Room was clean. A/C didn’t work well at night. Beds were hard and the pillows weren’t the greatest. Pool was great and well maintained. Property was in a great location.

Had a wonderful stay at Summer Shades. The rooms were clean and modern. The staff were friendly and helpful. And the location of the hotel was perfect - walking distance to Naoussa town. We also enjoyed the hotel pool. Would definitely recommend staying here

If you’re coming to Greece as the whole world right now going through a heat wave and the rooms are not the best when dealing with AC. We reached on the first day and they did not mention we needed to keep the key inside even though no extra key to keep the room cool. We had to sleep in our undergarments and honesty not sure how we even slept. I think after a few hours we ended crashing because we had such a long journey from our travels our body was tired. I have asthma and I also woke up stuffy. We did reach out to the Expedia messaging, but they don’t have 24/7 for hotel. Honesty if you’re traveling with family and or older or health issues if they don’t tell you this beforehand you’ll die in the rooms. I wish they explained this beforehand. Anyways, they helped after but we only stayed there that night and didn’t really stay in the room and left so early so it was like pointless but still was not cold enough. We did ask for the refund for the first night or some partial refund. I will reach out to Expedia about the matters. Besides that the walk to the rooms is a walk but the taxi arrangement was nice.

We loved how clean the rooms were, how knowledgeable the staff was, and how amazing the pool area was. The hotel was also within close walking distance from the main town. My only complaint would be that the rooms were quite small.

We arrived at the hotel and the room we were given was dirty, it smelled of must. We complained and staff did change our room, however this was only slightly better.
The initial room has hairs in the plug hole and hairs on the wall. It was dingy!!
When I complained about the smell, staff told me to open a window.
The beds were awful.
The beds around the pool where old and the cushions were ripped, this looked extremely scruffy.
We were offered other rooms but they wanted to charge us another €140 per night.
We are a family of 4 and we did not hire a car. I asked staff to arrange a taxi but they told me that they don’t do this.
We felt stuck.
When I told the staff we were leaving 2 days early as we couldn’t stay any longer, the manager was apologetic. He asked if he could help but we just couldn’t stay in that room any longer.

clean and comfortable.

super cute and clean hotel. It is a little further away from the hustle and bustle of Naousa but just a quick 10 min walk or 3 min scooter/car ride! Hotel does have its own little parking area which is super convenient. Rooms were clean and AC worked well. Pool was a little chilly but that’s to be expected with the end of September! Overall, perfect little space to stay in Paros!

We had an amazing stay at Summer Shades. The rooms and hotel were minimal but clean and spacious. The staff were really friendly and helpful when booking excursions etc. The hotel was a 10 min walk to the centre of Naousa which we didn’t mind at all, and the hotel was surrounded by coffee shops, bakeries and super markets, so the location was perfect and it had everything we needed. Overall, would highly recommend staying here!!

Summer Shades as lovely place to stay in Paros. It is a decent walk from the centre of Naousa (maybe 10/15 mins) but it felt relatively safe. The staff at the hotel were lovely. They were so helpful when we arrived, they provided lots of information and were always on hand to answer any questions we had. The pool was really good to have and it was never noisy or crowded. I look forward to going to their new hotel in Mykonos.

I don’t understand the reviews for this property on Expedia. we had to switch hotels the second night cause the beds, room, and noise from the road, were so uncomfortable that we weren’t able to sleep. Seriously, I’ve stayed in 1 star hostels nicer than this. Do not believe the reviews here.

Close to Paros main area of restaurants and shops

Beautiful pool area and close to the Paros main area. Nice to have a bar by pool atea. Owner George and his staff were amazing. But rooms need to totally updated. Including the AC units. I paid extra superior room, far from it. Showers tracks were gross with mold.

I didn’t like the fact that you couldn’t bring your own snacks or drinks by the pool. I get it that they want you to buy from them.

Overall the pool is the best part of the hotel.

The pool area was lovely but closed at 7pm, as most people eat quite late would be good to have it open a little longer …. 8-8.30?
Staff were very attentive. A but if a walk uphill from Naoussa Square but also nice to be in a quieter area at night. We would recommend!

