The rooms and air conditioning are outdated and need renovation. The restrooms in the main area have an unpleasant smell, so adding air fresheners would help.

We recently stayed at this hotel during our vacation in Greece. The best part of our experience was the staff – they were very friendly, helpful, and made us feel welcome. Five star to Janis, he is excellent he goes above and beyond for clients. That said, the hotel itself would benefit from some renovation, as the facilities feel a bit outdated. The restaurant could also use more attention to cleanliness. Overall, the people made our stay enjoyable, but with some updates and improvements, this hotel could be much better. Aleksandra

Hotel needs a renovation. It is not like in pictures. It’s an old hotel with old decor, but it’s clean. Also, location is not the greatest. There is not much in the area unless you go to neighboring towns Sissi or Malia. Sissi is walkable, Malia is not. Beach is sandy but going into water, you’ll need water shoes. There are huge rocks in the water.

The best was the personell as well as the food and beach. The Entertainment Programm is a bit over the top. There could be more Programm like acoustic Guitar, soft Music so that one have their Programm and other guests can enjoy their peace during holiday. Every day is too much. Nevertheless the personell tried to be helpful and always looking for a solution. All in all we had an enjoyable yet not too peaceful vacation.

- Bereits beim Frühstück ist aufgefallen, dass Geschirr und Besteck teils dreckig waren. Die Auswahl des Buffets war überschaubar, nicht besonders zufriedenstellend. - Das Hotel macht generell einen abgenutzten Eindruck. - Es gibt nicht genügend Poolliegen und auch Liegen am Strand im Schatten sind stark begrenzt, weshalb die Menschen die Liegen schon vor 8 Uhr morgens reservieren. Wir hatten keine Chance auf einen Schattenplatz. - Die angebotenen Cocktails, Longdrinks und Softdrinks schmecken künstlich und sind somit nicht genießbar. - Das Zimmer, das wir erhalten haben war alt, dreckig und Möbel sowie Türen und Wände defekt/ abgenutzt. Es lagen Haare im Badezimmer und es wurde nicht richtig geputzt. Das Bett ähnelt einem Feldbett, was nicht für Komfort spricht. Die Einrichtung des Zimmers ist sperrlich. Die Handtücher alle dreckig, sodass wir nach neuen Handtüchern baten. - Es folgte ein Gespräch mit der Managerin und damit verbunden ein Zimmerwechsel, jedoch erst auf dem darauffolgenden Tag. Die Managerin war sehr freundlich und zeigte großes Verständnis für unsere Situation. - Das neue Zimmer bietet mehr Platz und das Bett ist etwas komfortabler. Der Zustand des Zimmers jedoch ebenfalls unzufriedenstellend. Es ist abgenutzt, teils kaputt und dreckig. Im Badezimmer sind Ameisen. Auch hier befinden sich fremde Haare im Badezimmer. - Ein sehr schlimmes Erlebnis: ein Kissen roch stark nach Schweiß, sodass es nicht nutzbar war. Das hat einen großen Ekel verursacht und di
