We just sat in the bar outside and ordered a bottle of water (we were exhausted from climbing the fortress under the scorching sun). The lady asked me with hostility if we were going to order only water. When I paid by card (didn't have cash) she turned very aggressive and insulting. Never experienced such a miserable hospitality in this wonderful country.

Very rude, hostile and unprofessional owner

I understand the location of the hotel, as in it’s built into a mountain, but it was infested with woodlouse. There were over 200 dead and alive woodlouse in our room. They were in the bed, towels and EVERYWHERE. 
Upon arrival we were shown our room and the man just kicked the dead ones aside and shrugged. 
The breakfast was poor, the worst I have seen in my 30 years of travelling Greece. 
There was some confusion at check out and the way it was dealt with was atrocious. The man on reception was rude and obnoxious. 
Great location but I would avoid at all costs. 

Infested with Woodlice 

We enjoyed our stay here and loved the view from the balcony of our room. It is a bit of a slog to get to the hotel with luggage. Definitely use the porters waiting to help you at the castle gate…they were detained when we arrived, but we did hire one for the way out!

Lovely castle at the very end of the road!

Very comfortable beds and very charming stone room. The view from our terrace was amazing and the guy at the desk was very  pleasant, smiling and helpful. The hotel is at the far end of the town so it's a long walk if you have heavy luggage. I liked the quite location at the edge of town and they light the ramparts side wall at night. View is stunning. I'll try and post my photos

Incredible view and cool room.

Totally loved this hotel located in an amazing spot within the ancient castle walls of Monemvasia. The location and views are mesmerising, the rooms lovely. Good breakfast and friendly, helpful staff. Very memorable stay in a really astonishing part of the world.

Amazing place

Beautiful hotel in an historic mansion overlooking the ocean. Truly deserves the title "boutique hotel": a lot of furniture was made especially for the room, as well as the windows, all in quality wood. Not a spot of paint on the wood, great attention to detail. Very clean, actually spotless. Great breakfast in beautiful room. We slept in two different rooms: one with a high beam ceiling with a terrasse looking out to the fortress and the sea, and another one on the ground floor that looked like an antique cellar: spectacular! The hotel also had a cafe that was really sought out because of its great location. I highly recommend!

First, the good. The staff at Bastione Malvasia is friendly and welcoming. The location of the hotel is great. Yes, it is at the end of the main street, so farther to walk, but it means you get unobstructed views of the city wall and see and it is exceptionally quiet at night. Our private terrace, as well as the terrace for the hotel cafe, was stunning and relaxing. This hotel also had the best mattresses and bed linens out of anywhere I have ever stayed in Greece. The toiletries and water pressure were good, as was the wifi signal. The room was a triple, and was very spacious with a bed upstairs and downstairs and unique features like rock right in the room. 

However, the room did suffer, probably due to its location in an abandoned town on a rock. From dusk til midmorning, our room was full of pill bugs. I was okay with this, as pill bugs are harmless and good for the ecosystem, but there were over 15 - in my bed, on the walls, on the floor where I stepped. Not sure the hotel could help it, but I will say the doors did not seal well and there were no screens in the doors. I hike and camp and was fine, but I think many people would not be okay paying 110 Euro a night (good value otherwise) to sleep with bugs. The only other issue we had was that you were not allowed to take your breakfast to the terrace because it is part of the cafe - you must eat inside, which due to COVID, we did not prefer. The breakfast was high quality though, and the windows were kept open.

Excellent, with a few caveats...

Our room was split levels, the inside was carved in the rock, beautiful view over the sea, quiet and secluded. The setting of the hotel is stunning, slightly away from the hustle of Monemvasia which can get very busy and overwhelming. However it is only a couple of minutes walk from the restaurants and bars. Would love to go back!

Beautiful hotel in a stunning location

This hotel as several buildings in the old Castle but the Bastione buildings and especially Room 8 have the most amazing location imaginable.  As Monemvasia gets more touristy over the past years, there are tons of people and touristy shops as you enter the town, but this hotel is all the way at the end of the main street at the end of the town near the enclosing wall so it's quiet and peaceful and beautiful. We had a gorgeous balcony with amazing views over the old town and the water. It was hard to leave to explore the town. Amazing early morning color on the buildings seen from the terrace. The room and features were great, the breakfast buffet was terrific, and the hotel staff were very helpful in recommending a terrific restaurant that was so good we ate there both nights.

It just doesn't get any better than this!!

Wow...the most amazing location for your stay in Monemvasia

Just finished my stay at this incredibly restful hotel. It’s a perfect place if you’re looking for nothing but de-stressing and relaxation. The scenery is gorgeous and Monemvasia is a beautiful location. There are great restaurants on the island, too.
