We are a group of Norwegians, single and couples, who have stayed at Despina's rooms in June or July for years and years. The location inside the Medieval town makes it cool, quiet and safe, and free of mosquitoes! The host family of three generations is also very nice and helpful, and the open roof is a splendid place to see the sunset and get into the right mood for supper.

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)
