Anaxos Garden

We weren't overly impressed with the hotel.Im sure the family rooms are ok but we had room 5 and that was all it was apart from the shower room.The shower needs replacing because it is showing signs of age.The cleaners obviously don't do a thorough clean before you arrive,all the plates, cutlery and the cooker and sink were dirty. The beds are farely comfortable with regular linen changes and clean towels so at least you can get a good night's rest. Air con worked fine and that's about it . The Wi Fi? forget it .You would be better off with 2 tin cans and a piece of string. We are beach people and the whole thing with the free sunbedsbif you eat/drink thing is a pain.But we got some entertainment at the Gardens with the towel war every morning round the pool. On a plus side there's a well stocked supermarket 100 yards away with a great little grill/resteraunt next door.

Recently had a lovely weeks stay at Anaxos Gardens. Family of 4 (children 7&9years). Our first time to Lesvos but we’ve been to a number of Greek islands before. The accommodation suited us perfectly. We were expecting just one room but we had an apartment with 2 sofa bed type single beds and an additional bedroom with a double bed in. Basic (as we always expect on our self-catering Greek holidays) but everything we needed in the room. Room was kept clean, bins and towels changed regularly. The only thing that was missing was a tea towel and a dustpan and brush so we could have swept the patio floor if any food was dropped. Air con was brilliant (I think we paid around €49 for this when we arrived for the week)-I think some of the other apartments have slightly older models of air con that didn’t work as well as ours. The apartments are set out in a few blocks and there are lovely plants and trees around that make the setting beautiful. Pool clean and we always got a sunbed whatever time of day we turned up. Pool bar reasonably priced and serve a lovely gyros for only a few euros! Location is ideal- Supermarkets, plenty of tavernas and beach all a short walk away. The nearby beach is coarse sand, lots of bars and tavernas along the beach that have sun beds you can use if you are buying drinks/food from them. If it’s not cloudy you can sit at one of the tavernas to watch the sunset. All the food and drinks seem just a little cheaper than in the other areas of Greece we have recently visited. We used the street train one day to explore a bit further afield, we also took a pedalo boat out a couple of days which our kids loved. There were a few more water sports available from the stall on the beach as well. There were a few people staying at Anaxos gardens who have been coming repeatedly for years which shows how highly both the apartments and the area are rated by those who visit! We had a great family holiday, feel we struck lucky as it was exactly what we hoped and more!

Clean and sufficient for a budget holiday. Demetri was especially helpful when I had to pester him each time I had a problem. He also does a lovely BBQ on Sundays. Well kept pool. Best thing about the area is the Village Train that picks up outside the Malibu Restaurant and takes you to Petra and Molyvos.
