We stayed at Hotel Remezzo for two weeks Summer 2009.

Positive:
The hotel is closely situated to the harbour and the beaches in Pythagorion. The hotel roof terasse holds an amazing view over Pythagorion. The balcony has space for two persons and place to hang your towels and clothing. The outer doors on the balcony were very sound and sunlight proof.

Negative:
According to Star Tour the hotel was rated as a 3 star plus. We could not understand that this was correct, since the standard of our room equaled a 2 star. Surely, after a couple of days, our thoughts were confirmed as a chart on the door informed that the Greek government had rated the hotel as a 2 star.

The room itself is okay, with standard single beds (2 or 3). The bathroom on the other hand was very small (about 1,5 meter x 1,5 meter) and was not in the best condition. The shower was very small (65cm x 65 cm). And unfortunately, every shower was a constant battle against the shower curtains willingness to cling against your body! :(

The security of the hotel is poor, since the reception is left unattended for the most of the time. In addition, the balcony doors had no real lock. Especially, when living on the ground floor, you feel a little more vulnerable for theft. So we had to buy access to the safe of our room. In addition we always kept our suitcases locked.

Keep in mind that although the room rates might seem okay, both air condition, refrigerator and safe fees will come in addition. Air condition 4, 50 euro per day, refrigerator 4 euro per day, and safe 10 euro per week.

When it came to the cleaning of the room, the floors were cleaned every day as well as the night stands. But the bathroom facilities were cleaned less often. We received two small soaps the first day of our stay, and that was it. No more soap after that. The sheets were changed 3 times during our 14 day stay, and we got new towels every other day.

In conclusion we were disappointed with the hotel service and standard. But as long as you keep in mind that it is only a 2 star, you might not get as disappointed as we did.

About Pythagorion:
We would recommend Pythagorion as a travel destination. The atmosphere is amazing, and it is easy getting to know the people. Pythagorion holds many types of beaches, small shops, cafes and restaurants, and it is very calm and relaxing. We would definitely go back to this city :)

We stayed 3 nights at the Remezzo hotel and were very pleased with the room, the friendly owners and the atmosphere. We stayed in a room on the roof terrace with amazing view over the harbor. Rooms are very clean with AC and safety box. Our flight was late on the last day and we were offered to use shower and bathroom in the basement so that we could spend the last day on the beach although we had already checked out. We highly recommend this cosy hotel.

Spent one marvellous week at Hotel Remezzo and Studios in Pythagorion last year in Mid-Aug together with a friend of mine. Star Tour has rated the hotel as a 3+ hotel. I'll say it's more like a 4. It's my abs favourit hotel in Pythagorion, and I've seen many of them after a season as a tour rep in Pythagorion in the summer of 2002.

First of all the hotel is very clean, compeared with Greek standard. It has a stunning view over the harbour (if you get a room at the 2nd or top floor) and it's totally quiet - since it's located in a tiny, little street with no traffic what so ever. The streets are really narrow and for this reason no cars or busses can drive passed the hotel. If you travel with a tour agency they will send your luggage separately with a tiny little truck and you have to walk for 3 min to reach the hotel from the transfer-sight. But that's really not a problem as long as you don't have any walking-disabilities. If you're handicapped I would probably choose to stay at another hotel, since Remezzo has a lot of stairs and no elevator. Doryssa Bay could be an alternative, since the transfer buss can drive all the way up to the hotel and leave you off at the reception-area.

Even if Remezzo doesn't offer any pool area or mini-bar - the location of the hotel, the cleanness and the beautiful view make up for it all. Vangelis and his wife will do everything they can to make your stay as perfect as possible.

If you ever get the chance to go to Samos I would also recommend that you rent a car (Aramis is a great choice) and stop by the open-air movie theatre up in the mountains in Mitilini, some of the restaurants in Kokarii, the waterfall in Potami and last but no least stop in Ireon for an icecream or a drink at Rainbow Café and bar. Manolis, the owner, makes the most fantastic icecreams on the island!

Have fun at Samos!!!
