7.0/10

Although the room had a small window that opens inside the hotel and limited space around the bed, it was clean and the bed was comfortable. The service was a mix of positive and negative experiences, with unlocked doors being a concern but overall helpful and friendly staff. The location was outstanding for its proximity to key points like the port, city center, and airport. The dining experience was satisfactory but could benefit from more variety. Overall, it offers good value for money with some room for improvement.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms were a bit small but had the best bed I've ever slept on during my trip to Greece. The small balcony overlooking the port offered a unique view of the large cruise ships.

The dining experience was decent, with a better selection than some other hotels I've been to. However, the pricing could be more reasonable given the quality.

Facilities

The facilities were good overall, offering homemade pies and jams which were a nice touch. However, the value for money could be more balanced.

The hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were disappointing, nothing like the pictures, old, worn, tiny, and dark. However, the service was extremely friendly and helpful, especially with directions. The location was a bit uphill but very convenient for accessing the city center. The dining experience never fully materialized, but the homemade cakes were tasty. The facilities were lacking, but the price was reasonable.
