艾蓮尼飯店

If you want to stay in a small hotel located close to restaurants and beaches owned by one cantankerous Greek family, be their guest! I love all things Greek, unfortunately the hospitality I have enjoyed over the years across the Islands was absent here. It has everything going for it. A lovely pool which is perfect to relax in, a bar with food at good prices and clean rooms. Unfortunately, on several occasions, the family made their views heard about how guests should act. This extended to the use of air conditioning (which is a paid for extra) and how bringing sand back from the beach made everything dirty. I think they forget people are on holiday. While it's important people are respectful during their stay, people come to relax. As a solo traveler, I felt uncomfortable during these times which was unfortunate. I was told off in front of guests (initially assuming this was a joke about sand). It soon dawned on myself and others around that this was a problem for them, with one couple stating how they had been told off for getting makeup on their towels. This is a real shame as the hotel itself has much going for it. If you are looking for a great value getaway, and don't mind somewhat dated rooms, the hotel could be for you. As per other reviews, the breakfast is shockingly bad. Baguette, spread and jam. Alongside instant coffee and tea. Plus, cheese and ham. I only ate there once and ventured to Corner Cafe (which I recommend) for breakfast. Coffee is 💪. The family who own the hotel I couldn't quite work out. They often seemed annoyed or irritated and seem to have a hatrid for those who request air conditioning. At 75 euros for a week's use - I think I can decide on how and when I use it. If it's use is too much, I would suggest removing this as an option when guests book. I think it's perhaps time to hang up the hotel coat. On one occasion the bed linen had stains on which I asked to be changed. This was done immediately. The owners blamed those who wear oil based tanning products?? After this, the family seemed to have something against me for bringing it to their attention. While I only paid £22 per night for a room, cleanliness should extend to linen. Attention to detail was lacking. Inside the rooms, the facilities are dated and cramped. The shower head holder was broken, awkwardly propped up on the wall. The mattress was uncomfortable and rock hard. This hotel provides a budget friendly option if you are looking for value for money. It is well located next to all you need, including a super market less than a 4 minute walk away. Unless you are desperate and want to stay at a hotel on a shoestring, do not stay here. Avoid!

We visited in September and what a beautiful little hotel. I cannot find anything I didn't like about this hotel. The staff, the cleanliness, Our rooms towels and bed linen were cleaned and changed daily, the beds were so comfortable too. From the minute we arrived I fell in love with this little gem of a hotel. The manager was so lovely making sure we had everything we needed. The staff treat you like family with nothing being too much trouble. I cannot wait to visit again
