Great Hotel
A great hotel in a perfect location to explore Kalamaki. About 300 yards and a 10 minute walk up to the main strip of bars and restaurants. Facilities at the hotel are excellent and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. Rooms were cleaned daily and the complex was spotless and well maintained. It has a lovely pool area with lots of sunbeds and chairs and a nice pool bar. We were bed and breakfast and the breakfast options were fantastic with anything you required. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for accomodation in this area.
Best hotel experience of 16 years going to Kalamaki
This hotel is very friendly. On arrival, we had a very warm welcome and were given a glass of water each which was very much needed. The porter then kindly took our luggage to our room for us whilst also showing us the main areas at the hotel, so that we all knew where to go.
The room was spacious enough for a family of four, with bunk beds for the children. The aircon was great and unlike other hotels, we were told to leave it on all day whilst we were out so that it would be nice and cool on our return. Our room was cleaned on a daily basis and our cleaner was fabulous (room 348). Cleanliness around the whole hotel was of a superb standard.
There is plenty to choose from at breakfast time and the pool bar also serves good food!
The main pool which is by the pool bar was of a good size. Sunbeds were mostly available - no reserved sunbeds before 9am and on most days, plenty to choose from.
The splash park was great for the kids (and us parents when needing a break from the water).
There is also an adult pool which my parents enjoyed throughout the holiday. I didn’t get to go often because of the children, but during the few times I did, it was lovely and peaceful.
The beach was extremely close by and only took us around 5 minutes to walk there. Shops and restaurants on the strip are not too far away either.
My husband and I have been going to Kalamaki for 16 years now, but this is our first stay in this hotel. We would definitely say that it’s the best we’ve stayed in. Customer service is great and really professional - nothing is too much trouble. All staff clearly work very hard to make the hotel what it is.
We had an all round great time. Thanks to all at the Marelen.
Great Holiday At Marelen Hotel

Lovely hotel with exceptional staff
Stayed for the first time at the Marelen Hotel in Kalamaki. The hotel is situated on a quiet road which is within easy reach of the beach. We were half board for 14 nights and on arrival we were greeted by the friendly reception staff and taken to our room with our luggage by Cleant who, I have to add, is a credit to the hotel. The room was a good size with plenty of storage. Bathroom was on the small side but had a lovely walk in shower. Spotlessly clean with fresh towels every day. Pool towels also provided which was great. Our cleaner was lovely and does a fantastic job, especially in the heat. Food at dinner and breakfast was varied with something for even the pickiest eater. Always fresh and tasty. The restaurant staff once again were all a credit to the hotel in their friendliness and efficiency. Lovely adult only pool with loads of loungers. No sunbed wars here! We didn't use the main pool but it was very well maintained and had a lot of loungers. We had lunch on our last day in the pool bar and it was delicious. Kalamaki is a short walk from the hotel with lots of bars and restaurants. We hired a moped for 5 days from Universal hire shop at a very reasonable rate. We saw most of the island which is absolutely stunning, especially the view of the shipwreck from above. All in all I can highly recommend the Marelen Hotel if you are staying in Kalamaki. It's a beautiful hotel with staff that are exceptional.

Lovely Marelen Hotel
Stayed at Marelen for a week with husband and 15 year old daughter. Hotel is lovely and spotless. Service from all staff is first class, nothing is too much trouble. We upgraded our room to a 2 bedroom apartment and it was worth it, had lovely balcony and spacious room. Double rooms are ok for couples but a bit small if you have kids on my opinion. Breakfast was excellent with everything you could want, warm good quality food and plenty of it. We didn’t do half board as there are lots of restaurants in Kalamaki that we wanted to try but we did have lunch a few times at pool bar. Pizza was fab and price was good too. No sunbed wars here, plenty of comfy loungers, always lots available. First hotel I’ve ever experienced no towels left on sunbeds. Only not given a 5 star for couple of reasons, the main pool is a bit deep so kids congregate at one end which is a bit cramped, would have liked if a bit more shallow for daughter to enjoy more. Only other thing that could improve is maybe having a bit more activity at hotel. Yoga only once a week and we missed it. Geared more for adults I would say but if you like good standards and a chilled vibe then you will love it. Kalamaki was fab with lots of great places to eat and drink, I will return. I would also come back to this hotel but maybe as a couple. Thanks to reception lady from South Africa for helping to upgrade and to all bar staff, who were excellent. Cocktails all freshly made and delish! A solid 4 star hotel that ticks all the boxes for a lovely relaxing week in Kalamaki.
