Balcony Boutique Hotel

The hotel is nice, the rooms clean, tidy and comfortable. The view from the balcony was superb. The staff could not do enough for us, very helpful recommending places to go to visit and to eat. Breakfast comprehensive, fresh and a good choice (yoghurt and honey is always a winner). Beach towels provided clean everyday, we used a nearby beach which we happily paid for sunbeds, as there was waiter service, and you could guarantee you could keep it all day, without issue. The area is beautiful we did a boat trip and another day hired a quad bike, which enabled us to travel around the island. The hotel is up a hill, and a 20 min walk into town, we are active and enjoyed this, but it may not be for everyone. There is no pool, nor sunbeds at the hotel, but, we knew this and it was not a problem for us. One lovely point, is it is a child free hotel, so no screaming beasts ruining your breakfast. Will definitely return to the island, its is beautiful, and wouldn't hesitate to stay at the Balcony Hotel again. If a pool, nightlife and you can't walk up hills, stay somewhere else rather than leave a negative review about no pool, hilly etc, the Hotel certainly does not deserve that

Loved my stay here - The staff here were amazing, so friendly and couldn't do enough for you. The room was great with amazing views over the bay, good air conditioning and lovely balcony. Breakfast was fab, huge selection and again great views from the breakfast area. Nice and relaxed part of town, close to the beaches and some great restaurants there were off the main strip so a bit more relaxed. Would recommend here for the staff and location only, but everything together made this an A++++ stay Can't wait to go back

I almost hate to write this glowing review since it will mean in the future, more people will take advantage of this absolutely perfect hotel on Zakinthos which will mean less access for people like me. However, having stayed in many hotels over the years, most middle range, some a bit expensive, the Balcony Hotel, in my opinion is as perfect as it gets. Perched high on a cliff overlooking the beautiful Ionian Sea with a magnificent view down below, it was a little slice of heaven. Spotlessly clean, sumptuous included breakfasts with something for every taste (they even made special entrees for my vegan niece), extremely comfortable beds and well appointed rooms, gracious and ever helpful and knowledgeable and accessible staff, this place was well thought out in every possible way to provide the best experience a weary traveler can have. If it were up to me, I would have spent my entire time in Greece staying there. I simply cannot think of one thing I would improve on. And if you’re smart, you will come to depend on the staff as we did to help you find good restaurants, water adventures, shuttle options, and sightseeing tips for everything Zakinthos which is now probably my favorite Greek Island. Snorkeling at the Blue Cave at Kerri was the highlight for me after the magical wedding of my niece Katie at a small exquisite Greek Orthodox Church where the locals clapped as we left the church, followed by the reception at the Balcony Hotel which matched the service in every way. Five stars for me for the Balcony Hotel in Tsilivi and their staff. To believe this review, you only have to experience it, and lucky you if you do.

Perfect place to stay in Zakynthos. Nice area, nice views, nice staff, really good price/value. Room is cleaned every day properly, there are wide choices of food for breakfast, and also the dinner was great when we tried one time. AC works properly in the room, desired temperature can be achieved within minutes. Hotel is on a hilltop, therefore own car is recommended, otherwise you would need to climb it every time, which can be exhausting but rather dangerous, as there is no pavement on the road. Free parking space is provided, and the lot is spacious enough, we always found an empty spot.

DO NOT GO TO THIS HOTEL. MOST DISGUSTING AND UNHYGIENIC EXPERIENCE IVE HAD. Have been on many budget holidays and have never had such a poor experience starting off with hygiene. Dead and alive flies were found on all surfaces including areas where toothbrushes and soap was expected to of been kept . Silver fish bigs were found crawling in my luggage and around all the floors, had to throw away clothes and wash clothing a good few times to prevent any spread when returning. Aside from bugs floor was ridiculously sticky and dirty and when cleaned for 30 seconds the water seen on the bucket was filled with dirt, completely black.floor was so bad I had to keep shoes on at all times to avoid touching the floors. As of hygiene could not have been any worst, old blood was found on my 1 and shallow pillow. Bed sheets were asleep thin and dirty, resorted to using a sarong to keep myself warm at night.HOTEL IS IN NEED OF INSPECTION as a complete BIO HAZARD even after moving room a number of times. As if I could not have been worst new towels were given to us in the morning ti which vomit was found covered within them. Moving on to practicality. Door would not unlock properly, spent15 minutiae on each occasion trying to open doors with an old lock. Had to repeat to walking down to reception on most occasions to get doors open. Curtains were ripped and mirrors were disgusting. Toilet would also not flush on most occasions had to consistently have staff up to fix their disgusting and broken toilets. Location is okay but down dark ally’s to get to. Does not seem safe at night especially when drinking, would recommend staying at any of the other 100s of locations in the similar areas which would be almost satisfactory. Staff were completely rude. Not accommodations at all and did not seem interested in any of their isssues presented. Have never had such bad service. Also have to pay 50 euro deposit upon arrival to which I did not receive back until 4 weeks after leaving. This hotel is completely poor and should be shut down immediately.

Absolutely loved our stay in this hotel . It is located in the stunning location, very close to the beach and local amenities ( we walked). It has the most amazing views over the local sea front. It is very modern and well equipped ( good air con, safe deposit box, lovely functional breakfast with freshly baked cakes). Staff could not do enough - so friendly, accommodating and genuine. Simply amazing
