When I decide going to Zakynthos, I immediately fell in love with the Hotel Strada Marina, but when I saw the price, I knew that I’m going to stay there. Let me tell you why.
This hotel is located in the city center of Zakynthos just in front of the port. Even if its located so near to the sea traffic, you don’t hear the noise of it. As I entered the hotel, I immediately recognized the kindness of their employees. They try to help you wherever they can for planning your trips.
I really loved our room. It was clean and you had a lot of space. The best thing about it was the view over the port. The only thing which was not perfect were the beds. The mattress was really hard. If you’re not used to this, it can be difficult for you to sleep. But for me, this was just a detail, as I can sleep wherever I am.
My favorite place in the hotel was definitely the roof garden with its bar. I loved it to sit there and enjoy the amazing view over the sea. The barkeeper was really nice and mixed delicious cocktails.
We only had breakfast in the hotel, but it was delicious. Something the Greek really can do, is cooking! You just can’t resist their food. Even if you’re full, you just keep on eating, because it tastes soooo good.
Ok, let’s be honest, the price was deciding! I couldn’t believe it, until I got the bill. We paid 343€ for 7 days in the Superior Double Room with Sea View including breakfast.
As Zakynthos isn’t a big island, you can visit everything by car. So the Hotel Strada Marina was an excellent start point for every activity. BUT you have to rent a car. The public transport in Zakynthos is not so developed as in other European cities. When you’ve hired a car, you’re completely free to visit as much as you can.
Prices for a Classic Room start at 66 € per night (in the high season)
