Stayed for our honeymoon in Paris. We absolutely loved the pool, ease of convenience to downtown Naoussa. Staff were friendly and very helpful when asking for restaurant recommendations, scheduling our transfers to the airport & overall questions. Conveniently located to coffee, laundry, food, etc. we would most definitely stay again and recommend to others!

The staff were incredibly kind and generous with their time and super helpful for getting around. The room was very nice but the only issue was the bathroom is a bit old and has a slight sewage smell. Also the walk from the town center is a bit grueling in the heat. The only other issue was that they only give you one room key so in the summer the room heats up when you’re not home because the AC requires the key plug. Overall the staff were super helpful with giving us a lot of instructions and support and help with recommendations and getting around.

We were given a very small room which was not the one I booked. When I made enquiries they said they would change after the first night. (We were booked for 5 nights) The bed in the first room was so bad I hardly slept . Very uncomfortable, loud noisy springs and sagging so much, whenever we my moved we woke up. The room was not great and so small it was difficult to move around with only 2 of us. We were moved the next day to a much bigger room which was the one I paid for on the picture on website when I booked. This room was great and we had twin beds which were firm but comfortable. Great size fridge in this room compared to tiny one in first room, and we had a small table to eat at which was great. Hotel staff were friendly, helpful and very accommodating to our needs. The pool was wonderful, huge and clean. Lots of choice for Sunbeds which were a little tired but okay and a pool bar for food and drinks available. Location was away from main town and a car was necessary but there were buses I think. Coffee shops, cafes across the road which were great. Supermarket a couple of minutes by car. I would only rate this property 3 star but it suited our needs and once we were changed to the correct room, I think the price suited the property.

Nice pool, good cocktails! We didn’t take breakfast but across the hotel was a very nice coffee bakery and a supermarket. Scooter rental is a few minutes away. Restaurant Marmitta was also a few minutes walk, just outside the centre, very nice food .

The staff at the counter were wonderful and very helpful, howvever the room was below American Standards with very basic shower and sink that only fits small individuals. Also the facility is out of the area with walking down the hill and back up the hill to get to any food facilities.

Perfect location, anything you asked the staff for was never a problem. On our last day we forgot a bag in the hotel and didn’t realize until they called to let us know. We were already at port waiting to board the ferry and they arranged someone to drop off the bag to us at no charge. Couldn’t believe how lucky we were to receive this kind of service. Highly recommend!!

We had a great stay at Arkoulis, thank you to the team working here! The hotel is lovely. The property is beautiful, there were nice plants everywhere, and it has a great big pool, very clean. I haven't noticed such big pools at other hotels, actually. The location is excellent, because it is very close (7 min walk) to the bus station, from where you can easily (and cheaply) explore Paros. At the same time, it is a 15-min walk to downtown Naoussa, so it is very close, but far enough from the noise of the party-goers, which we appreciated. The walk is also welcome with all the eating we were doing: some exercise :) I would recommend this hotel for its location, cleanliness, charm (we had a little balcony where we liked to spend time early mornings and late evenings), nice pool, and helpful staff. Finally, it had the best price out of all the hotels I checked in Naoussa.

Fairly standard

The hotel felt too far out from the main part and with a suitcase on arrival this wasn't easy as had to climb a hill in the heat. Also when I arrived i got told a list of rules which I thought was a bit odd for a solo female traveller in her 40s - I felt like it was school rules and as a well travelled woman (and staying over 6 hotels during this one trip to Greece), I never experienced this before (well maybe in my 20s). The room was nice and clean and I was "upgraded" to a pool view. Nothing special but I guess I knew it wouldn't be when I booked it. It was good value for the price, and despite the 'rules' they were friendly people
