Fortunately we only stayed here for 3 nights in September. I am going to find it very difficult to say anything nice about the hotel, apart from some of the staff who were nice. At a cost of 110 euros per night I would have expected something a lot better. The rooms are very basic and not well furnished at all. There was little or no water in the bathroom, so washing was not easy.
The pool area was ok but very small, we were glad that we were not there during the busy period. I think that I read one review which said that the gardens were pretty and well looked after, all I can say to this is that the person who wrote this comment can't be a gardener of any note. I thought that the gardens were very scruffy and very poorly maintained. My overall view was one of great disappointment

We stayed for a week. The disappointment was immediate. We chose Petrino Suites beacause on the website it looks very peacful and in a tranquil setting. Firstly, it is situated on a main road with busy traffic! Yes there is a garden and they have attempted to diffuse the noise but it doesn't work! The rooms are very basic for the money and houskeeping very poor (we have stayed in Greece many times ). Not sure where to start - but basically nothing was up to standard in the room - we even had to ask for somewhere to hang our towels after swimming - towels which for the entire week they did not change once! The food was the best thing - breakfast was done nicely even though you had to listen to a continual hum of traffic and we ate in the restaurant a couple of times which was also quite good - even though they only ever seemed to have a couple of the items available at any one time. Their other hotel the newly opened "White Suites" had a good setting overlooking a lovely beach - however, on the couple of occasions we went there we did not feel well looked after at all - very expensive for what it was - just felt like they were constantly grabbing at our money!

Nice hotel but a bit expensive for what it offers. We stayed in a room with a private pool. Ok, probably the most expensive room of the hotel but still the bathroom was full of killed mosquitos in the walls. The rooms are pretty dark, we could not see well, always had to have the lights turned on. During the night the outside garden was totally dark. No lamps. Could not get outside. A lot of mosquitos everywhere.
On the other hand the stuff was pretty friendly. The food was ok and in reasonable prices. Rooms service was also good.The private pool too small but the gardens very beautiful. But I think with these money you can find something better in Chalkidiki.
You use the car in order to go to the village or the beach.

Mum and Dad in 40's and 17 yr old daughter make up the travel party. First impressions were disappointing, albeit, that we arrived after midnight, so not seeing it at it's best, and we were pipped. Next morning all the staff were really friendly and pleasant - the breakfast was fine, a reasonable choice of hot (nay-luke warm) and cold - the friut, Greek yoghurt and honey was a real treat.

We thought we'd booked a Deluxe Family suite, and paid an extra Eu200's for an upgrade for an already expensive week, from the Family suite, so that daughter and the rents could have their own space - the rooms are all the same we were told- one room studios with a separate bathroom - so teenage daughter on sofa bed downstairs,effectively in same room as Dad and Mum on the mezzanine floor above. No privacy so be aware. We did ask Helen, the hotel manager, for a change, and she was really helpful, and relocated us in an upgraded room at no extra cost. We ended up with our own rooms, and a private garden with its own private plunge pool- great for when the main pool sun beds had been towelled out by breakfast (which to be fair was not every day), but if you think you're booking something really special, you're not, the photos on the website are well done - it's just a nice hotel (really hate that word nice, but it's not bad, but not something special either).

A fridge in the room was very welcome, but that's it - no other facilities. The plumbing was typically Greek - heated towel rail not properly attached to the wall, and the finish to the pipework would fail a GCSE, but hey-ho, it kind of worked, and hot water came out of the hot tap most of the time.

Typical standards of cleaning apply - the towels and linen were kept clean which is to be expected, but the number of squashed mozzies on the bathroom walls that had not been cleaned off, were the only real signs of a less than thorough job being done, but in fairness, other reports of dirty apartments didn't really apply for us, although if you wanted to find a cob web or ywo, you always can. (nit picking a bit, so in my experience, not something to put you off really)
The walk into the village (and back which always seems longer) was not too bad - about a mile or so, and took 15 or so minutes, but it was worth it.
The village of Afitos and the beaches are excellent. No footy shirts at all, and more upmarket than alot of otherwise touristy type resorts. Tavernas on the beach were very Greek, and evening meals over looking the bay where dolphins were breaking the waves was a treat. The food in town was so much better than previous experiences,so a thumbs up there too.

Overall, we would recommend Afitos to friends. From a value for money perspective, Petrinos Hotel is over priced, but I would still recommend it as a place to stay if you don't mind the walk into the village, and don't expect 5 star (probably a good 3 stars). Friendly & helpful staff do make a difference.

Hope this is a balanced review, and you do decide to visit Afitos, and stay at Petrino.
