Dave by the Beach Loutraki, a Member of Brown Hotels

Dave by the beach is a pretty new hotel in downtown Loutraki. Location is excellent - 1 block (2 min) walk to the beach. Plenty of bars and restaurants in vicinity, as well grocery stores. Rooms are new, modern and spacious. Very comfy beds, TV, AC, coffee kettle, refrigerator and modern bathroom. Pet friendly. Our room was on the top floor with huge terrace with great views all around. However, there's no cover, no umbrella so in the day heat it's unusable. Parking is a big issue in peak season. It's almost impossible to find around the hotel, some 500 met there's a public parking if you're lucky to find space there. Breakfast seemed pricey so we didn't have it and I cannot comment it.

Great location and design but overall accessibility and customer experience is lacking. Brown Hotels lacks both customer centricity and cleanliness standards. Upon arrival for an extended 14 day stay we discovered our room was not as pictured on our booking and when kindly requesting to switch at any point during our trip we were met with a hard no - an inflexibility we’ve never encountered at any reputable hotel around the world. We also subsequently realised the air conditioning was poorly positioned and likely hadn’t been cleaned resulting in a nasty cold/bacterial infection. Not to mention daily cleaning was sub par with floors being dusty, bed sheets still wrinkled after they had been supposedly changed and dirty towels often left behind. While reception staff is lovely they have no authority. Its a cute budget option but nothing more.

This is a great hotel for a mini break or stop over for young couples. It basically ticks the boxes for convenience but that is about it. The biggest problem we found was parking your car anywhere near the hotel. It is located on a very narrow road and there is no place outside to drop cases, unless you block it and enjoy the wrath of the locals for doing so. I had two heavy cases that took me two round trips of 20 minutes to drag them to the hotel from where I eventually parked the car on a very hot day. It would be good if the hotel could communicate the parking situation and potential places to park, so new customers are aware. Apart from that, the staff are friendly and so is the very large dog that camps itself at the base of the steep flight of stairs to reception.

Fantastic bright new hotel .. comfortable clean rooms .. stuff nice and helpful. The only minuses .. no parking space,for the hotel you might need to drive many rounds to park or park in the municipal parking which is 200m away .. but not a big deal . Breakfast is not good but it is not their fault as the kitchen in the hotel is not yet ready and they have an agreement with the front taverna which is badly managed. Overall great stay

Very clean beautiful and spacious rooms. We had a partial sea view from balcony which was great. Very comfortable clean beds with extra pillow which were also fluffy. Loved the service, staff very friendly and helpful. Complimentary water coffee, tea sugar milk in the room. Very close to the promenade which is hosts a number of lovely restaurants.

Very clean. It needs an elevator from the street to the reception area

Worste breakfast No help for the high stairs No parking place
