Castello City Hotel

Patra


The 17 rooms in this central business-style hotel are compact, but they are ultramodern and decked out in lots of taupes and greys. As such, it lacks any real Greek personality, but it's a drink's spit from the bars on the main drags and is convenient to everything. The cable TV has programs in lots of languages.
