Overall Ratings & Reviews Bastione Malvasia Hotel

Fantastic location and the view of the ocean from our room. Breakfast was super good, the best one during our trip in Greece. The property is not new and there was some smell of old wood in the room. I hoped to use the fireplace as it was cold outside but they didn’t have wood, so it was disappointing.

Monemvasia is an amazing place to visit. Felt like we were living in a medieval castle. The room was comfortable with a nice balcony. Great breakfast. Friendly staff. Definitely a highlight of our trip.

Wonderful Hotel, it was such a cool place to stay and walk around and explore history so close. The hike up the mountain was an adventure and worth the views. Definitely a must when visiting Greece.

We hired the family room that sleeps 5. Good bathroom and comfortable living area. The kids loved living within the walls of the Castro which was an amazing experience. The views are breathtaking. The staff were super friendly and accommodating and looked after us well. Highly recommend.

This is a very nice hotel with lots of character right in the fortified town. However, if you have any mobility problems the hotel’s location and rooms may be a challenge. Lots of uneven walking and stairs and our room had some steep stairs in it and was a little difficult to get around in. Parking is on the road and you’ll have to walk about 300 metres to get to the hotel inside the old town.

Unique property that has incorporated natural environment into decor. Breathtaking views.

Monemvasia is really an interesting, beautiful location. Be aware that this is not convenient - there's a long walk into any hotel there and lots of stairs. Liked: • Beautiful location • Nice helpful staff • Wonderful view from balcony which was nice and large • Great shower (wasn’t one of those stupid hand held) • Mattress fine • Roomy room • Updated • Great breakfast Would have been nice to have hot water/coffee in the room

Fantastic buffet breakfast with fresh squeezed orange juice

We loved our stay here. It really is like staying in a castle. Definitely go for the view rooms if one is available. The breakfast was plentiful and full of choices unique to Greece. Plan to have a drink at the bar. Don’t stay here if you have difficulty with climbing. Lots of steep stone stairs.

Loved it. Would absolutely stay again.

Breathtaking views Amazing stone work Unique experience

Posto meraviglioso

It’s a pretty nice place, and the breakfast is not bad. Most of the staff are friendly and responsive. But the guy at the front desk when we checked out was unpleasant.

Good location and breakfast.

We loved our time there, even though we had bad coughs and colds the whole time! We had finished a 2-week trip with friends in Turkey and Greece, and this was our special "couple time" to celebrate a big anniversary - but we had gotten sick the week before. Still, Jimmy and the staff at the hotel did a WONDERFUL job providing and caring for us, and it was such a special time. I couldn't recommend a hotel higher! And if you're going to be stuck in bed, this is the place to be. :-)

It's a nice hotel but not accessible. There are many stairs to get around the hotel with no lift and the walkways inside the town consist of slippery stones and many stairs as well. The staff were friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. The WiFi didn't work most of the three days we stayed there and nobody at the hotel knew why it wouldn't work. Parking is a bit of a hassle because you can't drive to the hotel so you have to find parking along the road outside the castle walls or park in a parking lot on the other side of the bridge and it's about a 20 walk uphill unless you can find a shuttle for 2 euros per person or find a taxi which there were not many of. Expedia also provided a receipt saying my hotel was prepaid and the only money owning was 9 euros for taxes, however Expedia did not charge my card (which was originally quoted in CAD) so I had to pay the hotel in Euros so the cost ended up being quite a bit more since it wasn't at the originally exchange rate that I had booked at. Apparently the hotel is aware of this problem and it happens to all their bookings with Expedia so I want overly impressed that it's a known issue that they aren't working to correct. Overall it was a nice stay even though there were a few hiccups.

Clean rooms, great rich buffet breakfast, polite stuff! Special thanks to the ladies at the breakfast, very friendly and everything they prepared was very nice! thank you

Jimmy at the front was very friend as was Dousa (sp?) who made a wonderful breakfast wvery morning. The gentleman in the snack/coffee bar also makes wonderful smoothies. The views from the hotel are incredible. Staying inside the castle walls is definitely memorable -I will be back.

Beautiful location and amazing breakfast. Staff were excellent and attentive. Rooms could be configured a better to allow for twin and double option for the outside room.

Magical! Stay in the castle. It is an experience like no other. Great breakfast with eggs, sausage, yogurt and baked treats. Everyone was so cheerful and helpful. Only downside was the parking. Even off season, it was quite a distance and you carry your luggage over cobblestones inside castle. There re numerous steps to navigate BUT. We’ll worth the effort.
