Cheap and cheerful, great location

Great location, you’re right on the strip yet our room was very well sound proofed so could not hear the all night partying if we went to bed! Small patio was nice. Towels had holes, double bed more like a small half double and very very hard!! Bathroom had black mould, hair and broken tiles but we treated as part of the experience. Had to ask for clean towels. Loved the pool bar.

Nice hotel with a lovely bar terrace

Lovely holiday for adults but not really suitable for children as not much to do but we were happy there as a couple. Rooms certainly need a make over and doors look old and neglected but very clean and fresh towels and bedding each day. Air conditioning could do with re gassing! Hotel staff were friendly enough when spoken too. Kalamaki a bit dull in day but comes alive at night. We would return
