amazing syros stay!

tasteful decorboutique stylegreat selectionmissing information

the staff was kind! i got helpful suggestions for visiting empouli and ciel beach club (i loved it!). the bedrooms showcased tasteful decor, complementing the lovely boutique hotel style. breakfast featured a great selection, with lunch by the pool offering wide range of options.

the hotel didn't provide any information about the hotel itself or the area. i stayed for a week so i think it's useful.

the hotel is located right next to a mini market. the beach is also very close.

I stayed for seven nights, and there was no information about the hotel. the room was small with too much furniture. It felt cramped. the bathroom was also tiny, and water leaked from the shower. It created a smell.

the pool area was acceptable. the pool itself was clean, a positive point.

I was disappointed by the room size. It felt quite cramped with too much furniture. the bathroom was excessively small. It was difficult to move around the toilet and shower. the shower design allowed water to escape constantly. this wasn't the relaxing stay i had hoped for.

The staff were friendly and knowledgeable! The restaurant had a great menu. Breakfast included a nice variety of options, both sweet and savory. The pool area provided a relaxing atmosphere.

The bus service to the main town only runs three times a day in May.

Breakfast had a great selection with many homemade options. I noticed fresh orange juice, fruit platters and a wide range of cocktails offered. The food prices are reasonable for a 4-star hotel. All of it was tasty.
