We loved this hotel! It is in a fabulous location, right above the bus terminal, and a 5 minute walk from the Main Street. Hotel Ariston has a fabulous sea view. The hotel was spotless. All the staff were so friendly and helpful, always cheerful. Breakfast was amazing.. and plentiful. We loved the music in the evening . We enjoyed a few of evenings in the bar with Giuseppe the bar manager (his 39th year in Hotel Ariston! ) and Giovanni the hotel singer/pianist - he was fantastic!! Giovanni and Giuseppe sang a few duets together… just wonderful ! We will be back!

The property is nice once you find it and then traverse up the very steep hill to get there. Not great for older people that are unable to climb hills. The staff were very young and seamed to be in training. Parking is very expensive and around the corner down the steep hill. The room was okay, but the last room on the top floor for Expedia bookings! (See picture). Overall, we stayed in 8 hotels on our tour of Europe and this one was just average.
