My wife and I stayed 7 miserable days at this establishment and felt relieved when we left. The property is, without doubt, in a very enviable location with breathtakingly beautiful views from the dining terrace and from all of the rooms. The views and location are the main selling points for this hotel because the entire interior of the hotel is in desperate need of inves**ent and refurbishment. Some people would probably describe the hotel as ‘quirky’ or ‘full of old world Greek charm’ with basic rooms, but our room 204 was very tired, run down, dusty and grubby with minimal very old furniture and a grossly uncomfortable bed. The bed linen had a strange abrasive feel to it The bathroom water was only luke warm most of the time. Only one electric point in the bedroom with an adapter. The shaver point in the bathroom was particularly dangerous, it was adjacent to the sink but was protruding from the wall. Please don’t get me wrong, we are used to Greek basic accommodation and have spent many a happy holiday in such places. There is a difference between good basic accommodation and very bad basic accommodation; this hotel should be described as the latter. We never used the swimming pool so we cannot comment, but we used the restaurant for one lunch and one dinner during our stay and found that, apart from the Greek salad, nothing was freshly prepared and was very average. The dolmades we ordered were definitely out of a commercial multipack. Breakfast could be described as chaotic. The surly ‘Greek gentleman’ on the front desk was the general manager and was there all the hours available and spent most of this time staring at his computer and didn’t have much time for anything else. Very unwelcoming, he never smiled and everything seemed a lot of bother and an interruption to his day. The only time he smiled and acted as if he was interested was when we checked out wanted payment. I would have happily paid more than double the nightly rate to get something that was something half decent. I’ll come back when the rooms are renovated and the hotel has a new management team. Please avoid this hotel for your holiday accommodation. If you want to see the spectacular views go there for just coffee or lunch. You won’t be disappointed.
