Lindos Portes Suites - Adults Only

The room I chose was pretty small, with only one seat, and a window to the stairs only. It was fairly clean but there was a bad smell from the bathroom. Still, overall value for money.

Don't book this place. Large flying cockroaches throughout the hallways, stairs, and common areas. We returned from dinner to find them everywhere and had to seal our room to keep them out. My girlfriend couldn't sleep until 3am worrying about them getting in. The hotel is also directly next to a busy bus terminal with loud noise starting at 6:30am - completely undisclosed in the listing. Between the cockroaches and the bus noise, we got maybe 3 hours of sleep. Called management who promised pest control, but hours later the hallways were still crawling with roaches. We packed up and left immediately. When we emailed asking for a refund due to the health hazard, their response was basically "thanks for staying, come back anytime." The lack of accountability is almost as bad as the cockroaches. There are plenty of clean hotels in Lindos. Skip this one unless you enjoy sharing your vacation with uninvited six-legged roommates.

Portes Suites - Lindos The Portes Suites are very nice and well kept, they accommodated an early check in for us which we really appreciated. The only thing I would say about the apartments in the entrance hall is very echoey and noisy when people coming in late at night.

Pleasant stay Lovely room, well appointed. Friendly and helpful staff. Plenty of parking, however, Suites not easy to find due to small sign on a wall above a Cafe/bar. A little noisy at times as situated above bar and across road from bus station

The important thing visitors need to know about this accommodation is that there is no front entrance or reception desk - which I wasn't aware of when I arrived, in the dark, on my own (lone female traveller). It's just off the open area opposite the bus terminal, but the entrance is tucked away, round the back of one of the two supermarkets. You go up a flight of steps at the side of the building, and in through a back door. The key to your room is in a number-coded box outside the room door. Having said all that, the room itself was lovely, very clean, with a great view of the acropolis, nice bathroom, good kitchen facilities. Other reviewers have said it was noisy, with the bus station directly opposite and a bar nearby, but I didn't find this a problem at all. The location is great, convenient for walking down the hill to the main town, and with two supermarkets and a great swimming pool bar next door. I also thought it was really good that, in advance of my arrival, I could order a few essentials from an online supermarket, to be waiting in my room when I got there. So, no complaints about the accommodation itself, but you do need to be aware that it's a little tricky to find your way in when you first arrive, and there are no staff to ask for local information etc, just (very good) cleaners.

We booked this place last minute, based on the review and its position. No complaints about the room. Spacious and clean and equipped as described. Good aircon and safe included in the price. Maid service top notch. However, there was one thing they didn't bother to mention, and I'm confident it's not an oversight. That is, that the minute you opened the door to use your balcony you are assailed by the deafening noise of the extractor unit for the restaurant downstairs, and by the accompanying hot stench, primarily of stale cooking oil, but with the odd recognisible recipe thrown in. This was delivered by way of a large metal pipe which emerged at the balcony level of the next apartment. That apartment seemed to have been abandoned (although I was told otherwise). See photos, which also show the rubbish in the yard below our balcony and the cut off balcony rail. I rang the number provided after our first night and spoke to Nicky. I politely explained that I was very unhappy with the situation and asked to be moved to another room. She told me there were no other rooms, either in the Suites or the hotel. All the time we were talking Nicky was punctuating the conversation with what I imagine she felt were reassuring, "uh-huhs". In fact they were intensely irritating, and it soon became apparent that they were actually just her way of saying, "I really couldn't care less". When I asked why they even dared to rent the place out, and pointed out that the next door apartment was clearly not used, she assured me that it was, and would be occupied "in the next few days". This was an outright lie; we were there six more days and it remained empty, and the balcony strewn with rubbish, when we left. So, on a holiday where the daytime temperature never dropped below 30 degrees, if we wanted to use the outside space we would face noise levels comparable with those you face when leaving airport departures to walk to your plane while its engines are warming up, and a continuous blast of hot air reminiscent of a seat near the kitchen at a Greasy Spoon. Our routine on a Greek holiday is to eat breakfast on the balcony and to have drinks there before and after venturing out for dinner. So this is not a frivolous review. Our holiday was spoiled, and spoiled because Lindos Portes are willing to rent this hell hole out without mentioning in any way what their "guests" are in for. It's shabby and smacks of just being unable to turn down the money. They obviously won't use the place next door, because the huge (uncovered) extractor pipe actually terminates at its balcony, but just can't resist keeping this one on the books, even though its only feet away. I'll make it clear - I seek no "compensation" from LIndos Portes. Frankly, I wouldn't touch them again with a barge pole. I simply want prospective customers to know what they're in for if they're allocated room 1. And also what to expect by way of customer service, if my experience is anything to go by, shoul
