Den lænkede Kristus-kirken

I stayed two nights at Lotus Center Inn in late April 2026 as part of a wider "odyssey" across mainland Greece. The hotel is well located a few steps from Monastiraki Square. The room was OK, but a detractor was the odour from the sewer occasionally coming up to the bathroom.

The room was clean, spacious, and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel is located right by the beach and has a private beach area for hotel guests. There is also a supermarket about 200 meters away, and Kalamata promenade is only around 10–15 minutes’ walk from the hotel. The swimming pool area was nice and large, but it was very noisy with many children, and the music was played quite loudly. I also noticed that people from outside the hotel were allowed to use the pool, so it did not feel reserved only for hotel guests. The bathroom sink did not drain properly, and there was very little equipment in the room, such as an electric kettle. Also, even as hotel guests, we had to order a minimum of €5 per person to use the hotel’s sunbeds on the beach. Overall, the hotel has a good location, clean and spacious rooms, and a nice pool area, but it could be improved when it comes to noise, room facilities, and guest-only access to the pool.
