There
are hotels of every class and size and houses
and rooms to rent as well, on the island of
Lesvos. Prices are generally much cheaper then
on the more popular Cyclades islands, in fact many
are a bargain in comparison to more popular islands like Mykonos and Santorini. There is
booking information at the bottom of the
page. In most cases you are better off booking
with the agencies because besides giving you
the same rates as the hotel, they can also
handle your arrangements for flights, ferries,
car rentals and excursions and they can also
book your hotels in Athens. But I have included links to Booking.com and you can get rates and book instantly. The Hotels that are

The
Sea Horse Hotel
is right in the harbor of Molyvos,
overlooking the cafes and fishing
boats. All rooms have a balcony
overlooking the sea. It has a bar,
lounge with tv and the breakfast
room is actually one of the best
cafes in the harbor and serves
many styles of eggs, pastries and
has excellent coffees and espresso
for getting the day started. It's
a class C (2-star) but like many of the lower category hotels on Lesvos that are family run, feels like a higher category. The Seahorse has 27 beds which means if you want to stay here you should book quickly. There is airconditioning in each room.
Inexpensive and centrally located
the hotel is of very good quality.
Newly renovated, all rooms have
refrigerator, TV, air
conditioning, personal phone,hair
dryer and all balcony doors have
double glass windows. It also has
its own travel agency and
arrangements can be made there for
trips around the island on the
excursion boat Mercury Express.
They also have free wireless and a new taverna-restaurant right downstairs in the port.

Set amongst olive groves, just 50 feet from its own beach in Molyvos, 
Villa Molivos Views is a newly built, architecturally designed villa within close proximity to the historic and picturesque village of Molyvos. Offering a high level of luxurious accommodation, the villa is located in a quiet and beautiful setting, unspoilt by tourism, within easy walking distance of local beaches, restaurants,
shops and historic sites. With a mountainous backdrop, the villa has stunning views of Molyvos, its Byzantine castle, the bay of Molyvos, the Aegean and the Ottoman coastline. The contemporary design of the Villa rivals those on Santorini and Mykonos and offers a level of sophistication, rare to Lesvos. The design is open plan with sliding glass panel doors to create a seamless transition between the indoor and the central courtyard. An abutting building wing houses all bedrooms. 
Located on a beautiful estate, this traditional hotel offers a warm family environment and was one of the the first hotels in Molyvos, built in 1961. This picturesque Molyvos hotel started with 40 rooms and was extended and renovated during the 60’s and the 80’s. In 1988, Delfinia Hotel became Delfinia Hotel & Bungalows and managed to reach a total of 125 rooms and self-catering bungalows. The hotel has it’s own beach, which incidentally is the best beach in Molyvos. Right next to the beach is the hotel taverna and cafe bar and the large swimming pool with a spectacular view of Molyvos Castle. A second restaurant is located in the main building with dishes made with local ingredients and fresh meat and fish and a variety of traditional recipes made with the best Lesvos olive oil, accompanied by the sunset view and the sea breeze. All areas of the main building and the rooms, are decorated in traditional village style. The bungalows consist of 57 rooms decorated in a simple and elegant manner. Paths intertwine and bring you to the hotel’s vast garden.

Offering a garden, Little Bird Lesvos Apartment-Hotel shares the same spectacular hillside location and views as Bird's Bay Seaside Homes. Free WiFi is offered throughout the property. The units have heating and air-conditioning. The accommodation features a seating area. Some units feature a dining area and/or
balcony. There is also a kitchen, fitted with a dishwasher. An oven and toaster are also featured, as well as a coffee machine. There is a private bathroom with a hair dryer in every unit. Free private parking is available at the aparthotel. The beach and the town of Petra are a short walk as is the beach and town of Anaxos. 
The
Blue Sea Hotel
is right on the water in the
harbor of Mytilini town. The rooms
on the right side face the inner
harbor and the lights of the city.
The rooms on the left side face
the sea and the dock where the
ferry boats come in. If you are
like me then you will be very
happy with one of these rooms
because I love watching the big
ferries sail slowly into the
harbor and dock up, unloading
their passengers and cars and
trucks. It's like watching a
movie. Either side the view is
pretty spectacular so try to get a
room on the third or fourth
floors. The rooms themselves are
very comfortable. They have
air-conditioning but we didn't
need it since there was a nice sea
breeze blowing. There is a
television too but we never turned
it on since there is so much going
on in Mytilini town, with concerts
in the castle, cafes, bars, clubs,
and great restaurants, who needs a
TV, except to babysit your kids
for awhile. Breakfast is nothing
special but with a harbor full of
cafes and espresso bars who cares?
As for catching a ferry, no hotel
is more convenient. For prices and booking

