Amymone Suites in Nafplio

We were allocated an attic room. We asked for a normal room but they were fully booked. The attic room is up 3 flights of steep narrow stairs that would not pass code in most countries. If you are over 5 foot tall you must crouch to access anywhere but the centre of the room. My head still has marks. The hotel and room are decorated in shabby chic which might have been ok 10 years ago but now looks very grungey. An old mattress on the floor instead of a couch.

Do note that the best room (suite with a balcony + bourtzi castle and sea view) comes with two unexpected surprises: (1) a smell of a sewage which surrounds the whole room; and (2) a refusal to a refund arising from a cheaper price of the alternative room allocated ... If this fit your expectation - go ahead and book the room. Yes, I am aware to the high rating of the hotel. This is why I choosed it. But as I have experienced it, the high rating does injustice with potential guests. They might fall into a trap and find themselves in a smelly room. It should be noted that there was a consent about the sewage smell in the room. They tried to explain that the smell is: (1) because of the air-condition; on the next day - (2) as the hotel is in the middle of the old town near the port... (The recording of the conversation is with me, so beaware of a false response...) quite a poor explanation, to say the least. Never have I read any comment about any hotel in the old part of Nafpilio suffering from a sewage smell. Due to the undisputed sewage smeel, they agreed to allocate me another room, some 25% cheaper and with no smell. However, despite of the 45€ per night difference (90€ for 2 nights), the manager, Dimitra, agreed to refund me only 10€ per night... This is manifestly unscrupulous. Read, take the above into your considerations and decide if all this unpleasentness suits you while having a vacation.
