7.0/10

I stayed on the 4th floor, room 419. The hotel offers decent Wi-Fi connection, and the beds were prepared but unfortunately, the rooms were not thoroughly cleaned. The hotel has some great amenities, but there were some minor cleanliness issues with the room.

Rooms

The rooms with all the possible amenities were not cleaned thoroughly, only the beds were prepared.

Service

6.0

The customer service was minimal, and my complaints weren't properly addressed. However, the staff knew the basics of customer service.

Location

8.0

The hotel is located at a busy area right on the beach, which is great for beach lovers. However, being in a lively location might not suit everyone's preference.

Dining

7.0

The dining options lacked chicken choices but offered traditional Greek products.

Facilities

The hotel provides a range of facilities including room service, car hire, and housekeeping, but there were some issues with cleanliness in the rooms. The facilities were adequate but not exceptional.
