La réception n'est pas terrible

L'hôtel est situé près des anciens ramparts, à distance de marche de la gare. C'est près de rien, sans être trop loin des attraits principaux de la ville. Ma chambre était située au 2e étage avec une fenêtre donnant sur le lobby de la réception. J'entendais donc le signal d'ouverture de la porte d'entrée à tout heure ou le meeting d'un groupe très enthousiaste quittant à 5h AM. Par contre la chambre était propre et fonctionnel. La réception n'est pratiquement jamais ouverte. Pendant mon séjour de 4 nuits, je l'ai vu ouverte une fois. J'ai reçu un message le jour de mon arrivée me donnant le code d'entrée et m'indiquant où trouver ma clé. Si je n'avais pas vérifié mes courriels au wifi de la gare routière de Tripaka, je me serais buté à une porte close sans moyen de communiqué avec personne. Pas vraiment ce que je recherche pendant mes vacances.

Good rooms, longer walk from town centre but not bad on a scooter. Courtyard was nice but usage times are limited due to residential address.

The staff were all incredibly nice and helpful. They gave us a free room upgrade, and the new room was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. They provided free water bottles and coffee/microwave use, extra toiletries, and anything we could need. They also were very helpful in answering our questions and recommending things to do. The only we problem we had was with contacting them after hours, when our key card stopped working and locked us out of the building.

The place did not match wat was expected from the pictures. The bathroom was great. But the room had a certain smell that never went. The floor looked dirty even though it was cleaned. The water from the shared electric kettle had white deposits on it so I could not drink any hot drinks. The staff were helpful especially the gentleman. However, I would not stay there again. For a similar price I stayed in amazing accommodation in Pireaus, and Athens city centre.
