Mountain View Hotels in Kallithea

Another absolutely brilliant stay at the Elysium. Everything was perfect and made so special by Ioannis at reception and also the wonderful Maria. Marilena and Manolis ensured eating was brilliant every day as always . We are always made so welcome and we especially loved our beautiful romantic room 1432 ! Housekeeping were super and always left us beautiful little treats in our room . Thankyou so much, see you next year again 💙

Me and my partner just got back from our trip here and both of us weren’t really impressed, would give 2.5 if we could. Firstly, this hotel needs to be advertised as a hotel for families. The reason we booked here was because through Tui and on the hotel website there was very little mention of just how family and children based this hotel would be. Granted, we did go in half term, however I am a teacher and this is really the only time we can go away, we’ve never had this issue with hotels in the past. Our stay was mostly nice, however, the sheer number of families and children running around you during meal times and throughout the day made it an uncomfortable stay. The behaviour of the children is not the hotel’s responsibility, however, a rule should really be implemented so there is no playing or running around the restaurant area at dinner. There is an adult only section, however, many families were sat there as that had space and when it was quiet children were allowed to run through it and play in the area. This area was also closed for the last 3 days of our stay. What’s the point of having an adult area if you aren’t going to enforce it? There are only 2 bars in the whole hotel which wouldn’t be a problem, however, there are so many people staying and so few staff that there were always queues. The lounge bar didn’t allow takeaway so you are forced to walk all the way down to the beach bar for takeaway drinks and this bar closed at 6pm so if you want to takeaway a cocktail after dinner to enjoy in your room, you weren’t allowed. It gives off the impression that you are all inclusive but they didn’t really want you using the facilities as it costs them too much. There wasn’t enough seating in the lounge bar after dinner and as there wasn’t any other form of entertainment for people other than families or children you are forced into the lounge where you may be sat miles away from the bar to get a drink and even then you had to wait for someone to come and bring you a drink. As all the restaurants got booked immediately we had to eat in the buffet every night which was absolutely rammed with queues and children running around your legs. The food was ok but extremely oily, the pizza from the pizza oven was lovely. The staff were always amazing and so helpful. The facilities are stunning and the pool is lovely and quiet during the day. The room was very clean and spacious. Overall not great but had some nice bits.
