King Minos Hotel

Nice stay, despite the conditions of the surrounding, that is dirt roads, incomplete construction, “dirty” houses. The hotel staff is very polite, all speak English, the facilities are very clean. Only had breakfast, and it was average+.

I have already reviewed this hotel once before, in 2017, but as a family we liked it so much that we went back. And it definitely didn’t disappoint at all, so I wanted to leave another up to date review. There are two things that really ‘make’ this hotel. Firstly, the views it offers. Since the hotel is situated high up above the little town of Tolo (I reject the view of another reviewer describing it as ‘a dive’!), you get stunning views of the bay. I would definitely recommend that you book a sea view room for this reason. You will not regret it. There are a few hotels situated right on the beach in Tolo, which is also a great location, but in my opinion the higher situation of the King Minos is a better location because of the exceptional views. Secondly, the pool area. I love the music that plays all day, and the bar / restaurant area staff are lovely. It’s a great area to relax, swim and sunbathe. If you sit at one of the tables on the far side of the pool, you can also enjoy the views some more too. The rooms are comfortable and modern, with all the expected facilities and conveniences. The lobby area is also very spacious and has lots of armchairs and sofas to sit on if you wish. There’s also a gym if you like to work out and lots of parking spaces. For me, the only ever so light downside is the food. It’s perfectly fine, but not delicious. However, since we booked for breakfast only each day, this was fine as we were free to eat out every evening anyway. Overall, I have to say that I really do like the King Minos, and will definitely be back again in the future.

The staff were exceptional, exceeded all our expectations. Hotel was very clean, good variety for breakfast and a very good quiet location. Clean beaches, very good local restaurants and bars. If you like “Brits on tour?” Place is not for you. Don’t usually do recommendations, but this hotel and especially the staff deserve it. We will definitely come back and visit our new friends at King Minos.

Lovely family hotel a stones throw from the harbour and a few minutes walk to the beach. The staff could not have been friendlier. They all speak excellent English. Rooms were clean. Pool lovely and plenty of sun loungers and tables to sit at. Loads of parking. We never struggled to find a space. The breakfasts were fine and catered for all tastes. Nice poolside bar. Prices reasonable. Would really recommend. Only downside is that the road down to the street is a bit steep and if you are infirm you may want to avoid that but you could easily drive down. Two minutes and plenty of places to park. Do go in the Pegasus Cruise to Hydra and Spetses which the hotel will arrange for you. Lovely family day out.

Ωραίο ξενοδοχείο με πισίνα και θέα στο Τολό από τα μπροστά μπαλκόνια. Εμείς είχαμε πίσω θέα στο δρόμο. Το πρωινό είχε ποικιλία γλυκών και αλμυρών εδεσμάτων και ο χώρος που σερβιροταν εβλεπε στην πισίνα! Μόνο ένα θέμα αντιμετωπίσαμε το βράδυ που γυρίσαμε δεν άνοιγε η πόρτα με την κάρτα και περιμέναμε 1 ώρα να έρθει ο τεχνικός να την φτιάξει στις 2 τη νύχτα. Είναι σε καλή τοποθεσία κοντά στο κέντρο με τα πόδια
