Hotel Avra

Très bien situé, chambre propre et agréable, vue sur la mer

We stayed at this hotel for 8 nights as a group of families with children. The hotel is currently under renovation, so some rooms are modern and nicely designed, while others are still in the old style. We booked 2 double rooms and 3 triple rooms directly by email, but upon arrival we were informed that the hotel only had double rooms available. The two options we were given were: to add an extra bed in the double rooms or to take our deposit back and find another place. As a large group with kids, changing accommodation last minute was not really possible, so we chose the extra bed option. This was a compromise, as the rooms are quite small and adding another bed left very little space. Initially, they wanted to charge us for triple rooms, although they were doubles with an extra bed, but in the end we managed to reach an agreement and they offered us the double room rate plus a 10% discount for the inconvenience. That solution was fair enough. What was disappointing, however, was the cleaning service. Out of 8 nights, our rooms were cleaned only twice. We would leave in the morning for the beach, return around midday for the children’s nap, and then go out again in the afternoon – in total, the rooms were empty for 6–7 hours a day. Even so, the staff claimed they could not fit cleaning into their schedule. Another unpleasant experience was on our last night. A young tall receptionist knocked very loudly on our door, visibly upset, and spoke to us in a very rude, almost aggressive manner, saying there had been a complaint that our 2.5-year-old child was crying too loudly. While we understand it can be disturbing, we believe this is not the right way to address customers – especially families with young children. This is not an adults-only hotel, and small kids sometimes cry; it’s part of the experience, and requires patience, not hostility. Parking is also an issue: for a four-story hotel, there are only about 6 parking spaces available. Finding a spot on the street is extremely difficult, as the resort is very crowded. On the positive side, the renovated rooms are very comfortable and tastefully decorated. The hotel itself is clean, and the location is excellent – just a few minutes’ walk from the beach and many tavernas. Overall, it was a mixed experience. With some improvements in management, cleaning service, and staff attitude, this hotel could be a great choice in the future.

Constraction site instead of the hotel We arrived to the hotel after midnight, the rooms we got were the only rooms on the floor that the renovation was not in progress. We checked a month before the arrival at the reception if they served breakfast. In the morning we were told since the hotel is being renovated there is no breakfast served at all. There should be rules that compensate situations like this: providing another hotel for instance. Really upsetting situation that no one whats to take responsibility.

Room was just great, air conditioner was efficient, you can see the beach and the sea from the balcony, good fridge, tidy bathroom. The staff was friendly. It was possible to leave the luggage after check-out, when our flight will leave later.

Small and friendly hotel. Couldn’t do enough to help you. Right on the beach. Not fancy but just what was needed for a week’s get away. Room was cozy but always clean and the nights were quiet even though you were close to the busy strip. We’d stay again

Nice room many food options near. Very good Communication and Easy Check in
