Coliseum Studios & Apartments

Das Apartment an sich war ok...viele Ameisen auf dem Balkon. Klimaanlage kostete 20€ am Tag extra! Stand nirgends in der Hotelbeschreibung! Abzocke...und statt 8€ Tax wurde uns 16€ Tax für 4 Nächte berechnet... Beides natürlich OHNE Rechnung :(

I feel I need to write a review here to offset some of the negative reviews I have read before I even went to this place. Most of the review here i cannot agree with. I don't know if people are just too demanding, have higher expectations than what is advertised or generally the boomer generation that wants the moon on a stick, and then be able to eat the moon. I visited for a week on Aug 4th and I have nothing g but praise for the place, Dianne, a very friendly day lady who has worked there a long time does not stop. The owner Paul works tiresly keeping the place going which he built with his father back in The 80s. And his Son who was super friendly and helpful. We felt very welcome here. As this was my daughters first holiday I wanted it to be memorable and it did not disappoint. We have a 2 bed apartment with a balcony at the back which caught the much needed breeze as it was super hot. The front door on the first floor looked over the gorgeous pool and plants that surrounded the area. Don't come here expecting 5 star apartments. The rooms are basic and functional. They are really clean and tidy. Beds are comfy. You have an area with fridge and kettle ect for tea or to prep some humous and bread sticks from the shop literally 1 min walk away. The bathroom and plumbing is Greek. Yes it's all a bit antiquated, but this is Greece. It adds to the charm and I was more than happy sat on the balcony with a cup of tea . People's reviews here showing a dirt mark or moaning about a chip in the toilet , moaning the toaster had rust on it... I could go on but seriously, like go outside and see where you are? Why are you indoors for? Air conditioning worked a dream for us, not sure why again people are moaning. We only used for a couple of days as on a tight budget but we ended up having too as it was 40 degrees by the time we left. People saying 20 eur is alot. The hotel makes 5 eur profit out of that as electricity is super expensive in Greece. 5 eur to then maintain the air con units. Not much is it? The people moaning about ants. It's Greece. There are ants literally everywhere and mozzies and cats! Tip.. don't want ants in the apartment? Clean up after yourself. I had ants once as I had left a bottle of cocktail out . Only time we had them . Location, literally 5 mins walk to a beautiful turquoise beach surrounded by rocks for some amazing snorkeling. 5 mins the other way and you on the main ***** of shops, bars, eateries. It's just lovely . Good bus links too and cheap to go visit lindos up road which was 2 eur or further afield. The pool. Wow. Super clean, the guys put alot of chems in every night and it's just gorgeous and deep too. Chilling by the pool was definitely a highlite of this place. Worth noting we upgraded to bed and breakfast and trust me we didn't not need lunch for most of the holiday! To round off I would reiterate by saying keep your expectations set as you are not coming to a 5 star resort. You w

Wasn't all doom and gloom as the location is perfect, the pool was great and always enough sun Loungers! However the rooms are grim!! I've stayed in Pefkos many times and in different hotels and not bothered by old decor! However this place needs a serious referb! Bathroom was disgusting badly stained toilet and seat, rust on shower and taps! I even wore my flip flops to shower. Stayed for 7 nights and only had hot water once (didn't complain about thin though as it was refreshing) paid €120 euro for aircon and my room was so hot it was better sat on the balcony! Had a 2 bed apartment and the aircon is placed in the hallway above the door and only blows into one room, never once got cold so was constantly hot and sticky so the cold shower was actually welcomed! ANTS!! our room was covered in them constantly even though we was on the top floor. All over kitchen sides and in fridge it was grim! I did empty bins daily to try and help the situation but it didn't! Only supplied 1 toilet roll and towels and bedding were changed once and on our 6th day of a 7 day stay which seemed pointless. Was really disappointed with our stay. Thankfully we had friends on other hotels so did just use this hotel as a place to sleep and get ready. Wouldn't stay here again
