Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a peaceful location with easy access to most facilities and very close to the shopping center. The rooms are spacious and modern, yet lack a fridge and microwave, making it inconvenient for families with kids. The service was attentive and accommodating. The dining options offered globally inspired dishes, but the prices were slightly high. The facilities were well-maintained, but the absence of certain amenities was noticeable.
The hotel is located in a quiet area with easy access to most facilities and very close to the shopping center. The rooms are spacious and modern, but lacking a fridge and microwave can be inconvenient, especially when traveling with kids who may need snacks. The service was attentive, with efforts to accommodate my requests, and the paid shuttle service was a plus. The location is very safe, offering peace of mind, although the absence of a balcony may limit relaxation options. The dining provided by the chef was satisfactory, but a broader menu selection would enhance the experience. The facilities were adequate, with the housekeeping ensuring cleanliness throughout the stay.
I had an overall pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were lacking a fridge and microwave, which made it a bit challenging with kids due to the separation. However, having a balcony was a nice touch. The service was commendable as they tried to accommodate my request, and the availability of housekeeping and paid shuttle service was convenient. The location was excellent, located in a very safe area with easy access to various facilities and close to The Village Centre. On the downside, the dining options were limited and didn't meet my expectations. The hotel offers traditional Greek dishes which were a nice touch. The facilities provided were satisfactory overall.
