The Margi

I stayed at The Margi and had an excellent experience. A high level boutique hotel with a warm, thoughtful, and always smiling team. Every request was handled immediately and in a genuinely pleasant way. The beds are very comfortable, the food is outstanding, and the front desk agent Sotiris took care of every detail and went above and beyond. I will definitely return whenever I can.

I had always wanted to stay at this hotel, and on my recent trip to Athens, I finally did – and I was certainly not disappointed! Although it was on the pricey side (as I booked last minute), it was absolutely worth it.||The location is excellent, in a quiet area yet with 2–3 beach clubs just down the road. You really get the best of both worlds – the luxury and comfort of the hotel, or the option of spending a day at a beach club nearby.||From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed and immediately felt like I was joining a family. The staff are friendly, polite, and professional, and the whole atmosphere of the hotel is relaxed, elegant, and luxurious.||Highlights of my stay:||Room: Calm, beautifully appointed, and luxurious, with its own balcony to enjoy. The soundproofing was excellent, ensuring a restful night’s sleep.||Breakfast: In all my years of travel, it would be hard to find a breakfast that compares. The variety and quality of food were outstanding, the presentation was impressive, and the service from the staff was exceptional.||Pool: A beautifully designed space to unwind under the Greek sun. The pool staff were attentive and quick to serve food and drinks, and I never struggled to find a lounger. My only comment would be that some families did not manage their children well – at times, kids were running around, shouting, and even jumping on loungers. While it may have been an isolated issue, it did happen on multiple occasions and slightly disrupted the otherwise tranquil atmosphere.||Final thoughts:|This hotel exceeded my expectations, and I would return without hesitation. My only suggestion would be for the hotel to set clearer rules regarding children’s behavior at the pool, or consider positioning itself as an adults-only property. I believe this would enhance the experience for the many couples and solo travelers who choose this hotel.||Overall, a truly memorable stay – highly recommended.

A hotel feels so cosy like home… Beautiful interior amazing energy always spending the best time here … All the staff are polite professional services are 🔝 Highly recommended in all ways ! Thank you for creating such beautiful place to stay choosing the Margi again and again ✨

Absolutely amazing hotel and restaurant. We enjoyed our time there. |The meatballs at lunch should be made into a meal, not just an appetizer :)|The gym was above average for a hotel and the lifts (elevators) were a unique experience.

Stayed here twice on my trip to Greece. Great service, comfortable beds, and nice pool vibe. The cocktails are delicious and the breakfast is even better. Will definitely come back here. It’s a 30 min drive into town but the beaches next to this hotel are crystal clear.

My wife and I first stayed at the Margi in Vouliagmeni four years ago on our way to Mykonos and found it to be the perfect place for a stopover in Athens. We returned at the end of July and again over the first weekend in August. Much has changed, not least as far as dining in concerned. Although it is very much an upmarket Greek hotel, they now serve only Italian food in the restaurant. Since we live in Italy and eat Italian food every day, my wife asked for an omelette instead of what was on the menu and was told that this was impossible. Even more disappointing was the accommodation. When we arrived over the weekend, we were told that we had been upgraded to an executive room from a superior one. Imagine our surprise when we discovered on walking into the room that there was no actual bathroom! The wash basin was at one end of the entrance corridor while the shower and toilet were in a glass fronted cabinet facing the entrance door. This was for a room for which we were paying 747 Euros a night in a five-star hotel. When my wife complained, after initially trying to fob her off with a free spa treatment, they agreed to knock 100 Euros off for each of us. reducing the final charge to what we would have paid if we had paid the advance charge daily rate! Scarcely what one expects of a member of Small Luxury Hotels. Next trip to Athens will definitely be to a genuine five-star hotel.

Hotel is nice but, for the price, the service is lacking. We stayed there on the night of our wedding and even though we mentioned this at the time of booking there was no mention, no congratulations, nothing special to show that they value their guests. In comparison, we then stayed in a small hotel in Tinos and the hotel offered us a complimentary couples massage as a kind gesture!

I was left with a rather negative impression of this hotel. Here is what I did not like: 1. The room was extremely small for the price. In early September, the rate was €500 per night, yet there was hardly any space to unpack a suitcase or store belongings comfortably. 2. I was woken up at 6 AM by loud construction noise outside. When I went to the reception to request a room change, the staff seemed well aware of the construction, which made it even more surprising that guests were not informed beforehand. They quickly gave me another room, but it turned out to be several times smaller than the first one and still facing the construction site. I went back to the reception again and asked for a more comfortable option while I had breakfast. Only on the second attempt did they provide a quieter room with a pool view. It was unclear why they didn’t offer this from the very beginning, as they initially denied having any quiet rooms available. 3. The breakfast was very poor and unappetizing. Every morning I asked for eggs with a runny yolk, but they were always overcooked and fried on both sides. Orders were often mixed up, served very late, and I had to remind the staff several times. 4. Poolside service during the day was extremely slow—I waited for about an hour before a waitress came to take my order. 5. The hotel is located right in the city center, with windows overlooking an ordinary residential block. There is no sense of privacy or seclusion, despite how it looks in the photos. The property is also situated directly on a busy road. 6. The nearest beach is a regular public rocky beach, accessible only for an additional fee, and nothing special at all. Conclusion: The hotel is simply not worth the money. It feels very old, the service is poor, the location is inconvenient, and overall the experience was disappointing.
