Molyvos I

“Can't fault this hotel for value for money”

So it may need the decor refreshing but I cannot fault this hotel for location or the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, would return in a heartbeat to Molyvos 1, the room was comfortable and clean and the breakfast more than adequate

“Almost perfect….”

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay at The Molyvos 1 hotel which we booked via Booking.com during our 2 week stay on the island.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay at The Molyvos 1 hotel which we booked via Booking.com during our 2 week stay on the island. The room we booked was described as a “road view” which we were a bit concerned about but it turned out that it wasn’t actually next to any road and had amazing views of the castle. Given the choice I would have chosen this room rather than a sea view room. The room was exceptionally clean with a large comfortable bed. The bathroom had the best shower we have had in Greece for a while with a glass screen and deep tray, so there was no flooding of the bathroom when having a shower. The facilities in the room were few but adequate, the fridge was smaller than an under-counter fridge but enough for a few drinks and some complimentary water was provided. There was a television but no English channels and air conditioning was included in the price. As it seems with most Greek hotels there was no kettle or tea/coffee making facilities. The location was beautiful, set on a small cobbled street directly opposite the beach where sun beds were available at €3 each. The terrace also facing the beach was where breakfast was served and this was ideal as it is fully shaded in the morning. Everywhere was within walking distance and we enjoyed one evening high up in the town and the second evening in the busy harbour. The only thing I would fault was the breakfast, the fruit juice was incredibly watered down and we had much better at a 2* hotel we stayed at. Also the choice and quality of the bread was poor and there was no proper toaster just a breville sandwich maker. The usual Greek yoghurt, peaches, watermelon and salads were adequate but there was nothing outstanding or different. The inside bar lounge and outside terrace were lovely but we felt these were underutilised, there were very few guests using the facilities in the evening and this may have been due to the absence of any drink menus or prices. It seemed a shame that this wasn’t promoted more. I would recommend anyone staying on Lesvos to have a night or two here to experience everything Molyvos has to offer and when you book via Booking.com the price includes the air conditioning, breakfast and room tax so there are no other extras to pay for. I would have given 5* and the only reason for the 4 is that breakfast is most definitely not 5*.

“Sad sad breakfast”

The breakfast is just very bad. Super thin coffee and a tacky display of all the breakfast. Cold scrambled eggs every time they were there, cold sausages and poor quality of everything. Location is super and the rooms are fair also. Old but good. The cleaning is super nice.
