Pros:

Läget va bra

Cons:

När vi anlände så visade sig att vårt rum va dubbelbokat men dom påstod att det va skador. Vi blev förflyttade till ett annat hotel i 4 dagar. Sen blev vi väckta flera dagar kl 9.30 på morgonen för dom städar tidigt. Sen byter dom handdukar var 3e dag, vilket är dåligt när man är på badsemester och behöver duscha varje dag. Pool området va inte så bra. En enkel pool utan något och erbjuda vid baren. Varken alkohol fria drycker eller annat tilllägg. Dom erbjuder heller ingen parkering. På stalis gatan är det och stå på gatan. Inget hotell jag skulle boka igen.

Good value and great location for a calming experience
Pros:

It was much nicer than expected. The staff were friendly and personable. The pool was quiet and very big for a hotel of its size.

Cons:

Found a few hairs lurking throughout the room.

Die Lage ist perfekt. Würde wieder dort hin reisen aber in ein anderes Hotel.
Pros:

Lage ist perfekt. Pool ist schön aber man darf da nichts essen oder trinken.

Cons:

Unser Badezimmer war schmutzig. Jemand vor uns hat an die Badezimmertüre und die Wand daneben gekotzt. Am Samstag sind wir angereist und es hat bis Mittwoch gedauert bis das geputzt wurde. Auch das WC war sehr schmutzig und angekotzt als wir angekommen sind. Habe das sofort gemeldet und das wurde auch gleich erledigt…allerdings nicht vollständig. Die Wand und die Türe habe ich erst etwas später bemerkt. Frühstück ist auch nur solala.

Pros:

I have stayed at this hotel before and booked it again as it is in a perfect location and is very clean and comfortable.

Cons:

The staff are not friendly or welcoming at all. Upon arrival you are given a set of rules and expectations that for a hotel seemed a bit petty. When coming into the hotel we were scowled at on a daily basis and as I speak a little greek, I could understand that they were speaking badly about us and other guests. The general feeling they gave was that we were an inconvienience rather than paying guests.
Great hotel that needs staff who offer the greek welcome.

The worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in!
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Rude staff! Breakfast was awful and the rules in the hotel were outrageous! Had to to take your own plates etc back after eating and food was very poor!

The bar wasn’t open at the pool but not allowed to take your own so had to pay to use a pool at another hotel!

Asked to keep the room as I had a night flight and simply told No!!! Asked if I could shower somewhere and told to use the foot shower outside which was for cleaning sand from feet after going to beach!

Unbelievable and absolutely disgusted at staff and owners attitude!

Tolles sehr empfehlenswertes Hotel
Pros:

Sehr sauberes Hotel, grosser Pool wo man auch gut schwimmen kann. Die Zimmer alle mit Balkon, sehr komfortabel mit einer super funktionierenden Klimaanlage und guten Betten in denen sich sehr gut schlafen lässt.
Wunderschöne sehr gepflegte Gartenanlage.
Das Personal ist äusserst höflich und bemüht.
Das Frühstücksbuffet hat eine ausreichende Auswahl und wird bis zuletzt von der Frühstücksdame sofort wieder aufgefüllt.

Cons:

Gibt nichts zu beanstanden.
