Lida Hotel

Like no place I’ve stayed before. Booked for location and price, I really just wanted somewhere to sleep the night, and for that it did the job. I asked a lot from reception being a foreign national and they were really helpful. Breakfast is a bargain. You get a lot for €5 and they bring it to your room. The different part is, which I probably could have figured from the pics, was it seemed to be aimed at amorous couples 18+ only (don’t bring the kids). Saw many couples come and go (excuse the pun) staying for just a few hours. Didn’t bother me particularly although did feel a bit lonely knowing everyone else had “company” 😞, and maybe a bit uncomfortable knowing what the many previous occupants had been up to in my room. Decent location though and bar/snacks reasonably priced. Major downside, the whole place does smell of a combination of cigarettes and perfume, which is not unusual Greece as smoking laws are a lot more relaxed than the UK, gave me a bit of a headache until I got used to it. This is a 2 star hotel, which is probably a bit harsh tbh, I’ve stayed in a lot of Hotels in Greece and there are some very bad ones, I’d say this is probably a 3 star. All in all, if your after somewhere to sleep or a discrete liaison, it’s quite, the beds are comfortable enough and staff are very helpful.
