We found the staff really friendly and helpful here, throughout our stay. On the day we checked out early to go to the port to catch a ferry, which was subsequently cancelled, we returned to the hotel and they took our bags in and allowed us the free breakfast we normally got, even though we had officially left, this was really nice of them as we were in a bit of stress as we had no way of getting to our next stop to Santorini. The hotel was very clean and tidy and food lovely at breakfast.
