Excellent all round apart from the bedroom floor and balcony. This needed to be dusted more regularly. If we ventured that way again we would stay there again as it was close to the Old Town and restaurants.

+ Great location, very central to old town so easy to walk around the town, friendly and helpful staff, fabulous breakfast, clean facilities, some rooms updated, great pool with a decent amount of sunbeds, reasonably priced drinks and food at the pool and 30% discount on drinks during happy hour (5-6pm) woo hoo - our room (1 bed apartment) backed onto noisy alley (arguing drunks and motorbikes at night, workmen renovating building behind during day so sleep deprived most of stay) 1 bed units are older and non renovated so bathrooms are a negative. Apartments are advertised as pool view but all face the wall of the main building. Lower floor rooms are dark and a little dingy, they share a terrace with 3 other rooms which feels claustrophobic, also smokey sitting out as everyone and their dog smokes! The only one of the apartments with a view of the pool is room 608. This is a lovely apartment with pool facing windows on the side (the room you see on their website) book this one if you can or stick to a renovated room in the main building. Parking is a pain, free parking is up the hill and difficult to find, be patient and you will eventually get a spot just be prepared to wait, paid parking is opposite hotel (around 15 euro a day) Overall a great stay, we were there for a week and found it relaxing. We really enjoyed the pool area and Panos who serves drinks in this area is a great guy, funny, friendly and very helpful. We would stay again but in a sea view room next time

Great hotel at the end of a multi stay trip. The rooms are clean and quiet, the staff friendly and attentive. We found it good value, and the breakfast was excellent. We had a 4 night stay there and it was perfect for exploring the wider area but also being able to easily wander round the Old Town. Parking is conveniently nearby and free if you don’t mind being on the street
