Captain Manolis

We were stopping over in Paros for one night on route to another island so we just needed a bed for the night. The hotel provided this for us at a cheap rate but we wouldn’t stay there for a longer period of time for the following reasons. Whilst the bed was made on arrival, the previous guests toiletries were left in the shower. The fridge wasn’t plugged in on arrival (it did cool down quickly though). There was rubbish under the bed. The curtain may as well have not been there - it was so sheer that we think people could have seen in at night when our lights were on and it didn’t block any light out in the morning. No one checked us in, we had to call a number and they told us our room number. Mugs were provided but no kettle. Like I said above, we needed a bed for the night and it gave us this. It was located close to the port and restaurants. But a below average hotel.

Neglected The place is neglected and in need of better ownership/management. AC was not working, light fixtures without light bulbs. The beds were very old and uncomfortable. Not all rooms have a refrigerator. The cleaning staff was wonderful and tried to accommodate us the best they could but it was obvious that they were overwhelmed.

We were never greeted. No one was ever at reception during our 4 days of stay. The place was empty and the front gate was often locked so we had to go in through the back. Luckily, after 2 hours or so of waiting in the lobby when we first got there, we happened to stumble accross a friend of the owners who called him and gave us our room. The only contact we had with the owner was on out last day when he knocked on our door to tell us to leave early. He even asked for a tip which we didn’t give for obvious reasons. Luckily the place was pretty and located in a nice area.
