10/10 Excellent
"The Margi Hotel is in prime location close to Astir Beach and the marina. The hotel is clean and well maintained albeit the double room is on the smaller side. Apparently we got an upgrade to a double room. Interestingly that is exactly what I booked so unclear where the upgrade was. Breakfast was great for boutique hotel, definitely get the orange juice and the margi farm grown tomatoes and eggplants. When we arrived, we were instantly greeted and assisted by the doormen who consistently greets us each time we see them. They definitely made us feel welcomed. Our luggages were quickly and efficiently delivered to our room within minutes of our arrival Front desk staff were somewhat stand off ish. Thought it’s their job to make guests feel welcomed? Hmmm. Not a deal breaker at all just comparing to our other stays on the trip at lesser hotels Ultimately, we enjoyed our stay there for its location and planned our days around the area. So would definitely return one day"

Breakfast crew, loved seeing them and getting to know them, made us feel right at home! If you have a chance to go on the private south Poseidon tour with Stratos, it is a must do. Yes, the tour is wonderful seeing many non-tourist spots, but hanging out with Stratos was the best - terrific sense of humor and wonderful guide. Until we see you again - we will be back!"
