The photographs were a bit misleading when I booked this hotel. The hotel lobby was cluttered and very dirty. I didn't even want to sit on the hotel lobby couch because of how dirty it was. It was not welcoming or inviting. There were a lot of travellers who were constantly dropping their bags there and picking up their bags so it was chaotic and loud. The breakfast was very little and it was horrible. Not only that, the person serving the breakfast was extremely rude. On top of this, the floor was super filthy, there were a lot of garbage and dirt on the floor. It's always windy in Paros so the wind blew off the dirt from the floors and all the dust and dirt went into my orange juice and tea, which was disgusting. The photographs of this hotel on Expedia, Google, and Instagram make it seem as if it's a very nice modern hotel. However, the elevator, lobby, hallways, the washroom, shower , etc.. were extremely outdated. The washroom had the smallest sink and the tiniest shower, which made it very uncomfortable to shower. The cooling system in the room didn't even work properly with the remote and so we had to open the balcony door to turn off the AC (how crazy is that?) The room was either freezing cold or too hot due to the the fact that the AC system wasn't working properly. The only positive aspect about this hotel is its location to be honest, because it was close to the port and shopping areas.

Very disappointing.
We booked a triple room or deluxe room, but on arrival we’ve been given a small double and an extra metal folding bed. The room had a very distinctive smell probably from the restaurant downstairs. The cleaning lady constantly forgotten to leave us the bed sheets or enough towels for three people. Not recommended.

Unfortunately this listing is not accurate
This is a clean and VERY well-located hotel directly across from the Parikia ferry port. We chose it largely because of the location, which definitely met expectations, but also because of the amenities offered in the listing: "Continental breakfasts are available daily from 8:00 AM to 10:30 AM...Featured amenities include dry cleaning/laundry services." However these amenities unfortunately did not exist. After two weeks traveling as a family without laundry access, we had pinpointed this hotel as when we'd finally be able to do laundry for the whole family. Upon arrival we were told there was no laundry and no breakfast, which was certainly a disappointment. There is also no restaurant, bar, or lounge as mentioned in the listing. But the most unfortunate part was the complete lack of communication available prior to arrival. We had messaged the hosts weeks earlier to inquire about check-in details, and then sent a few messages in the days prior to check-in via the Vrbo app as well as the hotel's regular email. We were particularly concerned once our ferry was delayed and we would be arriving close to midnight—would we even be able to check in that late? The prospect of wandering Parikia with our luggage and child was not fun, so we reached out to the central Vrbo team for assistance. They were fantastic and even located alternative accommodations for us in case this hotel was not open when we arrived. Luckily it was. However, to this day we have received no response from the hotel host(s). I would book a different Vrbo if you are considering, this one is not worth the hassle!

Okay.
I booked this hotel actually by mistake as I was interested in another in the next street.The room had 2 single beds as. dictated could be given on the site but it was no where near the equivalent to the double in the attached fancy photo.The hotel needs updating as the lobby, rooms and bathroom are dated.The sheets and towels were super clean and the receptionist was friendly.

Good hotel, plenty of potential
I was only staying one night but the hotel was only a few minutes form the ferry and the staff where very helpful during check in. The room was large and very clean and had three beds in it but part from the beds a tv and refrigerator it was very sparse. You felt the space was wasted and by removing one of the single beds chairs or a settee and table could be added. Overall thought it was a good experience.

Jillian made sure we were well taken care off. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. When our Air conditioning did not work we were upgraded to a room with a sea view and more spAce. It was nice to stay in the port and walk everywhere. Great experience

Great location right next to the port and yhe reception staff werr friendly. The rooms are sound-proofed from outside noise but we could hear every little bit of noise that emanated within the hotel itself. There was a stale smell in the reception area but this does not carry through into the rooms. The room was serviced daily but the shower-head was broken and did not work properly. It was impossible to have a proper shower. The balcony area could have done with a clean down every day as given the proximity to the port a huge amount of dust accumulated on the seats provided. A quick wipe down each day would have sufficed. Overall a pleasant stay in Hotel Kontes.

DEFINITELY not worth the hefty price tag!
The ONLY positive about our stay was the location. We felt we overpaid for our room but thought that since it was the final leg of our journey we would spoil ourselves. The location was excellent, a one minute walk from the port. When we arrived, reception seemed rather indifferent. The hotel itself was not particularly clean. Once in the room, we found it spacious. Once in we found the A/C units barely functional. Wall plugs would pull from the walls and a shower head that was broken and hanging from the stall. However, staff did fix the shower problem immediately after it was brought to there attention. Overall, other than location and room size the 210€ + price tag was definitely not warranted. There are other hotels on Paros that do a much better job for much less.

THE BEST HOTEL IN PAROS,close to port & everything
We are leaving this beautiful hotel after 4 nights stay. Since I told them it is our first time in Paros and it is our 25th anniversary, they upgrade our room without charging us. They are so nice , we feel we are leaving our friends just in 4 nights stay. for sure we will be back to the hotel again and again and for sure we will recommend them to everyone . I like to thank; Pavlos Mpalkas ( owner ), Lyudmyla Antonova( Restaurant ) and our wonderful housekeeper; Eleana Prifti. Please keep up the good work . BTW, their homemade breakfast, lunch and dinner which is being prepared by Pavlos Mom is die for... Goodbye Hotel Kontes , we will miss you guys .

Clean hotel with basic amenities
Clean hotel with basic amenities conveniently located next to the port. We were very satisfied. We arrived early around 10am and the hotel stored our bags until the room was ready while we walked around the town. The AC was nice and cold, breakfast was continental style - yogurt with honey, bread & jams, slice of ham & cheese, coffee/tea, juice. Clean towels are provided every other day which was quite alright just wish we were told that at check-in. Parikia was a very nice town for shopping and dining. Also took the bus to Naousa for shopping and dinner, and Pounda Beach for a fantastic day at an organized beach with chairs, bar, & swimming in the sea & pool.
