“very good, fantastic views”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2010

person found this review helpful

My husband and I arrived at Rodini just by chance, after a long drive and having found nowhere else to stay: most properties were shut, the season being apparently cut short by the credit crunch. We asked for a sea-view roon and got a corner one with big balcony, tip-top bathroom, fluffy towels in every size, complimentary slippers, AC, firdge. There is a commanding view over the gulf, a swimming pool area, a patio with lounge bar (expensive) on the seafront. The beach is not much, just a strip as often on the Corynth gulf and I would advise to walk to the near diving centre, instead. The hotel restaurant was closed so we headed, on the receptionist's advice, to Psathopyrgos, about 2 km north, off the road to Patra: it is an endless row of fish restaurants on the waterfront: consider taking a dip before your meal, the water is crystal clear and really inviting! The food at 'Angistri ' (the hook, in English) delightfully fresh and cheap.
Breakfast was not the best selling point, but still acceptable.

“Run down and tired, terrible service.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2010

Wouldn't recommend this to anyone, rooms very basic. You were lucky if you got a clean set of towels, I had to ask twice and room only got a quick once over as a clean. Buffet restaurant not that good, depended when you came to eat, left it a bit late and not a lot left on the buffet. Careful as you pay, if you pay when you've eaten, watch they don't try to charge you again when you leave, did with us! Hotel staff not particularly friendly.

“Not bad, but overpriced”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 July 2010
2
people found this review helpful

Overall, the hotel is not bad and to mention few of its advantages:
- Right to the beach;
- Free wireless internet;
- Free parking;
- Clean rooms;
We also had some negatives for it like it was not mentioned that some of the extras are not included in the price (i.e. the sauna). Everything in the hotel is very old as furniture and its location is quite hard to find. The breakfast was really poor, especially for the price we paid.
All in all, it is a fair hotel, but it does not worth the price we paid. If it was cheaper, I would definitely recommend it as a good low cost opportunity, but paying 60 EUR for double room, you would expect a bit more.

“Expensive for what it offers, nice othewise”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 June 2010

person found this review helpful

Rodini beach hotel is located next to a very nice beach. The building is very old when you look from the outside but is well preserved and decorated in the interior.

Their leaflets say that it is a 4-star hotel but there aren't many things actually justifying that. The rooms are clean but nothing special (i stayed in a double room with a colleague) as there is just a table (with a mirror and a chair) and a wardrobe. There is a small 14'' TV that only received 2 channels (one of them local)...There is air-condition, we didn't use it.

Bathroom was spacious but definitely old. Bath tub was at least 20 years old and there was no curtain.

Breakfast was very poor, just some cheese and ham, 2 types of cake, bad quality juice and coffee from a strange coffee machine. On the contrary, lunch/dinner buffet is much much better, bigger variety and great tastes! As it is not included in the price, it is can be considered expensive, 14 € per person.

Pool is small (around 4x7) and has a view to the side of the hotel, next to the parking place. If you don't have a car, it takes 20-25 minutes to get there by bus from Patra.

All in all, it is not a bad hotel. The staff is friendly, the view to the beach and the sea is great, it's located in a quiet place and you can have some relaxed days with friends/partner. But for sure there are hotels inGreece with better service for the same prices, so it's worth searching a bit more

“Too expensive for what is provided”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2009

person found this review helpful

I went there for a weekend with my husband. We did a phone booking for the price of 55 euros (which wasn't a special offer, but the regular price for a double room with BF).
When we arrived, there was a buzzing sound and no light in the bathroom, so we went to the receptionist who immediately gave us another room.

The rooms are comfortable and have a big bathroom with a bathtub, hairdryer, soaps and shampoo. No shower gel, nor bathroom curtain. There is a small Tv, wardrobe, desk with mirror and nightables. Also a small fridge ( but not mini-bar type) and A/C. No safe in the room for storing your valuables in case you need one.

Although the room seemed pretty clean when entering, with a closer look you could see that the bathroom wasn't that clean after all: there were hair on the floor and some dust and tiny bugs near the bathtub. To be fair, it DID have a huge window open just on top of the bathtub so probably there you have the reason of the dust and bugs.
The bedroom was pretty clean, no problem there.

What I didn't like was the breakfast. I believe it was very poor for what I expected for that price. Your coffee came from an automatic coffee/ tea/ chocolate machine, which made the quality of the coffee disgusting. The buffet wasn't inspiring you with cleanliness, nor the tables which gave you the impression they had been layed for a wedding sometime ago and were just left there unused ever since.

Also, at some point, an old man ( who seemed to be the owner) just grabbed some slices of salami and ham from the buffet for feeding some 5-6 kittens that were miawing on the balcony. Hats off to him for caring for them, but yet it left me with the question whether the cats were eating nice, fresh food, OR if we were just having old ham for breakfast!! :P

Last, but not least, when we left and wanted to pay for the room, the receptionist asked another price from the one he had given us (10 euros more). Of course provided he remembered our conversation we just had it for the original price. Yet another thing to doublecheck before you go there!

All in all, I believe it was too expensive for what it had to offer, provided that it seemed a bit as if it was once, in the 70's maybe, a glorious hotel that has just lost all its glamour and life and is just there trying to hold on.

A definite no-no for people who have high expectations from a hotel, honeymooners, romantic gettaways and people with family.

If you are young and do not really care for all the above, I'd say go for it IF you can't find something for a more affordable price.
