“Cheap,dirty hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

person found this review helpful

I visited this hotel with a friend during winter, and we had a not so pleasant expirience. The hotel was emplty, as the area around. I suppose it must be better during the summer, but it was almost frightening in the winter. The owners were really polite and helpfull, but I think they should just keep it closed in winter. The room was not really clean.The sheets had stains on them and they had put the upper sheet folded, so the blanket was touching the other sheet.This was really disgusting, as the blankets are used by many people and they are not cleaned often. They did change the dirty sheet, telling us that the stain was made by the washing machine-maybe it was but they should have seen it!!!You pay extra for A/C, but I have to tell that the room was warm enough and heating was not necessary. The room is strange-they have renovated some things and some were old, making it look rather ugly. We stayed in the ground floor, in front of the pool, which must be noizy in the summer, but we had no noise problem. The matresses are old, making a lot of noise and were unconfortableThe price was reasonable, but I think someone can find more clean budget places in the area!

Room Tip: Do not visit this hotel during the winter time Do not stay in room viewing the pool, especially if...

“Great location, chilled and laid back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2009

Eleni Palace is in an ideal position for the beach, tavernas and the bus. It has a very laid back atmosphere, it is clean and it has its own pool that is open to non-residents. The hot water issue that has been mentioned on other sites has been resolved and we had piping hot water 24x7 on demand. If you are looking for somewhere to chill and relax and enjoy the sunshine then this is the place. The reception is not always manned but someone is always about at the poolside or floating around inside the building. You have your own room key with a double turn lock so we had no problems with security. We would go back here in an instant. Has good wi-fi service at only €2 per day.

“Great value for money, pleasant and spacious”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2009

people found this review helpful

This simple little hotel has everything you need. It's clean, welcoming, the rooms are spacious and pleasant. The surrounding is a bit loud during day time, but that also means a million beach bars and tavernes in a minute. There is a pool with a bar where locals hang out, where I ended up dozen away, watching young greek musculous guys playing in the pool, too shy to talk to me..
if you come with the bus, get out at the dark-wood type restaurant with a moulin and take a right towards the beach.
