阿波羅尼翁宮飯店

Man kann Gutes und Schlechtes über alte Hotels empfinden. Dieses Hotel wurde soweit möglich auf einen modernen Stand gebracht. Dabei sind interessante Details entstanden wie etwa der Mini Aufzug in das Obergeschoss und die verwinkelten schmalen Treppengänge. Soweit möglich mit einem gewissen Stil. Auf der Strecke geblieben ist bei unserem Raum (502) im Wesentlichen mur die Befestigung des Wasserhahns im Bad. Zimmer gross genug, Blick vom Balkon wunderbar, insbesondere für den Sonnenaufgang. Die Lage NOCH einigermaßen fußläufig zum Hafen. (Ich kam von der unterkühlten Schnellfähre ziemlich verschwitzt am Hotel an). Freundliches hilfsbereites Personal. Über Preis/Leistung könnte man schreiten.... Die Bademöglichkeit ist nett. Einzig das Frühstück ist sein Geld nicht wert. Das Beste daran war der O-Saft. Die "Croissant" verdienen den Namen nicht. Der Rest für mich als Müsli- (nicht in der Pauschale enthalten) und Marmeladenfrühstücker schon bescheiden. Für Wurst/Schinken und Käse Esser war nichts dabei. Empfehlung: von einem Bäcker was holen und in einem Café mit einem Heissgetränk verzehren. Die Umgebung ist wie oft in alten Griechischen Zentren durchsetzt mit Abbruchreifen Hausruimen. Unterm Strich: bis auf das Frühstück empfehlenswert.

Beautiful hotel looking out to the sea. The staff are all so friendly. A family run hotel. Spyros and his family made us very welcome. Beautiful terrace where you can have a drink or have a super breakfast again looking onto the sea. Very tranquil place would definitely recommend this place.

On *********** we were looking for a luxury hotel near the port of Syros. There we found it! A 5-star boutique hotel with outstanding reviews. We decided to contact them directly and made the booking. The way we were welcomed was very friendly. The receptionist showed us our room #303, a Deluxe Double Room. We paid €185 instead of €202 through Booking, room only. The room was located on the ground floor next to the reception, facing the street side. People were walking by, able to peek into our room from an ample 50cm distance. No privacy unless you close the curtains. We were told the room includes two conjoined single beds without any space between them. In real life however it were two singles low uncomfortable beds standing apart from each other. The room had airconditioning however the device was quite old and made quite a lot of noise. The bathroom was very outdated and old fashioned and should be renovated immediately. The towel ring had been shabbily repaired with tape. There is no proper space to store your toiletries. Breakfast is at the roof terrace and the view is absolutely beautiful. The very poor €12,50 breakfast however again is not the 5 star you would expect. Fresh orange juice was a good start, but we had to wait for over 30 minutes for the eggs. During that time the few slices of bread were old and dry already. We had to ask for jam and cheese, which wasn’t fresh and didn’t look tasty at all. No croissants, no fresh fruit, no yoghurt, nothing at all. After checkout we were asked to pay €17,50 for breakfast instead of €12,50, because they thought we ordered all kinds of extras… Apparently we missed the breakfast in its original way. Whilst checking out we just gave the advice of renovating the rooms. Unfortunately the owner couldn’t appreciate our feedback at all and just said an old building cannot be changed. We understand that: obviously it’s a 200 year old building, but when making a reservation for an expensive 5 star hotel we really don’t expect outdated comfort. This absolutely can be improved without losing the ancient character. The only thing worth 5 stars is the fabulous view at the roof terrace. But is it worth a €185? No.
