Sehr gerne wieder
Pros:

Yannis und Cleo sind wirklich sehr herzlich, freundliche Menschen. Die Lage war super. Strand Nähe 5 min zu Fuß. Malia Meile 2 min und dennoch ruhig, da es in einer Seitenstraße ist. Alles was man braucht, findet man direkt beim Hotel.

Cons:

Klar, ist ein wenig älter. Aber für den Preis, war das absolut in Ordnung.

Fantastic Location and Outstanding Service
Pros:

The property is quite old, but the location is fantastic and relatively quiet, despite being next to a busy street. Close to the beach, shops, and restaurants. The air conditioning works very well, the bed is comfortable, and basic amenities are provided. Towels were changed twice during my week-long stay. Cleanliness was exceptional for this type of property. Excellent communication with the hosts throughout the stay. Yanis and Cleo are incredibly hospitable, helpful, and kind. On arrival, a cold sweet drink was waiting for me, which I really appreciated after a long journey. Their dog Sparrow is wonderful. On my last day, since my room had to be prepared for new guests, I was given another room to shower, change, and store my things while I went to the beach. Later, Yanis even gave me a ride to the bus, so I didn’t have to carry my heavy suitcase in the heat. Highly recommended, and I will definitely return.

Freundliche Gastgeber, tolle Lage
Pros:

Tolle Lage, sehr nahe zum Strand, trotzsem sehr günstig. Das Zimmer hatte alles: Klimaanlage, Dusche, Balkon, sogar einen Kühlschrank mit kleinem Willkommenageschenk! Die Anlage war sehr gepflegt, ein toller Garten! Das Highlight ist aber das Personal. Die Hotelbesitzer sind freundliche, ehrliche Menschen, die seit Jahren im Geschäft sind und sich viel Mühe geben. Man fühlt sich gut aufgehoben und sehr nett behandelt. Ich komme gerne wieder!

Cons:

Leider war die Straße rund um die Uhr sehr stark von Touristen befahren, vor allem mit Quads. Die hinteren Zimmer sind bestimmt etwas ruhiger, dafür fehlt der Ausblick auf die schönen Berge.
