Property in general was ok but not renovated fully. Cleanliness was not sufficient. The room was not dirty but not clean either. They have a convenient parking next to the property and a beach is located only in a few steps

A hotel worth much more than two stars I would rate it at least three if not four stars
The staff is lovely, Shontei, Hargiro, Nina, (I hope I wrote the names correctly) take care of you as a guest so that you will simply have a good time. The rooms are very clean and spacious, the hotel staff is quick to fix any problem. The view from the quiet private balcony is stunning in its beauty, the proximity to the most beautiful beach in the area, a 2-minute walk away, is worth it all. Coffee is free throughout the day and night, and even a basket of fresh fruit is available for her, if you are craving sweet fruit. The breakfast buffet is rich and luxurious. It's worth it to celebrate my birthday at Iris beach hotel. All was good.

We appreciated a very good breakfast! In general, it was a good stay, as expected.

One of my favourite and definitely the best-valued hotel in my month-long trip through Peloponnese.

The owner (and rest of staff) is extremely kind and flexible. The room was spotless, new-feeling, matching interior design, with a little balcony, 'mosquito net sliding door' that also repels sunlight, and a very efficient (and quiet!) AC. Filtered water refilled daily (if asked), so loving the more sustainable approach. Cute little community "living room" with various books in the lobby area.

1-minute walk to lovely beach (I always climbed over the small hill and had the entire next cove to myself); beautiful water to swim in with a great view of Monemvasia. Also, walking distance to my favourite Taverna all trip (O Takis) :))

Had a great four days to explore both Monemvasia and the surrounding peninsula.

Will definitely be back when in the area! Felt right at home :)

Great place ! The team in charge of the hotel is fantastic, very efficient and friendly at the same time. Access to Ambelakya beach is very easy, and the view of the Monemvasia castro is beautiful. Also great breakfast, enjoyed by all, children and adults as well

Very basic hotel, but good service, polite owners.
Expensive for its price, in my opinion not worth more than 50€/night. The rooms are small and outdated the paint from the furniture is deteriorating, and I also found ants in the bathroom.
The breakfast is way too basic, it could be so much better: cheese and ham slices are like plastic ....put more local cheese and ham products on your small buffet, put pies for example, local jams, fresh bread...
Disappointed. For 6 more euros per night you can stay at a resort by the beach an hour away from there. Check it out!

Autumn Holiday October 2023
The welcome was delightful.Dimitris the owner was most helpful before our stay & answered all our questions. Room was cleaned daily, towels changed every other day same with bed linen. Breakfast buffet had variety& food was always fresh. Freshly squeezed orange juice was delicious. This was our 2nd stay of 2 weeks & we hope to return. View from breakfast terrace of Monemvasia was superb & amazing to enjoy it in perfect weather.
13.08.2023 Guest
Great comfort & cleaning services, as well as truly friendly staff. Convenient location very close to Monemvasia castle and above a sandy beach, called Ambelakia Beach. Nice view of the rock and free parking spot available.
06.08.2023 Guest
Ideal place to chill out, just seconds away from the beautiful Ampelakia beach. Staff is super helpful and friendly. You are the best! Quality restaurants also nearby. Monemvasia castle is 5 minutes away by car so you can visit there anytime. We had a great time! Very recommended.
24.04.2023 Guest
Very elegant hotel located 5 minutes by car from Monemvasia. Cleanliness, location overlooking Monemvasia, excellent beach 50 meters away. Very attentive hosts. Very tasty breakfast served on a terrace with a special view.
