We stayed at the Pink Elephant that is situated inside the walled city in May. The rooms were clean, very basic, cheap and a stone's throw from the medieval town. The lady in charge, Maria is Italian and speaks greek, french, englisnh and italian. Getting to the hotel is a bit of a challenge as the maze of small streets... More

We arrived in the evening and Mari was there to greet us. We walked from the commercial port and with the Rough Guide Old Town map in hand, were able to find the Pink Elephant without any problems. The room was on the ground level in the court yard. It was small but just as we had expected; full of... More

This place was ok, but the rooms were not very clean. The fan was a small desk one, so not much air circulation, so the room was very hot and stuffy.

The best part was our arrival, Maria was waiting for us with our room ready at 8am as we rolled in tired from an overnight ferry. The location is excellent and quiet. The breakfast was good. The only complaint is that the directions to find it were sketchy at best, and we found it mostly because we had a gps... More

Stayed one night in this authentic little pension. Location fabulous - in old town not far from shops etc. Room very basic - beds and basin. Shared bathroom and toilet. Unfortunately it was warm in the room so had to leave windows open - got very little sleep because of mosquitoes, dogs barking and aeroplanes overhead. My friends in another... More

On our two week trip, the first interntional flight was cancelled and we had to reschedule our entire trip. I called 10 days before the reservation and she still wanted to charge half of the hotel charge. If I cancelled one or two days before hand I would understand, this just seemed dishonest.

We stayed 3 nights in early October at the start of a tour of Rhodes, Symi and Turkey. We enjoyed our stay so much that we returned 2 weeks later for a further 2 nights to end our mini-tour. Mari, the owner, seems fluent in Greek, Italian, English and French so was able to help us a lot with recommendations... More

The Pink Elephant was my favorite pension from all my travels through Greece. The owner is welcoming and helpful, full of information about the city, and quick to offer any help needed. She recommended a great restaurant and a wonderful pastry shop in southern New Town, where the Greeks actually live! Breakfast was included with yogurt, honey, fruit, bread, and... More

We stayed at the Pink Elephant for 5 days last may and it was a lovely stay. The owner of the pension, is a beautiful person and had helpful tips on where to eat on what what to do and where to go. She was a great help when it came to renting a car and bus schedules. The pension... More
