I've been coming here twice a year since about 1998. Nothing is too much trouble from this tremendously friendly family. To think that air-con, TV, en-suite are all standard fare is amazing. It's far enough from the town centre to make evenings quiet if you wish, but "night-life" is just a cheap taxi-ride away. Beaches are nearby; hire a bike from one of the specialist shops near-by (about a pound a day) and get the freedom of the island!
Liked: While the place is not as crazy as the description, that's a good thing since that description is a bit wacky although, to be honest, I did pick it for it hoping it wouldn't be as disorganized as the writeup. Go figure. Worked out well - the staff was courteous and friendly and the stay was very pleasant. Didn't like: Nothing
Liked: very helpful stuff, always smiling! Very good internet connection in the room. Didn't like: the toilet was completely dirty and also the bathroom was kind of disgusting.
Liked: its good and simple place . you get what you paying for. Great breakfast. people are very helpful. I will stay again Didn't like: no remote control for tv thats it
Liked: It was close to everything and the staff was extra helpful and nice. Didn't like: I found a roach in my room.
Liked: Really lovely, helpful staff. Didn't like: Nothing
Liked: V friendly staff, location, swimming pool, cleanliness, breakfasts Didn't like: Nothing
Liked: This place was wonderful! The older lady made me feel so welcome, even if she only spoke broken English and I spoke no Greek. The location is close enough to the city to make it an easy walk, 5-10 minutes, and far enough away that you can sleep very peacefully. The view from the balconies was wonderful. The pool was great and the sun beds, a nice getaway from the rock beaches. And breakfast was just a bonus! Plus, checkout wasn't until noon so you can sleep in until you feel like getting up! Didn't like: absolutely nothing. I'd love to come back and stay again!
Liked: Dimitri and Angelo - the guys on the desk and at the bar - are absolute champions! make sure you get a happy hour cocktail made by Angelo. and they can answer all your questions and give recommendations as they did for us. really close to the beach and lots of restaurants and shops within short walk as well as bicycle hire. close enough to the Marina but far enough to be out of the "touristy" area. pool out the back is nice and cool. breakfast spread is good - great authentic greek yoghurt. 24 hour reception and let us store luggage. A/C in the room. extra pillows and blankets in the room and our own balcony. free internet. book exchange in the lobby for a beach read if you forget one! not too far from the main bus station. Didn't like: TINY elevator. bit difficult to find the first time! couldn't take hotel towels to the beach. showers cold after a while in the morning. the grumpy old british couple who complained about noise at 7pm as if it were 1am!
Liked: It was exactly what I needed/was looking for. A nice, family run hotel with a beyond friendly staff that was close to the beach. The pool, roof terrace and free breakfast were just a plus. Didn't like: My only suggestion is that the staff put more detailed directions on their booking websites because I had a little bit of trouble locating the hotel.
Liked: The staff are really friendly and helpful. As a backpacker, I was able to afford my own room for a few nights which was a nice change from dorm rooms. My room was clean. The pool is nice. I like the location. All in all, a great place to stay. Didn't like: Nothing.
