  : 1. Our room is different from what I booked. The room is so small and damp smell in the shower room.2. Staff helped carring my luggages to the 7th floor, but my husband carried his own. There is no elevator in the hotel.3. There was no one answering service call at reception.

  : The location was perfect, slightly outside the town, but within close proximity and walking distance. the staff were particularly helpful and attentive. The private beach area was very comfortable and convenient - the other beaches were less accessible than we assumed. No lift, but this is to be expected, as this is one of the older, established hotels adjacent to the beach / sea

  : The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Reading other people's posts on the amendable staff led to me booking it and I agree - the staff sets this place apart and made me feel very welcome and comfortable. Hat tip to the bartender too - he made us excellent original creations. All other staff members were very helpful and positive. I definitely enjoyed my stay and would stay again.
  : The only thing to note is the rooms are a bit tight. Not unacceptable, but just the average room won't accommodate a lot of luggage. Additionally, if you are not used to stairs, this may not be the place for you.

  : Nice staff and not too busy hotel which enables us to swim and eat with ease. Aditionally, the location was great in terms of view at closeness to amenities.
  : There was no lift which we knew but getting the top floor made it very irritating. The top floor has slightly annoying roofs.

  : PROs* Superb location, at the end of the town, right on the seafront, with only 8 - 10 min walk into the main harbour / square / shopping /restaurants. Mainly flat walk, 2 hills.* Fabulous views from the restaurant, the bar / pool terrace, from the beach restaurant, and from the 3 beach terraces.* Friendly, cheerful, courteous, helpful staff that make you feel right at home, and are delighted to see you every day. We especially liked the lady who serves breakfast and lunch (Sakina??) and the guy in the bar, (Tasim?) who played all our music requests, and made up a playlist of our favourites! He is so chilled and cheerful all the time. Also, the guys down at the beach who are buzzing around with towels and drinks - nothing is ever too much trouble to ask them!* Good outdoor areas with plenty of sunbeds. The beach club swimming spot has 2 ladders down into the crystal clear sea - one is longer - and a fresh water shower.You get fresh towels every day at the beach club and the pool.* Really nice lunch terrace above the beach. We really appreciated that when we didn'tfinisheda bottle of wine, they put our room number on it, put it back in the fridge and kept it till the next time we wanted it. Or you can get drinks / food served to your sunbed.* The bar terrace is a lovely area to come back to after dinner in town, with low lights, comfy seats, music and sparkling views. We ate there one night, and the food was very good, and cheaper than in town.* Excellent air-conditioning in the bedroom, and a small fridge which was actually cold.* Lovely snow white fluffy towels every day in your room. Bed linen changed every couple of days.* Standard breakfast buffet, with cheeses, yoghurt, olives, salad, fruit salad, watermelon, processed sliced meat (no idea what it was as we never touched it!) and bread that you can toast.
  : CONs* No lift in the hotel. There are 5 flights (about 40 steps or so) of stairs from the street level up to the pool, bar, restaurant area. All bedrooms are up more stairs after this!* The hotel is old, furniture is basic, and a bit worn out in places. But very clean in all the main areas, even though our floor was only swept once. So, we had sand and leaves etc on it most days.* We had no bedside lights or lamps, just overhead lights. Very bright, if one person wants to sleep while the other person is reading. You have to get out of bed to go and switch off the light.It would be a cheap thing to buy 2 small lamps to make the room better. Also, provide 2 (washable) glasses instead of 2 (disposable) paper cups. More eco-friendly!* There was a strange arrangement with the bed linen! (in our opinion - but maybe every hotel in Kas is the same?) There was a bottom sheet, and then there was a cotton blanket. No top sheet. The blanket was the exact size of the bed surface, so not really big enough for 2 people. We asked for a top sheet, & no problem, we got one. BUT, every day, for 9 days, the housekeeper took it off or folded it right down to the bottom of the bed. So, we needed to fix the bed again every day.* The bathroom was TINY. It's a very basic one person space! The undercounter cupboard under the sink had the doors taken off, so it looked like a half done DIY job. The bathroom is painted, no wall tiles, even the shower. But, hot water always.* Fresh orangejuice isn't included in your breakfast. You pay extra.And plastic straws instead of eco-friendly paper ones!* Really terrible coffee from a filter machine. Maybe poor quality coffee grounds? One morning we asked for an Espresso and a Cappucino from the barista machine in the bar, but the cappucino was really watery, and the espresso tasted the same as the jug coffee, not freshly ground beans. And we had to pay extra for them.
