Eleana

"A small ,spotlessly clean hotel . Rooms are spacious with a modern bathroom with a good shower . Rooms are cleaned every day . Towels are changed daily and toiletries replaced every day . We were at the back of the hotel and our balcony was lovely and quiet with views of the mountains . Breakfast was perfect for us . Mostly continental with lots of meat ,cheese , yogurt, fruit and pastries . Everything was well presented and the staff very helpful . We loved the position in the small town of Nikiana but would advise hiring a car as the choice of tavernas is very limited . Only about 4 in walking distance . The roads are quiet and easy to drive on and we enjoyed exploring the island . I would definitely recommend the hotel Eleana . Quiet , spacious rooms , spotlessly clean and lovely staff ."

"Very kind and friendly staff, good location, parking available although not guarded, comfortable and clean rooms, breakfast not exceptional"

"The staff at the hotel, especially Eleana, the owners daughter, were fantastic very friendly and helpful. In our room kitchenette our frying pan needed replacing and they went out and bought us a good new one straight away! As it was August parking was very busy but they let me park right next to the hotel in the owners parking space. The beds were really comfortable with 2 separate air conditioning units one for upstairs and one for downstairs, (we had a duplex apartment). The swimming pool area was always very clean and great for families or just to relax. The location of the hotel is superb, only 2 minutes from the port of Nikiana and close to cafes and restaurants etc but set back form the main road so no noise from there. The main area of improvement that this hotel has to focus on is the breakfast which was included in our booking. It really is not up to standard compared to the rest of the hotel and it lets it down badly. I heard other guests complaining to themselves about this so it was not just our family that struggled to like anything. The fried eggs were literally cooked to bullets, so forget about sunny side up! Everything was the cheapest quality, even the coffee was insipid and almost undrinkable. The juices were just fruit sugar solutions and there was mainly a lot of very sweet (cheap) small cakes for breakfast. The cheese was packet sliced "Gouda" that tasted like rubber and the small squares of white "feta" on offer puts shame to its name. This is such a disappointment and let down for an otherwise lovely hotel. If you can book without breakfast I would strongly recommend that. There is no main beach with sand all are with pebbles, the best one locally being nearly 1 km away with limited sunbeds, so get there early. However the seawater is beautifully clear and clean with a multitude of fish swimming around."
