We felt our stay at Geo & Art Boutique in Himare was amazing! The staff was incredibly helpful and provided great customer service. Our room was exactly as expected, mattress better than expected and view was priceless. Having paid for an upgrade to a patio sea view suite was worth every penny. We truly feel this was the best location in this beautiful town we could have stayed.

Great breakfast and friendly staff. Variety of food. No parking on site or even outside. We found a 24hr parking spot 7 mins walk away from the hotel.
Good location close to nearby bars and restaurants, although it can be quite loud with music heard to the rooms. There is no sound proofing, you can hear all doors, foots steps, knocks as it’s just concrete building. Given it’s a boutique hotel, the rooms are tiny but with a huge balcony. Almost doesn’t seem well designed. My husband is 6ft tall and his feet were hanging over the bed. We only stayed one night and felt that was enough for a stop over.

The facility would get 5 star for location, cleanliness and staff. The only reason I gave it a 4 overall was because of facility condition (internet went out, and doors were locked at 7 am and I had to find a way out of 3rd floor to exit building) and breakfast (the quality wasn’t that great, with coffee being particularly horrific). I have to particularly commend the staff. They were consistently helpful.

Lovely hotel in a lovely city!

Geo&Art hotel is perfect for those who like to be in the middle of the action in Himara. Walking distance to the beachside, restaurants, and bars. The service is excellent and the hotel is clean and well kept. The staff they have there is amazing. Note that this hotel does not have parking but they do have a recommended spot about 5 min walk from it. I belive I paid 10 Euros per day there. Also, if you like total quietness, note that this hotel is in front of the lively part of the city. It becomes very quiet at midnight, however.

Cool but Super Loud

The hotel was cozy and views amazing, however there is no nearby decent parking, there is no privacy on your patio or barely in your room if neighbor is on their patio, and the nightly noise from the kids arcade and nightclubs goes late into the evening. Outdoor table ice hockey plinking is somehow so loud?! We booked two nights and forfeited our second in hopes of finding something quieter.

Great hotel, fantastic location

Cute little hotel in a fantastic location. Definitely splurge on the sea facing rooms, the balcony was the highlight of our stay. I believe it’s run by a husband/wife Albanian duo and staffed by a few of the kindest Pilipino women. Everyone was very helpful.

The beds were very comfortable and beach towels were provided daily.

A few things I would have liked to know before booking or upon check in:

Parking costs extra and is down the street. Not a problem but it was a bit hard to find. A map would have been useful.

The hotel provides passes for beach chairs and the beach down the street. A huge plus and something we loved but a map of how to find it would also have been useful.

It is a bit noisy, walls are thin and music from the bars goes on until about midnight, but wasn’t a huge problem for us.

The door handle of our room was broken the whole time, as was the toilet seat. Not a big problem, both worked well enough but I was surprised that neither were fixed.

The Geo & Art is a family run boutique hotel. We loved our stay at Geo & Art. We had an amazing view of the sea and were only steps away from the beach and dining. The Geo & Art offered reserved beach chairs and umbrellas at a beautiful location only a short walk away. They also provided us with a towel. I recommend bringing water shoes as the beach is rocky. Our hotel was only a 10 minute taxi ride to Himare Castle. The Family (staff) helped us secure the ride to the castle and back. We loved our stay at the Geo & Art and give this hotel our highest recommendation! Thank you for everything!!!

We Didn't Want to Leave...

From the moment we checked into Geo & Art, our stay was absolute bliss. The view from the room was spectacular, the decor was warm and inviting, access to the beach was so easy, and getting to the shops and restaurants was a breeze.

As for breakfast - I have been to a lot of hotels, and I've never experienced a more delicious and satisfying breakfast. Whether you like sweet baked goods or savory breakfast meats, everything was fresh and abundant.

As if the location and the meal weren't enough, the staff were all incredibly warm and friendly. We enjoyed visiting with them and learning a bit about Himare. When it was time to go they made us feel so welcome to return that we didn't really want to leave!

If you are looking for an inviting spot on the beach that is not overcrowded, come to Himare. If you are looking for a place to stay that will make you want to come back over and over, come to Geo & Art.

Good, but should be better.

We liked the hotel, but there are a few things worth knowing before someone books.

There is no onsite parking despite it saying so in the booking. Local parking options are very limited!

During our stay we had issues with the key system beeping very loudly during the middle of the night which woke us up. The traffic and the bar are loud too but we expected this.

The room was very small, I suspect we got given the smaller room when we had booked the larger one.

Breakfast being included was a bonus.

Good things- breakfast very good, air con, clean.

Poor things-Rooms not as advertised, pictures misleading, deluxe triple room was small and daughter had to sleep on a chair bed.
Busy road right outside front of hotel. Expised wires in shower, shower room door would not slide freely, poor position of shower meant you couldn't get under it.
Just as we were about to leave they then said we needed to pay 100 euros to clean the shower noom floor for a small mark that could have been. easily removed. Room was cleaned 2 days previously but nothing said to us about it. Felt we had to pay so we could get to our flight without delay.

