Definitely the location. Taking the ferry from Perama Port in Athens to Salamis Port which is about a 20-minute trip that costs about 1.20 or 1.70 EUR/adult, then taking a bus from Salamis Port to Votsalakia Hotel about 10-15 minutes by bus with 1.70 EUR/adult ticket price. The hotel's location is amazing as the beach is just across the street. We stayed there for 7D6N in total and in between those days we rented a car which I do recommend as the island itself has a lot to offer. The breakfast was free which is always appreciated of course especially if you're staying longer than a day. Our room had a kitchenette which was good, especially with 2 kids in tow.

The thing that kind of disturbed me though was there was no dishwashing soap, no cooking oil, salt and pepper, sugar, and a knife. These things I think should be standard when one has a kitchen and stays for almost a week. Even in small packets or sachets. So we ended up buying those which is an extra cost of course. Otherwise, I recommend this place if ever you pass by Salamis island.

We realized that this was the most desirable location in Selínia after driving around the area. It was less crowded and had restaurants very close, as well as bakery/coffee shops, markets & a beach to swim in. There is also a small pier with boats & a water taxi that provided an awesome picturesque view. Although the furniture was not very comfortable, our apartment was very stylish and spacious. The beds were extremely comfortable and seemingly new. There was a washer in the bathroom but we didn't know how to operate it or plug it in.

We asked the attendant to come to our apartment because we had many questions, but he never responded. Missing were: hairdryers, dish clothes or dish soap, washcloths, coffee pot, bathroom toiletries, instructions to use washer, drying racks, no ice since there was no freezer in the refrigerator, no instructions on stove & oven use, no water in the Hot tub, no bath matts for slippery tub.

The location is amazing! And I could go jogging in different directions and climb the hills. Almost no traffic. The breakfast was a very good spread of cold and hot selections. The rooms were clean and cozy and had amazing view of a quiet tiny fishing harbour. The square was 100m away with 3 great spots to have dinner, coffee and Gelato, or drinks and even a Cafe. The island is quiet and friendly with plenty to do if you want to or just have rest with peace and quiet. The waters are crystal clear and do not smell like fuel or fish or rotten stuff. The owner even gave us a lift to the ferries on our check out day and paid for it! What a nice man and he gave us good pointers ons how and where to travel to save time and reduce stress.

The matras on the bed could be firmer.

Good location, beachside. Many people swimming. 2 mins walk there is a cafe where you can get coffee, gyro shop for souvlaki and a periptero to buy water, smoke and other things. The spa and sauna is located in the property next door. The little balcony had great ocean views. You can also catch a bus from the limani to the hotel which is great if you don't drive. The room was small but practical, air conditioning was a perfect escape from the outdoor heat.

There are coffee making facilities but no coffee was available.

The view from our room was spectacular! The bed was very comfortable. Town square, only a block away was so sweet and interesting with restaurants and a store with great prices for beer. This hotel is a family run business and they were lovely and welcoming and accommodating to our needs. The breakfast was very good with lots local treats and choices.

Only the room we had, had its door opening at a difficult direction. It would have been easier to access the room if it opened from the other side.

Selinia is a wonderful place full of nice people including the owners of Votsalakia Hotel & Suites. We chose a simple room, but it was clean, stylish and the closeness of the sea was amazing.

Noisy neighbours can make the stay uncomfortable. Luckily we only experienced it at the very end of our stay.

Everything. The family who runs it, turn a older building into a laid back, yet stylish boutique hotel with attention to detail. When they saw me arrive with a bicycle, I got a free upgrade to one of their rooftop rooms with my own terrace including a brand new jacuzzi overlooking the bay and the Athens skyline. I was so relaxed, I even forgot to return my room keys when checking out. Even here they were so accommodating, they told me not to worry and simply send it back to them with a local courier. The area is also nice with laid back bars and restaurants that are a welcome change from busy Athens…

Not a bit

One of my best ever staying in Greece. Votsalakia hotel is located in the small center of Selinia, just in front of Salamina sea (the ocean sound will accompany your night) and very close to the sea church of Aghios Nikolaos, where a nice, sane and vibrating local life takes place every evening. Beatiful beaches are just there, but if you like you can discover others moving towards south along the coast. The southern part of Salamina is still a wild isle, with archaeological sites dating back to the Mycenaean phase, and it will surprise you. The courtesy of the Votsalakia hotel staff has been beyond my expectations. The rooms are confortable and clean.

Nothing.

Great value for the money, the executive suite was very spacious. Also, the washing machine was a big plus for a long stay in a small town. The cafe next-door is great and cheap if you don't want to have hotel breakfast. The hotel is located right across a nice beach and the views are very beautiful.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location was perfect, offering stunning views of the sea. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making me feel welcome throughout my stay. The facilities were also top-notch, providing everything I needed for a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
