For our first ever visit to Thessaloniki in October 2025 we chose to stay at the Blue Bottle Hotel.|We were checked in by a lovely young lady by the name of Ελευθερία. (Eleftería) As we were just about to get in the elevator, we asked her to think of a restaurant she would recommend for our evening meal. When we came down again a short while later she handed us a piece of paper on which she had written down the names of 6 Tavernas, 5 restaurants and 5 Street Food outlets and 6 bars, all with their respective addresses. She had also written down all of the main tourist attractions and one recommended day trip out of the city. We have never experienced such thoroughly good service anywhere else. Over the next 10 days we got to know all of the other staff on the reception desk and in the breakfast room and they were all equally friendly.|The hotel is very well located and within walking distance of many of the famous sights and the sea front. There are also many bus routes and the Venizelou metro stop close by. Our room was spacious enough for two people, the bed was comfortable and the shower and the WC were separate. The breakfast is à la carte, not buffet-style, and there is plenty to choose from. We intend to go back to Thessaloniki a second time and, when we do, we wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else but the Blue bottle.
