Marelen Hotel

Great Hotel with friendly and helpful staff! Highly recommended! Close to the beach, 2 minutes away. Definitely going back sometime, Perfect place to travel , won’t be disappointed Perfect Holiday!!

Stayed for the first time at the Marelen Hotel in Kalamaki. The hotel is situated on a quiet road which is within easy reach of the beach. We were half board for 14 nights and on arrival we were greeted by the friendly reception staff and taken to our room with our luggage by Cleant who, I have to add, is a credit to the hotel. The room was a good size with plenty of storage. Bathroom was on the small side but had a lovely walk in shower. Spotlessly clean with fresh towels every day. Pool towels also provided which was great. Our cleaner was lovely and does a fantastic job, especially in the heat. Food at dinner and breakfast was varied with something for even the pickiest eater. Always fresh and tasty. The restaurant staff once again were all a credit to the hotel in their friendliness and efficiency. Lovely adult only pool with loads of loungers. No sunbed wars here! We didn't use the main pool but it was very well maintained and had a lot of loungers. We had lunch on our last day in the pool bar and it was delicious. Kalamaki is a short walk from the hotel with lots of bars and restaurants. We hired a moped for 5 days from Universal hire shop at a very reasonable rate. We saw most of the island which is absolutely stunning, especially the view of the shipwreck from above. All in all I can highly recommend the Marelen Hotel if you are staying in Kalamaki. It's a beautiful hotel with staff that are exceptional.

Stayed at Marelen for a week with husband and 15 year old daughter. Hotel is lovely and spotless. Service from all staff is first class, nothing is too much trouble. We upgraded our room to a 2 bedroom apartment and it was worth it, had lovely balcony and spacious room. Double rooms are ok for couples but a bit small if you have kids on my opinion. Breakfast was excellent with everything you could want, warm good quality food and plenty of it. We didn’t do half board as there are lots of restaurants in Kalamaki that we wanted to try but we did have lunch a few times at pool bar. Pizza was fab and price was good too. No sunbed wars here, plenty of comfy loungers, always lots available. First hotel I’ve ever experienced no towels left on sunbeds. Only not given a 5 star for couple of reasons, the main pool is a bit deep so kids congregate at one end which is a bit cramped, would have liked if a bit more shallow for daughter to enjoy more. Only other thing that could improve is maybe having a bit more activity at hotel. Yoga only once a week and we missed it. Geared more for adults I would say but if you like good standards and a chilled vibe then you will love it. Kalamaki was fab with lots of great places to eat and drink, I will return. I would also come back to this hotel but maybe as a couple. Thanks to reception lady from South Africa for helping to upgrade and to all bar staff, who were excellent. Cocktails all freshly made and delish! A solid 4 star hotel that ticks all the boxes for a lovely relaxing week in Kalamaki.

This is the third year in a row we have been coming to The Marelen Hotel. It’s no coincidence that we do. The friendliness of all staff, the excellent air conditioning in the rooms, the quality and taste of the food with different themes of cuisine on each day. I was struggling with the breakfast coffee on morning one of our weeks holiday, and a kind gentleman explained the various settings. Unbeknown to me at the time, but this was the manager supporting me!!! Another manager even gave us a tin of decaffeinated coffee as the machine did not do this. We were met at reception when we arrived and paid the local tax for the week, before being shown our room. Each day we went to breakfast and when we returned our room was made up with fresh towels (where needed) as well as cleaned and floors mopped. The food in the evenings was especially good and all staff were super friendly. (Enos took great care of us). The whole complex was spotlessly clean and all staff were so friendly and helpful. This hotel is ideal for families and young children especially. We Will come back again.
