A well run hotel, the staff are very friendly with good communication. I needed help getting a taxi when I arrived in Aegina and they arranged one for me within 5 minutes. The hotel is very clean and I loved the pool. The breakfast is nice as well. I can recommend this hotel and hope to come back.

High highs and low lows
This is a hard review to write because there was substantial advantages and good points but also some concerns. I’ll start with the good points. Nice breakfast with a variety of protein (eggs, sausage, yougurt) and carbs (pastries, fresh bread, etc.). Great location as it is close to many sights (Temple of Aphaia, beaches) but still only a 15- minute drive from Aegina town. Pool is beautiful. Staff very friendly and helpful. But unfortunately not everything was perfect. We had to switch rooms after two nights because the A/C wasn’t working. Those nights were very hot. And it took quite a bit of convincing to get the rather crusty owner to acknowledge the problem. (We even went to a hardware store and bought a thermometer!) In the second room (which was very large and cool), the bed wasn’t great. And lastly, the wifi sucked. We always used data. Driving around, the hotel stock in Aegina seems rather poor (compared to what I’m used to), so this might actually have been one of the nicest places.

Excellent hotel
The hotel was lovely and a 5 min walk to the small harbour village. The room was serviced every day with linen change every 3 days. All staff were very helpful and friendly. Lovely beach 5 mins walk beyond the harbour up the steps of the end restaurant. Free sunbeds if you buy a coffee or snack. Delicious homemade food and excellent breakfast. Pool is lovely and we were often the only ones using it. Would recommend.

Hotel was excellent but I was disappointed with the friendliness of the owner. I accidentally broke a cheap plastic lid to the cistern when pressing the flush button(on first day) and I felt intimidated by his displeasure. It subsequently made me uncomfortable and I did not stay on the premises other than to change and sleep. Lid was replaced within a couple of hours and could not have cost that much. Needs some customer services training.

A lovely, relaxing hotel with a great restaurant.
We stayed at the Ela Mesa for a fabulous two weeks of relaxation and in a lovely room with great views of the sea from the balcony. All the staff are wonderful and so so helpful and kind at all times. The buffet breakfast has a huge choice and is so tasty - Greek yoghurt, honey, a variety of fresh fruit, cheeses, eggs, meats, breads, pastries and more - delicious. We also ate at the restaurant and found the food to be superb - Greek traditional hot food and salads and a wonderful Fisherman's Spaghetti. We took a trip over to Athens for a day each week - the city is breathtaking and pretty easy to reach by ferry or Flying Dolphin from Aegina Port and the Metro from Piraeus. Lots to see and do on the island too; car hire is reasonable. A truly wonderful place to stay - we are definitely going back: so many people staying when we did were regular visitors which is a huge recommendation in itself.

Family hotel close to the beach and restaurants
Ela Mesa is a lovely quiet and friendly place to stay. Thrassos has a good rapour with his visitors and is helpful and more than pleased to answer any questions and be helpful when required. All rooms are either on the ground floor opening to the pool or with a balcony with a delightful view of the swimming pool and sea. I was staying with two children who enjoyed the swimming pools and excellent air conditioning! The rooms are basic but all have a TV, wifi and a very good shower. Our room had a fridge which was very useful. The breakfast was very good with cold meats/cheeses, cereals, plenty of fruit/pastries etc, eggs and Greek hot pastries. The hotel could not be better located for Soulava, quiet and less touristy part of the island, with a lovely selection of restaurants. Go to the beach beyond Sovala bay, where there are no sea urchins an umbrellas and plenty of free umbrellas. We took a taxi to The Temple of Aphaia and the lost village is also worth the trek.

Fantastic hotel
We stayed for a week with our two young children and it was simply fantastic. A small hotel with great service and a great pool, which my 5 year old swam in for hours on end. The breakfast offer was very comprehensive with options to suit all and the lunch / evening food was very good too all of very good portions. We particularly enjoyed the spring rolls, traditional kebabs and chicken burgers. Free Wi-fi and fridges, kettles and hairdryers in every room where super. However the best part was how spacious and comfy the beds were. Very relaxing holiday even with children. Situated in a small fishing village there’s a little play park next to a beach side bar we visited whilst siesta happened (3pm -5pm). There’s also a couple of local shops where you can get basic food items or gifts. Taxi cost 12€ to Aegina town which is a wonderful place with many restaurants, bars and shops. You can also take a trip by ferry from souvala or aegina town for a few euro to other parts of the island or if you fancy to any of the local islands. Thrassos the owner was really friendly and very helpful. Arranged taxis to greet us off the ferry in pieraus and take us to the airport and even playing with my son when he chance. I would definitely recommend this as an excellent choice for a relaxing reasonably priced hotel.
