    Corridors could use some face-lift not to look so 70s, a hairdryer and a small drying rack would be much needed additions in the room. But really the only negative point goes to one of the staff who would definitely need some lessons in manners when addressing to kids. Will blame it on the fact that they (kids) are not the main clients of this hotel and must say it only happened once.

    Great location super close to the port! Fantastic pool, never too crowded! The room pictures did not do it justice: we were pleasantly surprised to find a large room, basic but very confortable and cleaned every single day by a lovely and friendly lady. Despite its numerous rooms and young guests, absolutely no hassle and not noisy although the isolation is fairly light. We stayed 6 nights and would definitely choose it again for our family of 4. Yes, there are many cats around fed by the property (?) but again, no hassle nor smell.

    The aircon didn’t work very well to cool down the room and the bed wasn’t very comfortable.

    Great pool! Friendly staff. Great location - between the port and Chora (just have to walk up a hill). Good value for money.

    nothing we loved it

    Was not expecting much for what we paid for the property but we very very surprised, it was perfect for what we needed, Apartment was spotless and cleaned daily, pool was great and staff on reception and night staff were great. It is a bit of an uphill walk but if you get the bus that is outside it makes it easier. Perfect to walk to the port

    The shower head holder was broken. Air con only had one setting so it was difficult to control the room temperature.

    The pool area was amazing with lots of seating. The pool was very big with lots of space. The restaurant was lovely with lots of food options. Our room had a lovely balcony with nice views.

    Quite loud, the doors in the corridor would slam and it was extremely loud. I didn’t realise it was a hostel so there were a lot of young people drinking which I have no problem with but something to be aware of. A bit far from Chora. Room was basic, maybe a little overpriced for what you get

    Staff really friendly, within walking distance to the Port. Nice pool area. Fine for 1 nights stay

    The beds aren’t the most comfortable, they’re are older, although clean and sheets are changed daily, it isn’t the most comfortable sleep but if you’re young and don’t care then you’ll be fine. Be advised majority of people that stay at this hotel are between 16-30, I wouldn’t suggest this if you’re a family or are looking for a quieter, more relaxed stay as most people are drinking and chatting from midnight until 5-6am.

    The property is great for young couples and friends out and about in Greece. Location is perfect as it’s close to the ferry port and walking distance to the village but bear in mind, it’s quite an incline to the top! There is a bus service every 15mins for only 2€ straight to the village and beaches so it’s so easy to get around. The property is older but staff are helpful and the bar and kitchen it’s perfect.

    The location was really good, close to the port. There is a bit of a hike up to the village where a lot of the bars and restaurants are. You can easily catch a bus from the bottom of the driveway up there. There's some nice restaurants and bars located near the port as welll. Staff were really helpful and allowed us to stay and have a very late check in to hold our bags. The pool area was also really beautiful and well maintained and they do have a beer too with beers, cocktails and soft drink which was nice

    The showers could use some renovating.

    The pool was clean and the top rooms had an incredible view. We stayed in some higher rated accomodation afterwards but nothing compared to the view we had from our room in this hotel. As for the hygiene, we were extremely concerned prior to booking our stay due to the reviews. By no means is it a 5 star hotel but it definitely isn’t as bad as the reviews make it out to be. For sure coming back here next year and booking a longer stay.

    Had a few ants in our room coming in from outside.

    Great value for money, was nice and close to get to the port and to town (walking distance), rooms are a little old but had everything you need and were quite clean. Our bathroom door got stuck but the friendly staff were prompt in fixing it immediately for us! The swimming pool and bar area is perfect to spend time during the hot days.

    The rooms needed an update as did the bathroom and kitchen area in our rooms. A elevator would’ve been great as there were so many stairs and we were a big group who had to carry all our luggage up 3 flights of stairs as well as a steep hill.

    The outdoor area , the balcony was so spacious , the pool was amazing.
