  : Room was clean, had everything you need.
  : Felt like I was in boarding school. There were so many rules at reception, and I received more rules via text while we were there. The room was very bare with no artwork, decor... nothing, which is strange since it is such an arty island. When we checked out, they analyzed each towel one by one in front of us for stains before giving our deposit back. Would not recommend this place at all. Pictures did not match the place. There were no swings, beach towels, and views that were misleading.

  : The staff was super helpful - on our first day, the woman at reception - I believe her name was Eleni - went through a map of Milos with us, showing us the beaches worth visiting, and those worth skipping on our short stay, and also gave us recommendations for restaurants and places with good views throughout the island. They were kind enough to do a load of laundry for us, since we'd just come from vacationing in another area of Europe, and the price were very reasonable. I think 8 a kilo, and they had it all nicely folded and brought it back to us. Very nice room, with a great view of the sea off our front balcony, and a nice balcony off the back of the room as well. The bed was very comfortable. They provided anything you could think to need - corkscrew, espresso maker, water kettle and tea, plates, flatware, a milk frother, what looked like a sandwich press (though we didn't use that), hair dryer, makeup remover cloths, beach towels, you name it. Very considerate of their guests. Wifi was strong - better than some other hotels we've stayed at. Breakfast was a sort of continental buffet, and had fruit, pastries, eggs, cereal, yogurt, all the staples. We only went one morning, but enjoyed it! We had rented a car, which I think was a good thing, since it was a little far away from some things if you didn't have one. But for us it was perfect - not too busy of an area.
  : The counter space is a little limited in the bathroom, so getting ready in there was not overly convenient for my wife, but there is a nice desk and chair out in the room that worked well. One light in our room flickered on and off throughout our stay, which was mildly annoying, but we mostly left the curtains open and let in the sunlight instead of turning on the lights, so we really only noticed it at night. I'm sure they would have fixed it if we'd mentioned it - we just didn't really think to because it was such a time-limited issue. Overall, really nothing of any significance, and certainly nothing that would prevent us from returning.

  : Great communication with Ilias , at the checkin we got a welcome bottle of water ( the water is not drinkable on the island). The hotel has a great space for parking, The breakfast is complete and good. The hotel is 6 min by car to Pollonia, great place for restaurants, and around 12/16 min by car to Adamas and Plaka, great for sunset, restaurants and markets.
  : Although the shower is well done and with a nice water pressure, the showerhead should have a support to dont have to keep it all the time during the shower.

  : The rooms were very lovely especially with the beautiful sea views, and sea breezes. The place was perfectly appointed, including a very comfortable bed. The manager Ilias went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. The hotel is situated very near some of the best beaches in Milos. Id definitely return.
