Honestly it was one of my best visits to Greece! The hotel is perfectly located right next to the beach (there are several beaches though, both by cliffs and with sand), the staff is very friendly and helpful. Everything you need is located just 50 meters away - shops, cafes, restaurants. The room is clean, renovated and spacious enough for a couple, the balcony is big too. We had absolutely zero problems with bathroom or cleaning, WiFi was also working properly throughout our stay (as I work online and have to make video calls, it helps very much!), as well as a/c. Moreover, you can hike up to the Temple of Aphaia (takes from 30 min to 1 hour) right from Agia Marina, which is a very amusing experience! And last but not least is that you can get to Agia Marina by direct ferry from Athens - it takes you only 30 minutes! And then you can walk from the port for around 2-3 minutes to get to the hotel. Big thanks to Giannis for this comfortable and amusing stay!

Everything was great!

Steps from the beautiful beach. I liked the large balcony, handy for drying clothes and relaxing. We had a view of the sea also. The owner did everything to accommodate our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids). We had rooms one next to the other. Accommodation was very basic but very clean. I read previous reviews and I feel like they were too exaggerated. I didn’t think bathroom was super tiny, it was small but no problem. Shower was also old but worked great, no problem for us. AC worked great and had many settings. There was a small fridge and cups/glasses. The balcony had enough chairs. If I were to do this again I would not go with their breakfast option as there is amazing bakery few steps away where you can get very good morning pastries (spinach, cheese, pistachios, sweet, sour etc), there is also a breakfast place right there if you want a normal good breakfast. The motel’s breakfast didn’t have much choices, coffee did not taste good, I was not able to drink it :(. They did offer some cereals and eggs, and some bread and cheese. The best option would be just to book the room without breakfast and enjoy local places up the street.

Our family was ok with everything Hotel Rachel offered. We would be ok booking this place again in the future. I was concerned after reading bad reviews but for us it worked out great!

The location of the property is great , up the street a 2 min. Walk there is a market , right across from that there is a bakery (bread, spinach and cheese pies are amongst so many wonderful foods , coffee places and Tavernas are everywhere and the best part , the spectacular beach is a 2 or less minute walk . My room was clean and the sheets smelled so fresh !! Loved everything about my stay . The owner Yiannis was also very friendly and helpful. Definitely would stay there again!

There wasn’t anything I didn’t like .

The location was really amazing and as many others have written, the owner Giannis is a remarkable man doing everything to make his visitors happy. There was a kettle in the room as promised but on request Giannis also provided cups etc - our comfort was always his priority and clearly guests really enjoyed him. The cleaner was always friendly and worked fast and efficiently when we were in the room. Within a 100 m there was an endless variety of super friendly restaurants and the beach cafes were also a great option. We have always loved Aegina and now Agia Marina is our favorite resort on the island. September going into October is a perfect time.

The bathrooms are tiny but one can learn to cope and as the water supply is excellent the tiny shower is still pleasant.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the one-star Rachel Hotel in Agia Marina, Aegina. While it may not boast luxury amenities, it offers a delightful experience for budget-conscious travelers. Here’s why: Immaculate Cleanliness: The hotel is well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable stay. Warm and Welcoming Owner: Giannis, the owner, is incredibly friendly and attentive. Whether it’s recommending local attractions or helping in arranging transportation, he’s always there to assist. Prime Location: The Rachel Hotel is perfectly situated—just a stone’s throw away from the main street and a mere two-minute walk to the stunning beach. You’ll find restaurants, grocery shops, and even the harbor nearby. Speaking of which… Harbor Connections: it’s not the main harbor in Aegina, so check ferry connections from Athens or just contact Giannis 😀 Family-Friendly Atmosphere: Traveling with my family was a joy at the Rachel Hotel. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple, or a family, the Rachel Hotel offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. Book your stay—you won’t be disappointed! 🌴🏨

Nothing really 🤔

- good location close to the sea, supermarket and harbour. The trail to the Athea temple starts very close to the property too. - clean and well maintained - good internet, no problems with hot water - good responsible host. Got a great free upgrade of my room (first floor with balcony and part sea view). - large fridge and electric kettle in the room, kitchenware available on request, convenient for self caterers.

nothing really, a perfect stay. Note though that due to the proximity of other hotels and restaurants, the place may get noisy in high season (but was very quiet in mid April) - (minor) a larger desk in the room instead of the mirror would be good (there is already a large mirror in the bathroom). - (minor) would be good to have the room service not around 3 pm when one is just back from hiking but around 10-11 am.

So charming and so hospitable were the hosts! They also have the nicest store attached! They are really wonderful hosts and what a tremendous stay. And I known how much I was going to love it I would’ve booked more nights before going elsewhere. A real fine.

It didn’t bother me that the hotel rooms were a little bit dated because they were super clean and so cute and kept up nicely— for a solo traveller couldn’t be better

The proprietor went out of his way to make our stay a really pleasant and comfortable one.Thank you! The lady who cleaned our room was marvellous, too.It was always lovely to go back to , after a day at the beach. Hotel was quiet , and comfortable. Location in Agia Marina is ideal for both the better stretch of the beach and also restaurants and various shops on the main road..

The bathroom was somewhat small and needed some renovation , but otherwise fine and clean.

I had a good time in this hotel, I’m very happy and I will come again. All was perfect, very clean, delicious breakfast,very quiet, also very friendly. The clients are quality, that makes every time beautiful. I recommend this hotel to come near the sea to be your holiday like a dreams

My stay at Hotel Rachel was a delightful home from home. Lovely welcoming and friendly hosts, Giannis and Angelica looking after me and being so helpful, nothing was too much trouble to make my stay so enjoyable. I had a lovely double room with balcony and view of the beach, just a 2 minute stroll away. Giannis was very generous to me, I hadn't included breakfast in my booking, and he gave a daily breakfast for me free of charge. Lovely thing to do! Hotel Rachel is in the centre of Agia Marina, a short walk to the beach and local bus stop. The street is quiet and very pleasant to sit outside at the hotel's tables and chairs provided in front of the hotel. Agia Marina has many restaurants , cafe's and shops all open when I visited in May. The beach is lovely, situated in a beautiful bay, with sunbeds , umbrella's and cafe's, restaurants to give you everything you need. The people are lovely and welcoming and made my stay so memorable. I preferred Agia Marina to the main town Aegina Port, nice though it is.to visit.You have everything you want in Agia Marina and I am so glad to have stayed at Hotel Rachel. Lovely, caring host's Giannis and Angelica will look after you, in their outstanding hotel.

There was nothing I did not like. Everything was perfect for me.
