Εξαιρετικό minimal design τόσο του δωματίου όσο και των κοινόχρηστων χώρων. Το ωραιότερο μοντέρνο ξενοδοχείο που μείναμε μέχρι σήμερα.

We booked this hotel last minute due to a family emergency with our father being ill in Ioannina hospital, we travelled from UK not knowing where we were going, anything about the place. The hotel is not far from the airport In a residential area which seems odd, however its quirkiness is what I love! The decor and interior design is very contemporary and the quirky! The location is good, we had a car. The rooms were clean, the bed was extremely comfortable. The best thing about the hotel was the staff, especially Iannis (John) he was on the late/night shift on our stay and he was so caring and welcoming, of an evening after visiting our father in hospital we would wind down with a few drinks at the bar and on both occasions he brought out some snacks for us that we had not requested. It was such a kind gesture. We may well have to visit the hospital again in the foreseeable so this hotel is definitely one I will book again, Thank you to the staff

Great location, near the airport, for those of us exploring not just Ioannina but the rest of the region. Modern spacious rooms, interesting decor. Free parking. We had dinner at the hotel on our first night, and the food was delicious, especially the garlic pesto kritharoto. Staff are very nice. Breakfast is good - but not amazing. The hotel will probably need an update soon, it's starting to look a bit tired. The hotel gym needs new equipment too. Our room smelled a little bit of cigarette smoke when we checked in - we spoke to reception but they were fully booked at the time.

Our check-in was extremely quick, and all staff was very friendly and helpful. Towels were changed every day, and room cleaned everyday. Sadly on the down side however, the problems that arose were the following: -The bathroom had a sliding glass door that was extremely unsuitable, (l broke a nail trying to open it), no privacy at all from the bedroom since it did not close properly. -Shower had no curtain or sliding protection door resulting in all the bathroom flooding with water from the shower, making it impossible to get dressed in there. (l had to request an extra bathmat (towel) to be able to walk out of the shower since the one next to it was soaking) --Extremely low lighting in the whole room, especially the bathroom, making it extremely difficult to shave (husband) and for me to put on my makeup. -Breakfast could have had more choices, and at least there could have been a toaster on hand instead of just plain bread offered....and coffee could at least been hot instead of lukewarm. I understand that it is a minimalist hotel, but at least have the essentials i.e. towel rack, bathroom shelf etc Kudos to the cleaning lady who had to clean everyday the water from the bathroom and keep in shining condition Not the 4 star it is made out to be unfortunately. l had read all the reviews from previous visitors and had hoped that the hotel would have taken in account their reviews, but unfortunately, they had not.

Let's start from the basics. What you see in the photos do not represent reality. Well done to the photographer who managed to hide how dilapidated the accommodation is. Specifically: The rooms too small, one on top of the other. The rooms are filthy, dust everywhere. The glass in the bathroom door has probably never been cleaned (see attached photo). Closets, dirty. Basin; Her bottom had changed color, bleach is never used, not a single day did we smell anything in bleach or anything at all that reminded us of cleanliness. The building is in a bad condition externally (damaged - paintwork) but also internally as the furniture was battered and had lost its color as well as the walls have been painted in the corridors. The aesthetics of the hotel are also miserable, curtains everywhere for no reason with strange lights that you don't see in the corridors at night. The room has too many lights, which do not turn off individually, they have a central switch. So either you will be squinted by the light or you won't be able to see in front of you. In the shower we found half-finished shampoos from the previous ones that the cleaners had not collected. 3 days in a row, they didn't put me a panosedon and I had to call them at 12 at night to bring it to me. The cleaners don't use a vacuum cleaner. Broom and farasi and holy God. On the last day I went back up to the room after breakfast and was sweating, we had to leave it wide open for 10 minutes to let it dry out in the cold. Ok I get that people sweat when they clean and do chores but not like this guys, we couldn't stop. Balcony; Ok, chairs on the balcony? ok Small table? Never, so you can't sit on a balcony if you want (if you want to sit on a balcony in the stink, cobwebs and dust that has literally never been cleaned). Let's go to breakfast: Breakfast in the basement ( -1 ) at tables for 8 people which were full of crumbs and you will necessarily have to eat breakfast with other strangers at the same table. The food stale and plastic, the only nice thing was the water. Napkins missing, only if you asked. On Monday, we went down half an hour after breakfast had ended because no one had informed us that on weekdays it ends earlier. So we left hungry. Kudos to the photographer as he has amazingly managed to camouflage this shack you call a 4 star hotel. And if they paid us, we wouldn't go again. 200 euros a night for a family of 3, I'd rather burn it than give it to them. It is worth noting that the most important problem of all of these is cleanliness. It is not clean, the cleaners do not clean, they enter your room for 5 minutes, throw 2 sheets and leave. I suggest the management to review the staff they have chosen for the cleanliness of the accommodation. 1 star because I can't put 0. Far from specific

Where do I start? Good evening we didn't have the central light of the room only 2 small yellow lights just enough to say we see. When we asked if something could be done about the light, he told us that it just happened and he can't do anything about it on the day we went and obviously didn't suggest we change rooms. In the bathroom there was only a small sample of shampoo and a small bubble bath for 2 people. There was no electrical outlet anywhere in the bathroom so my wife had to do her hair outside without a light or a mirror. In general, the room was dusty and the worst was the bed, which you will see from the photo below (it needs no description). Regarding the breakfast, everything was cold and with little variety, they didn't provide paper towels & water unless you asked for it. The breakfast area was extremely cold (we had to bring jackets) let alone that no one cleared the dishes and all this for 27 people who were there for breakfast. Tsamba €75 + €3 tax. Disappointment...

the hotel was unacceptable based on the reputation it has..I can't understand why this property has 4 stars..Breakfast and dinner were the same every day and looked like yesterday.I'm not talking about the rooms small without slippers and bathrobes ..Dirty without changing the sheets for 4 days...I asked to have the sheets changed and they gave me a pillowcase to put on myself..From there we understand how miserable the staff was..The other people I came with had been put room for A.M.E.A. I will never come again..The worst..

It was a choice that satisfied all our expectations! The space as well as the rooms were very special, modern and tasteful. Excellent design even in the standard double we stayed in, which was very spacious and beautiful. The staff was very kind, and willing to serve our every need as well as all our additional requests that arose. Really, I think it was the best choice for the occasion of our visit to Ioannina. Excellent hotel, which we will choose again on our next visit to Ioannina.
