Archontika Karamarlis

We returned after three years and found the entire Karamarlis family, including young Marika and Yorgo, to be equally welcoming. The property was once again perfect: a charming hotel in a beautiful setting, a room with a terrace and breathtaking views of the Volos sea, impeccable cleanliness, and an excellent sweet and savory breakfast. Highly recommended, also for its excellent value.

I'll start with the positive. Excellent location. Too many stairs but ok. It's Pelion. Graphic, amazing. - Impossible sight! Sometimes I could sit and watch the view from the breakfast hall, from the cafe or going down the stairs. In us and from the room but they don't all have the same view. - Delicious breakfast and very good hours 8.30-11.00 Go to the negative. -Permanently rude staff (is one basically, the owner). - Serious heating problem. In one of the three rooms we closed, the heating was broken. We contacted them and they said that he probably caught an ideal temperature. They didn't deal. The friends who stayed froze. It was cold from the beginning. They never checked it. They didn't sleep from the very cold. They rebuilt the fireplace, smelled, opened a window, turned off the fireplace, washed wood again. A trouble without reason. Let the owner have an electric heater (if it really was unfortunate happened to spoil the radiator that day). The next day a master saw it, they were not being made and they just turned on the air conditioning that had it until then closed and we had no access to light it that cold night. The next night, in the other two rooms that had a good heating so far, it was closed centrally by the owner due to probably a warmer day when we were cold in both rooms. We mentioned it at breakfast the next day with us. It wasn't unbearable but you didn't say it and thank you. We bowed. I was talking about expensive rooms. I was in a suite! - The room wasn't very clean. He had spider tissue somewhere and again it was a suite. -The rooms were untreated. For example, in the bathroom there was a large iron outside the bathtub with sharp corners and close attention to the child. The tires in the bathtub were all old and dirty. As soon as I touched them to see if the bathtub closed more, the tires were left in my hand and I put them back. - There was no basket in the room, with effect every day to leave our garbage next to the TV to pick them up (e.g. bottles of water and more). They didn't naturally sink if they put a bat. - There was no lighting at all on the inexperienced stairs, with the effect of using a cell phone lens in the evening to observe every step. -There was no light, as I said before, but it was everywhere with very loud music in the common spaces that operated at noon when we slept. Also, the owner passed out of the rooms talking too loudly. -There was a cafe in the hotel like a veranda, where we sat to watch and from the whole menu there was nothing to eat! Only drinks. One of the days we stayed. Out of curiosity I asked only on Saturday (I say a day of high visibility in the cafe regardless of rooms) because they had nothing and they answered that the staff is missing. - There was no wifi. Really indifferent to me though I had trouble with my job that I had to connect but generally bothered many. - The TV, which also leaves me indifferent, started a channel. Again, they were very expensive rooms. - I read they have wifi and parking, which they don't have. Parking also has a good area as an area for that and I mention it last.

If you exclude the staff who were polite and pleasant the whole room was tragic!!Very small that you could not get up from the bed due to lack of space, and the bed was the worst I found as the layer was tough and rubbed if you wanted to turn side!!In the bathroom the kazanaki ran all day and we had to close the ruby!!Finally the cherashaki in the whole stay was a wonderful speaker right outside our room that played all day and noon unstoppably as it was the bar!!Generally it was a bubble of 100 euros
