Good value for money. Very good location in centre of village with pleasant swimming pool
I booked a triple room with balcony but was given a smaller room with no balcony. When I approached the reception and asked to be given the room type that I had booked for, I was told that the room had been taken by other guests and I had to make do with what was assigned. After much protest, the hotel gave me 2 small adjoining rooms without balcony.
To our disappointment, the air-conditioning unit was not blowing out cool air after 30 minutes of operation. The matter was only resolved when I approached the reception again when the receptionist turned on a switch (presumably for the condensing unit).
In short, the management would not give guests what they are entitled to and would only do so after you protest. Not in true hospitality spirit. Disappointing !
As far as I can tell, the only reason to stay at the Byzantion is to visit the site at Mystra. It's well located for that -- a very short drive to the parking for the main gate. It's also right by the handful of restaurants and souvenir shops that make up the current village. The downside to the location was that my room was right across the street from a restaurant where lots of people were eating outside so it wasn't particularly quiet during the evening and early night.
There's a small parking lot. Based on my stay, it's just barely adequate at night. (Much thanks to those who helped me with parking in an unfamiliar car.) The rooms are comfortable if not particularly generous in size. Oddly, the room while non-smoking had an ashtray, supposedly for use on the balcony. The breakfast seemed fairly standard.
The one real problem that I had was the wifi -- I could only get it working in my room for about 10 minutes late in the evening. It did always work in the lobby. Based on my interaction with the staff, I gather that they're aware that some people have trouble with the wifi but are puzzled.
This is a pleasant hotel in a good location about a 1km walk to the Mystrás World Heritage Listed site. The hotel has a great pool, does a lovely breakfast and is reasonably priced. Unfortunately some of the small details were overlooked like the light in the bathroom that didn't work and no hot water one morning because someone accidentally turned it off.
Hotel was centrally located in town of Mistras, right across the street from several excellent restaurants. We walked to the ruins; it was maybe a 15 minute walk from the hotel. Free and easy parking on the hotel grounds. Family-run hotel, and they and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. I did not have a computer with me, and needed to print an important item from an on-line site that I had forgotten to print prior to flying to Greece. They spent considerable time helping me find the initial site (it was different in Europe than in the USA) and then printed the document I needed. The hotel is ammaculate; breakfast, served on an out-door patio, was delicious; the balcony in the room provided stunning views of the ruins. I can't recommend this hotel highly enough! Not a single complaint! I have already recommended it to close friends.

Great location
Smack in the center of town - great views of Mystras from private balcony. Comfortable rooms and front desk staff knowledgeable and accomodating - free wifi was great but pool needs a good cleaning!
We arrived after a prepaid on Hotels.com reservation to be told they had a tour bus who had taken all the rooms. They did secure us a room a t a close hotel. Unfortuantely that hotel really was not ready for guests yet. The room was brand new. So new, there were electrical wires hanging out of the walls where im guessing light fixtures were due to be intalled; no thermostat (We lucked out that it was not very hot ro cold during our stay); adn no nshowere curtain. The owner was nto welcoming adn required us to leave our room key with him when we left the htoel to go eat in town or go for a walk.
Une chambre trop petite. Je ne dis rien sur la salle de bain. La situation de l’hotel est idéale pour visiter Mystras mais le confort des chambres est limite. Le personnel est attentif. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la piscine et la vie de village autour de l’hôtel.