Beautiful family-run hotel in the Centre of Himare

Geo & Art Boutique Hotel is a beautiful little family run Hotel in the Centre of Himare, right next to the South West Beach - which is the smallest, but offers free sun bean bags (if you’re there early).
Room was very small and simple, however, the large gorgeous balcony made it totally worth it! We had a sea view room and I highly recommend getting one as it made our stay. If for any reason you don’t, there are public balconies on each floor. The view is stunning and so are the sunsets! Some of our best time was spent enjoying a glass of wine on the balcony.

The hotel is very tasteful and stylish with a “Santorini” vibe and has a great location, although you have to be prepared for music coming from the beach bar across the road between 9 - 12. You are right on the beach promenade and close to everything. We quite enjoyed it though. Would highly recommend the restaurant Acta across the road.

The family that runs the hotel are very helpful and lovely and they make the best breakfast with lots of local delicacies and excellent coffee.
They also have a little boutique.

Parking is about 5 mins walk away but you can load off etc outside the entrance.

We wouldn’t have wanted to stay anywhere else and our well travelled one year old had the best time - but we think the hotel is suited very best for couples.

Great Location, Friendly Host, Top Value

It was very clean and modern. The host was very nice and even put together a small breakfast for us even though it wasnt included. The value was great. The only thing that was a bit confusing (probably just us) was that the photos on Hotels.com make it look like all the balcony rooms have sea views, but that is not the case... maybe just our mistake. Either way it was an excellent place to stay and we would stay again!

Reviewing both my experience with Expedia and the property. The property I'd give 1/5, Expedias handling of feedback and issue a 0.5.

Really disappointed in both the property - we left after one night, even though we'd paid for 2. I like to book through Expedia for the added level of customer service and certainty I get - but now that feels like a myth.

I suggested Expedia reconsider having this hotel associated with their company as it currently stands - the property description is simply misleading users of what the end product is… in a big way... and by proxy Expedia are false advertising it... After assuring they'd help they have told me they won't be anything.

The property as advertised doesn't match what it in the following ways;
- The 'non seaview' rooms balcony isn't shown and is NOTHING like what is - faces a building so close you can touch it, 1/4 of size
- There isn't aircon. The compressor outside doesn't work so it's just a fan.

Another great discovery! We had a balcony overlooking the beach with only a very short walk to main square and tons of restaurants and shops. We will call the owner 'Mama Geo' and 'Daddy Art'. Despite our not speaking or understanding Greek, we found her to be so sweet and kind to us; She made us hot Greek donuts with honey in the a.m. Free parking underneath the hotel. One day we brought wine to our room and Mama Geo brought us a corkscrew and two glasses without our asking. The location is fantastic and rooms are comfortable. The shower in the bathroom is still a work in progress as there was no glass screen so water was all over including the toilet and T-paper. They are constructing still the hotel and it will be a fabulous place when finished. Wholeheartedly recommend for the price and good cheer.

Beautiful & friendly Hotel

The Geo Art Hotel was beautifully decorated. Very modern but simple and stylish, we were upgraded to a sea view free of charge which were very grateful and happy about. It was early in the season so the place was very quiet but we liked that! The owner was Greek lady and she was so helpful and really kind to us bringing us coffee and tea. Thank you so much.

There was communication issue at the end of our stay we didn't understand a request, we thought it was about payment but I explained we had already paid online. We did ask of we could stay 3 nights but in the end stayed with the original 2 nights we booked because we travelled North. At one point there no water so could not have shower but we understood the street had issues and were patient and the water returned eventually.

We would definitely stay again.. If you stay here you like like the owners and the room and its a prefect location and amazing for the price.

*only one thing we could suggest to improve the experience would be a kettle/tea/coffee making area so guests can make tea or coffee when they need*

But, that is a small thing.

So... Overall its a fantastic hotel 😊

Eu classificaria o hotel como uma pousada. O atendimento é gentil, quarto limpo, toalhas macias e tinha uma varanda com vista para a praia do centro de Himare, que é muito bonita. Há restaurantes e mercados a poucos metros da propriedade. O café da manhã era pequeno, mas honesto, porém apenas o café americano está incluído, demais bebidas deveriam ser pagas à parte, ressalva para um ventilador em frente ao buffet que era um perigo para levar sujeira para a comida, nós encontramos cabelo no queijo. A propriedade não conta com estacionamento próprio, mas a 300m tinha um onde custava 1000LEK dia. Possuem cadeiras disponíveis em uma linda e pequena praia a poucos metros do hotel, entretanto deu dó de ver a condição das espreguiçadoras e guarda sóis, velhos, sujos e surrados. Se você estiver de carro, sugiro se hospedar em propriedades melhores na região, por exemplo Livadi Beach tem hotéis 5 estrelas espetaculares.
