Olive Press Hotel & Apartments in Mithymna

Lovey location in pretty old building. However we would not call this a hotel more B & B as lacking certain facilities like no bar in main building, no beach towels, no glass in room very basic rooms. The pool was major concerned as dirty grime around sites (I took video ) as my wife got bladder infection after 3 days into using the pool the pool is used by non residents whom turned up groups of 8-10 taking up beds & bringing own food & local children ( unsupervised ) using the pool when signs up saying only only food purchased on property can be consumed & children must be supervised at all times. Sunbeds in poor condition. Such a shame as this property could be exceptional unique place to stay.

Molyvos is very pretty and the olive press could be amazing. Our room didn't have a balcony which I was aware of when booking. The room had 2 twin beds and we thought it would be a double. The lady on reception said none if the rooms had double beds which I don't think is true. The room had a lovely view upto the castle but could only be seen when leaning out of the window. The room was exceptionally small. The bathroom was a shower tray with a hand held shower head with one of those shower curtains which stick to your legs and the floor was soaked every time it was used. Horrible. The mini fridge was in a built in cupboard which was the tiny wardrobe area . It appeared to be overheating as the top of it got quite hot and was like an airing cupboard for your clothes !! The steps leading upto the room were in disrepair and I nearly fell on the loose brick on the edge of the steps. It was never moved in the week we were there. The swimming pool area could be a lot better. It looked quite tatty and neglected. Lots of broken, uncomfortable sun beds. The bar man was always busy talking to his friends around the bar or on his phone. Pleasant enough but wouldn't hurt to go around and make everything neat and tidy and offer drinks every hour or so. He had time !! The pool was located a little walk to the bar . No food was available either . A shame as it could be so much nicer. I did feel the staff were not particularly friendly either. They seemed to have a couldn't be bothered attitude. On the other hand breakfast was lovely. Gorgeous greek lady who kept an eye on the buffet and topped everything up as needed. Always smiling and cleaning. Beautiful setting for breakfast by the sea. That was a lovely experience. I would stay again if the price was right and in a different room with an upgraded bathroom. Lovely location. It needs some loving attention, some upgrading and management to sort out their staff. Then it would be the best hotel in Molyvos.
