Oneiro Boutique Hotel

We’ve just returned from 2 weeks (beginning of June) in room 311 (ground floor) Positives 1. Great location - Bus stop and a car park just across the road. Supermarket is attached. Beach, bakery, tavernas, bars and shops in very short walking distance. We found it to be quiet in the evening and mornings compared to some other reviews here. 2. Calm pool area - There is no music around the pool which wasn’t an issue for us. Water is a nice temperature. However we didn’t spend much time at the pool, we used the free sunbeds on the beach daily (King Size), their staff were just amazing and so attentive with beach service! 3. Rooms are nice - Relatively modern with nice building design & kept fairly clean. Large room & bathroom with walk in shower. Air con in the main room with mini fridge. 4. Breakfast - We were only Bed & Breakfast for our stay so can’t comment on the other meals or the Taverna itself. I do agree with comments breakfast is basic and the same each day, but I don’t see this as a problem at all, it was pleasant. There’s a coffee machine, juice, water, toaster, pastries, English breakfast type things (beans, bacon, mushrooms, eggs etc), yoghurts, fruit, jams, nuts, bread, cheese & meats. To be honest, you don’t need much breakfast when you have all the tavernas around. The Bakery Shop Gianniotiko is only a 3 minute walk too. Negatives 1. Drinks on room - On check out, we were asked to pay for several drinks, however we’d not ordered anything during our stay. Someone had put drinks on our room number so we argued the bill. The response was “maybe you forgot”…Something needs to be put in place for people to prove their room number before they can put drinks on the room. Thankfully, we didn’t have to pay but a hassle nonetheless. 2. Hair dryer - The hair dryer never worked from the minute we arrived. We complained several times and nothing was done to fix it. Considering a hair dryer is part of the room amenities listed, we didn’t bring one of our own, so it meant going out each evening with wet hair. 3. Smoking - Our room was located right next to the cleaners cupboard which they used as their smoking area. Each day our room was filled with smoke - it was coming in through the air vents in the bathroom which backed onto the smoking area. Probably not an issue if you smoke but we’re non-smokers so it was very off putting and made our clothes smell! Again, we raised it and nothing happened. 4. Lack of bins - This is more about guest behaviour, but due to the lack of bins around the pool area, people would leave their empty rubbish instead of taking it with them when they left. Throughout the day it accumulated to a fair bit of rubbish. If there was a bin in the pool area, hopefully this would happen less! Not a 4* hotel in my opinion and is not worth the extra you pay & also pay in tourist tax (compared to other lower rated hotels in the area). We paid 4* €140 for 2 weeks (€10 per room per night), whereas if we’d stayed 2* it would be €28 for 2 weeks (€2 per room per night). Not a horrible stay or hotel by any means and it’s really enjoyable for most people, but unfortunately because of our personal experience, we wouldn’t go back

Nice looking hotel but not 4star in my opinion. Arrived late at night and welcomed by young staff member.Next morning found the waste pipe from the sink was detached so was unable to use. Complained three times as no action was being taken. I had to strongly insist on a room change which was eventually agreed to. New room was fine and larger however there was no rose on the main shower and the control was inoperative. There was a hand held shower which was very good. I reported the shower issue but there was no response. A few of the parasols were ripped around the pool.In general the staff were friendly and the location was very good. As this was early in the season it was obvious the rooms had not been checked prior to opening. There seemed to be a lack of managerial oversight which could easily have resolved these issues.
