Areti Aparthotel ★★★

"This is the most difficult rating I’ve ever done. The outside of the hotel and the grounds and the pool were pristine and modern. It looks like it would be a really fun place to hang out in the summer. But our room #2 was straight from a 1950’s New York tenement. There were twin beds that were literally sleeping on springs. No mattress, no mattress pad , just springs. This was a new experience and one I don’t want to repeat. The owners were very nice. And I can only hope they intend to bring the room quality up to the same quality as the exterior. There was no hand or bath soap but when we asked for it, they were happy to oblige. So I can only assume the maid just forgot. Pretty much everything in the room was old and run down. When we pulled down the bedspread, it was stained. The interior was the complete opposite of the exterior. I don’t use the coffee in the rooms but I’ve noticed it’s always there except at this hotel. I’m trying hard to think of good things about the room. There was a hair dryer and I’m assuming it worked though I didn’t try as I really didn’t want to touch anything I didn’t have to. There was a tiny safe but it wouldn’t fit computers. There were plenty of places to set your luggage. The view from the balcony was fantastic. There is no screen door so you can’t keep the door open at night so you need to run the A/C all night to stay cool. We’re normally awake until midnight but we went to sleep at 9 hoping to forget about our surroundings as soon as possible. The room might have been clean but it was so worn that I really couldn’t tell. Sleeping was quiet until the rooster started crowing about an hour before dawn."
