Summer Shades Hotel - ex Arkoulis

We booked a superior room and really thought that they were kidding as soon as we entered the room. They do not seem to know what a boutique hotel is. The bathroom was very old and smelled like hell. It was disgusting. Many things in the room looked awkward. The toilet paper was half used, the shower gel too, and there was no courtesy water in the minibar; instead, there were dead insects inside all over the minibar ( first time in Greece). Door did not lock well, and many things were broken. We paid around 90 euros per night only accommodation for a room that was almost a roadside hotel room. As soon as we arrived, we started searching for another hotel because staying there was not even an option. When we left, our stay in Naoussa completely changed and was perfect. The hotel is far from the center and there is no sidewalk to reach the hotel. Everyone is forced to walk on the road very close to the cars.Honestly, avoid this hotel. To us, it was a nightmare in our 15 day vacation in Greece, the only bad experience we had in our vacation. This hotel does not represent Naoussa; does not represent greek hospitality.

Stayed for five nights, well placed for short downhill walk into Naoussa and all its lovely restaurants. The pool was amazing! Room was basic but clean and functional. Staff were lovely. Would recommend this hotel if you’re looking for an economical stay.

Great value for money. Lovely swimming pool and the staff are wonderful. We had room 121 straight onto the swimming pool. Perfect. Ignore any negative reviews. There’s nothing negative about this hotel. Some one mentioned about key card for electricity for the room. What hotel doesn’t these days. Completely stupid to leave your ac on all day while the room is empty. Some folk just need to moan about nothing. Paros is nice. Definately designed for tourism. If your looking for real Greece. This isn’t the place. Harbour restaraunt prices are crazy. We found two little places where the locals eat.not far from the hotel. Half the price and authentic Greek food. Nothing historical to speak of here. Perfect for chilling out and topping up the tan.

Lovely hotel. The Check in went perfect and well explained about Naousa and helped to rent a scooter. The room is very clean and modern. Also a nice patio in front of your room. We booked it with breakfast. Although it’s not really expensive to book with breakfast it wasn’t really a nice breakfast. Not many healthy choices. And only one small toaster for many people and no fresh bowl of yoghurt. Everytime you want yoghurt you have to ask for it and receive it which is fine but unhandy. The fruit they serve was not really nice. Not tasty at all. Very chaotic breakfast. The rest of the stay was perfect and the pool area also great. Everything was good and the location as well. Only thing is the breakfast. Maybe because they just changed from owners they are still busy with improving that. But for the rest is perfect. And we slept very well.

Booked late so limited choice. Location is okay (short walk to Naousa) but you need a car to explore the island properly. Rooms are very basic but beds were comfortable. A few minor inconveniences - no iron available at the hotel, Wi-Fi didn’t reach our room, deposits required for pool towels and wine not sold by the glass at pool bar. We paid for breakfast which was appalling, even by international budget hotel standards, so ate out each morning. Friendly front of house try to paper over the cracks but the hotel requires modernisation throughout.

We have just had a beautiful stay here. The hotel staff are really lovely and do their very best to accommodate guests. The hotel is located just up the hill from Naoussa and a short walk from all of the beautiful bars, shops and restaurants. The swimming pool is absolutely fantastic, it’s the cleanest pool I have ever seen. I highly recommend this hotel!
