Chora Folegandros Holidays

A nice hotel. Don't understand what the other reviewers were complaining about. The rooms are nice and have a small balcony. Not a huge room, but as good as they come in Athens. Breakfast was simple, but decent. The room has AC, a must in the summer. Location is nice, as close to a place called Bread Factory. Best desserts there. A decent place to stay. One can take the bus to the main square. We walked in the evening and took the bus when it was hot.

Severe health and hygiene issues - confirmed bedbugs. We experienced a severe hygiene issue during our stay at this property. Within the first 48 hours, my husband began developing severe bite marks. We notified the front desk immediately to request a deep clean and fresh bedding, but the issue was dismissed as local outdoor bug bites. Despite thoroughly checking the room initially and finding nothing, we later discovered a dead bedbug under the covers. We have photographic documentation of both the insect and the daily bite patterns. Other guests have noted similar experiences in past reviews. Travelers should exercise caution when booking this location.

When I arrived to my room the safe wasn’t working. Even though I reported it, I was told an engineer was coming the following day by Alex. No one turned up After waiting around all day and wasn’t even booked in when I spoke to the manager. Only when I escalated it to Hotels.com did the manager change the batteries and tell my husband how to override the safe as a button was missing. The breakfast is not as shown on the pictures and these need updating, There is an even a charge for cereal, you get the same thing everyday, bought out to you, no choice of what you wait, it was wasteful. Other guests have also reported safe issues. Shame as it’s a lovely location and I had recommended it to a few people but since this escalated they too have been put off. It’s a shame that the hotel couldn’t admit their mistake and resolve the matter professionally. There are lots of beautiful places nearby, and ones that give you the basics like cereal for free with breakfast and a working safe without all the hassle I had to endure on my holiday.

No staff to port your luggage, the electricity goes on & off some times.. so may be no coffee in the mornings, cant use hair dryer//straighteners. The property charges €10 per person upon check in, that’s not mentioned in hotels.com’s prices so be aware when booking. Apart from this stunning views of Caldera! If all of the above is acceptable then this is truly amazing Property to stay.
