Hotel Manos

We thoroughly enjoyed our 10-night stay at Hotel Manos. The property is lovely, and very near the center of Naousa, just a 10-minute walk. It is designed like a miniature Greek village, with all the romantic nooks and crannies. There is plenty of street parking, and there are pharmacies and food markets within walking distance. The areas is very safe, like all of Naousa. The hotel is VERY clean and in very good repair. Our room had a mini-fridge, ample closets, a very spacious shower, great water pressure, and plenty of hot water. Furniture was in good shape, and the bed was very comfortable. Our air conditioner was not always successful in keeping the room comfortable in the heat of the day, but mornings and nighttime were fine. We did not have breakfast at the hotel but breakfast is available for an additional cost. The staff and owners are professional and friendly. We would definitely stay again - and probably will on our next trip to Paros. Something to know: if you reserve with a credit card, please note that the credit card is only to hold the room. You will need to contact the hotel to arrange for your payment. We paid in euros when we checked in, the amount confirmed with the hotel. I ordered the euros from my bank so I would have the exact amount needed when we arrived at the hotel. Easy. I would reserve the room directly with the hotel, not through a site like Orbitz. This is a family-owned/operated hotel, so best to communicate with the hotel directly.

Clean, tidy, lovely pool area and host was very friendly and helpful. Huge bedroom. Mattress very firm. Perfect location for exploring the Naousa area. 5mins walk to the main harbour with plenty of restaurants, bars and shops to explore. Loved the area very much. Lots of idyllic streets to meander around. Breakfast included. Simple continental but perfectly adequate. Beach in Naousa seemed lovely and fairly quiet. Car hire on the doorstep. Visit to Lektkes in the mountains a must. Only 20mins or so drive.

Stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in September. Firstly, we were told we were only booked for 3, showed them the paperwork and then were asked if one couple minded moving rooms for the final night. We are very easygoing and weren’t fully unpacking anyway as we had been island hopping so only there for a short period of time, so we didn’t mind moving rooms for the final night. They did not once mention that we would be moved into the hotel next door that was actually 2 star. This hotel was not what we paid for (the people there were actually a lot more helpful). We were literally just given a new key and handed over to them, with no apologies and no information. We approached the owners at manos to say we were not happy but were shrugged off and told it was the responsibility of the company that we booked for when it clearly wasn’t. We were told we had to move because another party of cyclists were coming in that had to be kept together, clearly it didn’t matter that we all wanted to be kept together. The pool was slimy and green, when asked about it they said it was due to recent rainfall, but no attempt was made to clean it. Rooms ok, shower room very tired, awful shower curtains. Breakfast wasn’t great, cold tea and coffee in pots, stale bread and cake. Croissants were hidden under a towel on the bar instead of being with the rest of the spread. We went somewhere else on our final day and paid for breakfast. We wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone, not very trustworthy people at all.
