We loved our stay here! It was quiet with a good pool and easily walkable into the town. The staff was amazing and even helped me get a hold of the laundry cleaners when I missed our pick up. Couldn’t recommend enough!

The room was adequate and staff was helpful. The bathroom shower was very small and every time either of us took a shower the drain in the bathroom floor backed up and flooded the bathroom floor.

Perfect location, anything you asked the staff for was never a problem. On our last day we forgot a bag in the hotel and didn’t realize until they called to let us know. We were already at port waiting to board the ferry and they arranged someone to drop off the bag to us at no charge. Couldn’t believe how lucky we were to receive this kind of service. Highly recommend!!

The staff at the counter were wonderful and very helpful, howvever the room was below American Standards with very basic shower and sink that only fits small individuals. Also the facility is out of the area with walking down the hill and back up the hill to get to any food facilities.

We had a great stay at Arkoulis, thank you to the team working here! The hotel is lovely. The property is beautiful, there were nice plants everywhere, and it has a great big pool, very clean. I haven't noticed such big pools at other hotels, actually. The location is excellent, because it is very close (7 min walk) to the bus station, from where you can easily (and cheaply) explore Paros. At the same time, it is a 15-min walk to downtown Naoussa, so it is very close, but far enough from the noise of the party-goers, which we appreciated. The walk is also welcome with all the eating we were doing: some exercise :) I would recommend this hotel for its location, cleanliness, charm (we had a little balcony where we liked to spend time early mornings and late evenings), nice pool, and helpful staff. Finally, it had the best price out of all the hotels I checked in Naoussa.

Fairly standard
The hotel felt too far out from the main part and with a suitcase on arrival this wasn't easy as had to climb a hill in the heat. Also when I arrived i got told a list of rules which I thought was a bit odd for a solo female traveller in her 40s - I felt like it was school rules and as a well travelled woman (and staying over 6 hotels during this one trip to Greece), I never experienced this before (well maybe in my 20s). The room was nice and clean and I was "upgraded" to a pool view. Nothing special but I guess I knew it wouldn't be when I booked it. It was good value for the price, and despite the 'rules' they were friendly people

Piece of heaven on Paros island
We spent a great stay in Arkoulis Hotel, all the team was sooo nice with us. The breakfast was great, the swimming pool as well and the bar with George's cocktails too !! I would like to thanks everyone for your kindness and especially Tasioss (sorry if I misspelled it my friend!) For your kindness and all your information about your beautiful island ! We would definitely come back here if we come back to Paros again one day. I strongly recommend!

Nice pool, good cocktails! We didn’t take breakfast but across the hotel was a very nice coffee bakery and a supermarket. Scooter rental is a few minutes away. Restaurant Marmitta was also a few minutes walk, just outside the centre, very nice food .
