Doryssa Lithos

Very fresh and good hotel. Simple, but still very nice and clean hotel. The staff is very nice and the manager super friendly and helpful! Extra plus for the nice gym, that there are some parking spots in the hotel area (unusual for Pythagorio). Also the breakfast was good. We enjoyed staying on the hill with the nice views, the walk down to the village was just fun. And the way up from the village is just good for your health! :-)

Note, the Doryssa has numerous locations on the island including the Lithos, Method and Seaside. Due to a flight issue, we initially stayed at the Method Hotel, which turned out to be fantastic in every way — from the friendly and helpful staff to the well-designed, comfortable rooms. We truly enjoyed its convenient street-level location and vibrant atmosphere. Our next four days was booked at their pricier sister property, Lithos, perched at the top of the hill. We were told that if we loved the Method, we would be “wowed” by Lithos. Unfortunately, our stay was extremely disappointing. Our first night at Lithos was uncomfortable because the AC didn’t work, making the room unbearably hot. The next day, after a long day at the beach, we looked forward to relaxing by the pool with drinks and snacks before dinner — but again, we were let down. The pool area didn’t have enough lounge chairs, and food service stopped at 4 pm with drinks ending at 5 pm, which is surprisingly early for a hotel of this caliber and price point, especially given its hilltop location. There was nowhere else nearby to get refreshments without trekking back down to town. Ironically, the Method Hotel, right in town, offers bar service and food until 11 pm, making it far more convenient and guest-friendly in that regard. While the day manager at Lithos was pleasant, the afternoon and evening front desk staff, as well as the breakfast team, were unfriendly and seemed uninterested in helping guests or sharing information about the island. We also booked the “Greek Night” at their Seaside location, but despite paying cash in advance, our reservation was lost. The staff there was equally unfriendly, insisting we hadn’t paid, making us wait 30 minutes, and finally seating us so far away from the entertainment that it felt like we were in a different restaurant. The food at the event was very good, but the entertainment was mediocre at best. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend Lithos. Stick with the Method Hotel — it’s more affordable and offers much better service and atmosphere. The one highlight at Lithos was their excellent gym facility, which was truly fantastic.

We had a great stay at this hotel. Staff is really kind and thoughtfull. Room was very clean and new. Breakfast very extensive. the location of the hotel is very nice and we liked the fact that it is very small-scale. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

Lovely hotel, very modern. Room and bathroom very comfortable, lovely sea views. Included breakfast very tasty and varied, by the pool. Lovely pool. Excellent gym - really well equipped! 12 min walk to the port and beach. Cannot be faulted!

Det hyggeligste lille hotel tæt på byen. Lækker morgenmadsbuffet i de smukkeste omgivelser. Vi fik en velkomst lemonade da vi ankom og vores kufferter blev hentede ved bilen. Vi har kun rosende ord til personalet og hele opholdet. Stor anbefaling herfra.
