El Greco

The location was perfect for us, with one coast 5 minutes away, the other side 10 minutes away, and bars, supermarkets, and restaurants along the same street. The owner was really nice. When the air conditioning leaked, he arranged for someone to fix it the next day. The rooms are a bit small, but they worked for our 5-day trip. I think every room has a balcony with a table and chairs. Ours faced the pool by the entrance. The only annoying thing was the sound of the air conditioning pump at the pompous hotel next door, though we got used to it. Overall, a good experience.

This place suited a budget holiday well. The hotel is close to most tourist attractions and the beach, which is good for the price. I went in July 2022. The rooms were clean, towels were changed regularly, and the trash was taken out. Food was okay and had options at each meal, though it repeated every two days or so. The owner and the women working there were very kind. There weren't many staff, so I assume it's a family business, but they seemed to do their best to keep things in order. One easy improvement would be cleaning the hallways, as the carpet looked a bit dirty. I think it works for people who want an affordable place to sleep in a good location and aren't picky. If you're after a luxury trip, this isn't the place.

The location is hard to beat, and the drinks cost less than they do in the town’s supermarkets. It’s not a fancy place, but they clean daily if you let them in, and will change towels or sheets when you ask. The owner can seem reserved at first, though he’s really nice once you get to know him. The air conditioning feels great, but switch it off now and then or it can get noisy or start dripping. Breakfast gets repetitive, but I’d buy it again for the convenience and the nice woman who prepares it. Great value.

For a two-star hotel at these prices, with half board included, this is about as good as it gets. The location is ideal: around five minutes from the city beach, Mandraki port, and the old town. There’s also enough street parking nearby if you rent a car. Our rooms were clean and tidy, just as pictured on the hotel site, and both bathrooms had been fully renovated. Breakfast was the same each day, while dinner offered more choice. Wi-Fi worked perfectly throughout the hotel. The staff are a small team, but very polite and quick to sort out problems. When our air conditioner broke, they let us choose between two rooms, and we picked a larger double room. We were comfortable there for the rest of our holiday.
