Parosland Hotel

One of the nicest hotels I have stayed in for this price range. Everything was impeccable! No detail left out in decor, design and room amenities. We were there in mid April so high season had not started it was fairly quiet. Food was excellent with added touches. Breakfast was elaborate. Pool and are was lovely. Town of Alyiki was charming. A great spot if you are looking to get away from it all.

This was an okay hotel but there is no vanity in the washroom and the finishings are rustic and look cheap. One drink at the pool bar a vodka cranberry was $28 which was crazy. Staff is nice and breakfast is great just I was expecting more from pictures and atmosphere and I felt ripped off by that drink. We couldn’t just get tipsy by the pool.

The hotel is located in a nice beach area with a number of restaurants nearby. It is quite far from the main town where the ferry is located. The hotel does offer a car rental service at a very reasonable price. The rooms are quite dated but the grounds and pool area are really nice. The restaurant on-site had a decent selection of dinner options that we enjoyed. Breakfast was included in our stay and offered a variety of tasty items. The staff were very nice and made our stay quite pleasant.

We stayed at Parosland Hotel in Alyki as a family of four adults and were ultimately disappointed by the overly strict atmosphere that made it hard to relax. While the property itself is nice, especially the pool area, many of the rules felt unnecessarily rigid and unwelcoming. You have to check out towels from the front desk and face a steep fee if they’re not returned immediately. Pool use is tightly controlled—you can’t bring your own drinks, not even a bottle of Powerade, and even hotel drinks aren’t allowed in the pool, only at the small tables around the outside of it. When we asked if we could use a paper cup, we were told those were only for "take away" drinks. The hotel advertises a happy hour from 3–5 pm, but it only applies to their €14 cocktails. Oddly, this overlaps with designated “quiet time” at the pool, which adds to the confusion. It seemed like there were more staff than guests during our stay, and with many of them stationed overlooking the pool from the restaurant, we often felt watched rather than welcomed. On top of that, small gestures you'd expect from a hotel fell flat—like refusing my dad a cup of coffee that was already brewed and ready before the breakfast buffet officially opened at 8 am. Overall, the restrictive environment left a bad taste in our mouths and discouraged us from dining at the hotel or spending much time on the property. We found ourselves heading into town instead, where the atmosphere was far more relaxed and enjoyable.

The hotel was built to be for the looks. It appears very nice but my family and I found a lot of flaws or things we didn’t like throughout our stay. The beds were very hard and the WiFi often didn’t reach our room that was relatively close to the lobby. We ordered drinks to go and they gave us half cups for an expensive price. When we got a meal the food was average and they charged us and gave us a separate bill when we asked for an extra side of sauce. We weren’t allowed to bring a drink by the pool or have any food or drink not from the hotel in the pool area. My mother had to sign a document to use a couple poolside towels and would be charged if they weren’t returned in 24 hours. When my dad returned the car keys he told them he filled the car back up with gas and he had to show the receptionist the receipt for proof. There were mosquitos and ants in our room, however I did not see any cockroaches like the other reviews have mentioned. The last morning or our stay, my dad tried to get a coffee and a water a few minutes before breakfast started and they scolded him for trying. All of these things aren’t that bad but the buildup of incidents became very unpleasant. The place doesn’t come without a few positives, just don’t ask me what they are. I just wouldn’t recommend this to anyone looking to stay in Paros.
