Very convenient location in symi. Great for the price

Beyond horrible, horrid.

A couple of comments for context. I have travelled almost half the world and I am a hotelier. From highly remote places to the palaces of St. Moritz. I know how to adapt. But I can only adapt to human conditions. Here it goes. Symi is a traditionally "steps and walk" island. The least you would expect is someone to assist with luggage, as there is no taxi access to most properties. Not available. We had to walk from the port to the venue, in scorching heat, over cobble stones, pulling luggage. On arrival, there is a sign, "there is no reception, call one of the (listed) numbers and someone will attend to you." What if I do not want to roam and call? Unacceptable. After several calls, eventually a fellow showed up and took us to our room. As they of course, do not care to prepare the rooms for arrival, the temperatures were hellish. They knew we had just walked close to a mile, but did not even care to have a bottle of water in the room - let alone offer us a refreshment. The split unit AC, not central, only operates when the key card is inserted, and at dismal levels at that. It drips, as a result of condensation. The bathroom gets soaked, as there is no divider to prevent shower water from spilling. The bedroom is up a set of stairs with its own AC unit, thank God, but, good luck trying to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, an accident waiting to happen, wrestling that steep staircase. They do not care, and make no effort to make you confortable. Obviously, NEVER again and telling our friends to book alternative accommodations. Greeks are hospitable, if that means, friendly and warm, but have zero guest service culture or conscioussness.

Gorgeous property in a garden setting. I would have liked deep cleaning of atleast the bathroom during my stay. The other option would be to leave a broom and dustpan in the studio. Location is very convenient. Basic facilities but that was expected. More utensils needed for the kitchen and a toaster would be nice. Otherwise, staff are very friendly and helpful and it’s great value for money. I would be happy to stay again.

Actually it was really very nice indeed

Stayed 5 nights and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We had a lovely large room with terrace (and hammock) shaded by bougainvillea in full bloom. Bed, shower & air con all very good. Plus it’s just yards from the harbour but quiet at night. Wouldn’t mind staying here again if and when we come back to Symi (which is also jolly nice).

Good location and beautiful garden

The location is great a short walk from the waterfront. The hotel garden is beautiful with plenty of space to relax. The rooms are very old school it feels a bit like the 80's but the beds were comfortable and it served its purpose. The staff are friendly and helpful. We were in the 4 people sharing the room and even though there is AC it only manages to cool down the main space (which sleeps two) and not the other room that sleep two. With some new furnishing and a little TLC this would be a 5 star establishment.
