Vasia Boulevard

"The room was nice and clean, but it lacked closet space. A small drawer and two shelves, one at the top that you couldn't reach and one at the bottom. The suitcase therefore had to remain on the floor. The shower cabin was good, but there was a lack of space at the sink. The balcony was tiny, with just enough space for two chairs and a small table. Garden with a mini pool. The sun only reached in for a short time. Lovely morning buffet. Kind and helpful staff. "The Beach" was under all criticism. There was only room for a single row of sunbeds. The sun also disappeared quickly here, due to the wall to the beach promenade. Payment for this "pleasure" 12 euros for two sunbeds and a parasol."

"I had a wonderful experience at Vasia Boulevard! The service was excellent, the dinner was delicious, and the view of the Old Town was beautiful. The breakfast was also very good, with a nice variety of options. The atmosphere was lovely, and everything made our stay special. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great service, good food, and a beautiful view!"

"Vasia Boulevard is NOT a 5 star hotel, not even close. Their website states they are a boutique 5 star hotel. Some things are good - the hotel is modern and clean - the bedrooms have good beds and again are clean and functional The food is the biggest let down in the hotel - the breakfasts are quite decent - the evening meal suffers from menu fatigue - the starters and deserts are almost identical every night anyone could do the preparation, as it is mostly cold with the occasional luke warm dish. The main courses have 3 or 4 choices and all the vegetables served with the meals were cold to lukewarm warm. It is obvious that all the vegetables sit in a Bain Marie for hours. The fish was sent back one night because it was raw in the middle. Another night I had small lumps of cuttlefish fish on a green vegetable base like cold spinach. The lumps of fish was so salty I could not eat it. In the end we ate out at a local restaurant for the last 3 nights. To say it had a gym is an overstatement it had a few weights, a treadmill, and a static bike. My knees are not good so wanted to use the bike as no impact on knees. The bike did not work. I spoke to receptionist and guy came down for a look and said they would get someone out tomorrow. We left a week later and the bike had not been fixed. I asked about a sauna or jacuzzi and was told it was now closed for weekend and would open again on Monday. However I could not get just a sauna or jacuzzi I had to pay. They only sold packages with massages etc. One is led to believe the hotel has its own beach, this is not the case it is a very narrow public beach for which the hotel puts out sunbeds. They charge everyone hotel guests included, the same for the use of the sunbeds. The beach is that narrow that you are in shade by 2pm from the hotel itself. There is no use retiring to the hotel pool which is tiny , no use for a swim. It has only 2 sunbeds and some heavy bean bag type beds that are in the shade, as is most of the pool area. The hotel advertises itself as boutique yet there is an absence of ‘ mine host’ when I asked to speak to the Manager he was not available. In fact the owner has 6 hotels in total. I think of a boutique hotel as one where the owner is regularly present looking after the detail. The Vasia Boulevard is nothing more than a decent bed and breakfast."
