Located right across the street from the beach and next to old town, this hotel has a great location. If you want to visit the beach, you are obviously not wanting to bring all your valuables. But you can’t lock the safe in your room without paying $2.5 EU per day. I have never experienced this extra charge in any other hotel. This is a rip off. Just raise the cost of the room price - don’t fleece your guests.
Speaking of rip offs, this hotel lists that it has a fitness room. On my first day, I inquired where the fitness room is. I was told it “was moved”. I then asked where has it been moved to. The front desk person, then replied “to another hotel”. Unfortunately the listing (even on Tripadvisor) still indicates a fitness room. You will not find a gym here.
I stayed as a part of a tour group. My check in was complicated because they needed to know the name of my tour group leader. Since this was the first day of the tour, I did not know the name of the guide. It took extra time checking in as a result.
The rooms are very basic- especially the bathroom. My first night was cold. The heater in the room would not work properly. It would only heat for about a minute and shut off. There is inadequate soundproofing between rooms. If someone in the next room turns on the water, it will wake you up. If someone is talking in the hallway, you’ll hear everything they say.
Only one big towel was provided in my room. My toilet would not shut off without jiggling the button. The shower head was in dire need of replacing. The curtain in the bath kept sticking to me when I was trying to take a shower. Be careful with the hot water – you could seriously burn yourself with just a slight movement of the handle. So hot!!! No makeup mirror or lotion. Incredibly, there wasn’t anything provided to hang wet swimsuits.
There was a small flatscreen TV, which had some English channels. The Wi-Fi worked well. The buffet dinner had plenty of selections, but it was quantity not quality. Breakfast was a bit crammed for all the tour groups which stay here. Breakfast did not open until 0730, so everyone was waiting until the doors opened. There was a refrigerator in the room and a coffee maker. The pool looked really nice, but it was too cold during my stay. Drinks are not served poolside.
If you don’t mind a very basic hotel, you could book here just for the location. But not for any other reason. There has to be better accommodations in town.
