Pros:

Have stayed there before so knew what to expect. Nice location and enjoyed meeting return customers. Not noisy even though building work going on. Staff always accommodating and helpful and friendly. Food was good.

Cons:

Sadly the housekeeping wasnt up to scratch as housekeeper was incapacitated so the hotel was short staffed for cleaning rooms and not done as frequently as should be, but overall acceptable in the circumstances.

One night stay
Pros:

Apartment style room

Cons:

It is an old style Greek hotel, with furniture out bygone days. There were renovations and building works going on so you either look at over a parking lot and not finished houses or a hotel being build, so some extra noise as well. Because of off season an empty pool, closed restaurant.

Cons:

Nous sommes arrivés, on nous a dit que l’hôtel était complet, on nous a redirigé vers un autre établissement, tout cela sans aucune excuse et de façon très désagréable.

Pros:

Zweckerfüllend für eine Übernachtung auf dem.Weg zum Flughafen.

Cons:

Matratzen im Schlafzimmer waren gut, die Matratzen im Wohnraum (als Betten zu nutzen) waren eine Katastrophe.

Greek hospitality at its best
Pros:

The hotel offers a warm, family-like atmosphere, with rooms that are perfectly clean and well cared for. The housekeeping ladies are very considerate: if possible, they avoid disturbing guests in the early morning, which we really appreciated. While the room décor might feel a bit aged and simple, everything works perfectly and is well maintained. The staff is extremely kind and always ready to go the extra mile to meet any request. Thanks to them, we enjoyed an authentic holiday, immersed in the famous Greek hospitality.

Cons:

The only downside of our stay was that the hotel is currently undergoing expansion works, and as expected, the construction workers start early in the morning. This did affect the morning peace a bit. However, we understand this is only temporary, and hopefully by next year everything will be completed, bringing back the calm and tranquillity that make this place truly special.

Pros:

Un établissement simple mais tres propre, un personnel exceptionnel, au petits soins, prêts à rendre service. Ils vendent des bouteilles d'eau à très bon marché pour ceux qui ne souhaitent pas boire l'eau locale. Les chambres sont rustiques mais tres propres et régulièrement nettoyées..
Le restaurant ou nous avons diné plusieurs fois, propose une cuisine familiale de très bonne qualité, tout est fait maison , un tres grand choix à la carte, les produits sont très frais, le service est rapide et les serveurs parlent anglais et sont à l'écoute . Une belle piscine est a disposition, l'endroit est calme et familial.Il y a une belle plage à 5 minutes et toutes les commodités, le village n'est pas formidable mais les gens sont tellement accueillants que nous avons passé un excellent séjour et nous avons pu visiter toute l'île en faisant de la route car l'île est grande .

Perfect for our overnight stay
Pros:

A basic, although large room, which satisfied our needs. We arrived around 9.30pm and ate in the bar attached, food was good and the staff were really friendly. Had a wonderful traditional breakfast the next morning and that too was delicious.
It was early season and the weather wasn't great so I don't think we saw the area at its best. I imagine that it will be buzzing once the season is in full swing.

Cons:

The room had been shut off and there were loads of mosquitos!
Didn't like the rain :-D
