My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The friendly staff went above and beyond to assist us, making our experience more enjoyable. However, the noise levels were quite disruptive, especially at night, and the dining options left something to be desired. While the location was convenient for exploring the nearby beaches, the room I received did not match what I expected based on the pictures, which was a letdown.

I had a lovely time at Hotel Armava, which has a welcoming family vibe and is ideally located in the heart of Hersonissos, just steps from the beach and various entertainment options. The rooms are basic but clean, and the staff is friendly, making the overall experience enjoyable. However, I noticed that the dining options were limited and the Wi-Fi connection could be improved. Overall, it's a great choice for those looking for a budget-friendly stay with good access to local attractions.

My stay at this hotel was quite a mixed bag. While the location was very convenient and offered easy access to the beach and local attractions, I had quite a few issues with the room and the service. The room was not very clean, and I struggled to find anyone at the reception to address my concerns. On a positive note, the dining was simple but enjoyable, especially the dinners. Overall, while there were some redeeming qualities, the negatives made it hard to fully recommend the hotel.

The hotel is quite basic, perfect for families who prefer outdoor activities over spending time indoors. The location is a strong point, as it's close to the center of Hersonissos and the sea. However, the lack of on-site amenities like a bar or adequate Wi-Fi can be frustrating. The overall quality is reflected in the price, making it a budget-friendly choice but with some compromises in comfort and service.
