friend's child. The place is tranquil, and personnel are ready to help and assist. Rooms are well equipped with coffee & tea equipment, plenty of towels. Spa offers a variety of massages and different procedures."

"Wonderful accommodation! The apartments are brand new, functional, and beautifully decorated. There's a stunning view of Pelion. The location is ideal, close to the city center, allowing you to explore beautiful Volos on foot. Parking can be arranged 100m from the property. The staff is incredibly kind and available 24/7. Thanks to Jenny for her hospitality and to Alexandra for helping us find a car repair shop. We felt right at home. We will definitely be back!""

"The hotel is conveniently located, about a 10 minute walk from the port. The room is small but clean and tidy. Breakfast is good, and the view is excellent. I booked a sea-view room, which indeed offers a nice sea view, but it is also next to the road, so it can be a bit noisy at night."

"The balcony of the room can directly see the ships returning to the port, and the sea is visible as soon as the window is opened. The disadvantage is that it is quite humid, there is an outdoor bar downstairs, and it is quite noisy in the morning"

"Needing to catch an early ferry from Volos and not finding anything suitable in town, we decided to stay at Hotel Kritsa in Portaria having seen other good reviews online. We were not disappointed! The hotel and restaurant are nestled on the main square in the centre of the village. Our room was comfortably furnished with a little balcony overlooking the square. We had a fridge, tea and coffee making facilities and air-conditioning (a must when temperatures are in the late 30s) The staff were really friendly especially Elein and we ate at the restaurant in the evening. Food was fantastic. With a very early start we didn’t get to sample the breakfast which everyone raves about however they kindly made up a pack-up for us. Great value and a lovely hotel"

"It was a great vocation for us. The view and beaches are incredible. Room was a authentic style stone building. we found a comfort in our room. The hotel manager is a very kind man we would like to thanks for the hospitality and the staffs are kind and always helpful. we were near the pool. our kid went to pool whenever he wanted. The nearest beach milopotamos is 2.5 km away (it has 2 restaurants and 2 cafes) and a furthest beach papa nero (many restaurants and cafes) is 20 km away. beach and a crystal clear water is amazing. To reach the hotel you have to pass 50 km mountain road and it takes about 2 hours. this is the most annoying thing. roads are narrow and hard to drive. you have to drive slowly. the worst thing in our holiday was the curvy narrow roads. other than that it was a great experience for us. we would like to go there again."
