“Fantastic hotel and staff”

Excellent hotel in all aspects , room was brilliant and maintained to a high standard, breakfast was very good and the staff in all areas fantastic with particular praise for Michael and Tania at the pool bar

“A lovely hotel, definitely made great by the staff.”

Overall a great experience! When we checked in it was quite late and we did have a few issues with the rooms we were allocated but Denise on reception got this sorted very quickly and we did manage to be reallocated 2 different rooms and pretty much all sorted. Its the staff that definitely make this hotel so a shout out to Tania, Michel, Vagia, Lisa, Denise, Chrisa & Alekos (think thats correct) as they all went above and beyond to help and make our holiday that little bit extra special. Rooms - Probably not quite as good as they look in the photos but generally clean and tidy. We hired a swim up room on our last day which was €45 for the day and well worth it as we had a late flight. You can also keep your existing room for €50 so the swim up one made more sense. You have a Kettle, Fridge & Iron in your room which is what most people tend to ask about Pool & Pool Bar - Pool area was lovely and generally quiet, easy to get a sunbed too throughout the day, probably helped by some people having a swim up room. The pool bar was great and the food was really good too! Michel, Tania & Lisa were always friendly and happy to chat to everyone. Hotel Restaurant - Breakfast was fantastic and plenty to choose from. Also good Gluten Free options which our friend needed and they accommodated it well. We also ate in the restaurant a couple of nights and again the food was fantastic and service brilliant by Vagia & Michail Area - There is a little shop attached which is owned by the hotel and sells everything you could need and reasonably priced too. Dont be put off by the hotel being built opposite either, we rarely noticed any noise or dust or anything so definitely not an issue. It's about a 15 minute walk to Eucalyptus Street which is the Main Street with the bars, shops & restaurants although there arent that many restaurants really but the ones there are very good. Kolymbia - Its only a small resort so not too much going on but a nice place to chill out and go out for a few drinks and meals etc - definitely not a party place. The beach nearest the hotel (Behind the hotel being built) isnt the best as its very pebbly and not very wide, also as the hotel is being built its not the best feeling at the moment The family have also just opened a new hotel nearby - The Landmark Villas & Spa, and we had a visit there one day as you can use their pool area for free and it was absolutely stunning! I am a travel agent so managed to get a tour of the Royal Villa and WOW it was absolutely stunning. Thank you Maria for showing us around and Mr Manuel for providing transport to and from the hotel. Overall - We have a good stay and would probably visit again even if just for the staff.

“Great little get away!”

We had a swim up room which was amazing and well cleaned daily. We ordered room service a couple of the nights, and it was great! And really reasonably priced. There is also a shop right next to the hotel that has anything you would need. The only thing I would mention which is not the fault of the hotel, is there is a new hotel being built right opposite but we had no issues with noise.

“The hotel did have potential.. not anymore”

Booked this for 4 nights for my birthday. Booked a shared transfer which took around 40min so not too far. Location is good as it’s nice and quiet and far away from centre of kolymbia where it gets busy but close enough that it’s a 15min walk. There’s a bus stop right outside which we used to go… more

Booked this for 4 nights for my birthday. Booked a shared transfer which took around 40min so not too far. Location is good as it’s nice and quiet and far away from centre of kolymbia where it gets busy but close enough that it’s a 15min walk. There’s a bus stop right outside which we used to go to lindos, old town and tsambika beach etc (however the bus for Kalithea springs never came and we wait over 1.5hrs) There’s a shop “attached” to the hotel which was very useful for drinks and snacks. Now to the hotel, yes, there is still building works opposite the hotel and it’s definitely not nearly done. Didn’t affect us with noise or dust even though our room “faced” the sea. There was one time when we were by the pool a very loud lorry was parked right outside with its engine on doing stuff which was annoying. Talking about the pool area, plenty of sunbeds available however they did need cleaning as the beds had stains all over (even glancing at the swim up pools, not a very pretty sight for people walking by). The pool was clean and good music playing. I did notice the small pool that the tile had fallen off on the slope that falls into the large pool. The room 505 now; they do new updating and modernising. There were exposed wires, patched up walls and fixtures looked tired. Our room was right above the entrance/reception so not much to see especially with the building works to the sea. The aircon wasn’t strong/working so we had to keep the blinds closed throughout the stay to keep the heat out. It’s definitely not suitable for the hot weather. Bathroom was small and very annoying as you have to manoeuvre around to close the door. The shower did not need to be that big and was just wasted space. It was also very tired looking. It looked like they attempted to put a new show floor but the flooring wasn’t long enough so was patched up. First night there was no power in the shower and the rainfall shower head was clogged up with limescale that only 5 holes were working. We complained about the pressure the next morning and it improved, still not the best. The shower head was cleaned. Disappointing that the first night I found toothpaste on the side of the sink, it was still there on the last day…. Little petty things like no soft closing wardrobes or toilet seats, the iron was useless as it wasn’t steam, the room could’ve been organised as it was a tight path between the end of the bed and table. The good points. -The staff were amazing and friendly both in the hotel, restaurant and bar staff. -Buffet was decent. A nice selection and a rotation on the hot food (they need to cover the fruit as there’s flies flying on them) -having beach towels available was useful as it saves space in our cabin bags. - they have a cute veg patch at the back on the way to the pool -nice size room and balcony with a cloth dryer. - location. There’s a shingled beach just behind the building works. There’s a nicer sandy beach at the end of eucalyptus road (sunbeds 2 for €15) -it’s adults only! -the tabby cat that lives at the hotel was well looked after! Overall I had very high hopes due to the pictures. It does look lovely at night with the lights on but it does need some tlc. You can see it had potential in the pass (it won best hotel in 2015). Would I stay again.. unfortunately not as I would choose a more modern hotel.
