Bad weather in Athens Airport (30 mins drive from this hotel) caused our flight to Milos to be cancelled. Olympic put us up in this 'lovely 5 star' hotel. When we first arrived we were impressed: lovely building, great views, fantastic reception area with friendly receptionist. Then we went to our room. Just about clean, no hotel information provided and... more

We had a studio: living area downstairs and bedroom& bathroom uptairs. The bathroom needs renovation. Overall the furniture need an upgrade. The food is buffet style and is actually just fair served in a restaurant that looks like a school cafeteria. The music & entertainment was very loud and kept us from sleeping early. It's far from Athens if you... more

a very calm and relaxing location but far from entertainment areas more

My wife and I traveled all the way from Hawaii to Athens with the final destination to Skiathos island. When we finally arrived to the Athens airport we were told our Olympic Airline flight , which was the only airlines that flies to Skiathos, was cancelled due to reorganization. After the initial shock we were ushered away to Mare Nostrum... more

Just 2 good things about this place: mainly the singer, plus the view from the bar in the evening. Singer is really great! Food forget about it! Cheapest possible hotel stuff, to fill a stomach at least expense! Wine, undrinkable! Service at restaurant, dreadful! Asked for a carafe of water and never got any! Waiters interested only in charging extra... more

Stayed overnight after having to find a last minute stopover due to Traffic Control strike in October. Marketed as being close to the airport. Well, the taxi drivers at the airport certainly don't know that! They didn't actually know of the hotel and we drove for nearly 40 minutes at 10pm at night until we finally found the hotel. If... more

My double room was small and the furnishings were old. No carpet on the floor, only linoleum. There is only one buffet restaurant, which has the atmosphere of a school canteen. The reception staff were mostly unhelpful (with one notable exception). The hotel is very noisy with music blasting all day from speaker around the pool. The Spa facilities are... more

Complained vigorously for 2 hours manager offered an upgade into hotel at an extra cost of 100 euros a night, then offered another chalet split level but this was... more

Absolutely avoid staying in Mare Nostrum Thalasso Hotel, if you want to return safe and sound at home! I stayed there last week for one night, as I have been planning since long time to enjoy its spa facility. Disappointment No. 1: Total absence of professionalism, good manners, training in the staff. They were even making ironic annotations on the... more
