“Genuine greek hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I have stayed here every summer for a decade and will not consider staying anywere else when visiting Naxos. If you like staying in the midst of greek village life and appreciate real hospitality this is the place to stay. It is great to be in the midst of everything and wander through the alleys early morning or late at night. Rooms are very simple, with fridge and tiny bathrooms, but spotlessly clean and with a geuine greek feel. Nina and Despina will show you genuine greek hospitality and other guest are more often than not people who keep coming back.

“Fantastic location and value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2011

people found this review helpful

We stayed in one of the bedrooms on the roof. Fantastic views over Naxos and only a quick walk down to the harbour. Lovely owners help make this an ideal place to stay in Naxos.

Room Tip: Roof rooms are the best value.

“We return every summer”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 June 2011

person found this review helpful

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.

“Great location in the historic Kastro area.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2010

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.

“Great location, good value.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2010

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 !
