“Good value hotel in a good location . Breakfast could be be improved . Staff were charming and helpful.”
+Great location , close to the port area . Staff on reception were charming and friendly.
−Breakfast was poor , the breakfast room needed to be improved , easier access to breakfast area . We happened to be staying at the same time as a large group which made the breakfast experience difficult .

“We would book this property again. Everyone was super friendly and the room was cozy”
+We had a room which was the only one on that floor and a long stretched balcony which gave us lots of space and freedom to sit and chat in the evening. The room was nicely designed and the hosts have been incredibly friendly. Super close to the mini city, but you need to be up for some stairs
−The shower is a bit small and it was a little fight with the shower curtain (like always with shower curtains tbh)

+Location above the port. Not so easy to drive to it. The staff was very kind. The building is divided into a lower ( older) and a higher (newer) one , but there are elevators. Rooms are rather simple bit fine - and the view is excellent. Relatively high priced for the room standard.

“Good location, but turn down the oven!”
+Staff was generally nice, and the location was wonderfully convenient to the Port.
−We arrived late afternoon, Our room had a great view, but was western facing. Upon arrival, it was 33 degrees Celsius in the room. The desk agent said the only way to cool it off was to leave the key in the slot, as the A/C doesn't function with out it. We asked if we could borrow an extra key to cool the room off at least a bit while at dinner. We were told "no." It was OPPRESSIVELY hot and once we arrived back, the A/C functioned at only a low level. It took many hours to cool the room down, resulting in difficulty getting to sleep. This should have been such an easy fix. The property knew our anticipated arrival time and could easily have made the room reasonably comfortable in advance. I was surprised, as Kastro gets mostly very good reviews on this site, and I respect the nice follow-up notes they post to these reviews. But an an excessively hot day, their attitude about this was lousy/indifferent. I stay in hotels >125 days each year, and especially if a property knows your anticipated arrival time, if it takes spending a Euro or two to make the room comfortable, it beats the first impression of the room being awful. Unfortunately, that was our lasting impression.

“An Ikarian gem!”
+Very friendly and helpful staff! Great variety on breakfast, with amazing view of the port. Has a small pool that you can use if you don't want to visit any beaches when the island gets too windy. Walkable distance to a nearby village, with natural thermal hot spring and multiple bars and restaurants.
−Not very soundproof rooms. Unfortunately you can hear doors and the elevator in the middle of the night if someone calls it. Also there is a bit of a slope to reach the hotel, however the staff helps you with the luggage once you are there!

“We had a nice stay at the Kastro Hotel.”
+The hotel was nice. The room was very nice, clean, great view of Agios. Convenient to the Platea.
−It was hard to find parking on the street. Or parking down in the Platea was quite a hike back up to hotel.
