great location directly at the beach, great views from the rooms over the sea and beach extremely friendly and helpful staff; I had a problem with my rented car which got damaged by a third party; the staff at Danaos provided invaluable help

Victor Switzerland

We stayed only for one night, everything was fine - the location is next to the beach and lots of restaurants around. The stuff was very friendly and helpful, they also printed for us the boarding passes.

Iacobuti Romania

If I could live here, I would!! The beach access and availability is outstanding!! Sophia at the front desk is so kind and helpful! The balcony view, large room, clothes line and comfy bed made the stay great.

Diane United States of America

Great location across from the beach, very nice helpful staff. Our room had a sea view with balcony which we really enjoyed.

Robert Canada

Great receptionists, excellent shower, beds and AC. Breakfast is excellent for 7 euro.

Sylvia Netherlands

right on the beach, restaurants nearby and has a lift

Jackie United States of America

I don’t like cold, continental breakfasts, so I cannot judge the one available at Hotel Danaos.

Allan United Kingdom

The staff at the hotel were so friendly and helpful! The location was awesome. There is a beautiful beach right out front and it was easy to walk to other beaches as well as the old venetian harbor and town. Breakfast was $6 euros each and definitely worth it. My husband and I stayed here for five nights and really enjoyed it!
