KALITHEA HOTEL

A total disappointment - we would not return Our stay was completely disappointing. We were assured over the phone that there were a few free parking spaces, but upon our arrival in the morning they told us that they never had any and charged us an additional 10 BGN per night for the parking lot 100 meters from the hotel. Guests are required to leave the key with the power supply card at reception, supposedly for room cleaning purposes. However, if another card is used to keep the air conditioner running, it is deliberately turned off by the cleaning staff. When we asked why, we were told that “everything has its limits and they can't afford such expenses.” Hygiene is at a very low level – the room had cobwebs in the corners and on the furniture, the sheets were only changed on the fifth day, and the air conditioner was moldy inside and missing a filter. The fridge was noisy and overheated constantly. The bathroom had an outdated shower curtain and no drain outside the shower area, which caused flooding after every use. Breakfast was the same every day, made with the cheapest possible products – dry and stale. The hotel is located at the top of a hill, accessible only by climbing over 120 steep steps or via a sharp incline – completely unsuitable for families with small children or elderly people.

The room was excellent and the view too, but the thing that left the biggest impression was the friendly and helpful manager and his wife. They were ready to help with every problem, question and issue I had. I even had an accident outside the hotel and when I came back to the reception the manager helped me tie up my broken finger. They were cheerful and always ready to help!

This is a wonderful family run hotel on the is d of Rhodes. The owners are reallly welcoming and friendly from the moment you enter. The facilities an are excellent and the bedroom was comfortable with great air con too! We were made to feel so welcome and will definitely be back here again. Highly recommended.

Absolutely adorable family hotel. Rooms are clean and big. Offers everything you can ask for during your holiday. We arrived late in the night, the owner( we found that the day after) gave us a room with astonishing sea view. The food is beautifully cooked. The service is so quick. The lady serving us makes you feel like home. The breakfast included in the price is freshly prepared in front of you and you can eat as much as you want. They won’t let you go hungry ! We will be definitely coming back. Also the cat that lives in the hotel garden makes you stay even better. See you again, Tom.

Worst breakfast and coffee. Lack òf parking space. I have never seen worse scrambled eggs and disorganised buffet anywhere else. Coffee is horrible mainly cause the machine is not maintained well and not properly cleaned which is a case almost in most cafes on the seaside. I called to book a room and was told they do not have one, so i booked it online which worked. Not sure why they said no, probably expected a foreigner which i technically am. Anyway there was no space for my car through the short stay so they sent me to a council parking which was not expensive but was further up the hill without even offering to pay for it since they have no space. On the last day i saw an empty space and went to park straight away only to see the owner unhappy face as they were waiting for "guests" as we were not such. Appalling experience. They are lucky it was packed everywhere so people are paying ridiculous money for this rooms. No pool, no parking, horrible breakfast what else do you need oh bed. Thats all it had anyway. No change of towels, soaps. Just bin changed. No thanks next time at no cost.
