Des Roses Hotel, Platanias Overview

Des Roses Hotel is a 2-star hotel in Platanias, Greece. Rated 8.4 out of 10 based on 101 guest reviews.

Des Roses Hotel is a simple, budget-friendly 2-star base in Platanias, Greece, set on Epar.Od. Argalastis-Platanias 1054, where you can reach the shoreline quickly and keep your days flexible. Guests typically appreciate the practical setup for short stays: air conditioning for warm afternoons, heating for cooler evenings, and a 24-hour front desk that helps when plans shift. WiFi is available, and many visitors mention it as a reliable way to stay connected while exploring the area. The on-site restaurant and room service add convenience when you want to eat without leaving the property.

Reviewers often describe the hotel as calm and straightforward, with guests pointing to the value for money and the ease of coming back between beach outings. Some travelers highlight that the surrounding area feels low-key compared with bigger resorts, which suits travelers who prefer a quieter rhythm. If you’re planning day trips, the location works well for nature-focused itineraries: Agia Marina Beach is about 7 km away, while the Omalos Plateau area is roughly 33 km from Platanias and is commonly used as a gateway toward Samaria Gorge (also around 33 km). Platanias Beach itself is essentially next door, making early swims and late strolls realistic.

Des Roses Hotel is best for solo explorers and couples who want an uncomplicated stay near the coast, as well as families looking for a practical base with parking and straightforward services.
