Oktober Downtown Boutique Hotel

“Oktober Downtown Boutique Hotel.”

Nice little hotel close to New Town and the Beach. The staff are just great and nothing is too much trouble for them. The breakfasts are ok with a good selection of eggs, bacon, sausage, bread, rolls, cereal and fruits. The rooms are neat and tidy and quite modern. If you get one with a pool view... more

Nice little hotel close to New Town and the Beach. The staff are just great and nothing is too much trouble for them. The breakfasts are ok with a good selection of eggs, bacon, sausage, bread, rolls, cereal and fruits. The rooms are neat and tidy and quite modern. If you get one with a pool view they are reasonably quiet too. I would stay again for sure.

“Great little hotel in an excellent location”

We stayed for 7 nts with Jet 2 and found this hotel to be clean and comfortable, The best is its location being 10/15 minutes walk into the old town and 10 mins walk to the center and beaches in both directions 5/10 mins. I had requested a high room with a sunny balcony as I was celebrating a special big birthday whilst we were away. As I had not received a reply to my request it was a case of get what your given, I think having been to the hotel I doubt many of the rooms have sunny balconies for long in the day due to the time of year we awere there and it being a city location surrounded by other buildings. We had room 204 which was facing another block of apartments their balconies and their pool so not a view as such, but its a city. Could have been worse as if we had been room 202 or 200 we would have been facing a blank wall. Anyway we never sat on the balcony as we were out all the time. The bed was comfortable and we were provided with bath robes and slippers to save on the towel usuage. Walk in shower and as as usual in Greece not best sealed so water leaked out if you were in too long. Soon dried out. Air con and safe were included in the price which was nice and it was needed as around 33 during day and only down to 27 at night on some nights. 2 small bottles of water on arrival. No chair at the desk/dressing table in the room so took the one from the balcony to use. Not alot of storage for clothes but would be fine for a 3/4 day city break. No facility to hang your beach towels and swimwear anywhere and the balcony is glass with a hand rail and no gaps so we used the towel pegs which fortunately were large enough to secure things to the hand rail to dry. Its windy so you need to find some way to stop things blowing away. Again more a city break hotel than a beach or pool hotel. Sunbeds are comfy and pool nice a quick dip to cool off for a few hours. No sunbeds available 2 days into our holiday being reserved by placing towels by invisible people at breakfast. The hotel was full and if everyone wanted to use the pool area there was no space, and limited beds available. The hotel provide towels for you to use by the pool if they have not been taken by the invisible people sometimes 2 towels on the beds, sad. Breakfast was good for us plenty of meats, cheese, fruit, bread, jam, honey, cakes and cereals. Can't comment on hot food as we didn't eat any. Be aware kitchen said they do not have decaf coffee if you need it but I had taken my own and no alternative milks. I guess you need to ask at reception when you check in or email them before if you need something different. We hired a car for 5 days from Ruote few minutes down the road great value and gave us a chance to see a bit more of the island and visit Santa Marina beach which was only a 15-minute drive and was a fabulous bay with calm waters we preferred to the north west coast beach to the left of the hotel and the big town beach to the right of the hotel too many sunbeds. If you do hire a car you can easily park behind the Semiramis City Hotel avoiding the one-way narrow streets in town. Its only a few minutes back to Oktober. All the staff were really friendly and couldn't do enough if you needed assistance. Rooms were cleaned everyday and towels and linen changed as needed. Ideal location for eating out you are surrounded by bars and restaurants and if you go to the old town there is even more choice. I would say good value and lovely food. Highly recommend for a city break.
