Pros:

Ήταν μεγάλο και ευαερο

Cons:

Βρίσκεται σε περιοχή που ο δρόμος οριακά χωρούσε το αμάξι μας ( ένα αμάξι!)
Δεν το συνιστώ.
Ειδικά αν έχετε ευρύ αμάξι κινδυνεύετε να χτυπήσετε.
Δε φταίει το κατάλυμα..Ισα ίσα στο σημείο του καταλύματος το εύρος του δρόμου είναι επαρκές. κανείς πόσο μυαλό διαθέτουν οι άνθρωποι ( μιλώ για γείτονες...)

Pros:

Das Personal ist sehr nett und gastfreundlich. Wir haben abends oft an der Bar gesessen und uns unterhalten. Das Zimmer war sauber und wir hatten 1 kleine Küche drin mit allem was man braucht.

Cons:

Da wir zu dritt waren, hätte das Zimmer etwas größer sein können.

O cazare simplă,dar cu multe facilități
Pros:

Camera a fost mare și curată, balcon mare, piscină curată și chicinetă dotată cu tot ce trebuie, inclusiv cuptor electric. Am fost plăcut surprinsă să găsesc în dulap un fier de călcat . Cel mai mare atuu al camerei pe care am primit-o a fost cada din baie și astfel nu am avut niciodată apă pe jos după ce făceam duș. Zilnic se ridică gunoiul,iar prosoapele și lenjeria a fost schimbată la trei zile.
Aerul condiționat de plătește separat,nu este inclus în preț. În septembrie noi nu am avut nevoie.
Plaja se află la maxim 3-4 min. de mers, am avut și loc de parcare,iar taverne, magazine și o stație de autobuz găsești foarte aproape.

Cons:

Singura problemă ar putea fi străduță foarte îngustă pe care se află clădirea. Dacă aveți o mașină mai mare va fi greu de ajuns.

Φιλικοί&εξυπηρετικοί ιδιοκτήτες, θέλει ανακαίνιση
Pros:

Οι ιδιοκτήτες είναι πολύ φιλικοί και εξυπηρετικοί, προσπαθώντας να μας προσφέρουν το καλύτερο.
Το ξενοδοχείο είναι παλιό και απαιτείται κάποια ανακαίνιση, παρόλα αυτά ήταν πεντακάθαρο και αλλάζονταν τακτικά τα κλινοσκεπάσματα και η διαμονή ήταν ευχάριστη.
Αυτό που δεν μου άρεσε είναι ότι δεν ήταν κατανοητό εξαρχής και χρεωθήκαμε επιπλέον για το κλιματιστικό (5 Ευρώ ημερησίως).

Pros:

Die Zimmer sind etwas in die Jahre gekommen, jedoch sehr sauber.
Die "Herbergswirte" Manos und Nikos (Junior und Senior) sind sehr nett und zuvorkommend.

Das Zimmer ist mit einer kleinen Küchenzeile inkl. Besteck, Geschirr, Kochutensilien und Kühlschrank ausgestattet. Außerdem hat es einen Balkon mit Tisch, Stühlen und Wäscheleinen.

Einkaufsmöglichkeiten (Supermarkt und Souveniers), Tavernen und Bushaltestellen sind gut zu Fuß erreichbar. Der fußläufige Strand ist auch sehr zu empfehlen (sauber und gepflegt).

Pros:

I don’t have any negative comments at all. The host/owner is super friendly and also very accommodating. Hey, go and spend double and treble the price, that is your choice, but when you consider you are out most of the day and night anyway, why would you! For me anyway, a perfect stay and location.
