Alkioni Hotel

The place is good, and adequate but not brilliant. It was generally clean and the rooms were adequate, typical 2/3 star Greek rooms so no issues there. We did have some issues with ants but didn’t ruin anything and they were not a major problem (just had to make sure we didn’t leave any packets open and kept the room clear) Pool area needs some TLC. Leaves being blown into the pool and the cleanliness is an issue. One day we had a green film floating on the pool which meant it wasn’t useable and we had a wasted day - the communication was lacking and it was only everyone asking if it was being sorted that we were told they were coming to clean ‘later’. I don’t think there is frequent cleaning (saw it cleaned once) and no one checked the chlorine levels that we ever saw (they don’t have anyone looking after grounds etc so doubtful it was happening and if it was likely the pool scum wouldn’t have been an issue!) Breakfast was adequate, wasn’t much variety but it did the job. Was served to you on a tray for you to take away but assume this is to reduce waste and manage resources. It was very quiet which was nice but not so great for our children (10 & 12). Everyone was English who stayed and was a friendly atmosphere. The location is great 7/8 minutes into the centre with plenty of restaurants and a few little shops to buy basic essentials. Restaurants were all really good, our favourites were Delicious and Maria’s. Cozy was also really good but a little more upmarket than the others which were more rustic. I think we ate in 2 twice but otherwise there were plenty of variety over the 11 nights we stayed. The bakery over the road and Jerry’s were also really good - Jerrys does the best chips, taste just like chip shop chips! Overall we had a good break, it was very relaxing - we would go again, but maybe without the kids, but we won’t be looking to book, like some who return again and again, but it’s not somewhere I wouldn’t visit a second time. As long as you expect the basics you can’t go far wrong for a relaxing holiday with a basic base to explore or just chill by the pool (proving they keep it cleaner!)

Lots of mixed reviews for this hotel but you pay for what you get! We had a lovely stay, so peaceful and relaxed. Great size pool, loads of sun beds, comfortable beds and perfect location. Thank you to Maria, your breakfast serving was a first and the ever cheerful Anna. Katelios was beautiful, can’t wait to return.

Wanted a quiet week away , Katelios certainly fitted the bill , even in August . Chose the Alkioni for its convenient location to the seafront and bakery. An easy walk of about 7 minutes, wouldn’t say it’s uphill , a steady incline . The room was a good size with large comfy bed & good size balcony , all with view over pool & to the sea . Bathroom was on the small side , there is no shower curtain/screen but there is a shower tray. Didn’t find the room got flooded as pressure wasn’t that great . Perfectly functional though & all kept clean . Breakfast was a table laid out in the pool bar serving toast , jams, yogurt, one type of fruit , honey , cheese , ham , tomato , bacon & fried egg . You say what you’d like & it’s put on a tray for you to take to a table where coffee/tea & orange juice is served . Never had it like that before but I suppose that is what works for them as only a small number of rooms. The grounds don’t seem to be maintained, the grass could do with cutting and areas weeded . Some more planting would certainly lift the place . Seems to be an issue with the cleaning of the pool . There’s an area of trees to one side with lots of dead leaves on the ground , which were constantly being blown into the pool . Several mornings there was a green covering on the floor of the pool & once a layer on the top which made the pool unusable that day . Someone was brought in to clean it & the TUI rep was aware . Hopefully issue will be resolved . Very quiet there during the day and evenings , the staff didn’t interact much with the guests . If you want somewhere with a good quiet location & don’t have high expectations, the Alkioni would fit the bill but has much more potential.

I've stayed in lots of Greek hotels and this one is pretty much par for the course. Facilities are basic but adequate; my only criticism is that the room (and hotel generally) is due for a refurb - nothing major, just a lick of paint and a couple of minor repairs. On the plus side, there was free air-con, which is quite unusual, and the pool was great. Most of the guests were adults who wanted a peaceful and relaxing break, so it was nice and quiet both during the day and at night. Breakfast was simple but pretty much what I would choose anyway, and the staff were friendly and helpful. We had lunch at the hotel a couple of times and it was great. The location is ideal, being a 6 or 7 minute walk from Katelios beach with its handful of bars and tavernas, all of which are excellent. Overall, we had a great holiday and would definitely consider returning to Alkioni in the future.

We stayed in top floor apartment and it was very average. The shower facilities are prison like and are riddled with ants. We expressed concerns every day about the ants, as they got everywhere, but they weren’t taken care of. We paid for bed and breakfast, but ate here only twice, as it was like being served in school canteen and it wasn’t served with a smile. Luckily we had a car and we only really used this place as a base. The beds were comfy enough, but with the fear of ants all over, it was difficult to get a good nights sleep. I wouldn’t book this hotel again, it was very average and is in desperate need of some TLC!

We have just returned from this very friendly family run hotel. We found it had everything we needed. Our room was clean and tidy, towels were changed each day, white, soft & fluffy. Breakfast was served to us on a tray, choice of cereal, toast, eggs, bacon, tomatoes, cheese & ham, Greek yoghurt and fruit. Tea, coffee & orange juice, The pool is lovely, nice and clean & deep, plenty of sun beds for all. The bar is open and when we were there closed when you stopped drinking 👍 A lunch menu is provided, with adequate choice and good food. It is a 5 minute walk to the beech, bars & restaurants. Supermarkets not far away either. We had tasty meals from different restaurants that make you feel very welcome. We have booked to return in September, cannot wait. See you all soon. ✈️👍☀️
