Alkyon Hotel

I have stopped at this hotel many times, both with my husband and travelling alone. I much prefer the basement rooms, why? There is little relief from the heat on the other floors, the basement is always cool. And you also have a grassed area you can sit out on. So guys, if you are shown to the basement, be thankful.

Had a Fantastic week with friends and already booked for next year. Staff are super friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Big shout out to Elsa, Monica, Anna and all the reception team. Only person who didn’t smile was the restaurant manager. Rooms were super clean and beds comfy. The hotel is close to all the lovely back streets of Greece as well as the port. 20 minute walk to the nearest beach. THE ONE NEGATIVE!!! As mentioned by others the sun bed situation. You can only get one if you are an early riser or set your alarm. Towels left on sunbeds unattended for ages, there are signs stating towels would be removed after 30 minutes but this never happened. You can manage to get a rocking chair next to the pool later, this is what we did. This never put us off and can’t wait to return m, see you next September. x

Staff were so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was five star great choice and excellent chef and staff. Slight lack of sunbeds around pool which needed a firmer hand as some people left towels on for hours but had gone else where. When I asked reception staff they did remove towels so we could sit on a sunbed. This was the holiday makers in fault as they were selfish. Rooms good facilities great air con and very clean rooms. Loved the kettle and fridge. Great location.

Modern (in Greek terms) hotel with very pleasant lounge area. We have just returned home from staying 9 nights. The staff are very good and friendly. We are used to Greek breakfasts, however this hotel disappoints in that department. Many options just not great ones. First the coffee is horrid. Bread disappointing. We would normally eat local, as in typical Greek influenced hotel breakfast. But found myself eating the Greek version of a British cooked breakfast as that was better then the alternatives. Greece to me was known as the place to have fresh bread, local honey/ good feta, watermelon and such. I wouldn't normally be seen with beans, and scrambled eggs on a Mediterranean holiday. Would be nice to have a proper walk in shower (this is supposed to be a 4star hotel. PS. Don't stay at this hotel if you want to use a pool or sit by one sunning yourself, because it's very small (minute) and the number of sunbeds probably insufficient for a family of 10, let alone a hotel full of guests.

Lovely hotel at ground level in a good location, so no hills to walk up. Breakfast excellent with large choice, had no other meals there. Room was ok but had no view and was a bit of a disappointment as we were there for two weeks. Staff good, at all times. Needed to get to the pool very early to get a sunbed, that was a little disappointing as well.
