Anny Studios

Very disappointing experience !!! Unfortunately, our experience at Anny Studios was extremely unpleasant. The cleanliness was terrible: hair on the pillows, dirty tiles, and a very old bathroom with rust and mold everywhere, rusty taps, a dirty toilet flush button, broken and dirty tiles, and a defective shower curtain. The bathroom fan was full of dust, extremely noisy, and did not work properly. The room had no window for ventilation, only the entrance door, and the air conditioning smelled absolutely terrible when it was turned on. The cleaning was superficial, the rubbish was not taken out daily, the towels were stained, the bed linen and mattresses were extremely old and unhygienic, and the furniture was old and damaged. We paid €90 for breakfast, but if we had not asked ourselves, nobody would have told us that breakfast was not actually available. We requested a refund, but the manager initially refused and suggested that we spend the money at the pool bar instead. He later promised to refund the money. After 3 days, we received only €65, while the remaining €25 were promised to be transferred later. We are still waiting for this money. I have attached photos as evidence of everything mentioned above, showing the actual condition of the room and bathroom. We were not expecting luxury, but basic cleanliness, hygiene and maintenance should be a minimum requirement. We believe that an accommodation operating in these conditions should not be allowed to continue operating, and the situation should be inspected by the competent authorities. I will also leave this feedback to all sites I will find this accommodation, to help others not to make the same mistake like us. We will also file a complaint with the General Secretariat for Consumer Protection and request an investigation into the conditions provided and the way the refund was handled. We are still waiting for the remaining money and strongly do not recommend this accommodation.

We loved our stay at Anny Studios. Very close to the beach we just crossed the road and we were on the beach which we loved. The beds are very comfy and the rooms are clean in general. The pool has a bar with music which improves the atmosphere by a lot. The bar man Sebastian is very nice too which makes it easier to enjoy your stay. The music also gives a very good vibe which we loved.

This must be the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had during my 45 years of traveling in Greece and other Mediterranean destinations. I’ve been to Santorini 38 times, so I have plenty of experience with hotels on the island. First of all, we were told that there had been a change of management this summer and that most of the problems we experienced were due to this. I don’t know how much of that is true, but here is a list of what went wrong during our stay: The toilet was out of order twice because of an old, rusty chain inside the tank. We booked a room with a pool view and got one—but the view was of the neighbouring hotel’s pool instead of our own. The fridge door had to be lifted in order to close it properly. We could not open the balcony door fully because the bed was blocking it. The TV turned on automatically every time we entered the room and inserted the key card. There wasn’t enough space for a sink in the bathroom, so it was placed beside the bed in the main room. There was a terrible sewage smell—the worst part of the entire stay! Every time we turned on the shower, the smell was unbearable for the first five minutes. The bathroom door had a broken lock and could not be properly secured. In general, the daily cleaning and maintenance were poor. The staff seemed to have completely resigned themselves to the situation and simply given up. Perhaps the most frustrating part was that every time we reported a problem to the staff or manager, they would look at us and simply say, “OK, we’ll have a look at it.” Nothing seemed to happen afterwards. Considering the price, the location, and our many years of experience traveling in Greece—especially Santorini—this was extremely disappointing. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this hotel based on our experience.
