Lovely staff and quality breakfast... Olives lovely and great coffee I arrived late for work reasons and they were very helpful to use a delivery service to deliver to the hotel. Balcony had 2 chairs but no table. There was a pull cord plug pulled out of socket in bathroom to repair and easily fixed. Well done. Easy 10 minute walk to IOA airport so will definitely use again Peter

Très design, bravo ! Peut-être même trop, les petites lampes de lectures ne sont pas facile à utiliser. Le buffet du petit déjeuner est parfait. Pour un tout petit bémol, la lunette de WC et son abattant méritent un frein de chute. Ce n’est pas très cher et c’est la classe en plus !

Υπάρχουν πολλά περιθώρια βελτίωσης

Το μπάνο που είναι πολύ βασικό στην εικόνα ενός δωματίου ήταν βρώμικο. Είχε τρίχες επάνω στο καπάκι της τουαλέτας στο ντουζ η αποχέτευση και η πόρτα του μπάνιου ήταν βρώμικη. Επίσης υπήρχαν δακτυλιές σε διάφορα σημεία του δωματίου όπως στο διακόπτη για το καζανάκι, στο τραπεζάκι και τον νιπτήρα. Δεν υπήρχαν κομοδίνα στο διπλό κρεββάτι και στις 2 πλευρές, και υπήρχαν καρέκλες μόνο στο μπαλκόνι χωρίς τραπεζάκι.

Θα κρινω το ξενοδοχειο ως 4 αστερων και εμεινα απολυτως ικανοποιημενος με τη διαμονη μου. Στα θετικα, εξοπλισμος δωματιου, διακοσμηση, λειτουργηκοτητα, ανεση κρεβατιου με υπερστρωμα και καλης ποιοτητας μαξιλαρια και κλινοσκεπασματα. Πολυ ησυχη τοποθεσια, αμφιθεατρικη θεα, μεγαλο μπαλκονι και απολυτη ηχομονωση. Το προσωπικο ευγενικο, ευκολο parking και σταθμος φορτισης. Το πρωινο ειχε ποικιλια και σιγουρα μπορεις να ξεκινησεις την μερα σου σε ευχαριστο χωρο. Βελτιωση θα χρειαζοταν το προσωπικο καθαρισμου και μικρολεπτομεριες στη λειτουργικοτητα καποιων λαμπτηρων και κουρτινων χωρις ομως να επηρεαζουν την καλη διαμονη. Το ξενοδοχειο χρησιμοποιεί ενα αυτοματο σύστημα θερμανσης/ψυξης το οποιο θετει και κρατα τη θερμοκρασια παντου σταθερη. Στην συζυγο μου αρεσε πολυ αυτη η θαλπωρη, ενω εγω θα προτιμουσα περισσσοτερη δροσια. Δυστυχως δεν ρυθμιζεται εξατομικευμενα. Για την τιμη του και τις συνολικες παροχες στην κατηγορια του, σιγουρα θα το προτιμουσα ξανα.

Το ξενοδοχείο ήταν πολύ καλό σε γενικές γραμμές, το πρωινό όμως είχε θέμα. Ήταν αρκετά φτωχό και σε συνδυασμό με τα μέτρα του covid δεν σε άφηναν να πάρεις τίποτα μόνος σου. Θα μπορούσαν να διαθέτουν γάντια μίας χρήσης για το πρωινό καθώς και το πρωινό να είναι ποιο πλούσιο.

Εξαιρετική η παραμονή μου στο ξενοδοχείο. Βαζω άριστα στο προσωπικο για την ευγένειά του, την εξυπηρετικοτητα του και την προθυμία που είχαν προκειμενου να με εξυπηρετήσουν. Το πρωινό ήταν πλούσιο, νόστιμο και διαφορετικο σε καποια είδη καθημερινα. Καθαριότητα σε ολους τους χώρους. Μπράβο σε ολους! Το συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα!

Rent, fräscht och bra service nära flygplatsen

Bra service, fräscht och perfekt läge för oss eftersom det var nära flygplatsen och vi bara skulle övernatta innan resa vidare ut till Lefkada nästa dag. Lagom bensträckare/promenad på 5 minuter från flygplatsen. Lagom stort quadruple.rum för 2 vuxna och 2 barn. Trist men ok frukost.
