Lovely owners, and a very clean apartment with a comfortable bed. Room had free water in the fridge, and Raki. The apartment complex is right on the beach, and I felt very safe walking back at night (I travelled alone). A great place to stay for a relaxing beach break!

Vi hadde en flott uke på Katerina Seaside Studios. Vii hadde altan/rom med utsikt til havet og stranden . 2 min til sandstranden og gode solsenger. Nydelig frokost på restauranten vegg i vegg. Rent og pent. Hyggelig vertskap . Gode senger. Sentralt til butikker og godt utvalg av spisesteder. Trygt og godt. Kommer gjerne tilbake .

Skønt hotel med de sødeste ejere. Vi skulle skifte værelse midt på ugen (fordi vi blev tilbudt en opgradering til havudsigt de første tre dage, hvilket vi sagde ja til) - det var lidt svært at få at vide præcis hvornår vi skulle skifte værelse, men det var fuldstændig problemfrit når det kom til stykket. Alt i alt et vildt hyggeligt lille hotel helt ned til stranden med søde ejere. Jeg vil roligt anbefale dette sted og kunne også selv finde på at besøge det igen.

From the second we arrived, the owners were so lovely and friendly. We were shown to our room where there was a carraffe of raki, a bottle of wine and a bottle of water waiting for us. Not only that but soap, shower gel and shampoo, perfect for if you've not packed any. To top it off there were also slippers! We went for a room with a sea view which was lovely. There were sun beds on the beach provided by the owners which was literally meters from the studios. We would certainly stay here again.

Fantastic property and the loveliest hosts! So nice to have wonderful local people look after you as they told us the best restaurants and cheapest buses etc. Also the property could not be more perfect, a pool right next door and the beach a literal stone throw away!! So so clean and everything you could want in it, would definitely recommend and we will definitely return!

Lite koselig overnattingssted med flott utsikt utover strand/havet. Vertskapet var meget hyggelige. Når vi ankom sto det både vin og raki som velkomstgave. 2 kvelden kom hotelleieren inn på rommet med nystekt lunsj til oss. Reiser gjerne tilbake, og anbefaler dette overnattingsstedet.

Sehr zu empfehlen!

Wer einen angenehmen, ruhigen Urlaub ohne Luxusansprüche zu stellen sucht, ist hier gut aufgehoben. Das Inhaber-Ehepaar ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend sowie hilfsbereit. Gleiches gilt für das Personal. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und wer ein Zimmer mit Meerblick hat, wird das zu schätzen wissen: wundervolle Sonnenhof- und Untergänge Meeresrauschen beim Einschlafen und Aufwachen. Hier hat man die Möglichkeit seinen Urlaub selbst zu gestalten ohne Animateure und sonstige Unterhaltungsprogramme. Der kleine Zweiplattenherd reicht aus um sich je nach Laune selbst eine Kleinigkeit zu kochen und Frühstückseier sowie Kaffee zuzubereiten. Restaurants, Bars, Badestrand, Wellnessangebote etc. befinden sich in unmittelbarer Nähe. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Jos hotels.comin sivuilla sanotaan aurinkovarjojen- ja tuolien olevan käytettävissänne niin eikö se tarkoita niiden silloin sisältyvän hotellihintaan? Meitä tultiin rahastamaan tuolien käytöstä ja hotellin emäntä ei ollut tyytyväinen kun emme meinanneet maksaa. Lisäksi hotellin isäntäpariskunnan koira haukkui aina kun hotelliin tuli sisälle eli joskus jopa keskellä yötä tai varhain aamulla.

Små studoileiligheter, godt vedlikeholdt, rent og pent. Veldig hyggelig vertskap som gjør alt de kan for at du skal ha det bra! Nydelig sjøutsikt fra veranda! 50 meter til strand med solsenger. Litt små leiligheter, men det gjør ingen ting med denne beliggenheten, og en romslig veranda. Sonio restaurant vegg i vegg, med masse god mat og utrolig hyggelige kelnere, anbefales!!!

Rude owners.

Overall the hotel was okay, but the owners of the hotel are not friendly at all. Aspecially the woman, we could hear her yell at the cleaning-lady all the way up to our room. Also, at one point a friens visited our room (at daytime) and she came banging on the door, yelling and being extremely rude to us. One would think that if it was extra money or some kind of fee she wanted us to pay, for having guests in the room, she could have talked to us calmly. I do not recomend this hotel.

Fint og trivelig sted

Enkel, men fin og praktisk leilighet! Reingjøring hver dag og skifting på sengene annenhver dag. Tok til og med oppvasken! Leiligheten ligger rett ved stranden, med restaurant Sonio rett ved.... her var det god mat! Supermarked ligger også rett i nærheten, samt utallige barer og restauranter! Eneste minuset med ferien var at det var store bølger på stranda og rødt flagg flere dager... kan anbefale stedet på det varmeste!
