We had a slight problem getting to the hotel but Panos, one of the three brother owners, raced down on his bike, dealt with the issue for us translating as he went, then scooped up our heavy bags on the back of his bike and brought them and us safely to the hotel.

You hear of friendly service but this was something else.

Throughout our stay the brothers were obliging, helpful and full of charm and self-effacing humour. We learned a lot about the area from them over long chats - they always have time for guests.

It was a wonderful place to stay and we look forward to going back some day in the future for a longer stay, just to enjoy their hospitality.

The Zoto brothers were very gracious and helped us with directions, other information, and great service. Breakfast was very good and plentiful and you can't beat the wonderful patio and the views while you eat! Our room was very clean and plenty large enough. Views out the window to the harbor and down into the old town were excellent. Great location for walking tours to beach, old forts, old town and even over to the new town. Perfect place to stay to use as a base to Epidavrous and Mycenea. And an easy drive to Athens airport when we were ready to leave. Price reasonable, service great, location excellent. We would stay hear again!

Pension Marianna was an excellent place for the group I was traveling with. I stayed there with a group of 20 students and 2 other professors on part of a study abroad program that began in Istanbul and ended in Athens over a period of three months. The service was excellent from the very start. The location of the hotel is ideal with a great view of the city. The breakfast was one of the best I have experienced. The staff is wonderful to work with and met all our needs perfectly. We felt very welcomed from the first moment we arrived until the time we had to say good bye. I am looking forward to my next visit to Nafplio and the Pension Marianna. I highly recommend this hotel.

On our Grand Tour in March we arrived in Nafplio using it as a base for Epidaurus and Mycene.Pensoin Marianna was an obvious choice for its location above the city with splendid views of the harbour and fort and ouiet too. The Zotos brothers did all they could to make us feel welcome and provided us with lots of good advice and timetables for our trips since we travelled by public transport. Our room was large and had a good bathroom .There were seats on our front porch with views of the harbour. Clean and very comfy. Certainly worth climbing al these steps for.Busstation and restaurants nearby.
