La propiedad — Pierros Hotel
Pierros Hotel is a straightforward, family-run three-star in the Laganas strip's quieter southern edge. Think whitewashed walls, blue shutters, a small pool ringed by sun loungers, and a bar serving Mythos and club sandwiches. It suits travellers who want a clean, no-fuss base for beach-and-bar holidays rather than luxury or quiet solitude. Standing in the lobby you'll hear reception staff booking boat trips and the distant thump from clubs that wind down around 2am.
Crónicas de Zakynthos
Zakynthos Town (Zante) was founded by Venetians in the 15th century, who built the distinctive castle on the hill and left a legacy of bell towers and arched alleys. The 1953 earthquake flattened most of the old town; what you see today is a meticulous reconstruction in neoclassical style, with Solomos Square as its centrepiece. Modern Zakynthos lives off tourism and olive oil, with a young, transient population that swells tenfold in summer. Its contemporary identity is split between the town's quiet cafés and the neon-lit club zone of Laganas 8km south.

Peak / Festival Surge
July and August: school holidays and the August 15 Ferragosto spike push occupancy to 95%+. Hotel prices double from shoulder rates. The Laganas strip fills with 18-30 Brits and Italians; Zante Town feels overrun.
La temporada del hombro
May and October: May has 22°C sea and wildflowers; October offers 24°C air temps and emptier beaches. Rock-bottom rates at three-star hotels like Pierros, sometimes 50% off peak. Flights from major UK airports taper off in late October.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Pierros Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the second or third floor facing the swimming pool or rear garden. These are quieter, catch the afternoon sun, and avoid street-facing noise from the main road in Zakynthos town.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the lift lobby or the main entrance — these get foot traffic from other guests and staff. Also skip any rooms directly above the bar or restaurant (if you hear it operating late).
Best views
Rooms on the third or fourth floor with a pool or garden view have the best outlook. The address just says 'Zakynthos', so you might get partial sea views from upper floors facing south-west, but it’s a low-rise hotel so views are mainly of the pool and surrounding buildings.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are the quietest, being above street level and away from public areas. The fourth floor may be quieter still, but check if there’s a rooftop terrace or bar above.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from the main road in Zakynthos town can be constant — especially during summer evenings with mopeds and cars. The lift motor is audible on floors near the shaft, and the bar/restaurant area (if on-site) will have chatter until 11pm or midnight.
Insider tips
Check if the hotel offers a sea-view upgrade at check-in (often cheaper than booking online). For parking, ask the receptionist for a free spot on the street out back — the hotel’s own lot fills fast in high season.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
