Polis 1907 by Louis Hotels

The Egyptian guy at breakfast made our stay wonderful! From our arrival to our departure, his genuine care and good attitude really made us feel welcome.

Paid top dollar for a unique boutique hotel experience and had a night and morning with several power outages. The hotel did t have a generator and the staff did nothing to appease us the guests or even tell us what was happening. When there is no power in high temperatures it does t matter how beautiful the room Is, one cannot see in he bathroom, access cold water in the fridge or have a fan or charge their phones. This could have been made more bearable by better service but it wasn’t and we checked out early. We wasted our money.

The room rate is on the high side, doubtless influenced by the fact that there’s not much competing accommodation in Polis. There is a restaurant on the ground floor where check-in takes place, with a small and slow lift to the handful of first floor rooms. After hours return to the rooms is via some fairly steep outside stairs to an elevated entry door at the rear of the property. Not sure that the hotel would work well for the mobility impaired. Our room was clean and of a decent size. The small bathroom was behind a pocket door with a somewhat rickety shower door, but serviceable enough. Selecting a rate on the hotel's web site with breakfast included would have added €25 per person to the bill, so I’m unable to say what breakfast my wife and I would have enjoyed for €50. Instead, a very short walk took us to Saddles Cafe and Bar where we had an excellent breakfast at half the price. There is parking on rough ground at the back of the property but the ledge to access it from the road was high, so in our low slung car we chose to use public parking in front of the hotel. At check-in we were asked not to leave the car there overnight, but there was no signage to that effect and we had no problem in doing so.
