We had an amazing time at Lofos Strani. The place and view were even more beautiful than we expected, surpassing what we saw in the online pictures. Our room was cozy, cleaned daily, and had a lovely balcony with captivating views. The pool was pleasantly uncrowded in September. They had tables scattered around the garden where we could relax, chat, sip drinks, and enjoy breakfast outdoors in the morning. Strani Hill was just a short 5-minute walk away, offering more breathtaking views. Initially, we walked all the way from Zakynthos town to Lofos Strani, which turned out to be a long and exhausting journey – not recommended. However, we later discovered a shortcut down to Plaz E.O.T, a street with stairs that made it a much quicker 15-minute walk back if we wanted to stroll from town. The staff was always friendly and willing to help with any questions we had. There's a small market nearby that stays open until midnight, which came in handy for grabbing a quick bite for lunch. One evening, we hiked up the hill (in Bochali) to the House of Lata restaurant, where guests of the hotel get a 15% discount, and it was a delightful experience with even more amazing views. All in all, Lofos Strani is a beautiful and affordable place to stay, and we highly recommend it to anyone seeking a delightful retreat with plenty of charm and convenience.

The breakfast wasn't as good as it looked in the pictures online. They served store-bought pastries, watered-down orange juice, and not-so-great coffee (there were some tasty things though, like the french toast or the vegetables and the olives and Lurpak butter). But here's the good part: it was super cheap, just 4 euros per person. After a couple of days, we got the hang of it and figured out what to eat. They kept refilling the food, so even if you're not an early bird, you can still get breakfast at 9 a.m. In short, the breakfast might not be as good as it looks in the photos, but it's a great deal at 4 euros. If you adjust your expectations and choose wisely, you'll be happy with it.

The hotel is located on a hill, in a quit place. You will need a car to go to the beach and to explore the island. It is very clean. Everyday they clean the room and every second day they change the towels and the sheets. The bed was confi and the AC was a bless. The wifi is also good. The view from the balcony is very nice. You can see the sea and the Bochali hill. The pool is a big one, the wather and the pool area were nice and clean. The breakfast was always fresh and tasty, homemade. It was the same everyday, but this didn't bother us. We had always something to choose. We loved the peace of this hotel, far from the noisy town. The owners and the staff are good people, always there to help you. They are a family. We liked them very much. There is a market and a coffe shop right on the corner.

Well laid out, clean and tidy throughout, and the swimming pool is great, good size, and a nice temperature, it was bliss. I was at one point the only one using it, nice. Hotel is close enough to town if you want to be there, far enough away for peaceful nights. Staff are great! Good selection of foods for breakfast, fry up, to fruit, and the breakfast dolmades are home made 😊 I expressed my appreciation to the kitchen members responsible (I’ve had tinned dolmades served in some restaurants) and she gave me an extra half dozen on a plate. The proprietor and all the staff are very helpful, happy, and kind.

Mosquitos!! They were gathered around my door as they entered. I knew it was going to be hell but fortunately there’s a shop just down the road, 10 euros later they’re mosquito corpses everywhere. Not the properties responsible but the shop was really handy!

Location is minus and plus at same time- while it is beautiful, peaceful and charming, it is also 15 minutes by walk on the hill from the center: environment is nice, but if you are without car it is not convenient,Stuff was kind and nice, room ok and are around hotel was nice, with a lot of greenery, and nice swimming pool. Good internet. Close market by.

As previously stated: there is no bus till hotel and it is not so convenient to walk on the hill after beach day. Also, property is pretty far away from Dionisius church, station for Banana beach, Kalamaki and many others. Although, if you are with car- ideal spot to be located on island!

Beautiful gardens and very charming traditional set up We loved it here ,so peaceful and relaxing The staff were helpful and friendly.My husband really enjoyed the breakfast each morning,whilst I was relaxing on the balcony.Excellent value for money .Mini market,cafe on the corner and a a great local taverna .Bochali square is 10mins away with amazing views and other options to eat and drink We will definitely return!!

Nothing .Everything was as good as I had hoped for The location is a little out of town if you don’t have a vehicle but you get stunning views for being on the top of the hill 😀

We really enjoyed our stay in Lofos Strani hotel, room was spacious and bright, also breakfast for 4€ per person were tasty, also we really loved the pool area, staff was very helpfull.

It seemed that towels were quite old and worn off, also shower water draining was not really good and it collects a lot water, so there are possibility that bathroom can be flooded a bit.

This is perfect for relaxation set outside of Zante town on the hill the pool was quiet during the day no need to fight for a bed you can walk to the town in 10min down hill a taxi back for 8 euro there a supermarket and restaurant at end of the road the staff are English speaking and look after you breakfast is excellent

No food available during day although there is a snack machine on site

Everything was perfect! Room is cozy, bathroom is well-equiped, the balcony is nice. The pool is very nice and clean. People here are very friendly, helpful and professional. They helped us with any problem we had. Food is made by them with love and passion. Location is very good, there is close to Zakintos and other main cities. I highly recommend visiting Lofos Strani, it's very nice place. If I come back to Zakintos there is no other option for me than staying there!

The kitchen could be equped better

We booked Lofos Strani almost last minute grabbing the only room left in the mid-August (3 nights). The hotel is very nicely located on the hill above Zakinthos town. It's quiet (with exception of some kids in the pool). The room was OK - it has ensuite bathroom with a shower. There's also a TV and refrigerator. Small balcony is a nice place to sit in the evening sipping wine. The pool looks good and provides a refreshing dip in the summer. The breakfasts were good - enough selection for everyone, food in most cases tasty. It's served under the roof (in area close to reception), so no scorching sun. Parking is large and we did not have any problems with finding a free place during our stay. All in all - very good stay.

Location on the hill means it's quiet but it also means that there's only one restaurant in the neigbourhood. To have some more options you have to walk down to Zakynthos town and the way back is... yep, you're right - unfortunately up ;-) If you have a car, my advice is not to drive to the town - parking there can be an absolute nightmare in the summer.

The staff is very friendly and useful. The rooms are fine and the breakfast is very good and very reasonably priced. It is a very good budget-friendly choice.

It's no walking distance from town, which is more uncomfortable as traffic in Zakinthos is terrible so you need a vehicle. But there are shops and restaurants around.
