Excellent service from the staff, wonderful views of the mountains and town below, great morning breakfast. The only thing that lowered the rating was the beds were extremely hard and the air conditioner didn’t keep the rooms cool. Although, these are common findings in Greece. Would stay there again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Amazing views from room (if on the right side), and fair hotel, but could do with a make-up. Staff was friendly and accomodating, but seems like the hotel needs a fresh breath of air. Rooms very good, but minor issue such as broken showerholder (not recent) etc. showed lack of care. A lack of link between what was on the poolbar menu, and what the bar actually offered (much more limited) etc. All of the above does not really fit with the price of the hotel. The restaurant next door made up for some of this, as this offered great views for a drink and/or dinner. The food here is also great.

Το δωμάτιο ήταν ευρύχωρο, με μεγάλο μπαλκόνι. Γενικά ήταν καθαρό. Ο χώρος στάθμευσης αρκετά μεγάλος, το πρωινό είχε αρκετή ποικιλία. Το προσωπικό ήταν εξυπηρετικό.

I loved the relaxed decor, the relaxed atmosphere, the attentive but not too attentive staff, who were friendly and helpful. It’s a shame the pool is not open earlier in the cooler morning and later in the evening. It’s such a wonderful pool.

Jättefin, lugn, lagom stor med fin Pool och det mesta som kan önskas. Bra frukost och gångavstånd till närmste byn med restaurang, osv…. Vackert område rätt långt upp på en berg. Bra att ha tillgång till en bil för att göra utflykter i området.

Too expensive for what you get

The hotel could do with a refurbishment and paying a bit more attention to its guests, breakfast was average. Having said that the location was great, 20 minutes from Volos and fantastic views, the bed was comfortable and the pool was a plus.
