The Castelli Hotel in Laganas is perfectly located as it is in a quiet location just up from the sea front with all the lovely restaurants and bars and only a short stroll to the busy main strip.
The pool at the Castelli is one of the nicest I've ever seen in a European hotel. There are plenty of loungers - no need to get up early.
Rooms are spotless. the only downside is that aircon, fridge hire and sunbed mattress have to be paid for - this can add up over your stay!
I would say that 50% of the guests have been there before and go back year after year.
Even so the owners go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need and can answer and help you with any questions.
Doors close at 2.00 am so it is not suitable for party animals which is good as there are no groups. A perfect hotel for couples of any age.

The Castelli Hotel was certainly not to my liking, you do get welcomed in with orange juice which gave it a nice touch but after the shoddy introduction it went downhill from there. In Spiris's words :-"it is the best hotel in the island"....NOT!!!
The first day they didn't bother with you until you asked for a safety deposit box or a fridge which you had to pay 40euros for each! Every night the crickets started to chirp and even if the doors were closed it still rang through your ears ,and don’t get me started on the breakfast it could not have been worse.
An egg cup full of cornflakes and some bread. For the price I paid I should have been waited on hand and foot. The food was good, excellent pizza bar man cheery, daughter Maria very polite.
If you wanted to watch TV there was a little tiny bit at the corner where you can watch the news the god channel orAPC-H45-1. I would not recommend a second trip.

Clean and fresh. Not bad pool with pool bar. No air conditioning. Be warned your key fits most other people’s doors.

Breakfast is traditional basic, roll and small slices of meat and cheese. small orange juice coffee, peaches with yogurt if you prefer, not great for kids as you get sugar size bowl of cornflakes.
The owner of hotel always at reception for handing in of keys or rental of most things, fridge, fan safety box etc, or advice or help. He’s not that great with kids though as he likes a quiet run hotel, doors close at 2am, so if you locked out too bad.
Be warned he can be un-amused if accidentally don’t hand in key before you go out and about, also leave exactly at ten if not before leaving date. If using phone in room - expensive. Shower soaks floor so be quick.

Me and my wife have just returned from yet another fabulous holiday at The Castelli. Spiros, Anastasia, Maria and their wonderful Staff cannot do enough for you.
The place is absolutely spotless and clean and the location is spot on, just a nice leisurely stroll down to the beach where there are lots of Tavernas to choose from, one we particularly liked was iFratelli where we were looked after very well.
This was our third visit to The Castelli and we booked for next year before we left.

I cannot believe the review I have read previously. It just doesn’t make sense. I have never been to such a friendly hotel. It will knock you back how nice the owners are and their daughter Maria. The hotel was extremely clean and breakfast, although continental was fine. The ages of the occupants raged from us being 20 to 60 yr olds. The walk to the beach is certainly not uphill.
To prove that the hotel is so good - there were people there that have now been 20+ times.
If you give the hotel respect, they will give lots back
The only regret I have is going with Thompson - the next time we go we will certainly be booking direct with the hotel.

The hotel was clean and we were welcomed with fresh orange juice when checking in which was a nice touch. The owners say it is 200 metres to the beach, however it is closer to 600 metres down a steepish hill.
The owners seemed friendly at first but after we experienced a 6.6 magnitude earthquake it became clear this wasn't the case. They would not clean up any damaged rooms but passed brooms to the guests and told them to sweep the broken glass etc into a corner.
Breakfast was very basic (as is normal in Greece) but the quality was terrible.