Though not as upscale as the Pyrgos, the hotel Loriet is no less impressive an example of the 19th century architecture of the upper class Mytilinians. This grand old mansion was built in the 1880s as a summer residence at a time when Mytilini was a more important city than Athens. With a
marble staircase, murals and painted ceilings and antique furniture from the period, staying here is like a trip back in time, (except they have FREE-Wireless). The hotel is run by a Greek-Australian brother and sister who do a great job of making their guests feel comfortable. The Cottage, once the stable and servants quarters, has been cleverly restored and converted to three beautiful suites. The Apartments include a kitchenette, Mini Bar, full size baths and hair driers, TV and internet access.
But if you want a real treat stay in the main building. The Loriet has a salt-water swimming pool (with a waterfall) and the pine-shaded garden is a place you won't want to leave. You can take a bus into town and there is a small beach in front of the hotel (though it is unspectacular to put it nicely). However, if you have a car and plan to explore this part of the island the Loriet is a wonderful place to come back to each day. In the summer they have yoga seminars and other interesting things. Daily breakfast
includes cakes and pastries, jams and fresh fruit from the garden. I stayed here and loved it. I am guessing you will too and it is not expensive either. 
Only a short walk from the market, the port, the castle and Tsamakia Beach, the 4-star boutique 
The Heliotopos Hotel
is set back a couple hundred
yards from the beach
surrounded by fruit trees and
fields the greenest green I
have ever seen. It is a catagory A and consists of
three apartments and five studios
in two buildings run by a very nice American couple. Each apartment has a fully
equipped kitchen and on Friday nights guests and locals get together for a pot-luck barbeque in the gardens.
The hotel is within walking
distance of the restaurants
and nightlife of Skala Eressos
though if you are old and
feeble you may want a car.
There are bikes for children
and adults to use for free.
The apartments are
air-conditioned but starting
in 2001 the studios will be
too.The extensive garden is home
to many birds. One of these is
an African Grey parrot who has
a large vocabulary of
whistles, words and sounds.
You can sit on the balcony and
talk back and forth with him
across the garden. It is also
across the road from the
famous turtle pond where you
can actually feed the turtles
by hand.

This hotel was formerly a women only hotel which is now for everyone and it is all about location, which as you can see from the photo, is about as close to the sea as you can be. The hotel sits right on the pedestrian street that borders the beach where all the restaurants and cafes are. Sappho Hotel offers rooms
with Aegean Sea or mountain views. Ask for the sea view even if you have to pay extra. (The hotel is cheap anyway) The hotel has a snack bar on the beach and provides free Wi-Fi throughout.

