Great hotel in a perfect location for Rafina port or to head to Athens airport
Pros:

Comfortable room with a nice view of the port and incoming and departing ferries for our last night in Greece before flying home. The shuttle service was as advertised, on time and was a comfortable ride.

Cons:

The shower could have used a bit more cleaning

Loved it!
Pros:

The property is gorgeous! Very clean! It is nicely located by the port so we walked right to our ferry. The restaurant was good, however, on our last day the food -eggs , bacon etc were not ready on time. We waited til 6:40’ still not available. Otherwise the breakfast food was good. We had several paid meals as well and they were delicious Theirs a blonde hair guy server. He is amazing!!

Cons:

The blonde lady at front desk not friendly at all. Actually kind of rude. But the red head lady super nice and helpful

Utilitaire !
Pros:

L’emplacement, le confort

Cons:

Hôtel totalement IMPERSONNEL
Accueil froid derrière une vitre
Pas de bagagistes débrouillez vous aussi bien en arrivant qu’en partant
Petit déjeuner copieux mais de qualité médiocre
Café sans goût
Fruits sans goût
Charcuterie sortie de sachets plastique
Bref les Smile hotel on ne voit personne qui « smile » et on n’a pas envie non plus de sourire
Beaucoup trop cher pour ce que c’est
Évidemment ils profitent de l’emplacement
