Reviews
Particularly noteworthy is the warmth of the owner family. Due to a booking mistake, we were generously compensated. They always helped you for special concerns and the friendly charisma and the nice handling made you feel at home.
In summary, we had a wonderful stay and a great time. Therefore we would recommend the hotel with the best of conscience.
Location next to the center of Kokkari
You can hire books for free
(also a few in Dutch language)
Nice cats all around the hotel!
Flowers all around the hotel bringing a cozy atmosphere
The general areas are maintained very good!
- Disappointing:
Room is sometimes not cleaned well enough, it then gets cleaned with a dirty wipe, which made our room smell
The shower will flood every time you take a shower
You will get clean towels every two days. (While you would need them every day too dry your flooded bathroom…)
Also about the shower: we had cold water for 4 days out of the 6 days stay.
The owners can come up with new rules every other day. Example: rules about parking and about the use of the airconditioning. They even took our AC remote control out of our room while we weren’t there.
Poor breakfast: overcooked eggs, average croissants (more like dough balls than croissants), cheese, ham, olives, bread, jam, milk, and Greek yoghurt. That’s all. It’s the same every single day.
Not enough power points to charge your hardware
The hotel is not renovated in the 21st century. You cannot charge your phone next to your bed, but only in the kitchen.
Google said this is three stars but I am positive that it is less.
——————————
Didnt know whether to rate the hotel with two or three stars. But three would be just too much, they did not meet our expectations on too many areas.
We hope we 'll visit the place again once lockdowns are over.
