The Bold Type Hotel, a Member of Design Hotels

The staff of this hotel is super service-minded. I had to change my dates last minute, and even though my rate was non-refundable, Mrs Athina very kindly moved my reservation to another date. I give my strongest recommendation to The Bold Type Hotel.

This is a lovely, stylish, small hotel in a restored building. I had a beautiful high ceilinged room on the ground floor which was tastefully decorated in a clean, modern style and there is good double glazing which blocks out most of the street noise. The staff were unfailingly helpful and polite. Breakfast was delicious and the menu offers a range of options which are not just your standard fare which I appreciated a lot. There is a nice garden at the back with a small pool which I am sure would be a great place to cool off in the summer. Despite the cooler weather when I visited, I enjoyed an afternoon beer by the pool in the sunshine. The location is not totally central, it is less than 10 minutes walk to the central square but there is a long flight of steps in the way. It is close to the Roman Odeon and the Castle and there are lots of restaurants around on Ifestou street (also down the steps). My one complaint would be about the functionality of the bathroom. It looks great but there is nowhere to put your own stuff. Whenever I see a hotel bathroom like this, I assume it was designed by a man who has never travelled with a woman with lots of different toiletries, make-up and so on!!

Definitely not a 5 star hotel. Staff very friendly. Breakfast fantastic. Only the taste of the food deserves 5 stars. The parking lot is on the street, very small and does not guarantee a place for all vehicles. Hygiene could be better. An example is that during the few days spent in this hotel, no one came out to the terrace to change the full ashtray, etc

The property is a unique boutique hotel converted from an old magnificent mansion located in the upper town of Patra, close to some very interesting Roman excavations and within easy walking distance anywhere in the center. The feel Is that of a classic old hotel. The rooms are spacious. The staff is excellent and were attentive. There is a wonderful restaurant bar area in the old courtyard behind the building which was quiet and provided a welcome respite in the evening and a wonderful breakfast in the Morning.

We stayed here for two nights whilst in Patras and delighted we did. The hotel is beautiful, with a gorgeous courtyard/garden area for food and drinks. Our room was spacious and tasteful, with every amenity catered for, and our complimentary drink on arrival was greatly appreciated after a long day travelling. Our balcony overlooked the Roman Odeon; perfect location. Breakfast was excellent and there was reserved parking right outside the hotel. The staff were all so helpful and friendly and a credit to the hotel. The location was great with sights, bars and restaurants all within walking distance. All in all a wonderful stay and I would certainly stay again if in Patras.
