City Green Hotel

"Just finished a holiday at the City Green Hotel—a successful week. The food was really good, and the rooms were clean and well-kept, though the bathroom (shower) was a bit small. Boguśka, the waitress, really gets everyone in high spirits. It’s a small hotel with a good location. I recommend it."

"First night after arriving the room next door was playing football on the landing, shouting and slamming doors until 1am until we had to go out and ‘parent’ the teenagers next door. Mixed group of ages staying but the amount of young adults made the place feel like a hostel, with constant shouting, and none stop door slamming every night whilst they bounced from room to room. It’s 100% not a four star, 3 feels overly generous as the amenities are very basic and the atmosphere very ‘budget’ hotel. I understand the need for fire doors but the lack of sound proofing made it an uncomfortable, sleep deprived week. There are two hotel pools, one that’s in the shade by 4pm, no issues getting a sun lounger. There was house music/ RnB played by the pools everyday with no change up. This made it hard to relax at times as the music was played at a high volume. Food was very basic with not much choice but not much of an issue for me as I’m not much of a foodie but could put some people off. Hotel very clean, best feedback I could give is it’s very central, everything is within reach and a local bus stop five minutes away should you wish to go further. As a whole I wouldn’t stay here again, I feel betrayed that’s it’s advertised as a four star adults only hotel and it was nothing but a rowdy budget hotel and should be advertised as an 18-30’s holiday."

"Basic hotel in a great location, but I wouldn’t stay here again. The hotel has two decent-sized pools with plenty of sun loungers available, which is a real plus. It’s also in a fantastic central location, with the lively centre of Hersonissos just a five-minute walk away. The beds are very comfortable, and the hotel itself is clean. Now for the negatives… This hotel is advertised as a 4-star, but in my opinion it feels very basic. The food wasn’t great. Although the menu changes most days, there is very little choice, so if you don’t like what’s being served you’re quite limited. This may be because it’s a smaller hotel. The shower was incredibly small and not practical. There wasn’t enough room to close the shower curtain without it touching you, which I found unpleasant. I ended up showering with the curtain open, leaving water all over the bathroom floor. The atmosphere was probably my biggest disappointment. Despite being an adults-only hotel and being advertised as having a relaxing atmosphere, it felt more like a youth hostel. There were groups of young adults being loud, shouting, running around, spitting, and generally behaving disrespectfully. Doors were constantly slamming throughout the night, and noise echoed around the hotel, meaning we were woken up every night. I appreciate that guest behaviour isn’t entirely the hotel’s fault, but it certainly didn’t provide the peaceful environment that was advertised. I also found some of the bar staff to be quite rude and sarcastic, which made us feel uncomfortable at times. They were also smoking close to the snack bar and serving guests in between smoking, which I found unprofessional. On a positive note, the reception staff were always friendly and helpful. Although there are two pools, one is completely in the shade by early afternoon, so it’s worth choosing carefully where you settle for the day. The hotel also plays loud rap and R&B music around the pool throughout the day. If that’s your kind of atmosphere you’ll probably enjoy it, but if you’re looking to relax, it may not be ideal. The volume was often much louder than necessary. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel. We paid a significant amount for our stay and didn’t have a single uninterrupted night’s sleep. The limited food choices and noisy, hostel-like atmosphere meant it wasn’t the relaxing holiday we were expecting."
