Our stay at the hotel was.. interesting.
I'll start with the drive to the hotel. It is definitely not central to Mykonos Town. It is a 10-15 minute walk downhill from the hotel which you have to walk back again - uphill. We found this exhausting once you get through the road that feels like it leads to nowhere due to all the chickens and goats.
We arrived at the hotel to greet the concierge who had minimal communication skills. I could not figure out whether to speak English or Greek to him. He informed me he spoke neither of those languages. He only knew a fraction to check us in to the hotel.
I found this frustrating as you need to be able to converse with hotel guests especially when welcoming them. First impressions last!
I asked the concierge for a map as I explained we felt we were far from the town. He told me there were no maps available. Could he not take the initiative to print one from Google?
However the hotel is beautiful. It's modern it's aesthetically pleasing and it did reflect the photos in its' advertisment. BUT I found bugs in the room. Particularly baby cockroaches and flies. Our bed sheets were not changes our beds were just made again the next day.
The walls seem paper thin, at night we could hear alot of noise coming from the managers room as they live at the hotel. It was horrible. You don't really want to sleep whilst you're in Mykonos the nightlife is simply amazing however two nights when we wanted to sleep we could hear screaming and yelling which we didn't appreciate.
There was no remote for the tv even if we wanted to watch tv. Breakfast was ok.
