Top Kissamos Hotel Reviews

Sunny Bay Hotel

Sunny Bay Hotel

8/10 Good
"The room and grounds are very clean. The bed was very comfortable. The hotel is still undergoing renovation regarding lighting so our room was all or nothing with lights. It was a little noisy in the morning as there is not much materials to absorb sound but not really a big deal. The person at the front desk was amazing. So helpful in booking a tour for us and also providing recommendation on things to see. The beach is a touch rocky in front the hotel area, but we were still able to get in without water shoes. It seems like the area is more up and coming than established, but only a 10-15 minute walk to the pier where the restaurants are."
