Hanioti Hotel

First of all I have to appreciate the cleanliness and the job well done by the cleaning personnel working hard all the day to keep an immaculate cleaning for all the areas. Towels and sheets were clean and changed regularly, room was cleaned in a timely manner every day. Lovely small terrace to enjoy the breakfast (but have to wake-up early or wait since it has a max capacity of 16 persons but cannot be used at full capacity as space for the seats is narrow enough and you'll need to have space to move to the buffet for self servicing. Communication with the owner after booking was also good, I appreciate the commitment to offer a parking place in response to my request.

Despite that it is easy manageable to solve by "asking for" to the owner, it's obvious that it is not the right way to treat the customers paying for hotel services: shower towels are provided only on demand, no shampoo or shower gel provided at all - only two small soaps for the entire stay, so please consider to take your own with you or buy from the nearby shops. Bathroom is very basic and outdated, spashing water over the floor while taking shower is innerent. Breakfast selection (the same every day) is "low budget driven", especially the soft drinks are terrible (cheapest ones, full of chemical and no taste) and getting of an espresso instead of the low strengths filtered coffee (offered by default) is again subject of "asking for" to the owner. Only separate beds are offered in the double rooms, so if you are looking for a king size double bed, forget about! Owner's hospitality is a "cold professional" one, not the warm one specific for Greece, but this is not a matter of complain, just a personal remark. Noisy environment in vicinity caused by entertainment area in front of the hotel and the nearby businesses operating to midnight. Nearby beach is dirty, narrow and crowded enough, full of immigrants and Greek guys selling donuts that are making a lot of noise and disturbing the tourists paying 8 eur / sun beds daily without getting anyting in exchange. Rude personnel on the beach were getting nervous when asked what are we paying for since they are not even cleanning the beach or keep the ambulant traders away.(as I saw being a regular practice in various other locations I've been stayed in Greece.) Overall - if you want to pay high prices for poor quality - go to Hanioti - the worst experience I had in Greece.
