We had an excellent stay at this hotel. It is quite literally the ideal location to get to Kalamaki Beach, which is the nicest beach in the area. The room was well suited to make us feel welcome and comfortable during our stay. And they had good options for breakfast. We also have to say that this hotel has a great staff supporting it. We appreciated that everyone working at reception was extremely kind and very attentive to all guests. Great value. Ideal location. Helpful staff.

Room was clean, bathroom very small and poorly designed with shower curtain hanging down in the shower, no proper vent, mattresses hard as boards, outside balcony was dirty and not desirable to sit at. Breakfast was delicious and had a good variety of offerings. A/C ran but at times would get very loud and slow down then start back up again and run at a normal speed
