Alkyon

It was incredibly frustrating to go for an early morning swim when the pool opened at 8am to see towels on all of the sunbeds in the sun. This would be fine if there were plenty of sunbeds. Yet there was no one in the pool enjoying a swim and no one using the sun bed they had claimed. We just wanted a short swim before getting breakfast. It shouldn’t be allowed that you can just claim a sun bed as yours in this way. Utterly selfish to other paying guests - this hotel was not cheap.

Why, when we booked in February for a stay at the end of May, did they allocate us a room close to wedding celebrations which kept us awake? Room 406 (pretty average sadly) was just yards from the wedding which was staged on the terrace close to the bedrooms. The final straw was a wedding reveller waking us up by banging on our door at 12.15am presumably as some kind of joke. Then when I got up to ask them to tone it down I was told to ‘f..k off’ by a drunk wedding guest. For £250 a night this was completely unacceptable and we were very disappointed. The hotel should reconsider its policy on accepting weddings as it is simply not set up for them. We should have realised this when we arrived because the route taken to our room by the very pleasant porter was convoluted because of the need to avoid the wedding in a place right in the centre of the public areas

Would have appreciated more Greek food at the hotel restaurant.

War alles sehr gut vor allem die Mitarbeiter

Breakfast was very busy and tables sparse, one time I had to leave and come back. The outside pool area is too small and again slim chance of getting a sunbed. I also found it noisy, scraping chairs, banging doors etc, but I have sensitive hearing so this may not bother other people. The shower was naff, run from a tap attachment.

The pool was tiny and very cramped

Would chose a side view room next time as we faced the Somnia with absolutely no view at all. The pool area was far too small with not enough beds, very cramped and when sunny was hard to find a spot in the sun… as we are beach lovers it wasn’t such a big deal… but for some I can see this being an issue if you love the pool.

Svårt att få plats vid poolen. Chartermentalitet att reservera liggstolar

As mentioned in many of the reviews, the presentation of the public areas of the hotel (e.g. lobby, restaurant) differs vastly from the state of the rooms. The room was not four star quality. The bathroom was scruffy with lots of mould on the tiles and very old fixtures. The air con worked fairly well but pumped out an unpleasant smell that made the room smell damp. The walls/ceiling were also scruffy and had not been decorated for some time. There was no tea or coffee provided in the room but there was a kettle which is quite a strange thing to include. On the whole the room was just very depressing to be in.

It is clear that this hotel has been given a four star rating due to it ticking ‘facilities’ boxes such as a pool and a restaurant. It is not because the accommodation is four star quality. I would describe it as a low end three star room which, for around £200 per night, isn’t good value for money at all.

Having to pay for my cappuccino even at breakfast .
