Fantastic value with excellent service

This is a great, friendly family-run hotel. I got an excellent rate or my room. had to move rooms after a few nights and the second (in a sister hotel down the street) wasn't as nice but still incredible value. Jorgos at the desk was extremely helpful and friendly, as were all the other staff. Rooms simple but very clean and well-appointed.

Hidden Gem!!

We stayed in early April and had the place to ourselves! We were the first guest of the season. The hotel was just renovated so everything was like new. The room was very comfortable and quiet. We traveled with our sons, one is 11 and the other is 1.5 years old. I had requested a crib when I made the reservation and when we got to our room, the crib was already set up in our room. The room was like a small apartment with two separate sleeping areas, a small kitchenette with a table and chairs and a nice balcony overlooking the pool. The hotel has a great pool and dining area as well, the kids loved running around the entire place. Wonderful staff, can’t say enough about the family! George, the hotel owner, was fantastic, very accommodating and helpful. Since we were the only family at the hotel at the time, we didn’t want to bother him with breakfast, but he insisted on making us something every morning. They normally have a buffet, so not to bother him, we asked him to just make us eggs and toast. He went above and beyond to make us a wonderful breakfast with what we requested along with fruit, cheese, ham and drinks. My husband and George got along so well that we are actually already planning our next visit! The hotel is near the beach and town. If you like to walk, you can easily walk everywhere. Great hotel and staff, definitely a 3 star hotel in my book! We are looking forward to returning soon!

A recommander pour être au calme. Bon rapport Q/P

Chouette petit appartement propre dans maison d'à côté plutôt qu'un studio. Douche pas très pratique, on met de l'eau partout. Lits durs, très bien pour mon compagnon mais beaucoup trop dur pour moi. Petit-déjeuner très sommaire. Personnel très gentil. Hôtel très calme mais assez difficile à trouver quand vous arrivez le soir car entouré de végétation et pas d'enseigne éclairée. A 100 m de la longue plage de petits graviers

Très bien

Hôtel situé près de la plage. Un peu éloigné du centre ville mais il y a un arrêt des bus à l'entrée de l'hôtel (entre 5 et 10 minutes pour se rendre en centre ville et coût 1 euro par personne). Piscine très agréable et très propre. Manque un peu d'ustensiles pour la kitchenette. Salle de bain petite et vite inondée par la douche. Demander une chambre à l'étage et côté piscine afin d'apercevoir la mer. Très bon séjour.

Helt greit opphold på et rimelig hotell

Skulle bare bo en natt, så valgte et billig hotell og hadde derfor ikke allverdens forventning. Men hotellet var greit det. Litt slitne rom, men helt greit dersom man ikke har forventning om at man skal få et luksus-rom. Kan absolutt anbefale hotellet for andre.

Helt ok

Billig hotell, så man får det man betaler for. Ok rom med kjøkken. Harde senger og lite bad var ikke så bra. Heldigvis var det lydtett ut mot gaten da det var mye trafikk i gaten utenfor. Det var veldig lytt ut til gangen, så våknet hver gang noen kom eller gikk. Nært stranden og gangavstand til sentrum
