Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Zappion Hotel enjoys a convenient location, within walking distance of key attractions and close to a lively neighborhood with diverse dining options around Platia Proskopon and Platia Varnava. Guests appreciate the rooms equipped with air conditioning, good internet connection, and mini fridge, and find the 24/7 reception helpful. While the hotel is considered by some to be a bit older, many return for its great value, quiet rooms (especially on the top floor), and proximity to places like the Basil & Elise Foundation and a stunning church. You can also quickly reach Rigillis bus stop, which has direct access from the airport.