We were given a very small room which was not the one I booked. When I made enquiries they said they would change after the first night. (We were booked for 5 nights) The bed in the first room was so bad I hardly slept . Very uncomfortable, loud noisy springs and sagging so much, whenever we my moved we woke up. The room was not great and so small it was difficult to move around with only 2 of us. We were moved the next day to a much bigger room which was the one I paid for on the picture on website when I booked. This room was great and we had twin beds which were firm but comfortable. Great size fridge in this room compared to tiny one in first room, and we had a small table to eat at which was great. Hotel staff were friendly, helpful and very accommodating to our needs. The pool was wonderful, huge and clean. Lots of choice for Sunbeds which were a little tired but okay and a pool bar for food and drinks available. Location was away from main town and a car was necessary but there were buses I think. Coffee shops, cafes across the road which were great. Supermarket a couple of minutes by car. I would only rate this property 3 star but it suited our needs and once we were changed to the correct room,
I think the price suited the property.

The staff were incredibly kind and generous with their time and super helpful for getting around. The room was very nice but the only issue was the bathroom is a bit old and has a slight sewage smell. Also the walk from the town center is a bit grueling in the heat. The only other issue was that they only give you one room key so in the summer the room heats up when you’re not home because the AC requires the key plug. Overall the staff were super helpful with giving us a lot of instructions and support and help with recommendations and getting around.

Stayed for our honeymoon in Paris. We absolutely loved the pool, ease of convenience to downtown Naoussa. Staff were friendly and very helpful when asking for restaurant recommendations, scheduling our transfers to the airport & overall questions. Conveniently located to coffee, laundry, food, etc. we would most definitely stay again and recommend to others!

Perfect location, anything you asked the staff for was never a problem. On our last day we forgot a bag in the hotel and didn’t realize until they called to let us know. We were already at port waiting to board the ferry and they arranged someone to drop off the bag to us at no charge. Couldn’t believe how lucky we were to receive this kind of service. Highly recommend!!

We had a great stay at Arkoulis, thank you to the team working here! The hotel is lovely. The property is beautiful, there were nice plants everywhere, and it has a great big pool, very clean. I haven't noticed such big pools at other hotels, actually.

The location is excellent, because it is very close (7 min walk) to the bus station, from where you can easily (and cheaply) explore Paros. At the same time, it is a 15-min walk to downtown Naoussa, so it is very close, but far enough from the noise of the party-goers, which we appreciated. The walk is also welcome with all the eating we were doing: some exercise :)

I would recommend this hotel for its location, cleanliness, charm (we had a little balcony where we liked to spend time early mornings and late evenings), nice pool, and helpful staff. Finally, it had the best price out of all the hotels I checked in Naoussa.

Fairly standard

The hotel felt too far out from the main part and with a suitcase on arrival this wasn't easy as had to climb a hill in the heat. Also when I arrived i got told a list of rules which I thought was a bit odd for a solo female traveller in her 40s - I felt like it was school rules and as a well travelled woman (and staying over 6 hotels during this one trip to Greece), I never experienced this before (well maybe in my 20s). The room was nice and clean and I was \"upgraded\" to a pool view. Nothing special but I guess I knew it wouldn't be when I booked it. It was good value for the price, and despite the 'rules' they were friendly people

Piece of heaven on Paros island

We spent a great stay in Arkoulis Hotel, all the team was sooo nice with us. The breakfast was great, the swimming pool as well and the bar with George's cocktails too !!
I would like to thanks everyone for your kindness and especially Tasioss (sorry if I misspelled it my friend!) For your kindness and all your information about your beautiful island !
We would definitely come back here if we come back to Paros again one day. I strongly recommend!

Hôtel situé à 10 minutes à pied du port et des restaurants, c’est le point fort de l’hôtel. La gérante est à l’écoute et bienveillante . Elle sera en mesure de vous donner de bons conseils.
Evitez la chambre économique elle donne sur la rue et est de fait bruyante quand il ya du traffic.
Le petit dej est bon. Nous avons apprécié la gentillesse et la serviabilité de la gérante qui nous a même préparé un petit déjeuner à emporter lors de notre départ.
