Parian Boutique Hotel

Location: The hotel is conveniently located near a beautiful beach, offering easy access to a quiet seaside. It's less than a 10-minute walk to Naoussa town, with its vibrant nightlife, shops, and restaurants, making it a great base for exploring Paros.

We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights and it did not meet our expectations. The hotel is in close proximity to the town, so it is walkable yet, private and quiet. Unfortunately, that is all I can list in its favour. We travelled quite extensively so I feel we have a good grasp when comparing hotels and also we understand there are different standards across regions so I will try to stay as objective as possible. Rooms: We stayed at the Superior Double room and there was quite a contrast to what the hotel pictures show in their website and the actual rooms. The regular maintenance and upkeep of the rooms is lacking with cracks showing on the wall, curtains that do not open all the way, scuffs on furniture and poor repair jobs on the floor. The beds were not comfortable. They could use a mattress topper to help contrast the quality of the mattress. I do understand that is a personal preference though. Hotel grounds: Again, quite a difference to what it is showed in the website pictures. We were staring at two covered fireplaces that obstructed the view. There were no lounging chairs, only large pillows thrown on the floor. The fireplaces were not lit in any of the nights we were there, even on calm, windless nights. Pool: The pool is VERY small and quite deceiving versus what you see in the hotel website. Privacy: Rooms facing the terrace have very little privacy as they face the common areas. We stayed in room #42, which was opposite to the large round fireplace. When guests were sitting there, they had a clear view into our suite. In addition, the entrance for the room beside us can only be possible through the terrace, so other guests had to passed by our room to get into theirs. Bathroom: It was adequate but as other reviews have stated, bring your own hair dryer as the one in the premises is extremely poor quality. These are details that could add to the experience at a very low cost to the hotel. If you are a woman with long hair, you can relate! Mini bar: Prices in mini bar and breakfast were the highest we have seen in Greece, even higher than Santorini. Staff communication / service: We found the staff attentiveness lacking in a few instances. Showing no proactivity to arrange transfers that are offered with the accommodations, emails left unanswered or just simply showing little effort in reaching out to guests ahead of time when a request was made, waiting for guests to initiate the interactions instead. We are very reasonable when staying at hotels and these exchanges contrasted sharply with the warm hospitality we experienced in other accommodations during our trip. 3-star or 4-star? Some sites list this hotel as 3-star, while others claim it’s 4-star. The hotel itself promotes the 4-star rating, but based on our experience, it does not meet that standard. We couldn’t find an official certification from the Hellenic Chamber of Hotels, which raises concerns about transparency. I hope this review helps you make an inf

Fantastic hotel. Free transfer that was included as we booked direct was great. Warm welcome received upon arrival of hotel, bags were taken from our taxi and brought up to our room which was a nice touch. Room was amazing, we stayed in a superior double with a sea view. Probably one of the nicest hotel rooms I’ve ever stayed in. Room was so modern and sleek and was extremely clean. Had everything you needed and you could not beat that sea view from balcony. Hotel pool is nice, nobody really uses it as it is small but this isn’t a bad thing. It overlooks the side of the hotel and is a nice way to cool down. Bean bags are available beside this area to sunbath. Staff are all so friendly and helpful. Hotel is in a really great location, about a 10 minute walk to Naoussa centre. I would recommend everyone who is coming to Paros to stay near Naoussa, it is far nicer and more lovely than Parikia town. My only suggestion to this hotel was to provide more breakfast options/alternatives at a cheaper price point. The breakfast looked amazing, it is brought to your room at a specified time with loads of options, such as eggs, cereal, omelette, juices, tea’s, coffee, pastries etc. However for us personally the price is too expensive and we personally wouldn’t each that much in the morning. It’s €50 per couple each morning and this is the only option for breakfast they have. If the hotel could provide a cheaper option, perhaps giving you fewer options such as granola, fruit etc, I feel this would be better to at least have the alternative. We walked to a local bakery (about 10 minutes walk away) each morning and picked up some fresh pastries and orange juice instead for €8. This isn’t a criticism only a suggestion for the hotel to improve and make the breakfast more appealing to everyone. Overall I would recommend everyone to stay at this hotel and get a room with a sea view, you will not be disappointed. If I was to visit Naoussa again I would stay here again.
