The hotel is in a great location, offering a mix of tranquility and proximity to the action. While the rooms are clean and well-equipped for a self-catering stay, the extra fees for air conditioning and safe may feel off-putting. However, the friendly and helpful staff truly enhance the overall experience.

The hotel offers a nice and simple room with all the essentials like a comfortable bed, bathroom, kitchenette, and a relaxing balcony. However, the attitude of some younger guests can be off-putting at times. The location is ideal, close to both traditional tavernas and the lively strip, while the service is hit or miss with some pleasant interactions but also some unpleasant moments.
