8/10 Good
"Rooms were large and well maintained. The pool area was small, but the pool itself nice and large. The gym was a decent size, but quite a low ceiling and as a tall person, it meant I couldn't use the treadmills as my head would have hit the ceiling. Breakfast was very nice. My only complaint is the stinginess around water and coffee. You got 4 Nespresso pods and one bottle of water. Any additional you had a note that would have been charged. For a 5* hotel this smarted a bit and felt more like a 3* style action."

Capsis Hotel Thessaloniki

Capsis Hotel Thessaloniki

10/10 Excellent
"It’s all about the roof terrace and pool! It’s an easy 20 to 30 mins walk to most main sites and sea front although there are better located hotels in the same price range and cheaper. Breakfast is a great choice although seating is all inside and feels like a canteen rather than a 4 star hotel. Rooms are spacious and clean and air con good although the decor is dated. The absolute star of the show is the roof terrace and pool and bar. And that’s why we’d choose this hotel again and again. If you want the outside space then this is the hotel for you. Staff up there are super friendly and helpful and really look after you."
