  : The hospitality at the Hotel Egli and their entire hotel management team were the very best of our trip this year! Beautiful architecture, a fantastic old town location and topped off with a delicious freshly made breakfast every morning!

  : The decor and furniture is in keeping with the classical style of the building and makes it very attractive indeed. It's a great little hotel just off the main pedestrian street in Chora (Andros). At check in Maria, (who is a fluent English speaker (and other languages too I believe)) introduced me to the hotel and the facilities and told me that I mustn't miss the breakfast because it was "exquisite". Well.......breakfast is overseen by a second Maria. It was a confection of local bread, local cheese, an egg dish of the day - the first day was just the best - scrambled eggs Greek style, Greek yoghurt, fruit salad and nut mix and local honey, and the icing on the cake a selection of Maria's home made jams. I stayed four days and was unable to sample them all but highlights if you are on your way - tomato (yes tomato jam), fig, blueberry, orange with bergamot and apricot. Before my coffee I had a cup of herbal tea using local lemon verbena and sage. Really special. At check in Maria produced a home made glass of lemonade and on my last night I had the pleasure of sampling two home made liqueurs. During my stay she produced home made Spanakopita and pizza. I met Costas who also who works at the hotel and spoke about the ship owning history to the building and other interesting facts about Andros. Chora is a magical place for me and having discovered the Egli after many years I hope to be able to stay again in future. I would not hesitate to recommend this little gem of a place. Honestly, I was treated like family and Maria, Maria and Costas are just the kindest people. THANK YOU.
  : Nothing at all. But note that there is no lift at the property (Hotel Egli makes this very clear at booking) and there are two flights of stairs to the top rooms. Anyone with mobility issues should think twice or ask for the first floor. Also the hotel is right next to a church. If you stay for any length of time you will hear bells. They don't peel daily and they don't last - but you will hear them.

Very Good

  : Friendly stuff and very nice homemade breakfast!Location is nice as it is in the centre of Chora, but is a bit far from Batsi which definitely worths a visit at night.

  : Fantastic location in the centre of town. The staff were extremely hospitable and helpful in giving us tips about things to do. The balcony was a lovely place to sit in the evening. The breakfast was great with home made jams and drinks every morning and we even got treated to some wine and nibbles one evening. All in all, a very homely feel.
  : If anything, the bathroom felt a little bit dated, but it was clean and functional.

  : Hosts were very friendly and helpful. They helped with every aspect of our visit (places to see, things to do, places to eat, etc...) The breakfast was very nice (with some variation day to day). It appeared to be made from scratch on the premises. The location is on the main street (closed to cars) in the old town with lots of stores and restaurants within walking distance. It is charming. The hotel is in a historic building and beautifully restored/decorated.
  : If you can't handle stairs, this may not be the place for you. There is no elevator and lots of beautiful marble spiral staircase! Goggle maps will never get you close to this place. Advanced directions to public parking within a walkable distance weren't provided (and I'm not sure they would have been helpful if they had been provided as "available parking" seems to differ by day). Make sure you have a way of contacting the staff for help upon arrival. (They came by motorcycle when we called to rescue us (so we could follow them to the parking lot and show us where the hotel itself was). Expect to have to walk a considerable distance to the hotel with your bags.

  : The location is wonderful, right at the heart of Andros. The room was clean, quiet and comfortable, but what really made our stay was the kindness of the staff. And the superb breakfast!
  : The church bells in the morning (at Easter time)
