While the staff were very friendly the hotel was very limited insofar as amenities. The room was not well prepared with bathroom plumbing requiring emergency repair to render it safe. Even with that repair it was a very ‘rustic’ room with little comfort. The most difficult aspect of the hotel was the 90 stairs that had to be climbed to access the room! This was not for the faint of heart and should be highlighted in the description.

The appartment was quite OK, but the bathroom really needs renovation. The shower space very small and the curtain doesn't help - the water always goes on the floor. However, we had a nice balcony with a nice view to the sea and the swimming pool.

Hemos estado alojados durante una semana y la verdad es que ha sido una grata experiencia. Los apartamentos están localizados arquitectónicamente en vertical, como en bancales o estratos. Las vistas son preciosas y ves el amanecer desde la terraza. Eso sí, no estan adaptados para carritos o sillas de ruedas y hay algunas escaleras. El personal tanto de recepción como de limpieza es muy amable. Mención especial a Kostas (Κώστας), el dueño del bar-restaurant-piscina. Lástima no poder comunicarnos mejor por mi falta de inglés porque creo que hubiéramos mantenido conversaciones muy interesantes. El Hotel es familiar, sin grandes lujos pero con lo necesario para pasar un estancia muy agradable. Tiene una ubicación perfecta para visitar la mitad oeste de esa isla increíblente bonita. Muchas gracias por todo. Familia Mar-vel

Veldig god service på hotellet og de ansatte var veldig hyggelig. Rommene derimot var ikke så fine. Spesielt badet var veldig utdatert og skittent. I tillegg så var det veldig lytt imellom veggene til naboene.

Ok lejlighed. Receptionen var ikke altid bemandet tiltrods for at de skriver det. Rengøring var slet ikke optimal og mangelfuld. Der mest positive og fantastiske var ægteparret som ejer café/ spisestedet. Rigtig god mad og exceptionel god service