Matt's Pick!
30 years ago Angie Saropoulos
and her husband George sold
everything they owned in
America and came to Plomari
where they built the Pebble
Beach Hotel. The hotel is
situated on beautiful Agios
Isodoros beach, has a full
restaurant and bar, both of
which are popular with guests
and locals. The hotel is very
tastefully decorated with
original paintings and prints
and rooms are very
comfortable, particularly the
sea view side. But what makes the Pebble
Beach special is the
personality of the owner.
Angie is a warm and engaging
person who makes you feel at
home in a far away place. She
has a love and enthusiasm for
her hotel and life in Greece
and she easily shares this
with guests. She is more then
a hotel owner. She is a
gracious host and her
customers return year after
year feeling like they are
part of the family.
The Hotel is a short walk from
the nightlife of Plomari. The
beach is clear and clean and
the small dock they have built
is a great spot for beating
the heat. Being on the south
side of Lesvos means that the
water is usually calm. The swimming pool is
salt-water and of course
popular with children
(especially mine). The bar is
alive with different
languages, particularly
English and Danish and her son
Jimmy keeps the entertainment
level high. (He also misses
baseball so bring your mitt
and a ball) Behind the scenes,
George Saropoulos keeps it all
together, from taking care of
maintainance to making his
special pizza which the hotel
restaurant is famous for. He
also lends a hand at the bar
and like Angie, George is a
ball of energy. But usually by
the end of the night you can
slow either of them down
enough to have a quiet
conversation about what it is
like to live in Lesvos and
what is going on back home in
the USA. If you are looking for a place
where you will feel welcome
and not like a stranger in a
strange land then I encourage
you to spend a few days
here. 
The Aphrodite Beach Hotel
is probably the best family
hotel I have ever stayed
in and in my opinion the best hotel on the island.
Located right on the beach in Vatera, one of the most beautiful and longest beaches in Greece. Immaculate with TV, AC,
balconies, phone, showers and
small kitchens. It is a C-catagory but as good
as an A-catagory and very reasonably priced. Owned by John and George
Hahathakis and completely family
run. John's wife Maria is Canadian
from near Vancouver and everyone
in the hotel speaks English
fluently since the are all from or
connected with Canada or the USA
through marriage or birth. The
entire family works here and they
all take great pride in the fact
that not only do they provide
excellent service but that they
are able to make people feel at
home. Very high percentage of
return customers that come back
every year.
There is a Greek taverna in the hotel. They
do Greek dance night with live
music (John was a professional
bouzouki singer and his father
plays too.) The last time I was there the hotel had a big party with roast suckling pig and Yiannis band played and everyone was dancing on the tables like a Greek taverna in Athens. Even the grandmother was dancing! The restaurant is
traditional Greek food and is excellent with a big and diverse menu
and very nice homemade dishes
which are all the mother's
recipes. (She works in the
kitchen with other members of the family). They grow their own organic
vegetables in the garden right next to the hotel, and the chicken, pork and lamb
comes from their farm. The fish is always fresh and they even have sardeles pastes in season. If you have children who you fear may not like Greek food you will be happy to know one of their specialties is pizza and even the locals come for it.
I think anyone who stays here
will be pleased especially if they
have kids because there are lots
of English speaking children
around they can play with. Plus they have something that is unique in Greek hotels but which I believe will soon be quite common. They have a trampoline. I would estimate that the children guests at the hotel spent more hours jumping than they did swimming. The parents enjoyed it too because it was right by the hotel's restaurant so they could relax, eat and drink and watch the children all jumping. I believe a lot of friendships were made in mid-air this past summer. Lots to
see in the area including
traditional villages and hot
thermal springs. But Vatera beach
itself is one of the best beaches
in Greece. The hotel has beach
umbrellas, beach chairs, paddle
boats, volleyball and they rent
bicycles which is great because
Vatera Beach is completely flat
and you can ride for miles. The hotel has a built in swimming pool, a children's pool and a pool bar, sauna, jacuzzi, exercise area and massage!
The Aegeon Hotel in Skala Kalloni is one of the
best kept secrets in Lesvos and has a clientele that returns year after year.
The rooms are beyond what one might expect for a C- Catagory hotel, clean,
colorful and tastefully decorated. The cleanliness of the rooms, the lobby, and
the pool are constantly maintained throughout the day and the grounds and
gardens manicured to perfection. Fresh vegetables, are used in cooking dinner each night, and are grown in the hotel's own garden. The staff would rival that of any major hotel and visitors tell of long nights of pleasant conversation with the owner, family and friends who receive high marks for friendliness and hospitality. The Aegeon is located at the very end of town, which makes the evenings very quiet, though the center of town is only about ten minutes' walk along the edge of the Gulf of
Kalloni past the beach and excellent fish tavernas of Skala Kaloni. Breakfast at the Aegean Hotel is ample, delicious and beautifully laid out.
The hotel has 47 luxurious rooms, all equipped with individual bathroom, telephone, radio, air-conditioning and refrigerator (after request) and comfortable balconies full of sunlight.
The facilities include a large outdoor swimming pool with children's pool. Spacious sunbathing area with sunbeds and umbrellas. Quench your thirst at the pool-bar. At the hotel restaurant the guest can taste - from midday through the evening - the Greek traditional cuisine (accompanied by fish and ouzo).
Only 500 metres from the beach, Aeolian Gaea Hotel perfectly combines luxury with a fusion of traditional and modern art. Overlooking the Kalloni beach, it comprises of a 4-building complex, along with a 225 m2 outdoor swimming pool. All air-conditioned units open to a private balcony and have a well-equipped
kitchenette
with fridge and cooking. Free toiletries and bathrobes are provided. Some accommodation types include a spa bath. Guests at Aeolian Gaea can start their day with a traditional breakfast, enriched with homemade marmalade, cakes and local products. Salads, pasta and gourmet dishes are served during lunch and dinner times at the poolside restaurant. Facilities include a fitness centre with sauna, and a playground for younger guests. The renowned Greek painter Ioannis Papaioannou’s frescoes in the reception
and the suites have captured the art culture of the island from the archaic period to the painter Theofilos and the modern era. You can see more photos, guest reviews and 
Located
just 300m from the beach at Skala
Kalloni, the Hotel Pasiphae is one of
the islands premier hotels

amenities necessary to enjoy your

luxury. The hotel consists of 60
