Rigas Pension Nafplio

The room was okay, traditional in style, but the bathroom lighting was inadequate, and the TV was tiny. The bed was partially broken, and the water in the pitcher tasted too sweet. However, the location was excellent. You have to park far away!

Beautiful old house in a quieter part of the old town, only minutes walk from the harbour, squares, shops, bars and many restaurants. You have to be realistic about your expectations. If you are looking for modern facilities, bland decor and high tech gadgets. This is not the place for you. It oozes old world charm, hospitality is beyond belief. Shower pressure is fantastic, WIFI in the room. I don’t feel I need anything else. Park at the port, pack a rucksack (include eye mask and earplugs as yes it’s an old building and you can hear your neighbours) and go and enjoy!!! So many thanks to Lena, Nora and the rest of the team. They gave us so much advice about what to do locally. We felt so looked after and will be sad to leave in the morning 🥲 We would stay again if ever back in lovely Nafplio Jo and Lizzie

Pros: Conveniently located in old town. On a relatively less busy street. Located on a flat street that I could carry the suitcases to the main road easily to get in a car. Fantastic manager. (All stars went to Lina). Great breakfast. Charming old house. Water pressure was fantastic. Cons: It was a VERY old house, keeping the old world charm, but not with good quality amenities. It had Wifi and air conditioning. That's about it. Sound carried through rooms and floors very clearly. Even just walking and flushing from the floor above sounded like it was happening in my room. Furnitures were old and too big for the room. The metal bed frame was squeaky. The bed footboard made the bed too short for taller people. The old wood window shutters were pretty, but couldn't close tightly nor staying open. So, don't expect complete black out in the morning. Stairs only. Be prepared to carry luggages up stairs. I have stayed at some well restored old buildings. This is not one of them unfortunately. It's a beautiful old house to look at and have breakfast, but don't expect a comfortable stay, particularly for those staying longer. If you like old world charm, want the experience and don't mind lacking modern day comfort, go for it. Bring sleeping eye mask and ear plug.
