Kept promises

We had high expectations having seen the previous reviews. We must say the Palazzo met them. Just willing to find some minor critics we can mention the bed: comfortable but closed along three sides so that one has to climb over the other to exit

We had a one-bedroom seaview suite that was spacious and charming with a small balcony. View is stunning! Bedroom was large with nice linens and pillows. Closet had lots of hangers. Bathroom had shampoo and bath gel. Kitchen was ample and had enough supplies for holiday needs. Even a mini bar (for a fee). A/c was efficient and great. Daily housekeeping provided.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Very loud. Difficult to sleep

Great location. And we got it for super cheap since it is low season. But the club downstairs owned by the safe company had very loud music till 1 or 2 am. The entire room was vibrating due to it. The bed is on a platform which is very easy to fall off in he middle of the night when walking. The lightning is quite dim which felt a bit depressing, and makes it difficult to see at night.

Fab location, airy apartment and stunning sea view

This was our second stay at the Palazzo. It’s a stone’s throw from all that Agios Nikolaos has to offer. We also enjoyed several half hour strolls to the beautiful sandy Alymnos beach. Highly recommended!

grosses, schönes Zimmer mit herrlichem Meerblick

das Zimmer war sehr schön. Der Balkon mit Meerblick einfach wunderbar. Wir hatten das Zimmer B1. Das Hotel liegt direkt am kleinen Stadtstrand mit kleinen Restaurants und Cafe/Bars umringt. Ins Zentrum sind es nur 3 Minuten zu Fuss.Sehr freundliche Besitzerin. Da wir immer etwas spät aufgestanden sind, haben wir das Frühstück in einem Restaurant direkt neben dem Hotel eingenommen. Wir hatten die 10 Tage einen Quad gemietet und haben so die Umgebung erkundet....einfach super wars. Zum Baden wars für uns noch etwas zu kalt.

Even though there are restaurants just outside, we hardly heard anything when going to sleep. We would definitely stay again.
