I know there will always be someone unhappy with a Hotel. I have never had cause to complain before on holiday but in this hotel there is a high chance you will be disappointed with your room so please read on. This hotel has a lovely location.It is right on the beach and just outside of busy Parga Town. It is clean and staff are nice. Breakfast is good for continental style. However the location of rooms in this hotel vary from amazing to extremely disappointing. This also has nothing to do with price paid! My husband and I love Greece, go every year and are used to basic Greek accomadation. We had a room which was on the 2nd floor. It is described as 'cosy chalet style'. The room was dark with low beams, bathroom nice but the balcony was like a look out post. It was completely boxed in, quite oppressive, dark all day the sun never able to get in. It had a wall in front which meant you had to stand up to see the sea view. It would have served well as a look out post for an invasion! Most people enjoy the balcony on holiday and we spend a lot of time on it, this was not a space that you wanted to stay in. We were deeply disappointed and would not like this to happen to anyone else. We tried to change on next change over but were not able to as 'the owner would have to change his rota for weeks ahead'. This room was number 41 but 42 was even worse. These rooms are sold at sea view prices. If you are booked in the Achilleas check this out. There are some amazing rooms with lovely balconies and I am sure if we had had one of these we would be writing a glowing report. However I dont feel it should be such a lottery, we all save hard and holidays are precious. Customers should know exactly what they are getting. Watch out for any of the rooms that are on the added top floor!! There are also rooms that dont have a balcony only a terrace that looks into the hotel reception!! Parga is lovely and the location is great, but check out the room!! 28/29/30/31/32 are all lovely. Good luck . If we were to revisit Parga we would book into the Alfa just down the road.
