Arian Hotel

There are a few quirks and space limitations, but the caring attention to guests makes up for them. We loved the warm service and the flower-filled inner courtyard. Our balcony had lovely scented jasmine and a gorgeous Bougainvillea, and other balconies also benefit from all the plants. The top floor is a bit quieter, though you can still hear street chatter, as you'd expect in a Greek town. It's a charming, family-run hotel on a central but quiet street.

It's just a two-to-four-minute walk to the port, marina, restaurants, and city center, which made this an ideal place to relax between island exploring or while waiting for the next boat. The privately run hotel is pretty and very friendly, and walking in just puts a smile on your face. It feels like finding a secret garden. The owners are welcoming, helpful, and very well organized. We absolutely recommend staying here.

The family running the hotel were so kind and hospitable, and I really wished we could have stayed longer. It's in a handy spot within walking distance of the port and some restaurants. Inside, it feels like a beautiful secret hideout with all the Greek vibes.

A lovely little basic hotel in the quiet part of town, still close to the old part of Parikia. The host is like the Greek grandmother you've always wanted.
