The TV didn’t work and no effort to fix it. TV wasn’t that important, but their attitude was deplorable.

Thank you for all your services. The place was clean and organized , amazing views from the room and very close to stores and other amenities. Loved the experience and will come back for sure! Also I forgot my hat after leaving the property and they had saved it for me when I returned to look for it. Thank you again.

Great place to stay. Extremely welcoming hospitality like youre family. Safe, comfortable , and great views! The driveway is very steep so be prepared but all of the driveways in town are so nothing unusual. Highly recommend you stay here!!!

I had a lovely 2 night stay at this property. The lady that checked me in was most helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The deck and private beach at the front is amazing and the views are out of this world.

Great room

Unbeatable location right over the sea, with private beach, and fantastic sea views. All requests addressed quickly and satisfactorily. Only issue was that the TV did not work; otherwise, everything was great.

Not what I expected

The good
-Location central
-The view from the balcony
-A/C
-Very clean
-Beach access and chairs
-Breakfast was OK. Served in small quantities but replenish as needed. Not a fan of that
The bad:
-Open shower. The small glass separating the shower from bathroom is not enough to stop water splashing and pooling away from shower. This made our stay very inconvenient. We were hesitant of showering for fear of water leaking and creating hazardous slippery conditions. We used our towels as a barricade.
-The water temperature in the shower wasn’t consistent. It went from cold to hot by itself One day it wasn’t any hot water despite letting it run a while.
-There’s no real nightstand but just a small unstable table with 3 legs (one broken) in the corner of the bed. There was no electric plug in where the table was. We switched it to the other side but it looked awkward because right near the door.
-The room felt really tight. They must have included the balcony in the area surface of the room because the room itself definitely wasn’t over 400 sqft.
-Hotel is located at the bottom of a dangerous steep ramp. It’s difficult walking up and down even with good sneakers.
-There’s no phone in the room and no personnel in the reception all the time (although it was disclosed) and you would have to look around to find help.
-The owner/manager (Vangjel) has a harsh and abrupt attitude. Let’s just say he isn’t a people’s person and that’s not welcoming.

Nice but a bit overpriced

Pretty nice hotel, but a bit overpriced for the quality (perhaps because it was high season). About 15 minutes walk from the main part of town and the boardwalk. They need thicker curtains, so do bring your eyemask.

Very nice hotel next to the sea and with dedicated sunbeds for hotel guests.

The staff was really helpful and friendly. Thank you Anxhelo and Elena who both helped with recommendations and solved any of our issues quickly.

Anxhelo even brought his own TV to the hotel so we could watch the World Cup on a larger TV in the lobby. Now that's dedication! And he drove us to the port to catch the ferry to Corfu, amazing.

The breakfast was all right, it had what you needed and nothing special.

The hotel is at the bottom of a steep hill which was a bit annoying at first, but after a while you get used to it.

Really nice hotel, very friendly staff! View from the room and balcony was amazing (as it's right beside the sea). They had a nice little beach a few steps down, with sunbeds and stairs to the sea. I can really recommend this place. !The only thing is that it's located at the end of a steep road. Might not be suitable for everyone. And a few parking spaces is available. Loved the stay!
