Athena Hotel

***köttet var gott. Rummet var rent men tekniken var gammal. Duschen hade en gardin. Toalettsitsen lekte. Lakanen var ren. Vi gillade frukosten mycket.

When we arrived check-in was easy and we were given a superior room as a free upgrade. However, when we got to the room it had a horrible smell, almost like someone had been smoking in there and it hadn't been cleaned. After reporting this to reception, they resolved the issue by having the cleaner wipe the floors and spray the air. While this did remove the smell, it came back again the next day. I think the issue is an old room and furniture which needs to be replaced, for example, the curtains had a lot of stains on them. The breakfast was ok, tasted like it had been sitting for a while and the coffee wasn't the best but I appreciate it is included in the room rate. As we were on the 5th floor, we had to use the elevator. This elevator was one of the slowest I've known and it takes forever to get up and down when there are a lot of people needing to use it. On the good side, the room is reasonably priced and the bathroom was very nice and clearly not long been refurbished. The location is also great near the beach and next to a lot of restaurants, bars, and shops.

This hotel is located literally a two minute walk from the beach,with bars and restaurants and It’s about a 15 minute walk to the port and old town.Wr stayed for 4 nights and I can honestly say it was a great find and we were so glad we stayed here.Can’t fault the staff both on reception and maids or the cleanliness of the hotel throughout.Rooms were quite small for a family but we only slept there and we had a decent size balcony which included table snd chairs and an airer for our clothes which was very useful.The rooms had free air con which worked fine and kept us cool at night.you just leave your key in the switch when you enter the room and it turns on.Also if you close and lock the patio door it automatically comes on.We found the beds very comfy and would have been changed,along with towels,every 3 days.which was fine for us.The pool was lovely and clean as was around the pool area.Sunbeds we’re always taken quite early though,so need to get one fast if wanting a pool day.We we’re given free towels to use for the pool and had to pay 5 euros refundable deposit if taking them to the beach.We didn’t eat or drink at this hotel so can’t comment about that.We can not fault this hotel and were so pleased we stayed here.After a two year wait to travel and having to change bookings several times,we were not disappointed.
