I first visited the Elpida 27 years ago and returned every year (often twice a year) for over 20 years because it was a family owned & run hotel, and the friendliness and standards were among the very best. Sadly about 5 years ago the hotel underwent a change in management, and as a result standards slipped and I stopped... More

I went to Elpida hotel with my family, wife and two kids, last August. It was such an amazing place to stay that we all enjoyed it so much!!!! The apartment was clean, comfortable and the view was fantastic. I was a bit worried about the food due to some unreasonable reviews but we were all finally quite satisfied. There... More

First of I would like to thank you for choosing Elpida Hotel for your holidays and apologise for the condition of the Hotel, even though I found the criticism exaggerated. I apologise even though the Hotel was under different management for the last 5 years but has now returned to the owners. We have already started a minor renovation with... More

We booked the hotel just a few days before travelling and were a bit concerned with some of the reviews but found, as most people here, that you get what you pay for and for that, it was great. We to arrived at about 3am to be met by Nikos the manager who immediately offered us both a cold drink.... More

We went for 10 days at the end of September and were probably one of the last group of guests for the season. We have family in Kalo Chorio so had seen the hotel - we didn't realise how vast the grounds were or how steep ALL the grounds were. Long and steep hill up to reception together with lots... More

Sometimes I read these reviews with disbelief. I went to the Elpida with my family (wife and 2 kids, 3 and 6 years old) in mid August and had a fantastic holiday. What people fail to say is that they probably paid very little for their holiday yet probably expect a 5 star experience, get real! For the money we... More

This hotel was perfect for what we wanted. My husband & I went for 11 nights with our two teenage daughters. We knew it wasn't 5* & we knew there was no entertainment when we booked.

The Elpida hotel is a very rare thing to find - a package holiday hotel that feels more like a boutique hotel, with loads of character, run by a sweet man Nicos who genuinely seems to care about his guests. We booked at the Elpida based on the reports of the fabulous views and we weren't disappointed - the views... More

I have recently returned from a two week break at the Elpida. We have visited this hotel before and would happily do so again in the future. I have never written a review before, having not felt the need, but having read some of the things people have posted, I felt I had to defend the Elpida and the staff.... More
