This property was very close to a beautiful beach for swimming. My daughter and I felt very safe walking around this family community where people were always saying hello and always engaged in chit chat with each other. Shopping was fun, especially if you love pistachios. There was a very beautiful ancient temple that we climbed up to. If was a very steep climb so I recommend anyone with mobility issues to take a taxi.

Right on the beach in Agia Marina
The location was literally a 1 min walk to a beautiful clean beach! The staff were friendly and accommodating. The room was cosy and clean. There are shops, restaurants and cafes just steps away from the hotel. Very good value for the money. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Room was a comfortable size with a large balcony. Location was great. The beach and shops were right outside. From this location you’ll be close to the temple ruins of aphaea and the church of saint nektarios which is a plus. The owner offers breakfast for 5 euro per person which we liked due to the convenience. Overall I would stay there again when visiting the island.

Great. Writing my only hotel review in 5 years.
I stay in hotels +300 nights per year. This is my first review. This is a very well-located (20 feet to beach), clean hotel run by two exceptionally friendly owners. They greeted me warmly. Gave me all sorts of information about the island. And left a nice Greek desert in my room while I was out. The next morning they helped me start my dead scooter. And I noticed they greeted me by name every time I saw them (not sure how they can remember names like that). Highest recommendation. This is the hotel to stay at on Aegina.

Wonderful place!
We could not have been happier with our stay at Hotel Rachel. It is a very short walk from the bus stop (maybe 2 minutes) and the minute we walked in the door, we were made to feel welcome and special. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the rooms are very comfortable. The beach is 200 steps away (I counted), and it is absolutely beautiful. The room had a hairdryer, fridge, kettle, iron and ironing board and air conditioning. The shower was lovely and hot. The breakfast was perfect - a huge choice of cereals, Greek yoghurt and honey, ham, cheese, eggs and a lovely variety of bread, which was so fresh from the local bakery that it was actually still warm! The hotel owners, Janis and Angelica, were the perfect hosts. The were extremely friendly and welcoming, and after being there for 5 minutes, we felt like old friends, not hotel guests. The lovely lady,ελπίδα, who works hard cleaning the rooms,could not do enough for us and our room was spotless every day. I can honestly say that I shed a tear when we left, as it had been so amazing. The only consolation is that we have already made arrangements to go back in September!

Getaway
It was a last-minute decision to get away and after a bit of research on Hotels.com I decided on Hotel Rachel and was not disappointed. It is a wonderfully run little gem, the owner's can't be more helpful, the room was perfect for sleeping off a busy day with a lovely view of the bay. The bugs were out in force but the hotel very helpfully supplies a plug-in bug repellent. The fridge is a lifesavernon a hot day, my frozen bottles of water got me through the day. The breakfast buffet is excellent. Highly recommend this hotel!

Lovely staff made us feel right at home as soon as we arrived. A generous breakfast. A quiet, peaceful location. Accidentally booked in here, meaning to book a hotel on the other side of the island - best mistake we ever made. The local bus was cheap and easy and a great way to see the island.

Yep!
Room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was good. I packed and planned poorly for this trip so I was a bit of a high-maintenance guest but Giannis was unfailingly patient and helpful with all my last-minute arranging. Internet service was also fast and reliable, which was a nice change from the standard advertised-but-barely-usable wifi provided in most hotels.

The hotel is nothing fancy but it is clean and comfortable. The location is great. What really makes this hotel something special is the service. It is family owned and ran. The people there were very friendly and went out of their way to take care of any needs we had. Definitely a few steps above normal.

Very friendly, helpful owners
Very close to main beach, ( 30 seconds to walk) rooms are good, but they are small, I was alone and with my suitcase it was not easy to walk past the bed, they don't have anywhere to put the case except in the room. Breakfast was traditional Greek, coffee was strong and plentiful. It was quiet time of the year, you could hear outside noises easily.

Great little hotel with excellent staff.
We enjoyed a warm welcome on our arrival at Hotel Rachel, with our hosts giving us plenty of information about the hotel and its surroundings. Any queries we had eg re bus timetables, were answered promptly. Breakfast was more than adequate, in a pleasant open dining area. Our room was small but adequate (the door lock needed some work). When booking, be aware that Hotel Rachel is at Agio Marina, on the other side of the island from Aegina town. We weren't aware of this and could have caught a different ferry, which arrives at A Marina. It meant, however, that we enjoyed a couple of trips to and fro across the island on the local bus and found this a great way to see more of the island.
