10/10 Excellent
"Excellent Hotel. Very clean and stylish design. The quality of the beds, all fixtures & fittings were of a high standard. The staff were very efficient & friendly. I am sure after a busy long summer they were tired but it never showed and they were genuinely polite . Breakfast is buffet style with lots of choice. The pool area is compact but very nice with vibe music. We were given fresh fruit kebabs which was a nice touch and also a leaving gift of local delicacies. 10/10 for this Greek Boutique Hotel.

"Good stay in Symi at Maravelias Rooms, the accommodation is in a great place, so close to the port but on a side street so nice and quiet! The rooms are spotless and the whole building is looked after by a housekeeper who is worth her weight in gold, super friendly and extremely conscientious. Very easy to pick up keys from the office and the team there were very friendly. Although we didn't use it, there is a very nice roof terrace for guests to use. I do have a couple of criticisms though mostly small but a little annoying as it wasn't the cheapest place to stay - for example, there was only one towel hook in the bathroom, but when there's 2 of you it's annoying .... Only one bedside table, with a lamp - but no electricity socket to plug the lamp in (this was pointed out in a review in 2025 but still not addressed), it's great having a few pieces of crockery (plates / bowls / coffee maker / even a sandwich toaster) but nowhere to prepare stuff, no tea towel, you have to use the bathroom sink .... Limited storage for clothes - a set of drawers would have made a difference (and you could have used top for crockery). Biggest problem, we couldn't shower when the room next door was using theirs, no hot water and low water pressure. It just meant waiting a bit ... but .... it was quite exasperating, and not their fault I'm sure they had no idea! Maybe we were unlucky and it was just our room."
