Had a room with a seaview (no balcony) that had all that we had wanted - parking (free) for the car nearby, A/C, comfortable bed & tea-making facilities and close proximity to the Old Town. Lovely helpful staff.
Did need the curtains / shutters to block the lights from a nearby building.

This is a unique place. We had the top floor room and it was heaven! Nice kitchen, large balcony, wood panels everywhere. You just need to be able to climb the two-story indoor spiral staircase. It’s well worth it to have a quiet room with beautiful views of the Nafplio harbor. The staff was very helpful in suggesting the best beaches in the area. We would go back!

This is a nice pension, but the staff was hit-or-miss. When we arrived, the individual who checked us in didn't seem happy to see us (we were early, but only by approximately an hour and a half) and was a little curt. The location is great, but the walls are VERY thin. We closed everything and people standing outside were having normal conversations, which seemed to take place in our room. The shower is strange, as there is no way to use it that doesn't get water all over the bathroom. The toilet paper situation is unusual in Greece (compared to the U.S.), but this place didn't have a bidet, unlike other hotels. It doesn't offer breakfast, which is fine given the price and its distinction as a \"pension\" compared to a hotel. The view was excellent.

Very quiet area, yet also very close to the heart of the old city (just down the steps). Not fancy, but very comfortable. The staff were welcoming and chatty. Although my room with a balcony was said on the website listing to have \"no view\" it did in fact have a view of the sea, and a breeze every evening helped to cool things down and dry my laundry. I stayed here once in 2009 and again in 2025. Would definitely recommend.

We stayed in the top floor suite. No lift in the hotel but we knew that. We also knew there were going to be lots of stairs from the town center to the hotel. If you take a cab or car they can drop you off at a parking lot with fewer stairs. We really liked the location and the feel of the room. We had a balcony and kitchen in the top suite. The shower was fine but not as nice as the rest of the room. We would definitely stay here again. The stairs in the hotel are not friendly for large luggage. Our carry on airline luggage was fine.

This is a town you need to walk around. Most of the old town is pedestrian streets only with very limited parking. Once you find a spot, you don't move your car. This lovely hotel is high up on the hill so there was many steps down and up a few times a day. Everything else about this hotel was good and the staff were excellent.

This pension was very reasonably priced so that needs to be taken into consideration and makes the stay acceptable for what it is - a decent place to stay in this beautiful city. It was very clean, there was parking around the corner and it was conveniently located. A couple of things: you need to be able to climb fairly steep steps to get to your rooms and there are no elevators. Rooms on the second and third floors had a very narrow spiral staircase that was a struggle to get up with suitcases. The room had a balcony overlooking the harbor which was beautiful. The bathroom was tiny, making the shower with hand held faucet a bit difficult to navigate.

Bad Visit

We arrived and the room was up severa.several flights if a small spiral staircase. No elevator so we had to carry large suitcases up the spiral staircase. The receptionist actually said \" can't you leave your suitcases in the car?\". Then to top it off we found bed bugs in our bed. We ended up leaving at 11pm the day we arrived. Was a very baf experience.

We’ve been to Nafplio many times but had never stayed at Pension Eleni before. It is up the hill, with a car park nearby. The view is spectacular. It has steps but is easily accessible by walking. The photos of the room online are very accurate. Everything was perfect. I can’t say enough good things. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Cozy pension with stunning view

This is a small, friendly family run place in traditional style. I stayed in a room with a great sea view. The area is high on the hill so be prepared to climb several steep stairs.
The room was comfortable and had a kettle, and coffee and tea were provided. As well as water and some Greek cookies.
It was a pleasant stay with the incredible Greek hospitality.

Excellent place, if you don't mind stairs!!!

The Pension is really good, and Eleni, the old lady who runs it. Is an absolute sweetheart. Just be warned, you have to climb about 4 stories of stairs to get the building, which was a pain with bags. But the room. And the view and the general service was excellent. We loved our stay!!

Eleni is a lovely old lady from some story book. She was a delightful presence even though we barely managed to communicate. Her place must also be from a story book, charming, overlooking blue water, close to everything Nafplio has to offer. The breakfast is really poor very unbecoming to Greece culinary practices, but even that does not ruin the charms of Pension Eleni.

Eleni is the dearest person in Nafplio. Maybe even in Greece!

Her Pension rooms are bright, colorful, and clean with everything you could need, and the building is located very close to but far enough from the city’s busy areas that you can get a quiet night’s rest (which includes sleeping on Eleni’s comfy beds).

We are truly grateful to have gotten to know Eleni and her place a little. And we think others will quite enjoy doing so, too.
