What guests think

At Ardamis, reviewers highlight a unique stay inside Monemvasia’s castle, with characterful, often spacious rooms and sea views, a welcoming host and staff, and a convenient position near the gate in a quiet, atmospheric setting.

Cleanliness is praised, and many describe the suites as cozy, well appointed, and full of historic charm. Common caveats include numerous steep steps, multi level layouts, parking outside the walls with no car access, and occasional drawbacks like small bathrooms, a worn mattress, or limited air conditioning coverage.

This property was so unique. The host was very responsive and took really good care of us. Luggage has to be portered in and they came right away and upon check out they were very fast. The room was comfortable and in a beautiful location.

Incredibly charming hotel! When I arrived the lady at the front desk explained that only 2 out of 3 rooms I’d booked were ready, but she very quickly chatted with one of the cleaning ladies and got it ready within 5 minutes. Very seamless check in, and the rooms are soooo cool! They are all very different from one another each with their own charm. The rooms have small kitchenettes with a few beverages for guests. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking to visit Monemvasia. It is also quite close to the front gate so it is ideal for those who don’t want to walk too far to find their hotel.

Our room was large and comfortable, with 3 levels: one for the bedroom, one for the living area, and one for the bathroom. (This is a hilly area and the buildings are original, so the multi-levels are to be expected.) There was a small kitchenette with a refrigerator, sink, and kettle. We had our own seating area outside our room but did not use it. Instead, we enjoyed the terrace with a view of the water.

The suites at Ardamis were a perfect fit for us. We occupied two suites (two couples) and in addition to the generous space and character of the private spaces, there was a shared courtyard, shaded by a huge and gorgeous bougainvillea tree with a table and chairs perfect for enjoying a glass of wine and a snack together. A terrific spot in the heart of Monemvasia. Highly recommended.

Absolutely magical town and adorable accommodations, but you may want to avoid if you have any elders in your traveling party. There are many steep, uneven, and slanted steps within the castle and down to the Ardamis hotel. I did not realize when I booked that the rooms would be multi-level, with bathrooms and beds separated by several stairs or up/down a whole flight. Definitely not ideal for the 90-year old man we had traveling with us! The host was SO kind though, letting us view all the available rooms to find the one that would work best for us. She really bent over backwards to help us, and I would stay there again (next time without my elderly father-in-law). The rooms were very well appointed and comfortable. It felt like sleeping in a luxurious castle! I wish we had spent a 3rd night; only 1 full day in Monemvasia was not enough. The hike to the top was spectacular, and you have to stop at the wine, honey, and olive oil shop for tastings (and to bring home tasty souvenirs)!

My husband was here four years ago on a solo trip and was determined to make sure I returned to experience Monemvasia and this hotel in particular. It is the perfect location -close to the main entrance so you don’t have to carry luggage too far. Our hostess was so kind, with advice on where to eat and things to do. Such a delightful village. The bed was very comfortable – there is a small refrigerator. There’s a courtyard to sit in as well as a little back patio, depending on which room you get. The shower is small, so ladies washing your hair can be a little tricky, but I made it work. Get up with the sunrise] and hike up to the ruins early before the crowds/heat and catch the pretty light.

The location is excellent - right on the edge of a small green space next to the fortress wall, overlooking the sea. We only wish we could have spent more time in there to enjoy our room!

Vale decisamente la pena prenotare una struttura all'interno del kastro di Monemvassia. Ho prenotato una stanza economica che non aveva balcone privato, ma la posizione è ottima e lo spazio interno con zona letto e soggiorno molto comodo. La signora Despina è un'ottima padrona di casa, accogliente, sempre presente e disponibile.

Resepsjonisten som tok imot oss kunne ikke engelsk. Vi hadde bestilt et dobbeltrom, men resepsjonisten ville absolutt at vi skulle ha noe annet, en "suite". Pga språket ga vi opp diskusjonen. "Suiten" var ulidelig varm, kun soverommet var det mulig å være i. Det var kun der det var AC. 2 fryktelige døgn i en ellers nydelig by.

If you have not gone to Monemvasia before, choosing Ardamis as your lodging is a WONDERFUL option. We were extremely comfortable as a family of four; the parents had their own room across the facility from the kids. The location is central with everything in short walking distance. The staff are kind and inviting and they even included mutliple water bottles and cans of Coca-Cola to welcome us. And, of course, Monemvasia itself is a once-in-a-lifetime destination... watching the sunset from the cobblestone streets or from the cool ruins atop the island are memories we will never forget. We loved our stay and would gladly go again. Thank you!
