Kykladonisia Traditional Settlement

Amazing place, great location spotlessly clean very friendly and helpful staff

Didn’t get the room I booked for (double or twin room). Initially the receptionist assigned me the room in the cave saying other rooms had been full, and that since I booked with the third party he couldn’t do anything for me. ( I don’t know why he kept saying I booked with Expedia instead of Hotels, and the booking information was wrong) I insisted that I had paid more than the one he wanted to give me, eventually he gave me a triple room that was available. The room itself was okay and clean, but the shower had curtain instead of the door that I would have gotten if they gave me the exact room I paid for. So the floor was getting wet afterwards.

I wish I could give this place five stars but I can't unfortunately. Cleaning is very superficial and the furnishing is too simple. They have a pool but I didn't dare hop in it.

I like to give people grace, but there were a few red flags about my stay here. First, reception didn’t open until 3pm, and after contacting the owner via WhatsApp, he told us to leave our luggage in this area behind reception. Granted, I don’t think many people were going through this area, but anyone could’ve accessed it. The gate could be easily opened by anyone (no lock) and everyone’s stuff was just out there. Check-in was fine, but he was very insistent that we pay the tax in cash instead of card. Every other place I’ve stayed in has accepted card to pay this tax and we had to go and withdraw money to do this. The room itself was nice (be warned - plenty of stairs to bring luggage up and down) and unique. However we quickly noticed there were SO many mosquitoes. I killed more than 25 and there were still more. Definitely got bit and bit while I slept. Last major red flag was booking a shuttle with their partner service. I asked both the owner when I checked in and another employee working reception when I paid the tax in cash, so it was definitely scheduled. However we were waiting for the shuttle to the airport, and it simply never came. It also never contacted me via WhatsApp to confirm (like the employee said they would). This is more so the fault of the shuttle service, but I do think some responsibility falls on the hotel itself since this was an advertised service. They apologized for this but wanted to provide this as another example of a poor experience.

clean and very close to center
