We are a start-up taking a fresh approach to modern hospitality. As a “virtual hotel,” we offer the services of a traditional hotel, our “rooms” just happen to be scattered across town. Heloni is an ancient Greek word that translates into tortoise; Our philosophy stems from the animals’ ability to feel comfortable on every journey. Safe and secure in its shell, a tortoise can enjoy the extraordinary joy of newness without worry. With the same reasoning, we create apartments that feel familiar and take care of everything, so that our guests can focus on what truly matters – the joy of the journey. Heloni apartments are designed with the global citizen in mind; our hospitality vision brings together creativity, utmost comfort, and customized services. Tucked away in central neighborhoods, our apartments offer you the opportunity to indulge local culture to the maximum. We want our guests to be autonomous, independent travelers but also have premium services at their fingertips. Our company can issue an invoice instead of a receipt, but kindly note that you should notify us at least one day prior to check-in.
