Greek hospitality in crisis... Greek hospitality in crisis...

Hotel for very unpretentious tourists. There is never anyone at the reception, from the staff there is only one girl with whom you can chat by calling SOS-number, or at breakfast when she washes the dishes. There is also an elderly woman (probably the hostess) who looks after everything, and in the evenings sits on a chair near the hotel and says "hello" to everyone, + a couple of cleaners who constantly forget to either put clean towels or sheets... But they clean regularly . The furniture and fixtures in the rooms are old. Either the shelf in the closet falls off, then the blinds on the balcony get stuck, then pallets fall out of the refrigerator (by the way, it’s almost impossible to put anything in it, because it’s full of shelves and pallets). In the shower, the curtain does not reach the floor, respectively, in the bathroom there is a constant flood. There is a bottle of liquid soap terribly green and very diluted and slimy, for washing it is better to take something of your own. The dishes in the kitchenette, according to the sensations, are not washed after the guests, everything is very sticky (a sponge for washing dishes is not included in the kitchenette). Audibility is good, especially in the bathroom, you can hear sighs and other sounds coming from the toilets of neighboring rooms. The TV works with varying success, some buttons on the remote control do not work, or even everything. Air conditioning is paid - 8 euros / day, in the summer it is impossible to be in the room without it. Check-in at the hotel (especially at night) is peculiar: notes are left at the reception with the names of the expected guests and the keys to the room (welcome! ), i. е. no one registers you and does not even monitor whether you have settled or not. Either the crisis hit them like that, or it's just a feature of this particular hotel... Air conditioning was not provided to us on the first night, although we paid for it in advance. The "call girl" whom we called in the night by SOS-number argued that she did not have such information, and now it is too late to resolve this issue, because the keys to the shield are locked. She looks like this all the time, as if she didn’t have time to wake up either from a hangover, or else she didn’t have time to wake up - her tongue is tangled, her legs too, her facial expression is absent and indifferent. Breakfast: so-so, but you can eat up - muesli, cheese, sausage, tomatoes, eggs (or sausages, however, sometimes there is neither one nor the other), cookies, muffins, bread, butter, jam, yogurt, tea, coffee and, perhaps everything. Yes, more fruits - rotten grapes (most often), sometimes figs and melons once, but they turned out to be wormy.
In general, of the advantages of this hotel, only a good location can be noted - right by the sea, which, if desired, can even be seen from the room. It is located in the very center of Faliraki on the bar-street, where all the cereal establishments and shops are concentrated. For active (very active) tourism, not designed to spend most of the time in the hotel, it will do.
