spacious balcony fine view late opening minimal equipment

My room included a spacious balcony. It gave me fine views. Breakfast offered a huge selection of items each morning. I thought that the food was AMAZING!!!

The gym did not open until 9 AM, I thought that was late. There was minimal gym equipment. I would have liked to see a greater selection of machines.

free shuttle city center panoramic view restaurant gym equipment more machines smoking balconies hotel control

the hotel provided a free shuttle to the city center. it saved me the trouble of finding parking. the breakfast was quite good with a great variety of options. i especially enjoyed the panoramic view from the restaurant (it was lovely).

the gym was a bit of a letdown. the equipment was minimal, and i missed having more machines. also, i found that people smoked on the balconies. i guess the hotel can't really control that.

Really good Stay with Shuttle Service

greek products quality food free shuttle shuttle convenience

I found the breakfast to have a variety of local Greek products and good quality food. The hotel offers free shuttle buses to the city center. The swimming pool was quite refreshing and well-kept, I could easily relax. I appreciated the convenience of the shuttle, it saved time.

The soap dispensers in the bathroom were placed a bit high, this resulted in some dripping and inconvenience.
