Hotel Petros

recently returned from our 3rd stay at Petros. Everything was excellent as Dennis the new manager has everything running smoothly. All staff are very polite and take time to talk with the guests. We stayed in room 256 a superior room which overlooks the kids pool with lovely views of the surrounding area. The beds are firm but very comfortable. The bathroom has a walk-in shower with a screen and we always had hot water when required. We had maid service every day and she did a lovely job keeping everything very clean. The pool area is excellent with a good pool for cooling off. Plenty sunbeds available so no need to rush down in the morning as the sun is on the area all day. We had a lovely time staying and only a 10 minute walk takes you to many bars and restaurants. It takes around 20-25 minutes to walk to the beach. We will definitely be returning in the future.

After booking late with the travel agent, we read reviews and were worried about the hotel. When we arrived we were surprised how good it was. Staff are brilliant. Dennis the Manager always checks every morning how you are. Breakfast exceptional. Remember you are in another country so you will not get the same breakfast as in Blackpool. Consisted of fresh juice, tea, coffee, beans, bacon, yummy scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, fresh meats and cheeses, croisants, fresh bread, cereals, muesli and great youghurts, taost and jams and marmalades. Anyone who complains about this range is just out to complain. We have stayed 5 star without such choice. Pool and surroundings brilliiant. We could not fault the hotel and will certainly be back.

What can I say stayed here many times over the yrs this yr we saw a big impact new manager Dennis seems to be doing a great job The staff are excellent can’t fault any of them I had a problem with our room it was sorted straight away excellent management the family who owns it are very good friends petros (Peter) his dad spiros and the family wouldn’t hesitate to go back big improvements breakfast superb look forward to seeing you guys in September for my birthday Jackie & Chris .

I read some of the reviews before booking this, so I hope my review is a good honest reflection of the petros hotel . I travelled with my child, it is the start of the season so very quiet which was great, I stayed In the suites which were very spacious modern and clean . They are at the back of the hotel next to kids pool. The owner and staff are the most friendliest people, breakfast is basic, cold meat cheese local cerals and yogurts some eggs and local bacon, don't expect an all inclusive style breakfast. It's a B&B hotel . The hotel is a short walk to town located far enough away to enjoy the countryside sights and sounds. Overall I enjoyed this small family hotel would recommend for a good base to explore the surrounding area.

Had a great holiday tsilivi is a love place to visit such lovely friendly people and so many places to to eat and drink hotel Petros where we stayed was a great location near to everything and staff were so friendly and helpful definitely going again

Came to this hotel in may I don’t know why I’ve waited till now to leave a review !! We usually go to turkey or Corfu so our first time in Zante and it didn’t disappoint on arrival we had a issue with our room which the manager delt with efficiently … the room we had was spotlessly clean bins emptied beds made and mopped every day . The pool bar had a lovely chilled out vibe and a regular stop off at Sandra’s every evening into town can highly recommend . Ate at the brothers and family and also the Chinese on the left as you walk into town dodnt have one bad meal . If you looking for a base a short walk from tsilivi with friendly staff this is perfect . The breakfast was fine coffee a little weak , fresh bread tomatoes feta ect it was perfectly fine and I’m very fussy . I loved this hotel and I’d happily return and hopefully next year we will .

We weren't expecting the Petros to be luxurious, its listed as a 3 star, so we thought it would be middle of the road, fairly basic but clean - we were wrong! We were given a room at the front that overlooked a main road it was VERY busy and noisy 24/7. The shower - the rail was rusty and looked like a relic from the 1960's. The curtain served no purpose, the water ran off of it and soaked the floor. The hook that you hang the shower on was old, discoloured and way too high. The door was filthy. The wardrobe - yellowed with age, the drawers were peeling, there wasn't a matching coat hanger to be found. A dirty mark (could be blood, pooh or chocolate) on the door. The dressing table - the drawers were stained and dirty, there was a hair in the drawer and on the stool. There were cobwebs on the wall behind the main door. The curtains were awful. Breakfast was inedible. We're really not too fussy and can usually find something to eat, but when a hotel is serving orange squash as orange juice, you can imagine what the rest of the food was like. After two nights, we felt so disappointed, we'd seen an advert for a studio apartment in town so we booked it and stayed there for the remaining nine nights, it was fabulous! We didn’t inform the hotel management about out complaints, they obviously know these rooms are not fit for purpose, it’s reported on here many times. I did contact Jet2 via Twitter and spoke to a local rep, I informed her of our situation. The website states that the Petros Hotel is "a great choice for couples and families looking for a relaxing break in Zante, with a combination of traditional and modern room types. This maybe the case if you are given a room in the nice new area at the back of the hotel (not that this would improve the breakfast), it certainly wasn't our experience - it is not worthy of a 3-star rating.

When we walked in to our room, we were hit with the smell of sewage. We opened the bathroom door and it was even worse,the smell was coming from the shower drain and sink hole. We reported it to the manager and she sent up a cleaner with some bleach, which only masked over the smell. When we reported it to the Jet2 rep, she agreed it was disgusting, but as the resort was 'full', she could not move us. She gave us an email address for Jet2 customer services to make a complaint when we got home. We lodged a complaint and they replied to us 6 weeks later saying that on investigating the complaint, the hotel manager said there had been toilet roll blocking the pipes and we were entitled to no compensation. They made us feel like it was our fault, strange as the smell was there when we arrived. Also,the pool side wasn't cleaned once whilst we were there. The breakfast was not a breakfast, all in all the place was awful.

Booked a last minute holiday here. Wouldn’t be in any kind of rush to come back to this hotel. The room we got allocated was one at the front of the hotel looking onto the road. What I have now learnt is that they is a new block out the back of the hotel with modern rooms. Guessing these was all booked as we did a last min booking. The old rooms are well.. old and tired! The beds are like concrete, not comfortable at all. We had a little lizard living in our room with us the entire of our stay. We was b&b but didn’t get told any information on checking in about breakfast and the set up. (Not a problem to us because we ate out). To the left of the reception was a few tables set up for breakfast so I am assuming that’s where you eat. We did eat at the pool bar which was very overpriced and small portions. Aircon is absolutely shocking!! The bathroom was a danger. You have a shower tray with a shower curtain that doesn’t go to the floor so the floor ends up soaking and very slippery. The shower water was bubbling up from the drain in the bathroom leaving an awful smell. Watch out for the stray dogs that lay by the pool, they can be vicious if you go near them. Also if your unlucky like us and get put in one of the old rooms on the front take earplugs!! Everyone on the scooters seem to beep as they go round the corner, and across the road they is 2 cows with bells round their necks and 3 lots of cockerels that take it in turn to shout all night! Last but not least, get your alarm set for 6am to do the towel run and be prepared to watch the reserved sun beds stay empty all day long! They is also another pool round the back!
