Potidea Golden Beach Hotel

The hotel is near the beach, 2 min walk. The staff is friendly, clean bathrooms and air conditioning works. Easy to get to by car, available parking slots around.

The hotel is very old, all the facilities are old and used up. Bathrooms very small and showers uncomfortable. It looks like straight from 40s. Breakfast is quite poor, if you do not like sweets and meat there is nothing to eat...

The staff was SUPER nice, always available both at the reception and at the restaurant. The room was big and the view from the balcony was towards the seaside. The location is GREAT as you are literally 30meters from the beach and close to the Centre of Nea Potideia. There is free parking areas all around the hotel (meaning the car can stay anywhere anytime in the streets).

To be comfortable and efficient, the hotel would need entire renovation... the rooms are old, and even though very clean, they smell bad (due to the small fridge, which probably got the wood where it is located rotten + the bathroom’s pipes). After 8hours around Halkidiki, coming back to the room would mean opening up the balcony windows for 30min to have that smell completely out. Also, due to the age of the hotel, there is literally no soundproofing even when everything is locked.... thus you can hear people in the street, in the other hotel rooms, etc. The lunch selection is a joke... it costs 10euro per person, and you have a buffet concept. The problem is, that with that price you can go in the city in a nice restaurant to eat ! The selection of lunch buffet looks like my office canteen.... I don’t know about the quality, as I didn’t eat there once I saw it, but seriously there is no point in taking a “all inclusive” package as with nearly the same price you can eat fresh fish at the restaurants nearby the hotel ! Once again, overall me and my mother had a nice stay due to the extreme courtesy of the staff (Dimitris and Afroditis at the reception and the super nice young guy at the restaurant - didn’t catch the name) and the good cleaning of the place. If you are searching for a “traditional” and rustic hotel, this is perfect. Just be aware that the services / comfort of the hotel is a bit aged.
