Porto Palace Hotel

The feedback details contained on Expedia about this hotel are NOT correct. This hotel is NOT in the city centre, that’s 10 mins away on the local bus. There ISNT a shuttle to city or shopping centre, the hotel people will direct you to the city bus! Basically the hotel is situation in the run down port area of the city and is surrounded by night clubs. We stayed there on Saturday night and the hotel and surroundings are swamped by people wondering around who have just come out of 11am on Sunday, you can only imagine! It’s kind of scary, particularly if you have children. The club noise rattles the window of the hotel, the room was extremely hot and we were told that the air con was coming on until May! We had to open the window and listen to the noise of the club – it finished at about 10am the day. The room was poorly cleaned and smelt of cigarettes as well! We checked out early and went to stay at the Hyatt which was amazing. Don’t stay in this hotel; it would be a false economy to do so!

The Porto Palace Hotel was amazing. We found out that the building was an old tennary (1913) which is a <Monument of contemporary architecture>. Really interested! The De Luxe Room was beautiful, and we loved the bathroom! Our package included a welcoming bottle of wine, slippers, robes, and breakfast. Breakfast was great, and they have lots of olives, a traditional sweet pie (bouyatsa) and feta cheese. So Mediterranean! We would stay here again, no question! We read a review about hard beds. We didn't think the beds were hard at all. Maybe it's because we'd been traveling for so long and were just that tired... but we found the bed just fine. Getting around Be sure you visit the Archaeological museum and if interested in Christianity, don’t miss the Byzantine Museum and the Old Palaiochristian UNESCO monuments and the Tomb of St. Dimitri.

Our stay exceeded our expectations! Spacious room with all comforts and a welcome card with mineral water. Smiling and courteous people. Very eager to give directions and information about the city. The shuttle bus drove us to central sq. , 10 min. drive. Don’t miss the archaeological museum with the exhibits from Vergina (Macedonian king tombs . King Philippos father of Alexander the Great). Lovely cafes and fantastic food.

We loved Thessaloniki. Such a vibrant and vivid city! The Moudiano market is full of Balkan flavours and colours. The accommodations and architecture of the building were great. The breakfast was full of local tastes and healthy Mediterranean food. Comparable to other 5 star hotels in Athens and Rome, with a lower price. Service outstanding, hope to return sometime.

This is an opulent and beautiful hotel, considering the ultra low price I've paid per night. Overall, I would recommend it strongly for people who want their comforts and added values. The rooms are spacious and happy coloured. The bar area is lovely and great for getting together. The breakfast buffet was so reach of Greek tastes! Front desk staff and housekeeping were very helpful and courteous. The concierge service was uneven, they were very helpful in getting us info about the fantastic city's gastronomy. The hotel has a great, free Shuttle bus service to prime shopping areas. That's good, because it is not located near them.

An outstanding hotel that offers amenities and WiFi, internet for free. A real value. The staff is very helpful and friendly, the rooms spotless, there is a workout area, and the ambience is very inviting. I would recommend this hotel to everyone. Although it is somewhat removed from the city center, public buses and taxis are easily accessible and it is quieter.
