We loved the location of Despina's Rooms in the warren of laneways of the historic Kastro area. It is an historic family home offering excllent views of the harbour and temple of Apollo. As charming as these alleyways are they make it difficult to find Despina's rooms initially. Just keeping asking. Within this labyrinth there are a number of very pleasant little restaurants nearby. The rooms are comfortable although I found the beds somewhat small. Despina herself is very affable. I have no hestitation in recommending this budget accommodation.

Lovely place to stay. I'd actually avoid one of the very top rooms as you don't have your own bathroom and everyone else can use the roof terrace in front of you. Get one of the lower rooms - you can still use the roof terrace. The free wireless was intermittent but a useful bonus and the shared kitchen has lots of basic provisions (salt, pepper, tea) left by others. We paid £30 a night - bargain !

extremely well located in a quiet and central part of the old town, despina has several rooms at different prices. our room had no window, but was very comfortable. the three budget rooms on the top are awesome as the view is fantastic ! (others can go on the terrasse too)

Despina's Rooms was one of the highilghts of my trip to Greece. From the moment she welcomed me with her smile, and remembered my name, i knew I had chosen the right place - and I hadn't even seen the sensational views from the rooftop at that stage! I was shown a selection of rooms, but chose the rooftop ones, even though they are smaller and have a shared bathroom - simply for the view. And Naxos is not the kind of place where you spend all your time in your room anyway. The location was perfect, so close to the port and bus station, but right in the middle of the old town which is the most characteristic place. Should have learnt the Greek words for "can you adopt me".
